At Shire Spine & Sport, our strength & conditioning programs are built for people who want more than just exercise.

What is Strength + Conditioning?
S&C is not personal training. It is a professional modality focused on improving physical performance; reducing injury risk; developing strength, power, speed, endurance and capacity whilst preparing the body for sport, work or life demands.
Proper S&C is Planned, Periodised, Tested, Individualised
No random workouts, no generic circuits.
S&C vs Personal Training
While both involve exercise, the intent and structure are very different.
*Please note, this is not an attack on personal training and does not speak for all PTs, as there are many outstanding personal trainers, especially in the Shire!
Typically PT focuses on general fitness, weight loss/muscle gain and motivation and accountability.
Strength and conditioning focuses on performance outcomes, injury resilience, load management, athletic development, long term progression and sports specific training.
Who is it for?
Our S&C programs are suited to:
Athletes (junior to elite)
Recreational sports participants
Golfers and rotational athletes
Swimmers/water sports participants (dry land training)
People returning from injury who want a deeper level of understanding
Active adults wanting to train properly
Anyone who wants a definite plan!
If you have ever though that you train hard but don’t feel any different, and want to follow a proper plan… This is for you.
Testing and Assessment
Every athlete or client begins with objective performance testing and is re-tested before each block. Testing may include:
Strength and power output
Force and asymmetry profiling
Capacity and endurance measure
Movement quality screening
Return to sport readiness
This allows us to:
Identify specific weakness and imbalances
Track progress objectively
Adjust programs intelligently
Reduce injury risk
Prove in real time whether a program is working or not
Training without testing is guessing. We don’t guess. And we incorporate the industry gold standard, VALD Performance equipment, into all decisions.
Individualised Training
No two people are the same – so no two programs should be.
Each program is tailored based on:
Your goals
Your sport/activity
Injury history
Current capacity
Test results
Training age.
Programs are structured in blocks, each one serving a clear purpose – not random sessions thrown together week to week.
Why you should train with us
If you want training that has a clear purpose, based on data that is tailored to actually make YOU better, this is the place for you. This is strength and conditioning done properly.
