Top Coach

Personal group training sounds like a contradiction, but Chris, Leisa, Brooke and Jonas make it work. They bring a wonderful level of professionalism, expertise and caring attitude to the sessions. The sessions themselves are well thought out, varied, and complimentary, and are held at times that make them accessible to many participants. The coaches have amazing memories and are aware of the personal goals of the members of each class, and do all they can to help the individuals to achieve their aims.
Added to all this is the ‘ family ‘ feeling amongst fellow members, which helps to make the hard work even more enjoyable.

Chris, Leisa and all the team at Top Coach are absolutely amazing. After just starting back from a very extended break from any type of exercise, the Top Coach team have helped me to build up my strength and fitness in a safe and fun environment. In a relatively short amount of time, I feel fitter, stronger and much happier! Top Coach provide a super friendly and personalised service and I would highly recommend them to anyone!!

I have been going to Top Coach for a long time. Chris & Leisa are always
keeping an eye on everybody's fitness. Whenever you have a problem or an injury, they will always give you different exercises to do.
Top Coach has really helped me in my fitness and I am fitter and healthier.

I can't praise & thank Top Coach....Chris & Leisa enough. From day one they welcomed me with every kindness & encouragement. They have been the BEST working with me in getting me fit & strong. The time they spend with every one us explaining the right way to do every exercise correctly to our advantage is absolutely amazing. They show great passion, care & encouragement to everyone of us, everyday in every season. I tell all my friends about Top Coach & my family are amazed. . THANK YOU Very Much TOP COACH. ...you are the best...Lyn Hyland

Before I went to Top Coach I was in serious pain and considering surgery for my back after trying everything. Within months I was pain free and have continued to improve since. If you have the motivation to turn up it's worth exploring to improve weakness and get strong.

Before I started training with Leisa and Chris I was recovering from a bulging disc injury in my lower back due to overtraining and competing in track and field events (100m, 200m) and surf life saving events. When I was able to start my sprint training again I continued to experienced lower back pain that stopped me from running at my best, a few times I had to stop my sessions completely.

Feeling hopeless and frustrated I thought the pain would never go away until I started training with Leisa and Chris. Their knowledge, expertise and encouragement has allowed me to experience a significant decrease in the level of lower back pain that has been prevalent for so long. Now I am smashing out each sprint and seeing great improvements in my training. Leisa and Chris understand how important injury prevention is, not only to athletes but to all individuals. And I am so grateful they have been able to reduce my imbalances that have caused the back pain.

Thank you so much Leisa and Chris.

As a visitor to the area over the Christmas period I was looking for a gym to sign up to for a short 5 week period. Leisa, Chris and the team were accommodating of this and made me feel extremely welcome and part of the community from the get go.

Having attended numerous group gym classes in other locations over the years, I can honestly say that nothing compares to that of what Chris, Leisa, Brooke and Jones deliver! The huge array of workouts available on a daily basis provide a sense of variety, added with the off-base locations around the Port Stephens area will always keep you coming back for more.

The trainers are not only extremely encouraging and motivational however they also have the knowledge to help you focus on your technique and prevent future injury. They have a genuine interest in your health, fitness and constant improvement no matter the length of time you are in town!

I would highly recommend Top Coach as a place to train and am sad I only have a few sessions left with them before I head home inter-state.

Top Coach is a local fitness centre ran by Locals Chris and Leisa. They run over 40 training sessions every week the week, both in the morning and evening the evening - closing on only Christmas day!
The sessions are run in the very well equipped studio at Taylors beach as well as outdoors in the awesome places around Port Stephens (Sand dune running anyone?)

Despite it being group sessions, the coaches are always there and eager to give out very personalised advice, catering to your specific needs. Without this specific coaching I would not be where I am now.

The sessions are always very fun and varied. It’s this unique mix of classes that cater for all people of all fitness levels that make Top Coach stand out from the rest. What you have at Top Coach are four unique coaches who coach in their different ways, bringing with it a broad spectrum of knowledge. They are in it for the passion and it shows.

With the people that go, there are no ego’s, and no mirrors. Everybody of all fitness levels are made to feel welcome. If you are doing something wrong you will get corrected, if you are doing it right you will get a pat on the back. The encouragement is always there, and even though it is group classes they are very personalised no matter how busy it may be.”

If you want a LOCAL fitness centre, run by LOCALS for the LOCALS then look no further than TOP COACH!

Absolutely love going to top coach, (never thought I’d be one to say that about any gym) .... such a fantastic team to train with, no judgement ever! don’t have to think about what to do when i get there, it’s all set up and ready to go with lots of variety! Trainers are fantastic & they cater for all levels of fitness and abilities! Best way to start the day!

I love the variety of sessions that Top Coach run. There is something suitable for everyone and session times that suit people who start work early. Training outdoors in summer is also great. Leisa and Chris have energy to burn and are lots of fun.

I’ve been going gyms for thirty years and had become a bit disillusioned - sessions and times that never change, trainers that stand on a platform in front of a class and provide little guidance, etc. But I’ve now found my fitness “home” with TopCoach. I love the variety of sessions and times which enable me fit a full fitness program around other commitments. Chris, Leisa, Brook and Jonas are always encouraging and pushing me to out in that extra effort. It’s paying off - in the 12 months since I’ve been going, my Parkrun time has come down two and a half minutes and I’ve done a pb - after trying for five years! I also think I’ve found some muscles I didn’t know I had. The other great things about TopCoach are that the trainers always watch you with eagle eyes to make sure your technique is spot on, and everyone who goes to the sessions is so friendly and it’s a great mix of ages and abilities.

Leisa, Chris and their team are phenomenal. They are passionate, knowledgable and there is a great sense of community at their classes, with members who clearly get a lot out of it. As a guest for a couple of sessions they went out of their way to accommodate me and made me feel right at home. Highly recommend.

I have been with Top Coach for some time; I would strongly recommend that you at least give them a go, you won't regret it.

Great facility, equipment and variety of training, with knowledgeable, professional and friendly trainers
