Formidable Strength & Conditioning

The FSC team have definitely built an amazing program with an amazing group of people which made all the sessions that much more enjoyable. Even though swimming is very much an individual sport it always felt like we were part team. Would highly recommend this program for any level of swimmers looking to improve!

Ryan and Mel have been marvellous in constructing a gym and swim program. Their programs have been set at the right level at targeting my weak areas and their verbally input has offered me valuable encouragement to get on with it and I am slowly improving which is what I need at this stage. Tremendous team.

Great swimming club, capable coaches catering for all levels, adults with no prior experience as my self, and elites swimmers.
They also provide an excellent swimming environment for kids. My son has been attending for a month now and loves it, and has seen in this short time great improvements.
Recommended big time

I have been a part of the swimming program for 12 months now with some incredible results in the pool at Masters Nationals in April 2023. My program helps me works around existing injuries and takes into account my age and abilities. Everything is scaled for the individual but remains a challenge.
Earlier this year a lower back injury put me out of action for a few weeks. On my return to the gym, I had a goal of completing some gorge hikes in Karijini while on holiday. My confidence was low and I was scared of re-injuring myself. Not only did Ryan work with me on my return to the gym in a gentle, progressive way, recognising my fear and helping me through it, he completely turned my program around from a swim focus to a hiking focus. This was to strengthen my legs and back for those tough Grade 5 hikes! I am pleased to say that post injury and 4 weeks of focused work in the gym prior to Karijini had me scaling those grade 5 gorges like I never thought I could. On my return, my confidence is back and Im back on my swimming program. The care, patience, progressive overload and gentle push was key to my return to full function. Thanks to Ryan and his team.

Ryan runs and incredible program and has built a team of exceptional coaches and has developed a strong and inclusive environment of athletes to achieve their goals and beyond

I've previously struggled with motivating myself to head to the gym and complete a session. Ryan's approach to ensuring you always have a dedicated coach assisting you in every step of your program is invaluable.
The improvements I've noticed in carrying out a dedicated and specific swim strength & mobility program for only a few weeks has given me the confidence to push ahead with big swim goals for the year.
Loving the new program and guidance from Ryan.

Being new to the Swimming Strong program I wasn’t really sure what to expect but I am absolutely loving it!

I am finding the program to be extensive & covers every element of what I have been looking for from the structure of the training, both pool & dry land, through to the management of what my body is needing. I feel far more confident in achieving my goals than I did before joining & couldn’t imagine not doing it. I have absolutely no regrets!

I’ve been with Ryan part of the swimming strength and performance program for over 5 years. He’s helped maintain my strength and conditioning as well as creating a supportive environment to support the mental side of life and swimming! Ryan goes above and beyond to help out the person and the athlete!

I'm thoroughly enjoying the FSC swim/gym program and seeing improvements in my strength and fitness.

Ryan and the FSC crew provide a super friendly training environment, with a structured program that is specific for you. They are there to guide you through the group gym sessions and check in on you on a weekly basis, which I really appreciate. Highly recommended.

I joined FSC in 2018 because I was training to make the Australian underwater hockey team and needed a strength & conditioning coach to help me with injuries, strength and also guidance. Working with Ryan was great - I learnt proper form, recovery techniques, load building and knew he always had my back. The team at FSC know their stuff and can help both athletes (from all sports) and people who are keen to be their best, healthiest and fittest version of themselves.

Ryan and FSC team have been running the gym sessions for the Perth City Swim Club HIIT squad, my son (14) loves the program and the tailored training to help his swimming. My daughter (16) enjoys the AdultFit squad which FSC took over recently, great for overall fitness to help support her footie training. In addition to focussed age-appropriate training for growing bodies, the FSC folks are great role models and mentors for these young adults. Great to see FSC become Training Provider for PCSC, keep up the great work!

The FSC team have done a brilliant job creating a fantastic work out environment that makes going to the gym easy. Their focus on your well-being and preventing injuries makes you feel assured that you will achieve your goals in a safe and supportive environment. I cannot recommend FSC enough regardless of your current level of fitness or goals.

My son has been enjoying the training sessions & says he is feeling stronger in the water as well.

The mix of onsite & online classes makes the program perfect to fit into school/sports/family activities.

Ryan & his team are brilliant! Highly recommend :-)

FSC has been amazing over the few months I have been there. I joined because of the injury rehab program, after a torn ACL and meniscus. I was a couple of months post surgery, and needed to start progressing and overall strengthening everything that had been weakened. The program has been great, focusing on fundamentals and slowing building weight, the more confident I am with the exercises and just generally how the knee was feeling. The program has been at a good pace, without overloading too much, especially in the early stages. I would highly recommend FSC if you are an athlete or someone who is just wanting to recover from an injury.

Awesome small gym with a very friendly team.
I've seen a noticeable improvement in my on field performance since I joined. The trainers are knowledgeable and develop a personalised workout plan that targets the specific muscles and movements required.

Great coaching team who continually encourage and motivate the younger age swimmers. Great job everyone!

We have just moved to the club from another club. The transition has been seemless. The communication is brillant from the trial, to enrolment, transferring to the coach been approachable. The parents have been so helpful and kind. Thank you to you all we are forever grateful 🙏

I joined FSC looking to get back into training and develop a solid gym routine. The team at FSC has gone above and beyond in making me feel motivated and apart of a community of strong, likeminded people. My training includes a personalised program, coach support, nutrition and injury rehab - 100000% value for money. Cannot recommend this place enough for both athletes and those looking to fall in love with the gym. Thank you FSC ❤

After putting up with a bad shoulder for probably 6 months and not being a 'gym guy' of any sort, I decided to give the FSC Rehab Program at Wembley a go. The team tested my strength and mobility, then designed a program based on the shoulder. Within a month, the program resulted in less pain, more overall flexibility and confidence to undertake movements that I'd previously cringed at. Coming from someone who historically just rides the pain out in hope, I have to give credit to the FSC team for changing my outlook. Cheers, Dan

Gym work is essential, especially if you are getting older and want to continue swimming forever. Formidable is making this possible for me. At the assessment, FormidableSC picked up problem areas with the latest technology and experienced physio geeks. A personalised program has been created for me to work around old injuries to become stronger. I always feel well looked after with a coach always there while I'm training with professional and endless advice. FSC is not only for the young but definitely for the old with big goals - Rotto Solo here I come again, thanks, Ryan, Simon & co.
