Our club is built to help you become great both on and off the mat.
It features a full-size Olympic wrestling mat, Olympic lifting area, strength and conditioning zone, cardio section, change rooms, sauna, member lounge, kitchen, and free Wi-Fi.
​
We also have a pro shop and a relaxed outdoor garden lounge
the perfect place to unwind and socialise after training.
From Humble Beginnings to National Dominance
Gladiator Wrestling Club was founded in 2015 by Australian Olympic Coach Alan Landy with one vision:
To create a training ground that builds more than just athletes — it builds warriors.
Starting with a single mat, a handful of eager students, and an unshakable belief in what was possible,
Gladiator quickly grew into a premier wrestling institution in Western Australia. The mission was clear:
​
“You get what you settle for.”
And we refused to settle for anything but excellence.
40 Years. 10,000 Lives Changed. And We’re Just Getting Started.

The Gladiator Way
Gladiator isn’t just about wrestling. It’s about identity.
It's where boys become men. Where women redefine strength. Where families find discipline, belonging, and legacy.
​
“What we do in life echoes in eternity.”
Every match. Every rep. Every drop of sweat adds to our story — a story still being written.
