Designed and delivered by Sam Church (ASCA Level I Strength & Conditioning Coach, Physiotherapist and resident Surfer) our surf strength program runs on Monday to Thursday evenings at regular times each week. Being a Northern Beaches gym, we knew we needed to offer something that helped our surf community to be fitter and stronger in the water and for life.
Our surfer strength program is endorsed by Surfing Australia which means we are now a preferred provider for high-performance surf S&C. Whether you’re a weekend warrior, winning board riders or on the world stage, our Surf Program will help you to surf better for longer, pain-free.

TRAIN LIKE A SURFER
There's a misconception that surf training is just flexibility.
Range of movement is a large part of it, but if you want to start throwing buckets and developing power and style, strength training is crucial. That's why we started Surfer Strength.
