  • “The sessions were hard but incredibly rewarding as I witnessed myself getting fitter, stronger, faster and improving on my stats week on week. I was worried about my wrist injury impacting on my ability to pass the fitness tests but Rob’s rehab expertise had me performing better than I had done for months.”

    - Captain Penny Roussak

  • “In preparation for the Marines Officer Selection Course (OSC), I was overwhelmed and struggling to balance various physical training aspects within my busy schedule. Fortunately, I found Rob, which turned out to be a game-changer. Under Rob's guidance, each session at the was challenging yet rewarding, propelling me closer to my goal. Through this training journey, my mindset transformed, emphasising quality over quantity, confidence in my abilities, and the importance of listening to my body. In the end, this newfound mental strength carried me through the OSC successfully, even during tough moments when I felt challenged. Thanks to Rob - I learned that a healthy mind is just as vital as a healthy body.”

    Nathaniel French

  • "Rob is an excellent coach with tonnes of experience and technical knowledge- always felt very pushed in sessions and was provided with a structured plan to implement. Training with Rob for around a year significantly developed my understanding of biomechanics and how to push my body as much as possible whilst avoiding injury. Saw a lot of progress in my upper body strength over that period and training with him bolstered my confidence in the gym. Also a top bloke!"
