Speed and athleticism only develop when they are trained properly, and most training does not do that. Built properly, they can be held into your fifties and sixties with very little decline. But you cannot hold on to what you never built, and with everything on social media and whatever an app tells you, it is hard to know what you do not know. For an athlete, built properly, it opens doors in sport. For everyone, it means staying fast, strong and capable for life.
For athletes, speed is king. For adults, athletic performance for life. Coached training designed around where you are now and where you want to go.

A gym hands you a key and leaves you to figure it out. We give you everything you need to get somewhere with your performance and your health.
Coached athletic performance training. Speed, strength, movement and power, to perform better in sport and stay capable in life.
Speed sessions run in the sprint zones, gym sessions in the gym zones. Which zones you train in is set by what you are ready for and what is best for you, and it is decided at your assessment. Both chase the same thing: your athletic peak. Speed Performance chases it through sprint speed, because that is what shows up on fields, courts and in the water. Athletic Performance chases it for life. Same destination, different lens.
Athletes before the growth spurt. As a guide, girls around 10 to 13 and boys around 11 to 14. Coordination, the skill of speed, movement quality and confidence, two coached sessions a week.
Athletes past the growth spurt with a body ready for the gym. Speed Foundation taken further, plus advanced strength and power, body armour, tendon strength, prehab, core and stability. Two to three sessions to start. The number, and when you access more, is progressed on consistency, readiness and recovery.
Adults, former athletes and anyone returning to performance. Lifelong athleticism is the goal: strength, power, mobility, coordination and conditioning, with sprinting included when it is useful. Athletes rebuilding after injury or not yet ready to sprint start here too. Two to three sessions to start, three or more for most.
Sprinting is one of the most effective ways to build speed, power, elasticity and coordination. It's also one of the highest-risk things an athlete can do if the body isn't prepared for it. So we cover both. Teach the athlete to move faster, and build the body that can handle it, with the split tailored to the athlete. The faster and more powerful the output, the more prepared the body needs to be.
Most programs separate speed work from strength work, or throw athletes into random conditioning and call it development. Athletes end up tired without becoming more athletic. Speed is one of the biggest force multipliers in sport, but speed without preparation is a liability. We cover both, and tailor the split to what you need. Roughly 80/20 speed to gym on Speed Foundation, 50/50 to 75/25 speed to gym on Speed Performance, and 80/20 to 95/5 gym to speed on Athletic Performance.
First word is what you build, second is the stage. Your coach confirms which one fits after your assessment. Full detail, prices, session times and example pathways are on the memberships page.
Girls around 10 to 13, boys around 11 to 14. Sprint zones, with gym work at the back end of every session.
Athletes chasing selection, with a body ready for the gym. Sprint zones and gym zones. Speed is king here, and this is where it is built.
Adults, former athletes, and athletes not ready to sprint yet. Gym zones. Lifelong athleticism is the goal.

In progress · the new facility
We are moving into a larger space five minutes from here: undercover sprint lanes over 50 metres, an acceleration and plyometric zone over 40 metres, and the gym alongside. Until it opens, Wednesday morning speed sessions run at the hockey fields and everything else runs at 352 Griffith Rd.
Everyone starts the same way. A quick call, then your Athletic Performance Assessment, and we confirm the right membership, track and starting dose with you.
