Play Performance - Athlete Performance Facility

Fantastic experience: The team at play performance helped me during my offseason break to ensure I returned to preseason training fit and healthy. Through their individualised program I was able to target specific areas I needed to improve, which was highlighted through their extensive testing process. This gave me a really clear understanding of where I was strong, and what needed more work and attention. This also provided me with a clear set of measurable goals and data to look back to and compare with throughout my training to ensure I was on track and making progress. The 1-1 coaching provided also ensured I was completing the exercises correctly and with the intent required to see improvement. The coaches at play performance are knowledgeable and organised, and always available to answer questions and provide feedback. The facilities at play performance cater to all sports and different methods of training, and the wide range of recovery equipment available allowed me to recharge between sessions to ensure I was at my best each training day. If you’re looking to make real change during your offseason and work on making improvements specific to you as an athlete, Play Performance is the only place to go.

Fantastic experience: Been at play performance since the day that they opened. Braden and the team have been amazing in helping me hit my ultra marathon goals. Highly recommend whether you have a young up and coming athlete on your hands or are looking to hit some personal goals.

Fantastic experience: Great service. Easy to communicate with all the processing of paper work especially when your terrible at that sort of thing. I have now gotten a second car from them. Cheers.

Fantastic experience: We've had an incredible experience with Braden, Justin, and the Play Performance team over the past three years. My son, a swimmer, surf lifesaver, and water polo player, has been part of their athlete performance program since he was 12. The team worked on his strength and conditioning, focusing on core and legs, with a customized six-week program that was tested and adjusted. When my son required shoulder surgery (labrum tear) in January 2024 due to a water polo injury, the Play Performance coaches collaborated closely with myself, doctors, the Play Performance physio and my son’s swim coaches to ensure a smooth recovery. He was back at the gym two weeks post-surgery, working on his legs and non-injured arm, all under the rehabilitation program. This was great for my son’s mental health and rehabilitation. Nine months later, he's back in the pool with equal strength in both shoulders. The Play Performance team are true experts in athlete development, tailoring their programs, teaching proper techniques, and creating a positive, supportive environment. We couldn’t be happier with the results.

Fantastic experience: If you’re a high performance athlete or want to train like one, skip the Cert iii and iv personal trainers and come straight here. Braden and his team work to improve your weaknesses and imbalances with a holistic approach to strength and conditioning. Time to not only work hard but work smart and have some fun while you’re at it.

Fantastic experience: A great gym with an extremely knowledgeable team. The testing methods used were thorough and had a very enjoyable experience. Thanks Braden and Justin.

Fantastic experience: Awesome space and people!

Fantastic experience: Coaches are amazing. Such a great space & feeling when you walk in.

Fantastic experience: To be honest I never liked going to the gym until now!

Fantastic experience: Justin is one of the most dedicated coaches that I’ve ever had the pleasure to be coached by. He is extremely motivating and is always pushing you to go above and beyond your expectations!

Fantastic experience: Justin is an absolute legend - epic energy and very welcoming!! He tailors training programs to the individual to get the best out of all people no matter what strength or fitness level you are at! I love his holistic view to health, fitness and performance - he provides advice not only on training but also recovery and nutrition. PLUS The new gym, Play Performance is SICK! Definitely check it out!

Fantastic experience: Coach Justin is extremely knowledgeable and an all rounder! Having Justin as a coach is a mix of fun workouts but always making sure my technique was on point. I learnt so much and he makes the gym environment extremely welcoming and different everyday! A great coach and makes you want to workout and feel good :)

Fantastic experience: Amazing coaching skills! So much knowledge and nurturing. From beginner to advanced Justin is there every step of the way guiding you and ensuring you get the best results. I highly recommend and thank him for my skills I now use everyday.

Fantastic experience: Justin is a great coach, and helped me through my pre-season. Would recommend training with him any day of the week.

Fantastic experience: Braden Woods is one of the best trainers anyone could ask for! The guy knows his stuff Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I had the absolute joy of training with Braden at a gym in the inner west for several years. I was terrified to be consulting a personal trainer but determined to give it a go and Braden came at the recommendation of a mutual acquaintance. After training with Braden for years, I was more confident, stronger, a lot fitter, 15kg lighter, but most of all, I felt great. He is the best trainer I’ve ever had. He knows exactly how hard to push you, he’s understanding and kind when you’re tired, but also makes sure you leave every session feeling heaps better than when you started. If I lived on the northern beaches, I’d be back there so fast you could blink and miss it.

Fantastic experience: Justin has been my trainer for just over 1 year now and he has completely changed my life! He created a personalised program for me and has taken my fitness to the next level. Being a soccer player I was looking for a way to strengthen my lower body and move away from constant injuries. Not only has he helped me with my fitness he has also taught me so much about nutrition and the foods I should and shouldn't eat. I couldn't recommend anyone better than Justin and the other trainers at Play Performance. They treat you family and always check on how you are going with your training. Whether you are looking for team or individual training, look no further than Play performance - you wont regret it!!

Fantastic experience: I trained with Braden Woods three time a week for three years. His passion for fitness, professionalism, dedication to personal training and expertise in personal training meant that I was able to achieve my goals. I would not hesitate to recommend Braden. Five stars!

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of meeting Braden while doing our Masters together at ECU. He’s a brilliant coach and someone this industry is lucky to have. Huge recommendations for athletes to check out this new business, you’ll be in great hands. Can’t wait to come check out the space.

Fantastic experience: As a recreational athlete I have had the good fortune of training under Justin’s stewardship for a number of years - both in an group training setting as well as with personalized programs in the lead up to competitions. As a coach Justin bleeds passion and enthusiasm for the success of his clients but never let’s this hinder his judgement on training load or design. Justin’s ability to understand and accommodate your needs while also not letting you depart from reality make him an asset to anyones training journey.

Fantastic experience: Justin and Braden helped me throughout 2021 with my fitness and strength to make sure I’m ready for my season. Hopefully I can train with them again this year.
