Coach

Jack Lane-Brownsword

Jack has been a qualified personal trainer since 2017, bringing a deep well of experience from both the gym floor and the world of professional sport. After earning his Sports Science degree from the University of Surrey, Jack went on to work as a sports scientist at AFC Wimbledon, helping elite footballers fine-tune their performance and recover smarter.

Coach

Jack Woodard

Jack brings an elite sporting mindset to his coaching, shaped by academy-level football where discipline, structure, and consistency were the standard. That high-performance foundation informs how he trains, prepares, and shows up – especially when motivation dips.

Grounded in strength training, Jack believes real progress comes from repeatable habits, intelligent programming, and doing the basics exceptionally well.

More recently, he’s moved into the hybrid space, competing in multiple HYROX events across mixed and solo divisions – reinforcing a simple truth: preparation matters and consistency wins.

Now based in Bondi, Jack loves working with everyday athletes who want to train with intent, build real-world strength, and feel capable in their bodies.

Experienced. Approachable. Quietly competitive.

Jack’s here to help you train smarter, stay consistent, and enjoy the process.
