I joined with SXD online as I had plateaued in my running goals. It took only 8 weeks of working with Joel to smash my 5km PB by almost a minute which hadn’t been touched in over a year. If you’re looking to be coached and train like a professional athlete look no further! As an added benefit my lower back and achilles pain is no longer a part of my daily life.

Started with the boys late last year and ever since then I’ve seen results on results, muscles become more developed movement become better. With this came a better less stiff footy season even when I had injury we worked through them. Such a great team and community, welcoming me in as a young kid really great place 10/10.

Can’t recommend these guys enough. Got an ad offering free athletic testing and thought it was too good to be true but nope it was exactly as advertised and far exceeded my expectations. Both training at the gym with Joel and doing footy skill sessions on the weekend with coach Hamilton had me more fit, healthy and prepared than i’d ever been for the upcoming season and I loved every minute of it. I then unfortunately suffered an unlucky season ending injury before the season even started so Joel immediately adapted my training and motivated me to keep working and improving despite my circumstances and i’m so grateful for that because i’ve already made massive progress in my recovery way faster than expected while also getting stronger everywhere else at the same time. Overall, just an unbelievably good group of people with great vibes that make it a really fun and enjoyable environment to train in, as well as world class coaching both in the gym and on the field. Again, could not recommend enough. 10/5 stars

I booked in to see Joel at SXD 12 weeks ago with a really bad back that was causing me extremely bad pain. I had just had a week off work, couldn’t back squat, rdl or bend down to pick something up off the ground. I’ve been Working closing with Joel 1:1 twice a week and it has been a blessing in disguise. I’m now back playing footy, feeling really strong, pain free and most importantly I’m mentally happier than I’ve ever been. Joel would ring and message me weekly on top of my session to check in on my body and health, he changes my program regularly to suit what’s best for me outside of his gym. If you find yourself in any distress or discomfort, in the gym or at work, with your body or mentally fatigued I highly recommend booking into see Joel to get back on track. Joels attention to detail in explaining excersises and his care factor is first class, he’s worked hard on making me feel confident and have better form so I can complete the correct perfect rep every single time. 5 stars out of 5 for Joely.

Working with Joel was a treat, not only a great bloke but was amazing at programing my workouts for what I needed and wanted to improve on. I ended up in a two month span more then doubling my strength in certain areas. The culture was also great which made it such a welcoming place to workout. Would definitely recomend!!

Great sessions with Jeol. He’s very flexible with his time and able to accommodate sessions based on my shift work schedule. He’s very good in responding to and questions I have and able to adjust my gym plan based on current goals and gym consistencies. I could see growth annd improvement overtime! Highly recommend!!

Can’t recommend stronger by design enough. Since beginning there my motivation levels have gone through the roof and I’ve kicked many goals. All round great guy who is easy to approach/talk to about the gym or just life in general. Knowledge is second to none.

I had the privilege of training with Joel at Stronger By Design (SXD) - Training & Performance, and I can't express how thrilled I am with the results I achieved. Joel is very knowledgable, and his science-led approach to fitness was impressive. Joel's knowledge and expertise in personal training are unparalleled. He took the time to understand my fitness goals, tailored a program specifically for me, and provided invaluable guidance every step of the way - even providing detailed programs for when I couldn't make it into the gym. One of the things I appreciated most about Joel's training style is the wide array of exercises he incorporates into each workout. His workouts are not only challenging but also enjoyable, which is a testament to his ability to make fitness fun. Thanks to Joel's guidance and support, I achieved my peak fitness level in the last 12 years. It's not just about physical changes; Joel has also helped me build a strong foundation of knowledge about my body and how to maintain my fitness long-term. Highly Recommended!
