Philosophy
Every program is built on science, tracked with real data and supported by habits that make your results last.
& Mobility
Before we load the bar, we make sure your body moves the way it should. Programs are built around your limitations and injuries so you can train hard without breaking down.
& Performance
Progressive, structured programming that builds strength over time. Every session, set and rep is completed with intent so you keep moving forward.
& Habit Building
Progressive nutrition guidance and habit building designed to fit your life. Sustainable for any fitness level.
& Recovery
Sleep, stress and recovery are part of the program. You'll understand the why behind what you're doing and why your body responds the way it does.
Edward
I've been training since I was 16, starting with a rusty bench and 5kg dumbbells in my garage. I slowly made progress over the years playing oz tag but was making every mistake possible without knowing it.
In 2022 I tore my ACL, MCL and meniscus. My knee quite literally exploded. Rehabbing the injury under a great physio who taught me the real importance of load management, progressive training and actually listening to your body, but in chasing strength and numbers it came at the expense of my mental and physical health because I had no idea about nutrition.
That experience changed everything. Since then I've invested heavily in my education across biomechanics, nutritional science, sleep, stress and recovery because I never want my clients making the same mistakes as I did. I spent my time at Athletes Authority working alongside Australia's best strength and conditioning coaches, training athletes from amateur all the way to professional level. That taught me the difference between knowing something in theory and actually understanding the whole person in front of you.
Now I coach everyday people at Riley's Gym Wentworthville and online. Most of my clients come from South Asian backgrounds, the same as me so I get the culture and the food that comes with it. It's not about giving anything up, it's about balance. I've spent years building a system that gets results while helping people live a lifestyle they can actually sustain.
"Akesh has been incredibly attentive in helping me work through ongoing pain in my knee, back, tailbone and traps, all of which have considerably improved. We are currently working through my proximal hamstring tendinopathy recovery and the same approach applies — targeted programming, regular follow ups and a plan tailored to my exact needs. Would recommend him to anyone dealing with pain or just looking to get stronger."
"I've been training with Akesh for the past 12 weeks and I've gotten so much out of it. I've learnt how to lift properly and safely, and I feel way more confident in the gym in such a short time. Akesh explains everything clearly and you can tell the programming is tailored, so I always know I'm training with purpose. Every session feels on point and there's a perfect balance of encouragement and being pushed to improve. I can't recommend him enough."
"I started training with Akesh as a complete beginner and was quite nervous at first. He was very professional, patient, and supportive, making sure I learned the correct techniques and felt comfortable throughout the process. He started me slowly and gradually increased the intensity as my confidence grew. Thanks to his guidance, I now feel confident working out on my own and would highly recommend him to anyone starting their fitness journey.."
"Akesh is an incredible trainer who truly cares about his clients progress. I came back to training after a long gap and already noticed a massive difference in my strength and stamina. He tailored every session to my specific goals and made sure my form was perfect to avoid injury. If you want results Akesh is the person to see."
"I had 5 great sessions with Akesh and I am very grateful. He helped me learn proper form and made the workouts easy to follow. He motivates you and pays close attention to technique and injury prevention. I left feeling stronger and more confident. Highly recommend."
"I took a 5 session pack with Akesh and he was honestly amazing. He really helped me with my form and customised every session to suit my body and what it's capable of. I felt like he truly listened and worked with me, not just a generic workout plan. There were no awkward moments at all, the sessions felt easy, comfortable and relaxed. I felt comfortable straight away and never felt judged no matter what I did or didn't know. Highly recommend Akesh if you want a supportive, personalised and comfortable training experience."
"Akesh has honestly helped my confidence in the gym so much. When I first started I had no idea how to properly use most of the machines but he took the time to show me everything and always made sure my form was right before increasing weight or pushing me harder. He's super friendly and easy to train with, and if an exercise doesn't feel right he'll always adjust my form or swap it so I'm actually feeling it in the right area. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping people improve and feel comfortable in the gym."
"Working with Akesh has been an absolute pleasure. He is knowledgeable, genuinely cares about your progress and is encouraging every step of the way. The biggest takeaway for me was learning the importance of proper form, which has completely changed how I approach my workouts. I highly recommend Akesh to anyone looking to reach their goals or starting out at the gym for the first time."
