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.
Whether it’s small Group Fitness classes, one-to-one Personal Coaching, an Open Gym session we’ve got you covered.
Our training ethos is simple. We Train Like Athletes.
✅ Exercise
✅ Measurement & Evaluation
✅ Nutrition
✅ Injury Prevention
✅ Rest & Recovery

Coach
EMILY ROGERS
Emily is known as AGOGA’s Hybrid Trainer because she’s got it all! Her early career as a professional dancer evolved when she moved to Australia and immersed herself in the study of fitness and yoga.
From her graceful movement and dynamic speed to her incredible strength and mobility, Emily is a veteran Bondi trainer who’s constantly exploring how to train the body to move more efficiently and enhance overall wellbeing.
She has a wealth of knowledge in many disciplines and more recently has furthered her knowledge in pre and postnatal strength training, pilates and yoga. Since birthing her own baby girl in May 2023, her passion for women’s health and the changes that occur in a pregnant and postpartum woman’s body has grown making this a focus of her work and continued studies.

Coach
WILL BORDILL
An ex-pro Rugby player who joins us from the UK, Will has a passion for strength training and functional fitness.
