2012
TWM began in 2012 at the Sandringham Football Club change rooms gym!
Founder, Dan Maitland, followed his passion for heath, fitness and helping others and began training some of his good friends to help them to achieve their health and fitness goals and to increase their self-confidence.
Dan was studying Exercise and Sports Science at the time and, really enjoyed seeing the positive physical results that came from the theory he was learning.
2014
In 2014, after volunteering time at Mentone Grammar and coaching some of their sporting teams, TWM got given an opportunity to utilise the school’s gym and run their strength & conditioning program.
This allowed TWM to take the next big step. Now with a team of multiple coaches, we began to participate in a lot of educational courses, business coaching and began putting together 8 and 12-week challenges.
We made the huge change (not really) from TrainingwithMaits to TRAININGWITHMATES! This created so much hype around the gym allowing us to network with so many different people from all over Melbourne and invest in more education and equipment to ultimately improve our training. We are forever grateful for the opportunity that Mentone provided us during this time.

2015
In 2015, we decided it was time to take the plunge and create our own space! After 3 months of renovations – Mills street Cheltenham became the new stomping ground for TWM and 5 years later we have never looked back!
The amount of support we had during this time was phenomenal. The power of the TWM community was forever building and this was epitomised during such a trying time.
We have had over 1500 people train with TWM at this time, have worked with over 10 sporting clubs & 10 schools.
We have had multiple sessions with teams, corporates and families.
We have had professional athletes through to body building competitors and everyday people alike.
We have run over 30 challenges and over 15 fundraisers.
We have had cancer survivorship groups.
We have run programs for kids and special-needs groups.
We are passionate about learning & creating the best results for our clients and most of all improving everyone’s health, fitness, lifestyle, performance and overall happiness.
2020
Well 2020 was probably the hardest year that TWM had ever withstand as per many others in the health and fitness industry. However – we made it through !! Thanks to all of our members who took part of our online training program, equipment hire and returned to train outdoors as soon as they could.
We couldn’t have done this without you.
The best thing about 2020 was an event that we created called Stride4Stroke. We had a close connection with struggling stroke survivors and wanted to shine on a light on the hidden side affects that they face as well as helping our members set a fitness goal to achieve during a challenging time both mentally and physically.
We have run this event for 6 years now every November and have raised over $250,000!!!!
2022
On August 20, 2022 we opened the doors to our new facility in Mordialloc. 3 x the size of our previous gym, with new equipment and fresh ideas. We are excited for what the future holds. We set this place up in 2 weeks and are very grateful for those who made it possible.
2025
Pilates time!!!
It was time to revamp our pilates studio with this awesome new facility that hosts an intimate pilates vibe that helps people to conquer their health and fitness goals. As well as keep our gym goers injury free!!
The gym now sees over 200 people per month and we have a number of special population groups working with people with disabilities, pre and post party mums, injury rehab groups and more.
