ABOUT AGOGA
pronunciation / AH-GO-JYAH /
Spartan word for the education and training regimen used to create “a class of warrior citizens” – strong of mind, unflinchingly loyal and physically unmatched.
Based in Sydney’s beautiful Bondi, AGOGA has been the Eastern Suburbs’ health, fitness and energy hub since 2012.
With a huge range of Small Group Training classes and one-to-one Personal Coaching on offer, we have a variety of workouts to suit you and your goals. Whether you want to run faster, gain strength, lose weight, increase mobility or just have adrenaline-pumping fun, our friendly team of highly experienced coaches will help you get there…
Each workout is based on the training methods of athletes, coaches and scientific strategies from around the world. Expect to do workouts from the diaries of people like Ellyse Perry, Tom Brady, Serena Williams or Buddy Franklin, just to name a few.
Our core principles of functional movement patterns and interval training are designed to create athletic and symmetrical bodies that are strong, lean and mobile. We are here to provide support and education to help you grow stronger both physically and mentally.
We have a ‘no ego’ policy and a supportive, nurturing environment that brings out the absolute best in our diverse community of members.
Your inner athlete is just waiting to emerge, we can’t wait to welcome you to your new favourite place to train.
