From a humble home gym in a backyard shed to owning one of the most respected fitness facilities in his community, Justin Borg has spent nearly 30 years pushing boundaries—and now helps others do the same through Beyond Limits Fit.
Tell us about yourself?
My fitness journey started as a 15 year old who was an easy target as a small kid at school. I lifted my first weights in the back shed with a basic bench set up, an old barbell, dumbbells and a copy of the latest fitness/body building magazine. I joined my first gym (BC The Body Club) at 17 and have been in and out of gyms for almost 30 years now
My biggest challenge has always been time but I found a way around this with a home gym set up. I always enjoyed the quiet time (when I used to work in hospitality) of just me and the weights. Even to this day, owning my own fitness facility @beyondlimitsfit for almost 10 years, the ability to consistently train myself has proven difficult on occasion. But for me setting goals or using events has always helped and not being afraid to change it up or try new things.
Can you share a significant achievement or milestone in your fitness career?
My biggest achievement was completing the Busselton Ironman Triathlon in 2010. 3.6km swim, 180km ride and 42km run. It was a childhood dream to do this. Then in 2023 I qualified for the Masters League (CrossFit) Finals in Melbourne.
What quote or mantra helps you to keep going?
Embrace the suck and fall in love with the process. Boring gets the results.
My Mantra is: The Ultimate Goal is to feel as young as possible for as long as possible.
What’s your favourite workout playlist or song that gets you pumped up?
My go-to pump up song: Joker & the Thief By Wolfmother, then mid workout Eminem and Foo Fighters.
What’s your favourite piece of equipment from Flex?
My entire gym is fitted out with Flex Gear. We have been partners for 10 years now. As a Master Functional Trainer my fav piece would be Comp Kettlebells. Extremely versatile and humbling.
