built different.
built for men.
The Junto is a men’s gym dedicated to enhancing all areas of life for men, by men.
It’s a space and brotherhood committed to training for whatever life throws at us.
We believe the physical is the gateway.
Our hub is about taking decent men and helping them shape and sharpen their bodies and minds to become the greatest men they can be.
We don’t mind a beer and banter, but for too long the pub and sports culture have left many men in our community a bunch of overweight, stressed, bored, directionless shells sitting there wondering ‘is this all there is?’.
It’s time to change that. Women have their spaces and communities, and it’s about time men had the same. Let’s lift some heavy things, put heavy-duty discussion back on the table, level up as men, get around each other and do cool $hit together.
“It is a disgrace to grow old through sheer carelessness before seeing what manner of man you may become by developing your bodily strength and beauty to their highest limit.” - Socrates
Why become a member?
Who wouldn’t want to be part a community of great blokes who want to level up, serve their community, give life a red-hot go and smash their goals? You’d be silly not to. Being a part of this crew will give you support and hold you accountable to reach your full potential or to pull you out of a rut when you find yourself stuck. Embrace the challenge because together we’ll do some awesome things and you'll be guaranteed to see epic results!
What’s ‘The Junto’?
The Junto was a group formed by Benjamin Franklin back in the 1700s to share knowledge and ideas around morals, politics, personal development all with the aim of mutual improvement.
This new-age Junto is a Men’s Health Hub in Adamstown. A gym that’s much more than a gym.
It provides a space, opportunities, and community where good men become great, and where men experiencing darkness in their life can find a light.
Together we want to support boys to become men who are pillars of their communities in their quest to BE BETTER and achieve their full potential.
We believe this is why the health and social outcomes for men are so poor. To name a few:
Almost 80% of suicides are men
In school, around 90% of children with behavioural problems are boys, and more than 85% with learning problems are boys
Young men between 15 and 25 have three times the death rate of girls
Why we exist
Men in our society (and women too for that matter) are no longer provided with a group of meaningful mentors or a pathway that guides them from boyhood to manhood. Who teaches men life skills when their fathers are absent or too busy? Who holds them accountable to being men of moral character when their friends and role models are as confused as they are?
It’s bloody hard to be a good man. Something needs to be done differently and that’s what we are here to do.
Our mission is to create a place where men can come together to grow, connect, and leave greater than they were.
It may take more than our lifetime but, eventually, there will be a Junto in every town, supporting boys to become men, and men to become mentors. The Junto community will be there for them through all the challenges and transitions in life.
They will not be alone.
