“Mum, I want to join the gym!”
High school age students are signing up to the gym with limited knowledge, support or training to ensure it’s not only safe, but effective.
Whether your teen is:
✓ Playing team sports such as AFL, netball, soccer, rugby, basketball — at a club or school level.
✓ Participating in ballet, jazz, tap or acrobatics.
✓ Or, not into team sports and you just want them developing valuable life skills for good health.
The fundamentals of strength and conditioning that they will gain from our program, will help them perform and feel stronger and more confident as they navigate their teenage years!

Why LIFTWELL™?
EXPERT COACHING
Our program is designed by Master Strength & Conditioning Coach Naruhiro “Geish” Hori, who has trained international, national, and developmental athletes in various Olympic, Paralympic, and Commonwealth Games sports. Geish ensures our young athletes learn proper techniques to prevent injuries and enhance performance, setting them up for success.
AGE APPROPRIATE
Adolescence is marked by significant physical and mental demands, with growth-related pains such as Sinding Larsen Johannsson, Severs, and Osgood-Schlatters potentially hindering healthy activity. Proper management can minimise physical impacts, allowing adolescents to benefit from exercise in terms of hormonal balance, development, strength, and mood.
INJURY RECOVERY
Learning how to prevent and mange injuries appropriately is an important part of being an athlete. Understanding that there is more to being an athlete than just performance is a critical development skill. Mental health management and discussions around this time can help ensure safe and effective life skills and injury recovery practices are put in place.
