Was recommended to go to Ahrie at Performotion for my meniscus injury. Ahrie is excellent and I have noticed improvement already. Working on building a strong foundation. Highly recommend Ahrie.

Josh does a great job at ensuring my partner and I are training correctly and working on problem areas.

He is incredibly knowledgable about rehabilitation and helping us get back to it stronger and better than before

Hi Reece, thank you so much for your review! We are so glad you’re enjoying your sessions with Josh!

I've worked with Kelly for about 2.5 years. She's the most responsive coach I've ever had, both in terms of her communication and her programming. Feedback is frequent and consistent, and tailored to my needs. Her programming is adaptive. I'm constantly amazed at how she can see tiny details when reviewing videos of my lifts, and she's helped me overcome plateaus and hit PRs on all lifts. I've also had the pleasure of working with Josh when struggling with an exacerbation of low back pain that I've had for years and that wasn't helped by other physical therapy services. After an initial assessment, we had a few video sessions and he programmed some exercises for me to incorporate into my training. He was incredibly professional, and I was impressed by the time and care he put into our sessions. And, ultimately, the back pain went away! Love working with them both!

Response from the owner 05:51 12 Aug 25

Thanks so much for your feedback Marisa! It’s so good to have you on the team!

I’ve had an amazing experience at this gym! The coaches (Especially Ahrie) are super friendly and incredibly knowledgeable – they always take the time to guide you properly, correct your form, and push you just the right amount. The environment is welcoming and motivating, making it a great place for both beginners and experienced members.

Kelly has been my powerlifting coach since 2021 and has played a huge role in my journey — from local competitions all the way to representing Australia on the international stage. Her expertise, support, and attention to detail have been second to none.

What sets Kelly apart is the team she’s built around her. Working alongside a team of skilled exercise physiologists, it’s a complete service that covers training, rehab, and performance — all under one roof. Whether you're new to the sport or chasing elite-level goals, you’ll be in the best hands.

If you're serious about becoming the strongest version of yourself, the Performotion team is where you want to be.

Response from the owner 23:55 03 Aug 25

Thanks so much Tom!

I’ve been working with kelly for about 6 months and she has been the most transformative coach in every aspect. Kelly is not only incredibly knowledgeable in her field, but she keeps me honest in my training and encourages me when I need it most. You would be in fantastic hands with kelly!

An amazing establishment. Had the pleasure of being treated online by Ahrie, an exercise physiotherapist, whom I can’t recommend enough. Being coached by Kelly has brought my lifting to a new level, words can not explain my gratitude. I feel honoured to be apart of the perf team.

Response from the owner 23:30 31 Jul 25

Thank you Sharon!

Had my first session with Ahrie today and it was great. He listened to the issues I had and has worked out a plan to get me back into the gym.

I've had a great experience working with Ahrie. His deep understanding of movement, strength training, and rehabilitation has been invaluable in helping me improve my performance and prevent injuries. As a weightlifting himself, he truly understands the demands of strength sports and tailors programs that are both effective and realistic. Whether you're recovering from an injury or looking to optimise your training, I highly recommend Ahrie!

Had my first gym session after years of inactivity and Ahrie was exceptional at providing me with a workout that was challenging and sustainable. Looking forward to achieving my fitness goals with his guidance.

I found Arhie to be a highly competent Exercise Physiologist. He helped me address my repetitive strain induced neck pain and linked up with my S&C coach to make sure everything we did fit with my program. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs a dedicated and knowledgeable professional.

Working with Kelly & Ahrie has been a winning combo! I’ve been wanting to work with Kelly Mann for more than a year now and finally reached out. I am so pleased that I did. After more than 20 years as a competitive powerlifter and weightlifter, I am excited to restart my journey with fresh eyes and a new perspective. Kelly is thoughtful, direct and responsive, and this is exactly what I need from a coach. I am grateful Kelly referred me to Ahrie for PT for my hip shift and hip/back pain related to an old hip labrum tear. After only 2 sessions I feel a significant improvement in my movement patterns and was immediately in less pain! Plus I love working with a PT who understands my sport and works collaboratively with my coach’s programming. Massive thanks, guys! Keep up the strong work!!

I recently had the opportunity to have an online consultation with Ahrie to address some issues I’ve had with my bicep/shoulder. Within the first 30 minute call, I was able to walk away feeling more mobile and informed. Ahrie got me set up with some exercises to help properly warm up my upper body for benching and to keep those niggles from popping up again during my heavier sessions. I’m looking forward to applying the cues and tips he provided! 10/10 would highly recommend to any athlete looking to perform well, and most importantly, feel well whilst doing it. PerforMotion has some of the most knowledgeable exercise physiologists you can find.

Kelly Mann is the best and most knowledgeable coach I’ve had and spoken too. I have made a considerable amount of progress and have learnt a lot more about the sport and technique in general than i ever thought. Programming was flexible and when I had any injuries or issues, they were catered for and adjusted so I could continue making progress and the communication is super quick. If I ever have to recommend a coach I would recommend Kelly.

I had a great experience with Ahrie, very knowledgeable in the field of exercise physiology. Had me moving pain free within 10 minutes. Looking forward to increasing my mobility and strength with correct form and being able to workout pain free.

After years of issues post a shoulder injury I was recently referred to the talented exercise physiologist, Ahrie. A few sessions in and he already has me moving better with chronic pains starting to reduce. He takes the time to tailor key exercises to your needs. However, as an athlete himself, he also understands the importance of you wanting to reach your performance goals. My partner now sees him as well. Highly recommended!
