1-on-1 personal training, small group sessions, and online coaching — all outdoors on the Northern Beaches. You don't need another program. You need someone to show up with you, hold you to it, and make it actually work for your life.
All programs are built around you specifically. The format changes — the level of attention and care doesn't. Pick what fits your life right now.
Your session, your pace, your goals. Every single session is planned around what your body needs that day — not a generic program pulled from a clipboard. We train at Manly Beach, Shelly Beach, or wherever works for you. Full technique coaching, real-time adjustments, and a trainer who's 100% focused on you for every minute.
Train with 3–5 people at the same level and ability. You get proper coaching and real accountability at a price that makes sense. Not a class — Sam still knows your name, your goals, and your limits.
Full training program and nutrition guidance built around your schedule, your equipment, and your goals. Weekly video check-ins, form feedback, and direct access to Sam — not a bot, not a template.
Every Apex client — whether you're training 1-on-1, in a small group, or online — gets the same complete approach. The session is just one part of it.
Most trainers write a program and hand it over. I build a system around your specific body, schedule, and life — then stay in it with you until it becomes second nature.
Before anything, we sit down and go through your history, your goals, any injuries or limitations, and what you actually want your life to look like. This shapes everything that follows.
Not a template. Not a 12-week PDF. A structured plan that adapts week to week based on how you're progressing, how you're feeling, and what's working.
I don't hand you a meal plan and tell you to stick to it. I teach you how to eat in a way that supports your training and fits your actual life — because that's what lasts.
Quick weekly check-ins to track progress, catch anything that isn't working early, and keep the momentum going between sessions. This is where most of the real progress happens.
Questions, motivation dips, something feels off — text me. I respond to clients personally, not through an app or a VA. If something's not right, I want to know about it before your next session.
You know what you should be doing. You just need someone to make sure it actually happens around your schedule, not against it.
You've done the gym memberships, the apps, the programs. Nothing stuck. The problem isn't your discipline — it's that nothing was built for your life specifically.
Never trained properly before and not sure where to start. That's fine — most of Sam's best results have come from people who had no idea what they were doing when they first showed up.
We live on the Northern Beaches. Training at Manly Beach, Shelly Beach, or Queenscliff Reserve at 6:30am isn't a compromise — it's genuinely hard to beat. The fresh air, the space, the views. It makes showing up easier and the sessions better.
Learn more about Sam →
I was the kid who got picked last in PE. Uncoordinated, genuinely unfit, and completely convinced I just wasn't an athletic person.
At 22, I started training outdoors on Manly Beach. Six months later I barely recognised myself — not just physically, but mentally. I became a trainer because I wanted to show people that your background doesn't matter. You just need a plan and someone in your corner.
The Full Story →86 reviews on Google. Here are three that say it better than I could.
Read all 86 on Google →Sam doesn't mess around with filler exercises. Every session has a purpose and you feel it. I've trained with other PTs before — the difference in quality is immediately obvious.
I was nervous about starting — completely unfit and a bit embarrassed about it. Sam made me feel completely at ease from session one. Six months in and I'm down 9kg and actually enjoying it.
Online coaching with Sam is completely different to getting a spreadsheet emailed at you. He actually checks in, adjusts the program week to week, and responds fast when you need it.
First consult is free and there's zero obligation. We meet, we talk, you decide. That's it.
