Introducing, the one and only, Greg Dea .

Most of you know Greg as The Phys. But what you may not know, is that The Phys is also an internationally accomplished coach. He has over 20 years experience in elite sports in both the Coaching and Sports Physiotherapy setting. Giving him an unprecedented (word of 2020) understanding of human movement, rehabilitation and athletic development.

Here's a bit of self-praise (which we love) from the man himself

I have extensive experience in multiple training centre environments and field settings in multiple sports and have delivered instruction to athletes, and coaches on technical and tactical principles both domestically and internationally. Many of these roles have been in some of the harshest environments where the challenges of deadlines, pressure, language, culture, and scarcity of resources brought out exceptional results to achieve a World Cup and Olympic Gold.

From tomorrow, Greg will be joining our Coaching ranks.

He will be in charge of Monday & Thursday Morning Coaching shifts, which means our VAD & VGT Athletes will all have access to one of the best, most accomplished Coaches on the pen link/ in the world.

I can't underestimate how much of an opportunity this is to learn from and be coached by one of the very best. If you're currently a member of Virtus Group Training or Virtus Athletic Development , you're in for a real treat.

If you're not a current member of Virtus but you're interested in being coached by Coach Greg and the rest of our incredible coaching staff, hit reply to this email and we will help you get where you want to be.

The Phys will of course continue to offer his world-class Sports Physiotherapy outside his coaching shifts. If you need a Diagnosis, Treatment or some Phys quality TLC you can contact him via his mobile 0400 335 891.

Obviously, there will be no manual therapy provided during Greg's Coaching Sessions however he will be able to give you exercise-based treatment and advice until the cows come home.

What a time to be alive

At Virtus Performance, everything we do, from our coaching to our programming, is built on three key foundations: Enjoyment, Consistency, and Progress. Combined with built-in feedback loops, these principles ensure constant evolution, athlete buy-in, and results that last. Humans are complex, adaptive systems, always changing and responding to our environment. At the same time, we are also simple beings. We repeat the things we enjoy and the things that help us improve. That is why these three factors sit at the heart of Virtus coaching. 1. Enjoyment: Training You Actually Want to Do If training feels like punishment, you will eventually stop. Willpower can only carry you so far. That is why at Virtus, we design world-class strength and conditioning programs that are challenging, but also fun, rewarding, and engaging. Enjoyment is fuelled by our community. You will connect with others, laugh, and celebrate wins along the way. Training becomes more than just another task. It becomes one of the best parts of your week. 2. Consistency: The Secret to Real Change The people who achieve their goals are not always the most talented. They are the ones who keep showing up. Consistency is the real secret sauce in strength and conditioning. At Virtus, we do not just coach. We educate. You will learn why the work matters, how to fit training into a busy life, and how to build habits that stick. Through accountability and support, we help you keep turning up week after week, so results compound over time. 3. Progress: Becoming More Capable Progress fuels motivation. When you can see and feel change, you want to keep going. Whether it is lifting heavier, moving better, running faster, or simply feeling stronger and more capable in your own skin, progress is what drives long-term commitment. That is why our coaching emphasises performance. With structured programs, regular testing weeks, and goal reviews, we ensure you are not just training. You are evolving. At Virtus, we believe in continual improvement. Every program includes feedback loops: testing, reflection, and goal setting that ensure your training adapts as you do. This process creates genuine athlete buy-in because you see and feel the results of your work. Our philosophy is simple. Training should help you do more of the things you love, in a stronger and more capable way. By combining Enjoyment, Consistency, and Progress with our pillars of Community, Education, and Performance, Virtus coaching sets the foundation for long-term success. That is Virtus. That is Better Every Day. Ready to dive in and experience Virtus? If you are ready to enjoy your training, build consistency, and make real progress, come and see what Virtus Performance can do for you. Book a free intro session!

To be a self transforming individual, that being someone who can observe without judgement. Detach from the result, and accept that the truth is more important than being right.

Whatever you have or don?t have, whatever goals you achieve or don?t achieve, whichever frustrations or excitements you are currently experiencing in your life, all of it, its your fault. Whoever you are, its your fault.
