Success Stories

Working with Tom has been one of the best experiences of my life. Tom has been coaching me for close to 2 years and I can confidently say that he has made me a better person, athlete and coach. I originally approached Tom after battling some knee pain which has been diagnosed and treated professionally by him purely online. Since then, we have made drastic improvements in my training with a notable 350kg Deadlift at 83kg bodyweight. Since being able to train pain free, I have found myself in a position to thankfully push for my ultimate goal of winning the 2022 Raw National Championships and represent Australia for the 3rd time at the 2023 IPF World Classic Championships.

Tom is a phenomenal coach, mentor and close friend that I know I can turn to for anything. Tom has helped me build my confidence and develop a healthy outlook on my own training and competing. What really stands out to me about Tom is how much he cares about his athletes and team no matter the level of experience. He wholeheartedly believes in everyone that he works with and the commitment he provides is second to none. The support and encouragement which Tom provides goes far beyond lifting, he truly wants to see you succeed in all of life.

I am extremely grateful for everything that Tom has done for me and I can’t wait to see what we will accomplish in the future.

“Steven is an invaluable asset to the performotion team. He goes above and beyond to ensure my growth as a competitive athlete continues to grow. At times he may be brutally honest when needed but also immensely empathetic and supportive in the right moments. I cannot recommend anyone other than Steven, he is a caring human who I have complete confidence and trust in backing me along my journey.”

“Since working with Kelly online I have become a better lifter increasing my strength and immensely improving my technique and lifting with no pain during squats. What makes her a good coach is she actually cares about her lifters doing well and succeeding in their goals. She has also helped me gain better understanding of my own biomechanics and explaining the why’s of specific exercises.”

“Shania has been my coach since June 2021. Since then, we have refined my technique and added 20+kgs to my total. During in-person sessions with Shania, she is attentive and detail orientated and provides just the right technique cues needed to maximise efficiency. Even during online feedback, Shania is able to communicate small cues and provide feedback in a clear and easy to understand manner which makes it easy to implement. Shania’s programming is specific to the individual, their goals and training capacity. Finally, Shania has handled me for one novice competition and two sanctioned competitions so far. Her comp day handling is calm, confident and empathetic but also, very tailored to the individual. I am extremely happy with my choice of coach and I can’t wait to see what we can build together.”

“I have had issues with my shoulder for years. Seen multiple PTs and doctors and nothing and no one seemed to help. Tom Haynes could tell almost immediately where my issues where coming from and we got to work I’m fixing it. We’ve only been working together a couple months and it’s insane the movement I’ve gained. I’m all the way in Afghanistan and doing this remotely and they are very accommodating. 10/10 would recommend.”

“I started with Kelly 2 years ago. My shoulder was so bad that turning the steering wheel was a struggle. I’m now benching confidently, without pain. July last year, following a knee replacement, she did her magic and had me back squatting so quickly that at my 6 weeks check-in with my surgeon, he described my recovery as a “freak of nature”. I cannot recommend her enough. Do NOT suffer – go and get fixed.”

Jeff Farrell

“I’ve been seeing Kelly for around 4 years now to help with chronic back pain. Prior to that I saw a number of different specialists with no lasting results. Kelly took a special interest in my case due to the severity of my condition, and has worked with me tirelessly over the years to provide physical and emotional support. She has helped to drastically reduce the symptoms, gain strength and mobility, and allow me to move properly again. Kelly and her team have an astounding understanding of human movement, and her eye for detail is unparalleled. I can’t recommend Performotion highly enough.”

Movement and Mental Health

How are movement and mental health correlated? Most of us use exercise as a method of maintaining our mental health. If we start experiencing pain in our back when we run, squat, do push ups, pick up our kids of the canine, feline, and primate variety; we tend to...

Does good posture really matter?

What if I told you that posture doesn’t matter? We all grew up being told to ‘stand up straight’ and to ‘stop slouching on the chair”. Nowadays sitting has been described as the new smoking and stand up desks are selling out faster than hot cakes. What if I told...

I started working with Tom Haynes almost 3 years ago. After a long and taxing military career I wasn't sure what my body would be able to handle moving in to competitive strength sports. Tom did and continues to work tirelessly with me in putting my body back together and performing at levels I never thought I would or could. But as good of an EP as what Tom is, he is as equally a nice human being. Whether you have pain you want to address or want to perform your best (or both), hit up PerforMotion. You will not be disappointed.

When I first started using Michael Bates as a trainer I was overweight and had difficulty moving due a long standing knee injury. I lost 27kgs and have maintained that weight loss for 3 years and counting. I moved away from QLD and continued to follow the program Michael set for me. With weight loss no longer the main goal, I decided to challenge myself to take part in a 36km walk. I achieved the walk and did it in a time almost 45min fast than I expected! I have continued to work with Michael online to maintain the stability and integrity of my knee and have successfully avoided having to undergo joint replacement surgery. When I do choose to work with a trainer in my current home state, Michael works with them to ensure their understanding of my needs and how movement affects my injury (plus I can’t get away with anything! 😊). I put the effort in but if it wasn’t for Michael’s care, guidance and reinforcement throughout my transition to a healthier lifestyle and mindset I don’t believe I would be in the position I am in today both mentally and physically. I cannot recommend Michael highly enough, he quite literally changed my life.

Tom and Kelly have helped me initially with training and exercise programming after a neck disc fusion and later with diabetes management through to now providing coaching in powerlifting. I can’t rate them highly enough.

I started training with Tom when I had two herniated discs and pretty severe nerve impingement, leading to numbness and weakness all down my right leg. Tom took on the challenge of this very angry, very sore, occasionally despairing netballer with a broken back and thanks to a combination of the rehab he put me through and some industrial grade anti-inflammatories I managed to avoid surgery and even get back on court after a few months. Tom not only helped me recover the strength and mobility I'd lost, but also helped me learn to have confidence in my back again after months of feeling like it had majorly let me down. I hate strength training and gyms in general but Tom puts up with my whining and manages not to roll his eyes at me too hard when I forget to do any homework he gives me. Thanks Tom.

Great place, friendly atmosphere. Has free weights, squat racks, benches, a sled upstairs. TRX machine. Great EPs/coaches. Michael Bates is top notch- highly recommend him. You can probably claim on private health- I did.

The team at PerforMotion are incredible. I’ve been seeing Tom Haynes since March last year and to put it simply he’s changed my life. Not only did he fix my hip niggles but he has kept me injury/pain free and prepped me into 3 powerlifting competitions. Tom has helped me achieve things I never thought were possible. The absolute best in the business 👌

Being old school (over 60), I didn't know what an exercise physiologist was. I'd injured my knee at zumba and had pain in the opposite hip to the point even walking wasn't enjoyable - I put it down to age-related arthritis and that was the end of zumba! Kelly convinced me to do a session with her and quickly identified the problematic muscle group around my knee that needed strengthening. It's hard to believe the difference that the right exercise can make to improve mobility and general enjoyment of movement. I've continued doing a regular session with Kelly or Tom, am totally pain free and stronger - my cardiologist confirmed I am fitter this year than I was last year and that has to be thanks to Kelly and Tom. I would highly recommend PerforMotion if you want to move and feel better at any age!

Initially started seeing Kelly with rehab post shoulder reconstruction. My shoulder is now better than it has been in decades. I'm now pregnant, and doing work to ensure strength and stability through pregnancy and beyond. I have trained with both Kelly and Tom and both EP's are at the top of their game. I've recommended friends who have also had stellar results and recoveries.
