What Our Clients Are Saying
Korey Roberts | Triathlete
“I’ve noticed a big change in my physique and the one-on-one coaching is unreal.”
Joining SargentHP has been an awesome experience. I’ve already seen a huge change in my physique, and honestly, I didn’t expect the one-on-one coaching to be this solid. My biggest fear was that I’d be left to figure it out solo but Sarg has absolutely delivered.
As a triathlete, having someone help manage my loading, recovery, and fuelling has been a game changer. I feel stronger, more balanced across disciplines, and far more in control of my training week. I’m rating the experience a 9/10. I’m still working on small habits like staying hydrated during sessions, but overall, couldn’t ask for more. The programming, accountability, and education have all been spot on.
Coach Sarg's Feedback: Korey is an absolute machine. Working 5 days a week as an apprentice builder, churning out 4-5 sessions of intense cardiac work, then 2 sessions of resistance work with me. Its only been a short time but he is impressing me more and more every week
Britt Ryan | ACL Rehab (Non-Surgical)
“12 months ago I was unsure if I’d run again. Now I’m back on the track.”
Joining the Strive to Be coaching program was the perfect next step after finishing exercise physio. As a complete gym newbie coming off an ACL injury, I was nervous about whether I’d know how to do the exercises or stay consistent. But the way Coach Sarg set everything up, with video demos, a clear checklist, and regular check-ins through social and email made it feel personal, not clinical.
After 12 months of hard work, I’m running again, without surgery. I’ve built strength, confidence, and consistency in ways I never expected. I’m rating my journey a 7/10, not because it wasn’t amazing, but because I know I’ve still got plenty more left in the tank.
The structured support helped me stay motivated while I chased other goals, like 10k daily steps and completing a run challenge. It’s been a real mindset and movement shift and a massive part of my recovery.
Coach Sarg's Feedback: Working with Britt around her goal of running again was a challenging but rewarding journey. We explored all options, consulted with her surgeon and proceeded with a evidenced based, science back progressive program, with outcome measures used to manage pain, function and progressions at appropriate times. To hear her excitement when she told me she was able to complete her first 5k Park Run was reinforcing as a coach why I do this.

Client Testimonials
Angela Russell | Calisthenics & Cricket Athlete
Stacked on serious gains and I'm not crazy fatigued or getting injured!! Loving the program, nutrition and mindfulness at the moment.
Tessa Manning
Tried a bunch of online fitness programs but Stephen's coaching really delivers. Solid structure, plus the group classes keep things varied and motivating. Really worth it.

Flynn Phelan | Athlete (Basketball)
“I didn’t think I needed a coach… but hell, was I wrong.”
Before starting with Coach Sarg, I honestly thought I had it handled on my own. But after just a few weeks in the Strive to Be program, that mindset flipped completely.
Training with Sarg hasn’t just helped me physically — it’s changed me mentally. I’m more accountable, more routine-driven, and I feel like I’ve finally got momentum in my life again. It’s not just about lifting weights. It’s about showing up for yourself every damn day.
This experience has been a straight-up 10/10. The program keeps me locked in, even when life gets busy. I’m still working on improving my nutrition habits, but knowing I’ve got someone backing me makes a massive difference.
If you’re sitting there thinking you don’t need help — trust me, I was you. And I was wrong.
Coach Sarg's Feedback: Flynn started with me being able to move 40kg comfortably, and 60kg for a 1RM on his back squat to a low box, since starting the program we have progressively overloaded, scaling week by week, with him hitting a 1RM of 95kg in the first week of August!
