I had an amazing experience with the football fitness program. Prior to the programme I was having trouble with niggling injuries for example hip back and groin tightness.

I had an amazing experience with the football fitness program. Prior to the programme I was having trouble with niggling injuries for example hip back and groin tightness. I was also aiming to drop a few kg and increase my mobility and stamina. The app itself was really user friendly and I had regular check ins and support from Gaz who was a great help. The app was also integrated with my fitness pal and really helped me track and understand what I was eating and what macros I should be hitting to be at peak performance levels on training days and match days. I'm really delighted with the results during and post program. I lost approx 4 kilos while increasing my lifting strength week on week. I'm now having no problems with my hip, back or groin. I feel 10 times fitter on the pitch and couldn't be happier with the results of this program. Less

Working with Gary has been one of the best decisions I have made in my soccer career. His program has been a game-changer in both my personal and soccer life. Since starting in early January 2024, I have felt consistently strong both on and off the field. Gary's insights into nutrition, recovery, and tailored gym exercises have been invaluable. You won't find these kinds of exercises in any franchise program on the market. I can attest to the transformative effects of Gary's program. I have never felt as physically strong as I do now. Even when afternoon fatigue sets in, I can manage the rest of the day without feeling exhausted. If you are serious about making positive life changes and improving your overall health and wellbeing, then I highly recommend joining Football Fitness AU. Plans are flexible and you can choose the one that best suits your needs. I am confident you will not regret it! Less

Can't recommend highly enough! I had a goal of dropping 5kg over an 8-12 week period... Gary helped me understand (from both an exercise and nutritional standpoint) what needed to be done while also keeping it simple! At the end of the program, I'd lost 7kg down and felt stronger than I can remember.

Working with Gary has been excellent. I’ve been able to achieve my goal of gaining 7kg and now feel energised and explosive when training. Been an a great experience

Excellent program delivered by a fantastic coach! Gary was knowledgeable, responsive and helpful. I was able to be honest about my goals and manage my workouts in accordance with my schedule. I feel much fitter and healthier as a result of the program and it has set me up well for the coming season.

Best around. I hadn’t been training properly or looking after myself since I had my son 2 years ago but Gary made the program so easy to follow, stick to the diet and workouts that had me drop 7kg and feel the strongest I’ve been in years.

Gary was a great help getting my fitness back for the season after a year out. He got me in great shape in a short period of time. I would highly recommend him if you’re looking to get into good shape and improve your fitness.

Gaz was instrumental in helping my son return from injury back to fitness and stronger that before by educating him on gym work on fitness training. Highly recommend. .

From simply doing one session with Gary, you are really able to tell that he has an extensive amount of knowledge about football and its components. It’s not only his knowledge that makes him a great coach, it’s also his personality that allows him to better understand players and their situations.

Gaz helped me gain hip mobility and start pre season sharper than ever! Thanks to his program and advise I feel great and for the first time in my last 3 pre seasons I have no more knee pain

Highly recommend Gary for players who want to improve their game by getting sharper, leaner and building that football fitness to get you ready for 90 minutes of action.

Highly recommend Gary for players who want to improve their game by getting sharper, leaner and building that football fitness to get you ready for 90 minutes of action. The pre-season program was well structured over its 6 week timeline and each week you are building on the fundamentals of football fitness whilst also improving your explosiveness. The program includes work on and off the ball. Additionally the program factors in your pre-season schedule with your club and how to manage the training schedule for best effect for improvements and recovery. Gym program that comes in the Football Fitness app is also a great plus in building your muscle base off the pitch. Gary is very much in the detail and aims to make everyone's time worthwhile with the program. Well educated trainer and authentic as can be. Will be back again. Less

The best in the business, has massively helped me in focusing more on my body such as gym programs, nutrition guidelines, recovery methods, load, and giving me the best possible tools that i can implement daily to increase my Performance levels in the simplest way. Can’t express how much Gary has helped me over the last 12 months or so, would highly recommend.

Gaz from football fitness is simply a legend. He’s an authentic and trustworthy character that provides a very clear and structured training program that is tailored for you on and off the pitch. He sets up sessions that make you feel like you’ve taken something from it and make you feel like you’ve improved.

In addition, he goes above and beyond by providing support on and off the field as he will communicate and check in with you regularly. Theres no doubt in my mind as well as many others, that Gaz and Football Fitness, will be able to get you the results you desire. Thanks gaz 💪 Less

His deep knowledge and understand of exercise physiology, nutrition and mindset, coupled with his unrivaled passion for football benefits anyone who has the privilege of working with him. The importance of having someone on your team that “knows” football can’t be understated and Gary knows football. He makes doing the hard yards easy and keeps everything relevant to football. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to improve and take their game to the next level. Less

I personally had one of the best seasons I’ve had in my years playing football and went through the season with no injuries. Keeping up with the in-season program. Looking forward to getting a start on the off season program for this year. Couldn’t recommend him more. Less

Christian had a great time working with Gary over two days. Clear instruction, new drills, enjoyable environment. Thanks for having him

Really pleased took alot on board from the sprint training hopefully I can put it to practice and it improves my game

My teen has trained with Gary on a few occasions – he loves the sessions and says he has used the techniques learnt in his games. Gary has a great rapport with the kids and makes their training fun and effective.

