About Us
S&S
Here at Steel & Stone Gym, we are ever evolving within the industry and aim to shoot above and beyond a regular strength gym. We don't strive to do, we just 'do', whether that be you're a powerlifter, strongman, bodybuilder or just simply want to better your health and become more active.
We hold strong beliefs in creating a culture like no other, and we set the bar high in building a support network of strong like minded people.
We are fully equipped and cater for athletes of every level with state of the art powerlifting, strongman and strength equipment, world class coaches, nutritionists, physiotherapists and massage therapists available for you to utilise in house. and to help teach you the technical approach and educated ways to lift weight, loose weight and manage your goals.
We believe no one athlete is more important than the next, whether you are lifting 40kg or 400kg.

Our Coaching Team
Melon Tolone
Coach Mel, Owner & Head coach of Reaper Strength Cartel since 2016, specialises in strength & conditioning, with a particular focus on strongman, powerlifting, injury prevention, management & rehabilitation and athlete management.
Mel's strength journey started in 2015, training in strongman and powerlifting. As an athlete himself, he have competed in Arnold Strongman, placing 5th out of 30 competitors & competed in a GPC sanctioned Comp securing an invitation to Pro Raw Powerlifting 2020. Some of his best lifts to date are:
*230kg Atlas Stone (an unofficial Australian record)
*380kg Deadlift
*165kg Log Press
*350kg Squat
*210kg Bench Press.
Since the inception of Reaper Strength Cartel, Mel has had 28 lifters compete on a regional, national & international stage. Out of that 28, only 2 missed out on a podium finish. This is a team that prides themselves on being supportive and respectful of their team and other competitors they come up against.
The Reapers call Steel & Stone Gym their home, as they both share the same set of values & qualities and both set our sights high to achieve what most would say is unachievable.
