My favourite thing to do - coffee & walk catch ups with my friends in pretty places. I love to train (shock), am currently in my running era (amongst the rest of the population). As well as music, I’m a big foodie and bookworm when I make the time.
Greatest sporting/physical achievement/memory
East Brighton premiership 2023!! After a year and a half off sport after a back injury, I was fearful of movement. Took me a long while to lift without fear, and then run, and then actually kick a footy (something that previously aggravated my injury, and a movement I was avoidant of). Finishing my first year back by winning the premiership with some of my best friends, unbeatable. My chronic pain experience shaping me as a coach for the better.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL - ANGUS GRANT
When did you start training at T6P?
I started training at the sixth principle in 2020 during covid and through the speed project. I really took a liking to the consistency but new athletic based exercises that were going to help me long term. I knew Jarrad Kay through my local football club, and was a great comfort coming in knowing I already knew a few boys who are at the club.
What successes did you have from training at T6P?
Some successes I have had over the last few years is able to smash new pbs every offseason as well as bulletproofing my body for football. I can say I have not had a soft tissue or long term injury since training at the sixth mainly through consistency but also the type of exercises catered for my sport. My coach Zoe has made it incredibly easy to discuss what would work best for me but also to have a bit of fun with it. If anything ever felt off or I had a niggle, there was an easy communication process to suggest an alternative and adjust. I only joined the gym being a local football player and have since been on a list at Sandringham dragons, and Frankston Dolphins. Going from a fringe player over the last two years now being an important player in the team.
Would you recommend us?
Of course I would recommend the sixth not only for the programming but more so for the relationships I have built over the years. I’ve always thought going to the gym as 2 birds one stone. Get to see my friends and also exercise at the same time. Both and really healthy habits I have found so much comfort in going to the gym.
