Athletic Performance
Performance Training,
Built Properly.
Sport-specific strength, conditioning, and return-to-sport training in Bankstown, Sydney. For fighters, oz tag players, weekend warriors, and athletes who want progress without breakdown.
Are You Training, But Not Progressing?
You’ve been in the gym. You’ve followed programs off Instagram. You’ve worked with a PT.
But something’s off:
The problem isn’t effort. It’s structure.
Training for a sport is different to a regular session at the gym. You need a structured program that improves performance, reduces injury risk, and targets the specific physical demands of your sport.
Performance Training
Performance Isn’t About Training Harder.
It’s About Training Correctly.
Our rehab team brings together Accredited Exercise Physiologists (with Physiotherapy services coming soon) under one roof —
so your program is designed by clinicians who specialise in restoring strength, function, and capacity.
Clinical performance training is different from generic personal training in three ways:
That’s why our athletes get stronger, faster, and more durable — without breaking down on the way.
We treat the root cause, not just the symptoms.
The Chronic Gains Method
3 Simple Steps Built For Athletes
Most clinics treat symptoms. We rebuild how your body actually works.
Our structured 3-step training system is designed to create long-term results.
Assess Movement Patterns
Movement screen. Strength testing. Sport-specific demands analysis. Injury history mapping. We identify what’s limiting your performance — including the things you don’t feel yet.
Rebuild Movement & Function
Targeted strength, mobility, and movement quality work. We close the gaps before we add intensity. Built around your training schedule and competition calendar.
Structured Rehab & Performance Plan
Sport-specific conditioning, focusing on power, speed, agility, and capacity work. Structured so that you peak when it matters and when you need it — not in week three.

Interviews With Clients

Injured my hip & groin, Doctors said to wait it out for 7+ weeks and prescribed pain meds however meds only help mask the pain. These guys did an in-depth assessment and developed a personalised rehab program. Saw major improvements in range of motion on the first visitation. Went from struggling to get out of bed and returning to combat sports in 4 weeks. Now feeling stronger than I was prior to injury.
I have been seeing An at Chronic Gains to help improve my thoracic and shoulder mobility. With An I had someone to guide me specifically on what I needed to do for my conditions and also provide accountability. Not only that, he was able to identify other areas for improvement which has been a real eye opener in terms of the difference between someone who provides a generic type of treatment vs a completely personalised one.
After about 4 months of physio [for shoulder and neck pain]… I tried to go back to the gym but I just felt as though something was not right. After that first session [at Chronic Gains] it was the most mind-blowing thing… finally feeling the right muscles engage. Having that ability where you are pain free… and being able to engage in your daily life without it being so detrimental.
