"I have worked with Greg for over a decade utilising his incredible skills in biomechanics, functional movement, core and stability. Greg has helped me gain awareness around my movement patterns that allows me to get the most out of my body for my performance on the water. I am always working on the fundamentals of movement to ensure that I have longevity in sport and I also want to be able look after my body for life after sport".

"bioSPORT helped me to adapt my cycling position to be the most efficient and aerodynamic for my body. Greg worked hard to examine my physical imbalances so that we could develop a gym program to work on these weaknesses. This program made me stronger to hold this new position making the transition as efficient as possible.
I loved working with bioSPORT because we developed a bike fit that not only made me more efficient but also more comfortable on and off my bike!"

"We had been searching for an expert to help us with bike fits for a long time. We wanted more than just a fitting service, we wanted a partnership that could help us work with our clients so they could ride as efficiently and effectively as possible and produce the most power while being aerodynamic and injury free and strong.
Greg at bioSPORT was the answer to all these questions and more.
Greg had the background and skills in body movement and biomechanics to set up our riders be effective with their current body movement capabilities but more importantly prescribe on and off the bike exercises that would improve their bodies interaction, effectiveness and efficiency on the bike and allow for more aggressive and aerodynamic positions over time.
Greg is a delight to work with and puts our clients at ease as they work through the process. Importantly it is an ongoing process where we work in conjunction with Greg over time to progress the riders fit, biomechanics and issues or requirements as they arise. For us and our lcients it is a partnership throughout their cycling journey.
Greg has worked with a full range of our clients from juniors all the way through to World Tour professionals. The improvements we have seen with these athletes is nothing short of amazing and in some cases career saving.
If you want the best then you need Greg."

"When it comes to performance in long-distance triathlon, there are two essential components. 1. staying injury-free, and 2. being as efficient and economical as possible. After all, it's not about how fast we go; it's about how easily we do it. Greg Pain understands functional movement, and it's the application to achieving an injury-free and efficient movements like nobody I have ever met. Greg's knowledge and programming of specific exercises to address specific weaknesses on an individual basis, within swim, bike and run, have been fundamental to my success in Ironman Triathlon."

"My son, aged 16 at the time, came to see Greg with severe lower back pain from rowing. The pain was so extreme he was unable to train and had difficulty walking or standing for long periods of time. We had been to multiple specialists, physios and chiropractors to try and rectify the issue with little positive result. At the first session, Greg immediately understood what was causing Tom’s pain and worked with him to strengthen weakened areas of his body in order to support his lower back and prevent further injury and pain. Greg ensured Tom eased back into a suitable training programme which increased over time according to pain levels, and worked with Tom’s coaches to ensure everyone was aligned with his treatment plan. Within months Tom was able to train and compete with little pain and - 10 months on - is currently at peak rowing season training 10+ sessions a week with zero pain. Something we weren’t sure he was going to be able to achieve again.
Aside from his obvious incredible skill and expertise, Greg has a wonderful demeanour which inspired hope and confidence in our son. He is great at explaining complex scientific information in a simplified form and provided us with regular updates along Tom’s recovery journey. We absolutely recommend Greg and thank him for all of the work he has done to get our son back into a sport he is so passionate about." Debra, Tom's mum.

"When Greg looks at an athlete he doesn’t just see a runner, cyclist nor walker, he sees a pattern of movement and muscles working (or not working) together to propel you forward. He can pinpoint areas of weakness you didn’t know about and work with you to strengthen and engage these muscles so you can become more efficient and pain free. With Greg’s knowledge and expertise, we are working together to improve my running efficiency – essentially becoming stronger and faster with less effort. If you want to improve and set yourself up for long term success then Greg is your secret weapon to achieve this."

"There is a reason why so many top athletes go to Greg - he’s simply the best at what he does. Greg is very thorough with his assessments, he takes the time to properly show you what is going on with your body and how to correct the issues with well thought out exercises specific to your sport. I’ve been to a large number of people over the years and Greg is one that still stands out as one of the best. I would recommend Greg to any athlete, but especially any athlete at a high level where winning and losing is decided by a matter of seconds or for a young athlete wanting to learn proper technique from day one."
NATASJA BARCLAY: 4TH IN AGE GROUP AT KONA IRONMAN WORLD CHAMPS ‘19
"I have trained with Greg now for a number of years but during the last 12 months we have been working specifically on my hamstring niggle and building my leg and core strength to stay injury free. Greg’s training sessions are challenging, varied, very specific and I love that he adopts a mix of plyometrics, reformer and weights. Greg has a natural eye for form and movement and has been able to make some great postural adjustments with specific strength training which has kept me injury free and excelled my triathlon racing. I highly recommend Greg for general strength and conditioning training, those wanting to address a persistent injury or for athletes looking for a competitive edge and preventing injuries."

"I have been working with Greg for many years now, in various capacities....for my own development and for strength and conditioning goals for my athletes.
I can honestly say that I have complete confidence in Greg's depth of knowledge, his ability to understand the athlete, the way he relates to athletes and how he forms a plan to fix a problem. And if he doesn't know what the problem is he works through a systematic process to figure it out and form a management plan.
Greg is my 'Go To Guy' for me, or if I have an athlete who is struggling to take their performance to the next level."

"Years ago, I walked in to Greg Pain's office with a totally broken body on many levels. My health was in a sorry state. My biomechanics were a disaster. I was completely focused on business and fully neglecting my body. Greg immediately got to work on my body and within months I was running triathlons. Flash forward a decade later and I'm 51 years of age doing gymnastics and MMA training. If Greg hadn't turned my life around, I don't know where I'd be right now. I may not have even survived."
