Southport, Gold Coast
That line is from a member's review, and it's the best description of the place. Guns At Dawn is a small fight and strength gym in a Windmill Street shed: a full-size ring, bags along the wall, barbells out the back and the same coach on the floor every day. No contracts sold at a front desk, no rows of treadmills. Just the work, done properly.
People come here to learn Muay Thai and boxing from the ground up, to get strong without getting hurt, or to train one-on-one at a time that fits around their day. Some drive down from Brisbane to do it.

What we train
Whether you've never put gloves on or you've been in the ring before, the session is built around where you're at. Beginners and experienced fighters train under the same roof.
Pads, technique, clinch and ring time with a coach who holds pads himself. Reviews call Shaun an awesome pad holder, and members say sparring with him built their confidence in the ring.
Hands, footwork and conditioning in a proper boxing ring. One member came back after many years away from the ring and was throwing kicks like it was natural within weeks.
Barbells, bags and the work that makes everything else easier. Programming with a real focus on injury prevention, so you keep training instead of sitting out.
One-on-one sessions prepared for you, not pulled from a template. Shaun accommodates whatever times you need to book in, from 6am starts to evening sessions.
Group sessions with that old school vibe members keep mentioning. Beginners train alongside experienced fighters and everyone is welcome.
Not sure which one suits you? Ring Shaun and tell him what you're after.

Shaun
Coach and owner
Your coach
Shaun runs Guns At Dawn and he's the one on the floor. Members describe him as a professional with a wealth of knowledge across health and fitness, someone who prepares every class and every personal training session for the day, and who keeps the gym clean and always improving.
His coaching is diverse: boxing, Muay Thai, strength work and conditioning, with injury prevention built into how he trains people. He holds pads, he spars, and he'll book you in at whatever time you can make.
On the platform. Shaun pulling at the 2019 QLD State Titles. The strength side of the gym isn't an add-on, it's something he does himself.
The gym
A full-size ring under steel trusses, red mats, gloves on the ropes and a bar out the back for after. Reviews call it well set out, clean, and in a good location.
“Good place to have a workout or just hit the bag!”
