OUR COACHES

James has a Masters degree in Exercise Physiology and has worked alongside physiotherapists in rehabilitation and athlete development. Training himself and others, James draws inspiration specifically from Gymnastics Strength Training (GST), Strongman and Weightlifting.

His passion lies in all things movement and performance, encompassing principles from all modalities of training to create beasts of beings. We could tell you about how he grew up playing soccer and cricket like every other private school boy from the Lower North Shore, but this Mosman boy also raced motocross, gets haircuts every 2 weeks and will openly share his love for Star Wars.

Judd is another health, fitness and performance master! He’s got all the tools in the shed, with years of experience as an Exercise Physiologist, a passion for strength & conditioning and is completing his Master’s in Physiotherapy. 

Our “boy from the East” is also a man of many physical talents. He’s played high level football (soccer), competes in weightlifting and won’t shy away from flexing his gymnastics skills.

We can always rely on Judd’s soothing voice to bring the PP Squad back to life after a huge Saturday Sweat sesh!

Louis is an entertainer at heart, bringing the perfect combination of play and professionalism to every session at at PP. He stepped straight from his Personal Training course in to Performance Playground as a member, before undertaking our internship program… the rest is history!

After teaching himself calisthenics and using these skills to compete in Australian Ninja Warrior, Louis is now able to help others achieve their impossible.

Laura is an obvious high achiever! With years of experience competing as a gymnast, coaching as a Sport Scientist and now studying Exercise Physiology, it’s hard to believe she’s the youngest in our team.

Living by a “work hard, play hard” attitude means she’ll take on any challenge you give her, whether it be mastering new gymnastics skills, out-lifting the guys or competing a triathlon.

Prepare to be energised (even at 6am), pushed outside your comfort zone (at the right times) and guided towards achieving your gaols with Laura!
