COACHING ZONE
Sydney-siders will soon have the chance to train with some of the biggest names in footy in a new, high-tech way when the first ‘Coaching Zone’ studio in NSW opens on July 3. Only the second stand alone training space of its kind in Australia, the new small group training studio at Five Dock will be owned and operated by the footy trio Todd Liubinskas, Bronson Harrison and Shane McLeod who currently run Complete Strength & Performance.
Coaching Zone uses a high-tech, Bluetooth heart rate system that allows locals to track their workout and ensure they are working at the right intensity in order to achieve results. Once the session is over, clients can take the heart rate monitor home, download the app and track all of their training both inside and outside the studio walls.
