Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Meet Steve
Steve brings together a lifelong passion for sport and movement with years of professional experience in athlete development. A former high-level Rugby Union player for ACT and dedicated surfer and skater, Steve’s early drive for performance evolved into a career in coaching and physical preparation.
Since entering the industry in 2006 with a Certificate IV in Fitness, Steve has gone on to earn a Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science from the University of the Sunshine Coast and become an ASCA Level 1 Strength & Conditioning Coach. His work includes time with elite organisations such as Sunshine Coast Lightning, Falcons Rugby League, and the Grammar Netball Academy, where he specialised in developing athletic performance through structured strength and conditioning programs.
Steve now channels this experience into helping athletes across netball, skateboarding, and beyond reach their full potential. He’s committed to long-term athlete development (LTAD), with a coaching style built on evidence-based methods, clear progress tracking, and a personalised approach for every athlete.
Train with someone who understands the athlete journey.

If you’re looking for that 1% which differentiates you from the rest of the competition, SMS Movement is the way to go. As an emerging young athlete working towards an elite pathway, our daughter has come leaps and bounds with Steve. Steve puts every ounce of thought into developing a personalised program including crafted videos focused specifically to our daughters personal development requirements and sporting goals. Steve is excellent in displaying empathy and sharing her goals and creating a positive environment with an authentic passion and drive for excellence in everything he does. Cannot recommend SMS Movement more highly! Thanks Steve!”

Steve has been my trainer for over 12 months. Accessing my fitness and areas of weakness, Steve designs and manages a program for me to ensure I achieve my goals of managing my weight, staying fit and capable of doing any activity I choose without physical restrictions. The exercise programs are varied focusing on strength, cardio, stretch and mobility, Steve demonstrates technique and keeps a watchful eye on my efforts ! Our sessions are filled with fun banter together with Steve’s knowledgeable explanations of why, what and how, promoting understanding and motivation. I feel that as a female of 57 years and being on the other side of menopause, I am at the top of my game and Steve has played a large part in getting me to this level and keeping me there, for which I am very grateful.

Jesse has been training with Steve for 10 months. His strength and co-ordination has grown so much. We can see the benefits. Jesse enjoys his sessions with Steve, they have a laugh and get along. Jesse is always keen to go to the lessons. Steve is a great role model in Jesse's life. He works so well with Jesse's personality and gives him the encouragement to do his best. It's a great introduction for Jesse into looking after his body with regular fitness and training. Thanks so much, Steve. You do an awesome job.
Nerise
Since training with Steve, I’ve found my overall strength, mobility, and flexibility have noticeably improved - and my joints no longer ache! My posture & function in daily tasks of living have also improved markedly. I strongly endorse his training as the best I’ve had in over 35 years of going to gyms; I’m very grateful for the impact Steve has had on my function & fitness in just six months. The best. Thanks Steve
Ash
Since training with Steve, Bryxton’s progress and love for skating have skyrocketed. She’s doing things we thought would take years, growing stronger and more confident each session. Steve isn’t just a coach he’s a trusted friend to her, which makes all the difference. She looks forward to every Monday morning. Thanks, Steve!

Steve is a real craftsman when it comes to engineering perfectly balanced and scientifically backed full-body training sessions. I feel stronger and full of energy and his workouts have helped to reduce the effects of my 9-5 desk job!
Rhonda
Steve is passionate and very knowledgeable about body movement and I've appreciated the time and care that he has spent listening to me and designing a program that best meets my needs. I feel excited about exercising again.
Teresa
I have been training with Steven for approximately 8 months. What is unique about Steven is that our sessions are so individually tailored. Steven has the extraordinary ability to tap into what I need by creating a combination of core strength and cardio exercises. My mobility, stamina, and core strength together with my ability to transition to heavier weights has been life changing.
Anna
