Gym Bannockburn: Train at Carbon Gym

A solid group of Bannockburn locals train at Carbon Gym for boxing, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, kids martial arts, personal training and 24/7 access. We’re in Norlane on the Melbourne Road side of town, which puts us on the natural route for anyone heading in from the west.

TL;DR: Carbon Gym is about a twenty-five-minute drive from Bannockburn, in on the Midland Highway to Norlane. Boxing, Muay Thai, BJJ, MMA, HIIT, the biggest kids martial arts program in north Geelong, and 24/7 access from $29.99 a week. First class free with the intro offer.

If you live in Bannockburn and you already commute towards Geelong, we sit right on that line in Norlane. We’ve got a good group of Bannockburn members who fold training into the drive they’re doing anyway, and they come for what everyone comes for: a coach in every class, a real kids program, and a gym that feels like a community rather than a turnstile.
