Slaughterhouse Gym operates out of a converted industrial unit on Lampton Avenue, Derwent Park. It is the only dedicated powerlifting gym in Tasmania, and has produced state, national, and world-level titleholders. Gym proprietor Wayne Howlett became the first Australian to total 950kg at 123kg bodyweight and competed at the World Raw Powerlifting Championships in Moscow. In 2014 Slaughterhouse Gym members travelled to Sydney to compete in the GPA powerlifting and bench press competition.
