Strength Group Classes
Semi-Private strength & conditioning training.
PERFORM Group Classes at SANO Physio, Brisbane.
Personal training, with a physio coach.
PERFORM Group Classes are semi-private strength and conditioning training for people who want to get stronger with a personal touch. Classes are capped at 4, so you get the coaching and attention of personal training at a lower cost, with the energy of training alongside others.
Every class is coached by a physiotherapist and built around your own strength assessment. It suits runners and endurance athletes, women building strength through every stage of life, busy professionals who want results from limited training time, and anyone who has finished rehab and is ready to progress to performance-based training. Whether you're new to the weights room or already lifting, your program starts where you are.
Unlike gym-based exercise classes, every participant in a PERFORM Group Class at SANO has their own strength & conditioning plan. The group format provides motivation and accountability, with the clinical oversight tailored to your needs.

Your Own Plan within a Shared Space
Every participant enters the class with an individual program developed from their initial assessment. No generic group programs. Specific exercises based on your personal goals with a coach who can adjust your load and correct technique as you go.
Phase-Structured Progression
PERFORM classes follow a structured 6-week block model with progression determined by a clinical criteria, not the calendar. Your physiotherapist tracks your markers, reviewing your progress formally at the end of each block. Physiotherapy appointments may be blended with group classes to optimise your strength and conditioning outcomes, especially when training alongside sports or events like a marathon, triathlon or weekend sport.
Technology-Enhanced Rehabilitation
We may integrate isometric strength testing using VALD Dynamo and Force Decks to objectively measure your progress and guide loading decisions. Exercise support via our Telehab prescription app supports accurate home-based exercises including mobility and stretch programs.
Everything we do is guided by, and in partnership with, you!
