ABOUT HANGAR GYM

Our History

Imagine a gym where you can work on your combat skills AND get a killer strength and conditioning workout – all in one place? Sounds like a dream, right? Well, it’s REAL!

It takes an unbeliveable amount of hard work to open a gym, never mind the expenses, but we we did it! Plenty of 3am finishes with work at our day jobs the following day. However, finally, our gym baby was born on 25th June, 2017 – a date that’s extra special to me, ’cause it’s my birthday!

The cherry on top of that opening day was – for the first time in 3-4 years, all my three kids were in the country at the same time, so were at the opening. With jobs that take them to sea and one who lives in Sydney, it was a rare family reunion and only lasted for one day! So after years of planning and months of building, we opened our doors on that day.  We still have loyal and active members who joined o that very first day. Now, that’s gym-family.

Hangar HPC is more than just a gym – our members are our extended family, and we can’t wait to welcome you into it!

Meet Our Founder

Faith Attwell

 As an MMA enthusiast, I’ve trained in numerous makeshift gyms, all started with passion but lacking the sustainability this fast-paced sport demands. This ignited a conversation amongst friends about creating a comprehensive gym, a haven for combat sports athletes, a concept unheard of at the time. That’s how Hangar was born.
 
The journey of establishing Hangar wasn’t without risks, but I had faith that our hard work would pay off. Friends Matt and Paul were instrumental in the initial stages, contributing ideas, painting, and conducting classes. Matt has since ventured into TV but occasionally drops by to train a client, while Paul remains an integral part of our team.
 
I took massive financial risks to open this facility.
I risked my time, my relationship, my business and even my home! 
But when you plan with Passion, the hard work pays off. And here we are today.
 
Our proudest moment was reaching our first anniversary, a testament to our ability not just to survive but to thrive. 
 
Fast forward six years, Hangar boasts a regular schedule, top-notch coaches, and most importantly, a thriving gym community that exceeds my wildest dreams.

My son (16) has found Paul and Faith and all other staff at Hangar MMA gym to be incredibly helpful role models, aiding him to completely turn his life around, adopt a positive attitude and direction. Fantastic.
Thomas
The best gym I’ve ever been to. Excellent equipment, extremely knowledgable staff and a really friendly environment. I always look forward to going.
Alexa
Absolutely amazing facility, coaches, trainers and staff. Faith & co. work hard for the community and creating a fantastic atmosphere for all. I was very intimidated to start going to MMA classes but I’ve never felt more welcome and can’t wait for the next session.
Samuel
By far the best gym I have ever been to. Very much a family/community vibe where everyone is welcomed and included. As a 40-something woman with a moderate level of fitness and more than a few pounds to lose I was nervous that this wouldn’t be the place for me, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. I love it.
