About Us
5 STAR FIGHT & FITNESS
Queensland’s most successful fight gym with
world-class coaching and a family-friendly environment
OUR STORY
Where We Started
5 Star Fight and Fitness began in the most humble of ways — in a small backyard shed with nothing more than a few mats, a vision, and a handful of determined fighters. With space for just a small group, we focused on doing one thing exceptionally well: building world-class talent from the ground up.
That little shed saw the rise of future champions, but it also meant turning away hundreds of eager newcomers every year due to space limitations. We knew it was time to grow.
From those grassroots beginnings, we launched 5 Star Fight and Fitness — a purpose-built facility designed to share the same elite-level training with a wider community. Whether you’re stepping into the gym for the first time or chasing your next belt, you’ll find a space that honours where we started and where we’re going.
