Coach

Will Bordill

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

Will’s Rugby career included two Junior World Cups with his native Scotland at U-20 level, a Pro12 Winners medal with Glasgow Warriors, and a wealth of knowledge about how elite athletes prepare and compete.

Aside from a love of strength training, Will also competes in Hyrox, winning the 2023 Sydney event in the Men’s Doubles U-30 category, and qualifying for the World Championships in 2024!

Now a Bondi local, Will is learning to surf (slowly) and has developed an unfortunate soft spot for almond croissants 🙂
