Founded by Antoni Stojak in 2014, 100Strong represents a unique way to train – one that’s strategic, effective and refreshingly free of BS. We are based in Manly, just a block back from the famous South Steyne beach (in fact we’re tucked in behind the pub). With around 50 regular clients, 100Strong is a small, supportive fitness studio where there’s no negativity or ego. We’re all friends here!
With over 12 years in the fitness industry and a Certificate IV in personal training under his belt, Antoni has gained a reputation for both his highly effective training approach, and his amiable nature. Always keen to explore new fitness techniques, Antoni became Australia’s first male Master of Kettlebell Sport in 2012, and it also the Australian record holder in Kettlebell Sport Biathlon. The techniques Antoni gained from this training have gone on to become the basis for most 100Strong programs, along with exercises inspired by martial arts and classic strength training.
Passionate about health, nutrition and donuts (hey, everyone’s got a vice) Antoni loves training smart, focused people of all ages, and is mindful to tailor his approach to suit each individual. He also likes training to be fun – but be warned, this may involve dad jokes and Beiber karaoke!
Why do you train?
"I’m a bit like a Kelpie (sheep dog)…lots of energy and since I’m confined to an office 5 days a week, I need to led off some steam to reach equilibrium on a daily basis. 100Strong training is the perfect modality for me – a harmonious collision of physical/mental strength and endurance. "
What do you like about 100Strong?
"While my preference would always be for face-to-face coaching, I’m based in Canberra so I train long-distance – and Antoni has shown that this can really work. As a true coach should, Antoni gets to know and understand the individual he is training and prescribes programming accordingly. I sometimes travel to his Manly studio to train and have experienced the positive, relaxed but productive culture and training community he has established. "

"After many years of playing basketball I had come to accept I would never be able to do any form of running or strenuous exercise due to the degradation of my knees.
