‘When looking for a mentor for my sons who could prepare them for a long life of physical activity, I wanted someone with a holistic approach to athlete development.
Having played a long time at an elite level myself, I am acutely aware how important a robust, durable body is.
Mason takes the time to get things right. He is meticulous with his programs which are individualised and accessible, and he meets regularly to review, adjust and update. He is always available if needed, but my sons are able to work through his programs on their own in our home gym. They send him video so he can comment on form and make adjustments as needed.
Mase has their complete trust with their athletic goals, and my complete trust and gratitude for his knowledge, professional attitude and personable style.’ Rupert Sapwell

‘Approaching Mason to prescribe a strength program specific to my needs as a triathlete has been a very rewarding and seamless process. Mason is very adaptable and professional in his approach, providing excellent screening, programming and exercise delivery. Following Mason’s program I have found many benefits, specifically:
· We have achieved and maintained positive improvements in my mobility, particularly through my thoracic spine and hip.
· Through regular exercises which target movements and muscle groups that I use swimming, biking and running, I can say that I do feel stronger through the pull in my swimming stroke, very compact and ready to push hard on the bike without getting back pain which I had previously experienced and very stable running thanks to an improvement in hip and core stability.
· Reduction in injury rate despite increases in load
Mason’s ability to provide such a well-suited strength program that supplemented my program as a triathlete was outstanding and is a testament to his complex knowledge of the human body. I have no doubt that my recent personal bests are attributable to the specificity that Mason’s program provides and I look forward to continue working with him.’

'Mason’s passion for helping young athletes improve shines through in every training session. His vibrant personality makes it easy to give maximum effort and as a result get the most benefit out of each session.
There is no shortcut to getting stronger, quicker or fitter although Mason has an ability to include an element of fun in each session making it easier to get through the tougher parts of training.
With Mason I am always challenged to push outside of my comfort zone, ensure great technique inside the gym and leave every session feeling better for it.
I have never met someone more passionate about their job and this really reflects on the person Mason is. Whatever your skill level or goals, contact Mason at The Athlete Movement. I highly recommend him as a coach and couldn’t ask for anyone better.'

'Preparation for college sport is extremely daunting, after many months of planning my own training, my results were not what I expected and I got concerned that I would not be ready in time. I had a number of benchmarks that I needed to meet, so I reached out to Mason to help me achieve my goals.
Since training with Mason I have felt the best I’ve ever been and my results are only going up. He is incredibly passionate, approachable and extremely knowledgeable; the work he puts in behind the scenes to maximise your results is second to none.
Mason’s hard work, motivation and elite knowledge has shaped me into the player I am today. If you’re looking to improve your game, no matter what level you are currently at, I highly recommend you reach out to The Athlete Movement.'

'It is very rare that you get a combination of PASSION, SPECIFIC training, KNOWLEDGE and RESULTS all through one trainer whilst having FUN, but with Mason you get all of that and so much more!
I met Mason through the work he does with Basketball SA in the National Intensive Training Program (NITP). It was only until I reached out to him personally, that my on court performance went to the next level. Mason is the reason I have become A LOT stronger physically and mentally through his specific workouts.
Mason’s injury prevention strategies are also first class, as enduring 9 ankle injuries in 5 months, turned into 0 ankle injures in 5 months after his workouts! To be completely transparent, you are not going to find a better trainer in South Australia. Reach out to Mason like I did, and I promise you that there will be results!'

'No matter what training or sport you participate in, if you want to lose/gain weight or become quicker and stronger - talk to Mason. This is all I heard whilst being a part of the National Intensive Training Program (NITP) for basketball in Adelaide.
Mason is very approachable, easy to talk to, and a great guy. He is passionate about what he does and very interested in helping others achieve their individual goals. The training style he implies is hard work, but at the same time a lot of fun. Get ready to push your limits every time you train with Mason!'

'I have played basketball ever since I could walk, but had my career struck down through injury from not taking care of my body. For the last 7 years I have had chronic knee injuries from overuse. I tried all sorts of physio’s, chiro’s and gym routines to help me fix it, but I never could.
I reached out to Mason and The Athlete Movement as a last ditch effort. I had a timeline and a goal to play in a week long Australasian Basketball Tournament. Mason not only helped me reach my goal within the timeline, but he helped me play basketball pain free for the first time in 7 years.
Mason helped me understand the importance of moving properly to get the most out of my body. From Mason’s program, I feel the best I ever have. I would highly recommend anyone looking to improve, recover from injury or just take their game to the next level, to contact The Athlete Movement!'

‘I had the pleasure of training with Mason in the gym every week in 2015 up until my departure to the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) in 2016.
Mason was really fun to work with, he knew a lot about myself as an individual and he understood what I needed to do in order to improve my game. I learned correct technique in the gym and gained the necessary muscle mass to be able to handle bigger bodies in the paint.
I really enjoyed the training and got a lot out of working with Mason particularly in a one on one setting. He is fairly laid-back but also demands that you work hard. I strongly recommend training with Mason if you want to learn how to move more efficient both in the gym and on the court'.