Quality coaching, very unique style in developing the player. Would 100% recommend giving Gary a go if wanting to get to that next level.

Gary Rafferty is a master of his craft. Let's put aside his massive knowledge of the game and the development of players. The true mastery is in his ability to work within the mindset of the player, creating the training environment to enable the physicality to be expressed.

Gary Rafferty is a master of his craft. Let's put aside his massive knowledge of the game and the development of players. The true mastery is in his ability to work within the mindset of the player, creating the training environment to enable the physicality to be expressed. Thus, creating a loop of feed-back to fine-tuning and back again. It was evident, even after the first session, there was an instant improvement in my Son's speed and agility. Imagining what my Son will be capable of after a dozen+ sessions. If you are reading this review, then you must be contemplating engaging an S&C coach. Make contact, book a session and work with Gary unlock yours/your child's true potential. Less

I have loved training with Gary he is full of knowledge. Since training with Gary for the past 2 seasons I have noticed I'm fitter and sharper on the football pitch. Not only has he got me fit for the pitch he also taught me correct running techniques, improved my speed and given me a better insight on how to improve my endurance when im training alone.

Gary is a truly unique coach and has inspired me to become better. His support to my program has been paramount to the success of what my players have achieved. Gary has helped develop players into the professional ranks of football and without his expertise, these lads would be struggling. Simply put, ‘that football guy’ is at the pinnacle of his industry, and it’s an absolute pleasure having him work with me. Less

App is easy to use and understand. Great features and easy to follow instructions to complete and keep track of scheduled sessions. Thanks Gary for the continued support and development.

Gary has been great at keeping my strength and fitness levels high which helps me stay on the field and injury free, as well as helping me with pre and post match meal guides, for peak performance.

Great coach and training. Highly recommend if you wanna improve your fitness level.

Gary supplied us an appropriate plan specifically suited to my sons needs. Gary was great to deal with always in contact throughout the program and assisted in whatever way was needed. Can highly reccomend Gary.

Gary is the best and most professional s&c coach that I’ve worked with, his sessions focus on what the players need and how to optimally improve them in all aspects of speed, agility, strength etc. overall great coach and great guy

Gary’s been an integral part of our football club for the last 18 months. He’s helped me in getting my body weight and skin-folds down as well assisting me with in-season strength and conditioning training.

Great programs with even better personal assistance

Gary is a top professional S&C coach with a wealth of knowledge and passion for football. He always pushes players to reach their maximum potential in the session.

Gary is easily the best Strength and Conditioning coach i’ve had, he has helped me improve on and off the pitch and would highly recommend for anyone looking to improve on their game.

Top professionalism and great sessions. Improving my fitness and sharpness week in and week out.

Have always valued and used the advice I’ve received from Gary. The way it’s delivered online or directly to me is always easy to follow and understand. The focus on the small details is something I really appreciate, as it’s always about the little extras. Will continue to read and learn from the content posted, whether that be diet, physical performance or mindset.

Gary shows great knowledge of the game from a technical and physical perspective. He offers next level service that is specific to your needs as a player. Highly recommend 👌

Excellent coach ! Really knows his stuff, very helpful, provides all the data needed to get you stronger, fitter and sharper to play !!! The program gary provided for me after my injury got me back playing and feeling a lot more confident on pitch !! Top class 6 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have gone through a number of different programs with him; trying to gain muscle, increase power and lose weight. Each time, I have seen results and more importantly, I have felt better and more confident come game day. Currently on my way back from a serious shoulder injury, Gary has been invaluable in my recovery process. He has given me programs to do that are challenging, and will have me in decent nick when given the all clear to return to training. All of Gary's programs are easy to follow and going to the gym becomes enjoyable as I am able to see and feel results as the weeks go by. He takes in to account all other aspects of my life and designs my programs around my work and football commitments which makes it manageable. Truly the best in the business for getting results and feeling good come game day. Less

Highly recommended! Gaz helped me get in the best physical shape and fitness level that I have been in.

He has been so helpful and insightful when I have questions to do with nutrition, fitness or movements mechanics. His knowledge is second to none. You’re doing yourself a disservice if you are not training with him. Ever since I have started his program my strength, mobility and movement mechanics have improved drastically. I wish started his program sooner Less

Thanks to Gary, I made massive improvements on all aspects of my game. My personalised gym and on-field programs were made perfectly to fit my schedule. Super motivating, sport specific and would highly recommend anyone looking to improve their performance!!!

I have been with Gary for a while now, and there is nothing but positives. The dedication and the standards he sets for all aspects of the training is unbelieveable. I highly recomend him if you want to take your footballing career to the next level.

I’ve been working with Gary for approximately 5 months I have seen major improvements in my fitness and improved speed both in short and long distances He also offers gym and dietary advice and sessions He is a great mentor and I would recommend him to any aspiring athlete for both pre season preparation and in season work.

Gary is probably one of the best strength and conditioning coaches in Sydney. Has helped my nephew so much. Gary knows each and every strengths of the child. He works closely with them, videos them and shows them what to do and how to do it. Highly recommended . Thanks again for all ur help and dedication.

Super awesome to work with. Always bringing good vibes and incredible sports performance expertise to the team environment. A joy to work with!!!
