ATR FAMILY

Against The Ropes (ATR) is more than just a boxing gym. It is a dream. It is a vision for a better tomorrow. It is family. It is hope.

ATR was born partly out of a need to share the beautiful craft and discipline of boxing to the Fraser Coast in a way not yet seen. Also, to help transform lives, heal through movement, and help people tap into their unlimited potential.

Family operated and owned, we hope to become not only the best boxing gym in the Bay, we are also seeking to expand beyond this and become a ‘one-of-a-kind’ functional strength and movement gym that is unrivalled in price, service, and care for ALL its members, extended family, and community.

It is our mission to bring the best the fitness industry has to offer, whilst fighting back against the toxicity that too often surrounds it, and then make it as accessible and inviting to all socio-economic pockets of society as humanly possible.


Our mission is to put Hervey Bay on the map within the boxing world, as well as be a pivotal player in raising the standard within the local fitness industry.

The energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.
