I'm deeply rooted in strength culture and the fitness industry. More than 25 years lifting weights. More than 20 years competing across combat sports and full-contact football. None of that is possible, especially in the condition I'm still in today, without lifting properly. Take that as a measure of what your coach is capable of.

I've always been competitive. While I was still playing under-18 state league baseball, I took my first coaching job: an under-14 state league team that had finished fifth the year before. We won the Victorian premiership in my first season coaching anything. That's when I realised I had a knack for it.

I believe every coach should have a coach. I have two. So I can't see why you wouldn't.

Wherever you start, you're on the same system my champions use. Methods built over 25 years that I can teach you in less than half the time, because I've spent those years chasing knowledge, upskilling, and making sure I'm always in the room with people smarter than me.

As a professional Muaythai fighter, Ive been working with Simon for a few months now and his knowledge and experience has really helped boost my game into a whole new level. Would recommend his work all day everyday 🔥

Amir RezaeiGoogle review

★★★★★

I cannot recommend Simon highly enough, as a professional athlete and coach myself I find it hard to trust coaches! however Simon has changed the game for me. Came to him injured and came out the other side overall stronger and more explosive in my training and Padwork, I'm so keen to see how this will transfer over into the ring as this is the strongest I've ever felt!!! worth the investment!

Simon is an amazing coach and responds super fast. His programs are concise, and compliment my Muay Thai training. My strength and gas tank have significantly improved in the last 6 weeks, and helped me prepare for my upcoming tournament. I highly recommend Simon for combat athletes/Muay Thai fighters!!

He's helped me heal from previous injuries and avoid new ones while training/competing in combat sports… managing your training load more efficiently so you don't keep cooking yourself like I was. Highly recommend.

Simon is excellent at what he does!! He is very educated and has helped me become a better fighter, stronger and more confident in the ring!

I've been training with Simon for almost 18 months now. When I started, I had injuries, mobility challenges and low energy. Now, I'm lifting weights I didn't think were possible in my 50s. But this is just the start. I'm nearing 200KG deadlift which will likely fall later this year. SASC has completely transformed my life. Thank you Simon!

This guy is the real deal, I've worked alongside Simon for the past 2 years doing all kinds of different work, from combat strength to injury rehab and now moving to a complete building block, he has been professional from start to finish. Always available for advice and tips any time of the day, and will help you not only execute the movement but help you understand the appropriate knowledge involved with the exercise. This guys been a top notch strength coach and mentor for me, couldn't recommend enough.

After working with Simon for just a few weeks I began feeling the progress and the benefits. My technique, knowledge, strength and overall confidence in the gym have all increased in such a short time. I highly highly recommend Simon to anyone that is looking to get in better shape, boost their sporting performance or recover from any injuries!

★★★★★

Been training online with Simon for about 2 years now and the process is app driven, when I need I just book to come see him. If I need. But the process is so easy I usually do only for the social side. Been a game changer strength and fitness wise. Couldn't recommend him higher

I avoided the need for surgery by working with this beast master himself. His passion was infectious and I mean when you go into something like this, you don't know what to expect, but Simon's focus on getting me to my goals fired me up to get the best out of me.

Simon has been an outstanding Muay Thai strength coach. He has helped me become stronger and more durable, tailoring our sessions to build resilience that directly translates into my training. He is highly knowledgeable, always available to answer questions, and consistently provides guidance both inside and outside of sessions.

The best in the game! Working with Simon has changed everything for me. 2 fight camps together and amazing results. It's just a matter of time before Simon becomes the number 1 SNC coach in combat sports! Not only professional but a great person with a big heart full of passion for sports and his craft. More than a coach he is also a brother and a friend I can trust.

Have been remote training under Simon for just over a year now and the results in this time have been life changing. … In my time with him I've lost weight and gained muscle (lost almost 20kg in bodyfat), improved my mental health and even started to work towards becoming a PT myself. … Simon WILL change your life too. Trust the process

Lachlan DGoogle review

★★★★★

Simon helped me with coming back to training after an injury, and taught me the fundamentals of movement in a way that have never quite clicked for me before. With him I've been able to come back stronger and I now have a much stronger base, and I feel confident stepping into the gym. I know what movements to do, and more importantly, WHY I'm doing them. …

Amy LucasGoogle review

★★★★★

Before working with Simon I had never stepped foot into a weights gym. He showed me the basics of movement in order to build a solid foundation. … Now after several fight camps my strength & conditioning is a part of my day to day training and could never be replaced. I feel faster and stronger in the ring and my body is recovering super quick. …

The approach

Professional. Proven. Built around your fight.

