What your 28 days covers

Train smarter, not harder

It's four things working together, with a coach who actually knows what they're doing guiding you through it. That's what the 28-Day Challenge is built around.

01

Movement

Training built around how your body actually moves, so you get stronger without breaking down.

02

Nutrition

A simple plan you can actually stick to. No crash diets, no obsessive calorie counting.

03

Sleep

The recovery piece most gyms ignore, and the one that makes everything else start working.

04

Stress

Managing the load life puts on you, so your progress doesn't fall over the moment things get busy.

A coach who knows your name. Weekly check-ins, so you're never guessing what to do next. And a community of locals going through it right alongside you.

The SMA Difference

Most gyms hand you a swipe card and wish you luck

Most people don't quit because they're lazy. They quit because no one was in their corner. It was never a willpower problem, it was a support problem. Here's the difference.

A Typical 24/7 Gym

  • × Hand you a swipe card and wish you luck
  • × Rows of equipment, no one showing you how
  • × Coaches fresh out of uni with a clipboard
  • × Programs built for 22-year-olds
  • × Mirrors, egos and intimidation
  • × You figure it out, or you quit

Strength & Motion Academy

  • ✓ A real coach builds your plan
  • ✓ Taught how to move before you load up
  • ✓ 10+ years of coaching experience
  • ✓ Programming for your body and stage of life

Straight up

What you won't find at SMA

Mirrors

Train without a wall of reflections and the comparison game that comes with it. Just you and the work.

Egos

No intimidation, no showing off. Just everyday locals training next to you and cheering you on.

Guesswork

Every session has a plan. You always know exactly what you're doing and why it works for you.

Coach Josh Hardy
Meet your coaches

Hey, I'm Coach Josh Hardy

I grew up in Midland and went to school down the road from this gym. I was a diesel mechanic before this. At a certain point I took a significant loan and built SMA instead of going down the path everyone expected, because this community deserved something better than what was on offer.

Ten years coaching. A couple of ultramarathons (140km PB in 24 hours), and an ankle from a surgery that went wrong that I train on anyway. I train the same way I coach. Consistency before intensity, movement before load, always.

And I'm Navar Poole

Co-owner of SMA. I grew up around Stratton and Swan View. I started out as a security guard, moved into sales management, then became a personal trainer working out of a small space on Farrall Road in Midvale. I got booked out faster than I expected, and that's where the idea of building something bigger started.

Between us the philosophy is the same: community first, coaching at the centre, and training built around your body and your stage of life, not a program made for someone half their age.

Honest answers

Questions people actually ask

Yes. Everyone starts somewhere and most people who walk in feel exactly the same way. We start with small steps, coach you through every movement and build from where you are, not where someone half your age is.

Last time you probably had no real structure, no one checking in and a program built for someone else. Here you get a plan, a coach who knows your name, and a community that notices if you don't show up. That's what makes it stick.

No lock-in contracts. The 28-Day Challenge is a no-pressure way to see if we're the right fit for you. If it's not for you, no hard feelings.

Most members train two to three times a week. We'd rather you were consistent with a couple of sessions than burn out chasing five. We build the plan around your real life.

Our whole approach is built on movement, function and coaching, drawing on physio and rehab principles. Tell us on the form and your coach adjusts your plan around it. Plenty of our members train with old injuries.

Everyone feels that on day one and almost no one feels it by week two. We're a friendly, no-ego community of everyday locals. You'll be welcomed the moment you walk in.

That's up to you. Plenty of members carry on because they've built the habit and want to keep the momentum. There's no pressure and no hard sell. We'll have an honest chat about what makes sense for you.

You already know you need to make a change

You've probably known for a while. The people who did it didn't have more time, more motivation or more perfect circumstances than you. They just decided, and they showed up. Come and see it for yourself.
