Discover how Reborn Athletic Hub turned personal redemption into explosive growth—building a gym focused on mental health, community, and high-energy training, with support from CloudFit’s scalable tech.

Amid Sydney's crowded fitness scene, Reborn Athletic Hub stands out—not for flashy equipment, but for its impact. Founded by Travis Young, this rapidly growing gym has evolved from a personal redemption story into a thriving community where mental wellbeing is valued just as much as physical transformation.

Business Transformation

The results of Reborn’s community-first approach speak for themselves: Growth from a small facility to a spacious location with three specialized training rooms

  • Classes attracting 60–70 members during peak morning sessions
  • 100+ members training simultaneously across different rooms
  • Sessions starting as early as 4 AM to meet demand
  • A diverse, dedicated, and expanding member base

“We’ve had three facilities since starting, and every time we’ve got bigger. Now we’re at the big dog,” Travis shares proudly.

A Journey of Personal Redemption

Travis didn’t start Reborn as just another gym—it was a lifeline and a new beginning.

“My first gym was called Keeping Young, but it failed because of my own struggles with drugs, alcohol, and gambling,” he says candidly. “I went to rehab and did a 28-day program. I was told only 2% of people stay sober for six months—it's now been over eight years.”

That powerful journey reshaped Travis's vision.

“My first gym was all about big arms, six-packs—what looked good on Instagram. Reborn is about what training does for your mental health. The benefits are not just physical—they’re emotional and mental. That’s where Reborn came from.”

A Community for Everyone

What truly sets Reborn apart is its inclusive and welcoming community. Walk into any session and you’ll see:

  • People of all fitness levels training side by side
  • Classes full of energy and encouragement
  • Personal connections between members and trainers
  • A “tailored touch” that makes everyone feel at home

Blake, a trainer at Reborn for the past 18 months, says:

“We make a real effort to welcome people—especially first-timers—and create that community vibe. I like to know everyone’s name and introduce them to someone straight away.”

Training Philosophy: Structure Meets Energy

Reborn’s training isn’t just intense—it’s intentional. Their approach blends structured programming with high energy and teamwork:

  • Seven-week progressive training blocks
  • Functional training, strength, boxing, and Pilates sessions
  • Regular testing weeks to track progress
  • Collaborative trainer meetings to evolve and improve programs

“We all come together to review and upskill,” Blake explains. “We make changes together and ensure everyone’s aligned on programming.”

And when it comes to session energy?

“Always energy. Always energy,” Blake grins. “A lot of yelling—from us and the members. It’s contagious.”

Experienced Coaches, Real Connections

At Reborn, trainers aren’t just instructors—they’re mentors and role models.

“Working under Pat and Trav is amazing,” Blake says. “They lead by example. It’s not just about lifting weights—it’s about lifting each other up.”

This culture of support creates a gym where members and coaches grow together, in and out of the training space.

Embracing Innovation with CloudFit

Reborn’s growth is also powered by smart tech. Partnering with CloudFit, they’ve integrated digital workout displays across the gym, streamlining both member experience and trainer workflow.

“I stumbled across CloudFit on Instagram,” Travis recalls. “One big reason we chose it is because we want to franchise Reborn. With CloudFit, everything’s customized to our brand—our logos, colors, videos. It looks and feels like us.”

Blake adds:

“We use CloudFit throughout our main arena. It’s like having an extra trainer. Everything’s more organized, especially with different zones and packed classes.”

Without it?

“The old gym without CloudFit? Chaos. I had to turn the music down just to yell over everyone.” (He laughs.)

Looking Ahead

Reborn continues to grow—but the heart of its mission remains unchanged. It’s about connection, healing, and transformation.

“Every gym has weights and cardio machines,” Blake says. “What sets you apart is your tailored touch, your community vibe. People love training with friends. Community is everything.”

For anyone in Sydney searching for more than a workout, Reborn Athletic Hub offers a place where fitness supports mental health, where you’re part of something bigger, and where every rep is a step toward something greater.
