Meet the D8 Coaching Team

Founder / Head Coach

Hi, I’m Neven, the founder of D8 Training. I believe consistency is the key to getting what you want – in training and in life. No quick fixes, no magic bullets. The sooner you stop chasing instant results and accept that you can achieve almost anything with honest work, the happier you’ll be.

My motto since starting D8 has been simple:

• Show up
• Do the work
• Have fun along the way

Client Experience & Operations

Hi, I’m Ann‑Marie, the Client Experience Officer at D8 Training. My background is in project and program management, and I use that every day to make sure your experience with D8 feels organised, personal and easy to follow.



From your first enquiry and fit call through to memberships, payments and check‑ins, I want you to feel like you always know what’s happening next and that someone is looking out for you behind the scenes.

Strength & Performance Coach

Hi, I’m Dan, a Strength & Performance Coach at D8 Training. I have an Exercise Science background and ASCA coaching qualifications, and I’ve spent a lot of time working with both field‑sport athletes and everyday adults.

I believe being strong and resilient matters for sport and for life. My coaching style is structured, honest and technique‑focused – I’ll push you, but I won’t let your form fall apart. I want you to understand why you’re doing what you’re doing so you can own your training long term, not just copy a workout.

Strength & Performance Coach

Hi, I’m Brooke, a Strength & Performance Coach at D8 Training with degrees in Exercise & Sport Science and Nutrition & Food Science. My focus is helping people of all ages get stronger, move better and feel more confident in the gym.

My coaching style is hands‑on, positive and technique‑driven. I want sessions to feel welcoming and challenging at the same time – especially for people who don’t see themselves as “gym people”. I care a lot about creating an environment where kids, teens and adults feel safe to work hard, ask questions and learn.

Strength & Performance Coach

Hi, I’m Stephen, a Strength & Performance Coach at D8 Training. I have a background in athletic performance and I love using strength training to help juniors, athletes and everyday adults move better, get stronger and feel more confident in the gym.

My coaching style is high‑energy, positive and technique‑focused. I’ve dealt with my own injuries and setbacks as an athlete, so I care a lot about well‑progressed training, that feels challenging but appropriate to the level of the individual. I want sessions to be fun and encouraging, while still pushing you to work hard and keep improving.

JuniorGym Coach

Hi, I’m Finn, a JuniorGym Coach at D8 Training. I’m a qualified group trainer currently studying my Certificate IV in Fitness, with a strong background in sport and strength training.

I’ve dealt with my fair share of injuries and setbacks over the years, which has given me a real appreciation for safe training, good technique and the mental side of sport. I care a lot about helping juniors build confidence in the gym, learn how to move well, and see the progress that comes from consistent hard work.
