View programAbout your coach
Coaching built for demanding schedules.
I am Jakob McDowell, a Brisbane based coach with more than ten years across personal training, gym management and community recreation.
I have been where most of my clients start. I was overweight when I was younger, and the decision to change that is what eventually led me into this career. I have also had to rebuild from scratch more than once, including after a near fatal accident more than a decade ago.
That is why I do not think you need to live in a gym, eat perfectly, or give up your social life to get in good shape. Your life does not need to revolve around fitness. Fitness should help you get more out of your life.
Coaching is delivered individually and the number of active clients is capped, so that every program receives proper attention. Places become available as existing programs conclude.

In their words
What clients actually say
Real feedback from real clients, written up clearly where English was not their first language and they asked for help saying it.
“I wanted to drop body fat without losing the muscle I had already built, and that is exactly what has happened. Jakob adjusts things every week based on what is actually going on for me, not a fixed plan I have to force myself into. I am leaner and stronger than when I started, and none of it has felt like punishment.”
Seif Koura
Lost body fat while building muscle at the same time · Body Recomposition
“I have been skinny my whole life and always assumed that was just how my body worked. Jakob did not treat that as an excuse. The muscle I have put on has actually surprised people who have known me for years, which says more than anything I could write here.”
Zane Gomez
Visible muscle growth despite a naturally lean frame · Muscle Building
“The muscle is the visible part, but honestly the bigger change is how much better I feel day to day. My energy is different, and training does not feel like a chore I am trying to survive anymore.”
Matthew Robbo
Built muscle and feels noticeably healthier · Muscle Building
