Our Story
The roots of AthElite Strength & Conditioning run deep in our passion for sports, science, and the unwavering belief in the transformative power of exercise. Our journey began when our founder, Ross Celano, a dedicated sports scientist and seasoned strength and conditioning coach, recognised the need for a comprehensive and evidence-based approach to training on the Bellarine Peninsula.
​
Ross' own experience as a competitive athlete and his thirst for knowledge led him to immerse himself in the world of sports science. Through years of study, research, and practical application, he gained invaluable insights into the intricacies of human performance and the critical role of strength training in unleashing one's true potential.
​
In 2018, armed with a vision to create a cutting-edge fitness facility that combined science with practice, Ross laid the foundation of AthElite Strength & Conditioning. What started as a modest studio gym with a handful of clients quickly grew into a thriving community of athletes and fitness enthusiasts, each striving to reach new heights in their respective disciplines.
​
The success of AthElite Strength & Conditioning can be attributed to our unwavering commitment to staying at the forefront of the industry, constantly evolving our methodologies, and integrating the latest research into our training programs. We believe in a holistic approach to training, understanding that physical performance is not solely about lifting weights, but also about addressing biomechanics, recovery, nutrition, and mental fortitude.
​
Our studio gym, nestled in the Bellarine Peninsula coastal town of Portarlington, has become a hub of innovation and camaraderie. It's a place where athletes of all levels come together to inspire and be inspired, pushing the boundaries of what they once thought possible.
​
AthElite Strength & Conditioning has been privileged to work with athletes from diverse sporting backgrounds, ranging from local talents to national and international level competitors. Witnessing our clients' breakthroughs, podium finishes, and personal achievements drives us to keep pushing the envelope and raising the bar in the world of sports performance.
