Chase Health & Performance
Private 1:1 & semi-private coaching in Grafton, Auckland & remote. Built to develop your competency, not your reliance.
Start a conversation →I coach a small number of people closely. No templates, no apps standing in for a coach. I build a programme around your goals and how you move, adjust it in real time based on feedback.
We talk about what you’re after, then look at how you move, what’s held you back, and how you like to operate. The first session is free.
An individual programme built specifically for you, coached directly on the floor and adjusted in real time.
I aim to develop your autonomy. Over time, you run more of your training yourself with a coach still across every detail.
Different programmes, the same coach and the same standard. Regardless of whether you’re on the floor in Grafton or training remotely.
Getting stronger, moving better, and building a body that holds up.
Training built around what your sport, or your next event, needs.
Semi-private
Semi-private sessions are supervised hours on the floor. Everyone in the room is working through their own individual programme and I’m there the whole time to watch, cue, and adjust. It isn’t a class: nobody is being led through the same workout.
One coach, on the floor
Most people start with a foundations term which is a weekly 1:1 where we build your technique and teach you how to train. From there the floor becomes your home, and you come as often as 3x per week.

All training runs in my private Grafton facility, on your own schedule, with a coach on the floor. Every option begins with a conversation. These prices are a guide, not a checkout.
Individual programme · Supervised floor access · Direct coach contact
Train when it suits you, with a coach on the floor to watch, cue, and adjust. The long-term home for people who train independently but want eyes on them.
A 3-month foundations term at $499/mo, then $599 month to month.
Everything in semi-private · Weekly 1:1 coaching
A dedicated one-to-one each week — the fastest way to build technique, learn how to actually train, and get the programme dialled. Most people start here for three to six months.
Everything in semi-private · Two weekly 1:1s
The highest-touch option. Primarily for athletes in a focused build, or anyone who wants maximum dedicated coaching time on the floor.
Individual programming and ongoing remote coaching, built around your history, equipment, and schedule. Regular programme adjustment and direct access to me. Real coaching behind your training, not a plan to follow alone.
A private studio at 19 Auburn Street, Grafton. No open gym floor, no crowds. Sessions are capped at five, so it’s you, me, and at most four others training. I’ll send parking and entry details once we lock in your first session.
No. Everything starts with a conversation and an evaluation, so the programme meets you exactly where you are. Most new clients begin with the foundations term which is a weekly 1:1 where you build technique and learn how to train before running more sessions on your own.
I recommend 2-3 strength training sessions per week, and your programme will be built around whatever schedule you choose. There’s no per-session charge on a membership, so the number is a coaching decision rather than a billing one. We set it around your schedule, your recovery, and what you’re building toward.
The timetable is live, so what’s on it is what’s actually open this week. Hours are still growing. I open new sessions as the floor fills, so if nothing on there fits around your work, say so when you enquire. Knowing when people actually need to train is how I decide what to put on next.
It’s half the practice. Returning from injury is one of the main reasons people see me. We assess what’s going on, train around it where we need to, and build back past it. If something needs a clinician or specialist first, I’ll tell you straight.
Semi-private membership runs month to month. The one exception is the foundations term, which is a three-month commitment. That’s about how long it takes to build consistent technique and get your programme right, and cutting it short doesn’t do the job. After that you’re month to month. Travel, a heavy season at work, an off-season: we talk and adjust rather than you losing what you’ve paid for.
Remote coaching available anywhere. An individual programme through my coaching app, with review and direct contact between sessions. Same coaching, except with your equipment and schedule.
…and what you’re after. If it’s a fit, we’ll talk. No pressure, no checkout — just a conversation.

About Sam
I’ve spent the last decade coaching people one at a time. Athletes chasing a season, professionals rebuilding after years at a desk, and everyone in between. Most of that has happened on a private floor, where I can watch every rep and adjust in the moment.
Along the way: ASCA Level 2 accreditation, applied strength & conditioning work in national-level team environments, and a PhD in progress in Sport & Exercise Science, developing new methods for athletic assessment.
The through-line has never changed: training built around the person in front of me, and coaching that makes you more capable, not more dependent.
Remote coaching
Remote is the same coaching, minus the shared floor — an individual programme that keeps evolving, not a PDF you’re left alone with.
It starts the same way everything here does: a conversation, then an evaluation over video. From there your programme lives in my coaching app — every session laid out with video demonstrations, and a place to log your lifts, film your sets, and leave notes as you train.
I review your videos and training data as they come in, adjust the programme in response, and stay in direct contact between sessions. You train on your schedule, with your equipment — the thinking behind the training is mine.

This place has an incredible vibe. The operator, Sam, is highly knowledgeable, positive and a genuinely nice guy. Highly recommend checking Chase out for yourself.David F.Videographer
Sam is awesome! I love that I know why I am doing the particular exercises, that they are designed specifically for my goals and I’m not wasting my time. Sam definitely knows what he is talking about, which is really important to me and that we manage to have a few laughs along the way!Di B.Career Advisor
Sam is an amazing strength coach and it’s been awesome working with him. He’s got an incredible depth of knowledge. I’m consistently breaking new ground with him and I’ve been training for years before. It’s so much faster training with Sam. 11/10 would recommend.Hamish G.Property Valuer
Jody M.Cleaning Company OwnerIf you’re looking for a strength & conditioning coach who knows his stuff, I can’t recommend Sam highly enough.
His knowledge is outstanding, his coaching is practical, and he’ll have you moving so well your knees might stop sounding like a bowl of Rice Bubbles every time you stand up.
He somehow makes “just one more rep” seem like a great idea, all while genuinely caring about helping people get stronger, move better, and reach their goals.
If you want results, a few laughs, and happier knees, Sam’s your guy.
In their words
Sam has an exceptional ability to tailor training to individual goals, combining deep technical knowledge with a clear focus on movement quality. He knows how to challenge me in the right way, whether pushing performance boundaries or refining technique to prevent injury.Merle MaudTriathlete · Ironman NZ AG Winner
Training with Sam, I truly found out what it took to not only get bigger, but stronger and faster at the same time. Sessions were tough, however I immediately began to notice results. By the time squad testing came around, my primary lifts and all power metrics had improved significantly.Eiden A.Rugby League