The same principles from an amateur debut to a world title. Tested across hundreds of camps in Australia, Thailand and Cambodia. What changes is the dose, not the standard.

Strength supports the sport

Sessions sit around your skill training, not on top of it. You should walk out feeling better than you walked in.

Heavy is necessary, never the priority

Quality reps, bar speed and healthy joints come first. Load gets earned.

Track the athlete, not the calendar

Your program adjusts to sparring, recovery, injuries and the rest of your life.

Planned back from fight night

Every camp is mapped to the date, with a taper so you walk out to the ring fresh and sharp.

What I coach

Not just fighters. Anyone who wants to be strong.

I've had the privilege of being coached by some of the best coaches in the country, and arguably the world. Everything I've picked up applies just as much to someone who wants to get strong, or move and feel better, as it does to a fighter in camp. Same pricing, same system, same results.

Strength training

Get stronger than you ever imagined, at any age and from any starting point.

Hypertrophy

Building muscle with smart, proven training methods, whether it's for performance, health or how you look.

Functional strength

Strength that carries over to your sport, your work and everyday life.

Injury rehab and return to perform

Rebuilding after injury, from the first sessions back through to full training and competing again.

Conservative management

Non-surgical approaches where they're appropriate, including non-surgical ACL rehabilitation, working alongside your medical team.

Fight camp S&C

Strength, power and conditioning planned around your fight training and peaked for fight night.

In camp

Peak on the day

Everything is planned back from fight night, so you walk out stronger, sharper and fresher than you've been all camp.

Over 30? Start here

Get moving again. Get strong for life.

You don't need to be a fighter to train like one. If you're 30, 35, 40 or older and want to move without pain, get stronger and feel athletic again, this is built for you.

I've been there myself. I was 148kg before I got back on track, and strength training is a big part of how I did it.

We learn the patterns first and add load when you've earned it. Bad backs, old injuries and years off are all fine.

Strength that lasts

Stronger muscles, bones and joints so you keep doing what you love for longer.

Your whole week, not just your sessions

Training, walks, food and health choices, all planned around your life.

Win every week

No going for broke in week one. Set targets, hit them, and build a habit of winning that lasts.

  • Me at every session if you need it. In person in Melbourne, or feedback on every single session online.
  • Your full week programmed and coached around your life, training load and goal.
  • Nutrition done properly. I consult on your goal and match you with the right dietitian from a group of top-tier practitioners.
  • Treatment when it applies. Osteo and physio through practitioners I work with, so problems get dealt with early.
  • One point of contact. I coordinate the whole team, so you don't have to. Packages can include nutrition and a weekly treatment, built around what you need.

For gyms and promoters

Look after your fighters. All of them.

Your coaches build the skill. We build the athlete around it. Gym packages cover your whole fight team, from first-fight amateurs to the fighter headlining your next show, and work alongside your coaching, not against it.

Enquire about gym packages

Every gym is different, so packages are built to suit. Book a call or message us with how many fighters you have, their level and when they're fighting.

Questions

Before you start

I'm overseas. Can I still train with you?

Yes. Everything online runs through the SASC app, so it works the same in Phuket, Phnom Penh or Perth. Prices show in USD by default.

Will strength work slow me down?

Done badly, it can. Done properly, it builds the force behind your speed and power. Sessions are kept short and sit around your fight training so you walk out feeling better, not wrecked.

What equipment do I need?

Most programs are built for a normal gym with a barbell, dumbbells and a bike. You'll see the equipment list before you buy.

Can my gym or a sponsor pay?

Yes. Any option can be paid for by a gym, promoter or sponsor, and gyms signing up several fighters get a team package. See the gym packages above or book a call.

Can I change levels later?

Any time. Plenty of people start with a program and move to coaching when a fight gets booked.

Train smarter. Stay durable. Perform when it matters.
