Illawarra Athletic

We love coming to Illawarra Athletic! I was looking for a gym I could go to with my three boys aged 23, 16 and 14. I am studying fitness myself and wanted something challenging for all of us yet fun so the boys kept motivated. I was hesitant at first as I thought I was not fit enough to try the CrossFit style of training. From the moment I walked into the gym I felt welcome. We were encouraged and challenged not only by the trainers but also other members of the gym. I have brought another family along with me and we all work out together challenging and inspiring each other in a friendly, inclusive and fun environment. There are so many different levels of fitness amongst the members which I find encouraging as I can give inspiration and also receive it and no matter the level of fitness we all are completely wrecked at the end of a workout!! Illawarra Athletic offer different levels of training to suit everybody and I would highly recommend giving them a try whatever your level of fitness or experience. Phili and Josh are highly experienced and knowledgeable and breakdown all forms of movement so you can learn the exercises safely and progress well to maximise strength and fitness without injury. We absolutely love coming to Illawarra Athletic. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to have fun while getting fit!

Fantastic coaches who take a real interest in their members and support and encourage us to challenge ourselves beyond our own expectations!!

Fantastic and supportive atmosphere in the gym. Motivating and knowledgeable coaches who take a really personable approach to each individual to help achieve your goals!

Illawarra Athletic is a fantastic gym. I thought I would be a fish out of water having never attended a gym before but everyone there is just so friendly and supportive that you feel right at home straight away. Josh and Phili’s expertise and dedication is outstanding and they encourage and inspire every individual that attends regardless of age or ability. They have programs for all levels of fitness, I have been doing the balance program for some months now and it has been hugely beneficial to me.Thanks so much Josh and Phili.Scott Hewison.

Josh and Philli changed my life. I wasn't fit, or strong or healthy when I first met them. I didn't know what my body was capable of and how much it was being neglected. IA's method is scientific and carefully planned. They taught me how to move correctly to prevent injuries, get more power and use less energy. If you've never gone to a gym in your life or if you're an elite athlete, try them out. You'll be amazed at how much better you can be...

Illawarra Athletic is great! I love the warm friendly atmosphere from when you first step into their gym. I find that they are very welcoming and pass no judgement on size or ability. They are always encouraging everyone to do their best. Their knowledge of movement and technique is vast and quite precise and they are always making sure correct techniques are being used.

Trained with Josh & Phili is Sydney. Super knowledgable and they'll both motivate you to work hard. Great fun.

Sydney's lose is Illawarra's gain. Totally fantastic people and totally fantastic gym. Prepare to bring the pain.
