Core Advantage Athletic Development

Great coaches. Individualised programs for everyone and every sport. Have helped me significantly with my strength and conditioning this past year and I look forward to continuing my journey with them!

An amazing and supportive environment! Core have become like family to me, getting me though some really low times and enabled me to achieve some of my goals already. I always look forward to walking into the gym and always feel as though i’m in a safe environment to continue to sweat and heal the bone stress in my legs! Much love to the crew always

Consulted Jerome Lugo for a pretty severe toe injury. He professionally, monitored my rehab closely and helped me return to sport safely. With a sports rehab focus, Core Advantage played a massive role in my return to high level sport.

The best investment in myself as an athlete I have ever made! As an older amateur (early 30s) I came to Core Advantage after lockdowns had finally subsided in mid 2022. I had been doing S&C.gym work on and off for a good 6-7 years and generally was struggling with managing load of training, getting back into sport after a few years without it and continuing to pick up niggles/minor injuries.

I wanted to have a program set for me that I could trust and stick to knowing I was doing enough in the gym and could come in, get to work and leave without worrying I was doing too little. I set my goals with Pat on my first visit to be healthier, more consistent with training and build my jumping load capacity as I continued to pursue better on court performance.

After just over a year of consistent training all I can say is the results were far more than I expected! I'm far stronger than I have ever been, more confident in my body's ability to manage load and I've seen athletic improvements I wasn't expecting. Even though my goal was to increase capacity, I was able to increase my vertical by 11cm back to where it was when I was in my late teens/early 20s and have two of my best volleyball seasons yet! From the consistent programming by the team at Core Advantage and consistently showing up and putting in the work I was really able to reap the rewards of the effort and that's been worth every dollar! A huge thanks to the team at Core Advantage (Pat, Riley, Durham, and many more) for their help and effort! Every single one of the coaches and support staff are legends and happy help with technique, go on a deep dive in S&C ideas or just have a chat and are always interested in how you're going outside of your sport/gym.

The facility is top notch. Awesome Ironedge equipment (probably the best trap bar I've ever used), 30m track for plyos and sprints is the best thing to have in an athletic performance gym and I wish it was standard in all gyms ever!

Even though I still picked up some little injuries in the volleyball season the in-house physios are EXCELLENT and had me back on court in no time and I was still confident to keep lifting and moving whereas I never would've been before coming here.

Don't think twice. If you're ready to invest in your own development as an athlete the investment is more than worth it. Give Core Advantage a call!

Core advantage is a great place, I love working with elite people to get the best out of myself
Everyone at core is amazing (especially Pat!)

Core advantage is great.the coaches are very knowledgeable and make the gym a fantastic environment.

Core Advanatge has been amazing for me over my journey with hip issues over the past 4 years. They have always accommodated my injury in my programming and helped me get beyond where I thought I’d ever get back to. The coaches are always friendly and help make the gym a really welcoming place for all.

So supportive, so good at getting me back where I need to be! Loyal client of 8 years will never leave

Great coaches and very helpful equipment. The programs given have really helped my improvement for sport.

Fantastic facilities and awesome trainers. The culture at Core Advantage is elite and really does set up every athlete for success which is a real credit to the team of trainers.
Highly recommend for all up and coming athletes wanting to get the most and out of themselves.

Core advantage is a great center for strength and rehabilitation, with such supportive staff that encourage continuous development for their athletes

The Core Advantage team are incredible and super friendly! They create training programs based on each individual’s needs and goals. I’ve become so much more educated on my movement and training thanks to them.

Great facility with professional trainers. Ideal strength, agility and mobility training centre for basketball players.

I’d like to give a review of 5 stars, as the professional physical guidance, work and care provided to my son has been a game changer with his Oshgood Schlatter. Previous physio’ and advise did not have any great success, Core Advantage was amazing.
However they have continued to take money from our bank, long after my son’s treatment
Hopefully I’ll be changing this review with a reimbursement of the money! And we can trustfully return to them should our son have a further fitness issues.
They returned the money and were really great.

These guys rock! Durham runs one of the slickest businesses I know. He is the very definition of industry leader and hires only the best and brightest in the industry. The positive energy and enthusiasm to see athletes meet and exceed their goals is just brilliant.

5 years ago Durham was working with my now 203cm basketballer son Jack on his strength, resilience and vertical leap. He went from not dunking to easily dunking 2 months after starting the program at 16. Now Charlie is 15 and has been working with Durham for just a few months. Significant increase in speed and take-off has seen Charlie set the 15m sprint benchmark out of 300+ student athletes. Not bad for a 197cm big guy!

If you want to take your sport ALL the way to the top - this is the place to make it happen. Everyone needs speed, strength, resilience, endurance and balance. This is where you get THE best tailored programs in Melbourne. And no - I'm not getting paid to rave about it. Just a hugely impressed customer!

Great places to work out. Been there since June and the results are amazing, thanks to the team at core advantage

The team at Core Advantage are brilliant, they have developed a program that ensures sports athlete's excel. I have seen a significant improvement in my child's running and core strength which has inturn improved his athleticism on the court. I would highly recommend Core Advantage to any athlete recovering from an injury or wanting to move to the next level in their chosen sport. No matter how far you have to travel to attend a session at Core Advantage every minute there is well worth the effort. There is nothing like Core Advantage anywhere in Australia.

Been training there for over 3 months now and the results have been pretty significant! The strength and explosiveness I've been working on in my program has really translated well into my sport (karate) and I couldn't be happier with the progress. Everyone apart of Core Advatnage is friendly and helpful which makes training there a pleasure. Definitely recommend for elite athletes in any sport.
