Phil transitioned from a corporate background into coaching, driven by a desire to make strength training accessible for people of all ages—particularly older adults. With firsthand understanding of the challenges that come with ageing, such as reduced mobility, muscle loss, and balance issues, Phil applies evidence-based strength principles to improve physical function and confidence.

Since 2011, he’s been coaching clients with a focus on safety, consistency, and sustainable progress. His sessions are structured, supportive, and designed to help individuals take ownership of their movement—especially those new to strength training.

Phil’s coaching is calm, methodical, and grounded in practical outcomes. His focus is on helping clients move better, build strength, and maintain independence as they age.

His philosophy: You possess more strength than you realise.

Testimonials

“I have been attending strength training sessions with Phil, and very satisfied with the experience.”

Phil is knowledgeable about the specific needs of older adults, paying attention to safety without compromising on the challenge. The gym is clean, well equipped and has a great atmosphere. Highly recommend for seniors looking for strength training programs.

“He motivates us to take small, manageable steps to build our confidence, then pushes us a little harder when he knows we’re ready for more.”

Phil has been our corporate class trainer for the past year, and I really enjoy his sessions. He’s incredibly encouraging and attentive, even in a group setting. Phil has a talent for spotting our individual weak points and incorporating exercises that target those smaller, often overlooked muscles. A year ago, I couldn’t do a single push-up, but now I can even see my arm is getting stronger. After each session, I feel both refreshed and happily sore!
