OUR STORY //
WHY JAP STARTED
Since childhood, Marcus has been passionate about running and athletics, achieving success in junior sports with numerous accolades in football and track and field. At 15, he began weightlifting without proper guidance, and by 17, noticed a decline in his football performance, compounded by persistent lower back pain, which led to a waning interest in pursuing his AFL dreams.
A decade later, at 26, he made a return to playing his best football with four years of hypertrophy training. This sparked a deeper journey into athlete training for peak performance, leading him to Melbourne for coaching in human movement and biomechanics, and Ludus Sports Performance in Perth, where he refined skills in speed, strength, endurance, and agility. His search for knowledge, inspired by lingering back pain, led to an in-depth study of human anatomy, especially the pelvis. This solidified his belief that athletes require a strong foundation of balance, posture, and biomechanics. After earning his Certificate 4 in Exercise Fitness, he launched Jackson Athletic Performance to impact aspiring athletes in the South West.

FAQS
-
You can find breakdowns of how training at JAP will take place all throughout this website, If you would prefer a phone conversation to have it laid out in simple terms for your personal requirements you can contact Marcus on 0419909321.
-
We will work with the athlete's schedule as to what days they will train and program it in individual to their situation. We will also advise on what other parts of their schedule we would recommend removing or rearranging to help get them from where they are to where they want to be, this is just advice and up to the athlete's discretion. In the off-season new athletes will start on 3 sessions per week and will have to earn the right to receive a more comprehensive program by hitting 85% or above of their program.
-
Alongside weekly programming athletes will be able to contact their coach if they have any questions or concerns regarding their program as well as any questions pertaining to health, fitness and preparation for their chosen sport.
-
Our membership program as well as progress gym membership is a non-lock in contract. No joining fees and no exit fees apply. We like to let our results do the talking and most athletes are eager to continue once they see the difference this kind of training can make to their field or court based performance. Clients can leave at any time however we do require payment up until the end of their current 4 week training blocks (refer to terms of service section). We do ask as a courtesy that members receive 2 months of training before deciding to call it quits - this is not enforced though.
-
Individual results may vary however most of our consistent members will notice a sudden improvement during the first month, this then levels out until 6-10 months in where they will see a major breakthrough in overall performance.
-
Jackson Athletic Performance and progress gym members are offered 2 x Hold periods per year of 2-8 weeks. Further details of our hold period policy will be outlined in the members agreement.
-
At JAP we understand that we are not the one that has to actually do the program. Personal preferences of training are factored into the program design to an extent. We work with our clients to find the fine line between building a program they can enjoy and buy into as well as it being practical enough to help them reach their goals.
-
Yes! Jackson athletic performance welcomes people from all walks of life to come and enjoy a style of training focussed on health and performance through a well thought out structure. General Fitness and aesthetics is also a nice added bonus of what we have to offer.
-
10 years old is the youngest you have to be to train in our youth category, we also do not specialise in training the elderly or people with special needs.
-
Absolutely not! We still develop and progress our athletes during all times of the year. The in season period is the perfect time to get in some solid ground work focussing on low fatigue areas such as stability, core strength, imbalances, niggles and injury so when the off-season period does hit, we can hit the ground running!
-
Our tier 1 members have the option of training from home or from another gym facility. Whichever option you choose your program will be built to suit the equipment you have available. If you plan on training from home when you sign up we can provide a simple shopping list of the bare minimum equipment you can purchase to get started.
-
