Meet Our Team

Meet Mark 

Owner & Head Coach

Mark’s involvement in Strength and Conditioning as an athlete and a coach has spanned over 25 years. He trained in a National Level performance program with a specifically tailored strength and conditioning program in his early teens, which quickly helped him realise how effective progressive strength training can be, not only in making you strong but also in improving your overall health, mental wellbeing and a positive lifestyle. 

Having always been competitive and participated in a variety of sports at a high-performance level, it is no surprise Mark quickly turned towards the sport of powerlifting. Mark coaches and competes in powerlifting under the Australian Powerlifting Alliance as part of the International Powerlifting Federation. As a coach, he has trained powerlifters from compete novices to the elite level.  

However, his experience does not end there. Mark has over 15 years combined of martial arts training and instructing, been coached by some of the best trainers in the country, as well as having coaching experience across a number of different sporting disciplines.  

Mark prides himself on the ability to make you stronger, improve your body composition and enhance your athletic performance on and off the platform. He strongly believes that creating the best possible training atmosphere is key to promoting growth and development and helping you to achieve your strength and performance goals. 

Meet Lee-Ann

Owner & Manager

Lee-Ann was a competitive swimmer, triathlete and archer before she switched her focus to powerlifting. She began weight training in 2017 with the intention to lose weight and improve her body composition. Naturally, she soon realised that reducing the number on the scale was not as fulfilling as increasing the weight on the bar, and her focus quickly shifted to improving her strength. Lee-Ann is a National level powerlifter podiuming at each National Championships she has competed in.

Lee-Ann is a VIT registered teacher and has worked as an Assistant Principal, Student Wellbeing Coordinator and Learning Specialist. She also works as an Education Consultant with the Department of Education, NGV and VicTESOL.
