Athletes Authority

Just completed the 12 week KVLR Series, hip, groin and lower back program. It’s honestly changed my life. I used to experience lower back pain all the time and have had a number of soft tissue injuries (groin, hamstring, quad and calf sprains and strains). I feel awesome when I sprint, play tag/touch and after strength training sessions at the gym (zero lower back pain after BB Back Squat and RDL’s). Few tips if you plan on following the program:
1. Spend more time on a phase if you have trouble completing the rep range/time
2. Record yourself completing exercises that you find difficult (I used my sons i pad).
3. Daily mobility exercises are just as important as the strength exercises in the program.
Hope this help, enjoy.

After a 2 year recovery process post an ACL reconstruction I managed to return to my sport of Taekwondo at full capacity!
I certainly could not have done it without the amazing team at Athletes Authority. Thank you for all your support and every amazing team member I got to work with. I would not have returned to the sport I am so passionate about if it wasn’t for what everyone did. In the last year AA built my confidence and strength to return to the mats. It was certainly a long process, but I was so fortunate to have such a supportive team behind me, to get me through a time like this. AA always wants the best for their athletes. Lachy and Karl will go above and beyond to support you however they can.
Such a professional facility, especially for those wanting to take sport to the next level. It was amazing to see my progress from when I started, afraid to kick at training and now back at full capacity. I felt the communication was superb and my needs both in rehabilitation and strength & conditioning were catered for to the highest level.

Justin, I am so thankful to have had you overlook my progress throughout my rehabilitation. He was always so patient and all ears when we had our sessions together. From the time I met Justin, I could always see he genuinely cared about the wellbeing of every athlete he worked with. From a simple hello and laugh with his athletes to be all ears trying to solve the problem with things that didn’t work. Even holding a bag for me to kick when slowly returning to training. I won’t forget your support. I will forever be thankful.

Athletes Authority is a very sticky organisation, and I mean that purely in the metaphorical sense. It's a place that once you start you can't pull yourself away. I'm not sure if it's because of the VERY classy gym set up, the enthusiastic and knowledgeable team, or the fact that you get great results and you just get hooked on the gains you are making to your strength, mobility and speed.or it could just be because they don't have adequate cleaning protocols* and you get stuck to the gym floor like an Oxford St Club dance-floor on Mardi Gras weekend ‍️

The AA Physio Team and particularly Mon, have been excellent throughout my whole rehab journey. Their knowledge, coupled with the systems, programs and testing that they have in place have been instrumental in not only getting my body back to where it was prior to my ACL rupture, but also helping me to identify and program for other deficiencies that I carried into my injury. The whole team provide a holistic approach to your rehab and S&C journey with the intent of making you a better athlete.

*This is obviously a joke, COVID-19 cleaning protocols are strictly adhered to.

Athletes Authority is an incredible place to train and work on rehab. The team is fantastic, they consistently go above and beyond to create a supportive and friendly environment where athletes can improve as quickly as possible!

The facilities and attention to detail are second to none. I especially like the way they have combined physio and training together so not only am I recovering quickly, but I am still making improvements to my overall performance. I would highly recommend training here!

Sport injury rehabilitation at its aboslute finest. I was looked after Justin for my rehab post ACL, and was delighted at the service, caring about both my physical the mental components of injury and return to sport.

Such a good gym and so much more than a gym, the whole crew are super friendly and very professional with second to none knowledge about all sports and all aspects of physical health and physio therapy! I highly recommend them, do yourself a favour and check them out!

By far the best facility around! The new location is top notch from staff to equipment and the fit-out itself. The owners, management and trainers are the most knowledgeable in the business and show up every day always looking to push their athletes to the max. Physio services exceed all expectations with access to the latest technologies that maximise efficiency throughout an athletes rehabilitation journey. You are guided and supported from start to finish. Would recommend Justin to anyone needing some help with any niggles or frustrations. Great gym with an even better atmosphere! Big love to AA.

