You've been doing the work.
The missing variable is the right attention.
Most online coaching is a plan in a folder. You pay, you get access, and nobody's actually watching whether it's working.
Cohorts came from wanting to help more people without turning into that.
Ten clients. One goal category. One coach who knows your name, your current training week, and whether last week was a good one or a rough one. Close enough to catch things. Structured enough to be consistent.
Your program is built for your specific goal. You check in every week. The group keeps the standard honest. Results get measured, so there's no guessing about whether any of it is working.
Good coaches keep finding us. We must be doing something right.

"One of the best gym's and coaching staff I've had the pleasure of training with. They are there for you every step of the way and take a flexible approach to coaching that allows you to reach your goals while also taking into consideration that you're a human and not everything is linear."
"As of today I'm nearly 20kg down, have less recurring issues from my old injuries and am feeling stronger & healthier than I have in years. My coach Ryan has a deep understanding of my sport and has been able to modify sessions around any niggly issues. Best advice I've taken."
"There's not a single gym like this one. Alex, Max, Ryan, and Chaylah are some of the best coaches and most genuine people to be around. I started at 115kg with a busted shoulder and now 10 months later I've lost 7kg and I'm stronger than ever before."
"Best gym I've ever been to. The people are amazing and the equipment is second to none. It's not just for elite lifters either — everyone is encouraging regardless of whether you're a beginner or advanced. Very knowledgeable and highly recommended."

Zoom check-in. Wins reviewed. Questions answered in the group, coached conversationally. The accountability is built into the structure — it's not optional.

Book a ConsultTwo ways in.
No lock-in. No hidden extras. Free holds. Seven days notice to change your coaching tier — 28 days for membership cancellation.
Most online coaches in Brisbane charge $100–200/week for a program and a few check-in messages. Some charge more. Our cohort coaching starts at $70/week — goal-specific programming, live weekly accountability, and a group that holds the standard. That's not a discount. It's a different model built to get better results per dollar spent.

Straight answers.
What does 10:1 actually mean?
Each coach works with a maximum of 10 clients per cohort. You're not in a 200-person Facebook group watching a pre-recorded video and calling it coaching. You're in a group small enough that your coach knows your name, your goal, and your current week of training.
Is this the same as 1:1 coaching?
No. Cohort coaching is group-based — up to 10 clients per coach per goal category. If you need full individual attention and a personalised weekly check-in, our 1:1 coaching offer is the right fit. Raise it during the consult — we'll tell you honestly which one suits your situation.
What if I can't make the weekly Zoom?
Every session is summarised and reposted. You won't fall behind because of a schedule clash — but consistent attendance is where the accountability lives. Show up when you can.
Can I join if I don't live near the gym?
Yes. Cohort Only is fully remote — program in your app, check-ins on Zoom, group accessible wherever you are. We have clients across Southeast Queensland and beyond. Geography doesn't exclude you from the standard.
What if it's not the right fit after I start?
Seven days notice to change. If cohort coaching isn't the right level of support, we'll move you to something that is. No friction, no penalty.
What does the consult actually involve?
We listen before we talk. You'll walk us through your goal and your training history. We'll give you a program outline before a dollar changes hands — that's not a tactic, it's how we've operated since 2019. If it's not the right fit, we'll tell you that too.
You've already done the hard part.
Showing up consistently, year after year, and still not seeing the return — that's the most frustrating place to be. Let's fix the variable that's actually missing.
