Coaching that meets you where you are, and moves you forward
Resilience
Train for more than the perfect lift or the perfect race.
Resilience is built through setbacks, plateaus, and comebacks. Whether you’re returning from injury or navigating life’s chaos, your coaching is built to help you rise again—stronger and more capable every time.
Performance
Every program is designed to move you forward.
Whether that’s lifting heavier, running faster, or recovering smarter, performance is the throughline. You’re not here for “fitspo.” You’re here for real progress, grounded in data, experience, and intent.
Purpose
Don’t train to just get tired — Train to get better.
Your training has meaning. It reflects your identity, your goals, and your discipline. I help you clarify the why behind the work, and stay aligned with what matters most to you—on and off the platform, field, or track.
Founder | Australian Powerlifting Record Holder | Hybrid Athlete | Physiotherapy Student
I’m Sam — Head Coach at Pursuit Performance Club and a lifelong believer in what strength can do for your mind and body.
With 10+ years of experience coaching athletes around the world, I’ve seen how the right training can change lives. I hold the current APL Australian bench press record in the U125kg class (205.5kg), and I’ve competed at the highest national level in powerlifting.
But I’m also a runner, a student physio, and a coach who understands what it’s like to come back from setbacks. I’ve helped people go from injured to invincible, from underconfident to unshakable.
Outside the gym? I’m probably watching Lord of the Rings, listening to Gang of Youths, or hanging out with my wife and two very spoiled cats.
If you’re ready to train hard, have fun, and pursue what you’re really capable of—you’re in the right place.