The Athletes Authority team led by Karl Goodman and Lachie Wilmot is a well oiled machine in the athletic performance industry in Australia. After 2 big injuries that I sustained playing Rugby League to my hand and shoulder, it was the Physio’s, Al Robinson and Justin Richardson, that took me under their wings and brought me back to my best. If it weren’t for their expertise I don’t know how hard it would have been to return to playing the sport I love. It didn’t take long for me to realise I was training in the best facility with the best trainers Sydney can offer. I’m privileged to still be a part of this very special winning culture, training under Tom Watkins and loving every minute of it.

This gym is a total vibe. Everyone is incredibly knowledgeable and super supportive in helping us excel in our sports. All the staff and members are really friendly and you just know you’re in good hands:)

The entire team at Athletes Authority are a world class training facility that caters to all athletes both emerging (youth) and elite as well as providing a phenomenal injury rehabilitation program. Their training is individual and sporting specific and principles are cutting edge. The team are supportive, and encouraging with my 2 boys aged 10 and 12 who play soccer as well as compete in Track and Field. They also act as mentors to them providing them with feedback and encouragement every step of the way. Thank you for all the effort you put in everyday to make my boys better and more focused athletes.

I can not recommend Athletes Authority enough! Their attention to details, amazing client service and extensive knowledge in their industry is a recipe for greatness. Even throughout covid the amount of support I have received as an athlete has been incredible. Keep up the phenomenal work guys!

Following 2 years of chronic lower back pain, physio every week, suggestions of surgery and generally getting nowhere I landed at Athletes Authority.
6 months in, the team led by Lachy and Karl, coach Tommy, physio Al had me rowing again, lifting 3 times per week and back performing at a National level. The AA team culture, facilities and programs are next level.

These guys have changed my life! I was facing a third operation, had lots of pain and my muscle seem to be deteriorating. Now I am running again and doing things I enjoy with no pain. The dedication of the team is outstanding. I have felt nothing but welcome and am extremely grateful for their professionalism and support. I only wish I knew about them after my first operation!

Been training with AA for over a year now and cannot fault a thing. The facility is world-class the coaches are incredible and really value each individual athlete.

Incredible support throughout the ADP program from all coaches especially Nathan.
Incredible resources and staff intel provided. Nothing short of professional

These guys are amazing, best in the business for Strength and Conditioning coaching which is actually sport specific and tailored to your needs. They helped me through my knee rehab and have an awesome all round gym culture!

After a knee operation, I signed onto the athlete rehab program. Having physio and S&C in the same place allowed me to get a tailor-made gym program depending on how my injury was progressing. The supervised gym sessions had the perfect athlete to coach ratio, which allowed them to really pay a lot of attention to everybody. Karl and Lachlan have built such a positive environment as well as a professional facility. I completely trust the team with my rehab and highly recommend them to anybody returning from injury.

The KVLR protection programs from Athletes Authority are such great resources. Well thought out, written with great detail and it has great demo videos to go with it.

Came to AA with a rotator cuff tear and a meniscus tear and over a 12 week rehab program I was able to fully recover my shoulder and perform exercises and movements with my knee that I did not believe I would ever be able to do again. My Physio Alan was completely dedicated to my recovery and the passion and knowledge from the rest of the team in helping me improve myself physically was nothing like I have ever experienced. In my opinion there is no other way to train whether you are recovering from injury or trying to improve in your sport. Athlete's Authority is the place to be!

So I restarted the Kevlar Shin and Ankle program about a month ago. Sunday during out last Roller Derby Bout of the season I rolled my ankle from a plantar flexion position. I can't believe how well I got though and pulled up after, the potential for that to be a major injury but is hardly touching a grade 1.

I can't thank you guys enough for sharing the amazing Kevlar series and helping athletes with injury prevention!

Also a massive thank you for being so responsive and helpful with the many questions I have!

Can't wait to come visit hopefully sometime very soon!

Big love from SA,
