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 in studio, LIVE streaming 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.

THE AGOGIAN WAY

I’ve been with Agoga for 9 months now and they are hands down the best gym going around. I thought I was reasonably fit when I joined them but John and his Team always push you past that point that you thought was your limit and I’ve seen huge improvements I didn’t expect. They are supportive, full of energy and determined to make sure you walk out fitter, leaner and faster than when you walked in. Their classes sizes are great for personal attention and the bonus is that they change up their sessions every 2 weeks so there is always lots of variety!

Great fitness studio, outside of the ordinary HIIT classes. There is a variety of quality classes to choose for and they always do what they promise, get you energized and feel better!

When I moved to the Eastern Suburbs, I literally did trials at every boutique gym in Bondi and surrounding areas. AGOGA was the one gym that made me feel most welcome, comfortable and part of the family from day one. This is important to me as I love gyms with community vibes. The coaches are also on another level with the amount of energy, care and enthusiasm they bring to every single session - it amazes me. They are so involved in every session and help you with correcting form and motivating you along the way. I love their programming and the way the classes are set out through the week - a great variety of everything you need - all in one place. Cannot recommend Agoga highly enough 🙂

Agoga is a brilliantly run boutique gym in South Bondi. I moved to the area ten months ago and was looking for an instructor-led programme to improve my strength and overall fitness. I should say I am in my early 50s and was carrying a bit of excess weight; definitely not your typical lycra-clad-beach-body-fit Bondi inhabitant. Agoga was super-welcoming and being a newbie was not in the least bit intimidating. The instructors are excellent and take real care (online as well as in the gym) to watch how you work out and offer corrections to your technique. I’m so much fitter and healthier as a result, with no injuries, and I’ve learnt a huge amount about good training technique in the process. The Agoga community and our online events has been a real plus during the Covid lockdown. Even if you aren’t living in the Sydney Eastern suburbs, do give it a try online. You’ll work out just as hard as you would in a physical gym. Highly recommended.

Trainers are fantastic, motivating and unlike a lot of other group training places, keep a keen eye on form and technique making sure you get the best out of every workout. It’s certainly challenging but you’ll feel great afterwards!
