ABOUT US
Jock Athletic is not just about training elite athletes, although this seems to be the popular conception. This perception came about because both owners have been high-performance directors at the elite level of international sport.
Jock Campbell was with the Australian Cricket team during their dominant years and Paul Watson at the NRL with the Sharks and Premiership winning Panthers.
Having come to the crossroads in 2006, they decided to channel their vast experience in helping people reach their potential into their own business.
Since its inception in 2006, Jock Athletic has grown steadily and now boasts a client list ranging from 72-year old grandmothers to 6-year old aspiring runners. Highly paid TV executives and identities, Davis Cup tennis players, former and current Australian cricket players and international actresses train alongside average Joes and sporting icons like Steve Waugh, Glenn McGrath and Jason Stevens. Most importantly, whether teaching people how to run, to lift weights, to manage their hectic lifestyles and make better lifestyle choices or how to lose weight and keep it off, they're using their expertise to help average people reach their potential.
Drawing from their experience with elite sports, Jock Athletic is also serious about helping amateur athletes maximise their potential. The Jock Athletic Sports Academy is a leading niche sports and training academy, giving the next generation of athletes the best opportunities and facilities to reach their potential.
This innovative company is redefining the term lifestyle fitness. With a boutique style personal training studio and such close proximity to training facilities in the great outdoors of the Sutherland Shire, Jock Athletic rates second to none in terms of service and motivational training techniques.
Successful results from members of Jock Athletic range from personal bests in individual competitions, permanent weight loss and healthier lifestyle choices to the elderly gaining an increased quality of life.
What sets Jock Athletic apart from others is the focus on individual supervision and attention with the emphasis being on customer service.
Jock Athletic has also succeeded in running community based special events. The very popular charity-focused Jane McGrath Classic and the Wanda X-Treme 6.
The success of these events has not only earned the company a reputation for staging world-class professional events, it has attracted invaluable support from exciting companies and it has enabled hundreds of people from all walks of life to experience Jock Athletics unique brand of Fitness for Life!
