Online Coaching with Australian Barbell Clinic
Not a compromise
Australian Barbell Clinic Online Coaching is not a template or app with a coach bolted on. It is the same premium strength training you’d get if you walked into our gym in Trott Park — the Starting Strength method taught, every working lift reviewed, programming that changes when life changes — delivered through our customised app and reviewed by our expert coaches so you can train in your own gym, on your own schedule.
Build strength for the rest of your life, with a coach who watches every working lift — without being bound to our gym timetable.
Who it is for?
Anyone who wants to build strength for their decades to come
Folk coming back from spine issues, joint surgery, inactivity, or the “I was told to never lift again” diagnosis
Parents, shift workers, FIFO, and anyone whose week will not fit a fixed PT timetable
Women who want to build real strength, not another circuit class - strength to get them through having kids, menopause and to put on tissue to combat osteoporosis
People looking for a cost effective option for premium coaching - online coaching is far better priced than one on one PT coaching with no compromises on coaching or programming - you just miss out on our awesome community.
Somone who wants to build a relationship with a coach that knows their goals and seeks to help them achieve them through a relationship over time.

FAQ
Is online as good as being in the gym with you?
Yes - in some ways we think it is better than in person coaching! You film your working sets and send them to us in the app, we then break down every lift you send to us - you get your coaches full attention, no shared gym, it’s like have a virtual one on one session. We also have an online community where you can chat with your fellow lifters, leader boards, resource libraries, and the ability to message your coaches.
What you lose is the banter in the gym sessions - and we do admit the banter in our gym is pretty darn good.
I have a bad back / new hip / I was told not to lift. That is normal here. Joel came back from a spine disease and a ladder fall that left him with multiple herniated discs, almost no control of his legs, and no sensation from hips to toes. We program around the body you have.
Do I need a squat rack? You need a safe place to squat, bench, press and deadlift. A commercial gym or a basic home rack is enough for mosk people.
How quickly do you reply? Check-ins and videos are reviewed on coaching days, we generally turn videos around in 24 hours excluding holidays. You will get to know your coach’s rhythm in week one.
Can I pause if I travel? Yes. You can block out days in the app or tell your coach. The program changes. The membership can be paused by through the app.
Is nutrition included? Basic eating-for-training habits are included in our Online Strength Coaching. A full nutrition strategy is the Strength + Nutrition plan.
I’m already a member at Trott Park. You can run hybrid: some sessions in the room, some filmed on the road. Ask us to set that up rather than running two separate plans.
