Greg and Jacob Taylor

A common misconception is that physiotherapists are only able to help with injuries. A physiotherapist has a wide range of skills that allows them to assess and coach exercise programs to improve the quality of performance and not just get back to being pain-free.

Greg and Jacob are long-term PEAK athletes who have been attending our Exercise Led Prevention Classes since 2020 and are one of the most inspirational father-son duos you will ever meet. As regulars of one of our Saturday morning classes, they constantly strive to push their physical and mental limits.

Pushing Limits: Greg & Jacob’s Journey of Growth

Greg and Jacob challenge themselves through endurance events and strength training, proving that growth comes from discipline and resilience.

Conquering the Rottnest Island Swim

Greg does not shy away from a physical challenge; on the horizon is the Rottnest Island Swim in February of 2025. As a physiotherapist himself, Greg understands the importance of pushing himself physically as well as mentally. This challenge was specifically chosen to charge through fear and physical boundaries and demonstrates a willingness to endure discomfort in the interest of growth. Fear often holds us back, but by facing it, we expand our limits and uncover strength we didn’t know we had. Greg believes that it is not about avoiding pain but recognizing it as a sign of growth.

Mental Toughness in the Gold Coast Half Marathon

Jacob has also completed a personal challenge of running the 2024 Gold Coast Half Marathon. Jacob shows a sense of mental toughness and consistently demonstrates focus, resilience, and determination. Attending each session with a positive mindset and an inspiring mindset of consistent effort and a commitment to growth. Jacob has shown that mental toughness isn’t just about enduring hardship but about using it as a stepping stone for success.

Building Discipline and Growth

This duo has been currently focusing on some full-body strengthening for their upcoming year and to also work up a feel-good sweat. They are committed to choosing the pain of discipline over the pain of dysfunction and, as such, they are receiving the benefits that strength training has in helping them to achieve their goals.

Fitness for Everyday Life

These are somewhat extreme examples of goals to improve physical barriers. However, it may be as simple as improving your ability to perform everyday tasks such as walking up stairs or spending active time with your children. Our Exercise Led Prevention classes cater to all levels of fitness. If you would like to find out more about these classes and how they could benefit your life, book in online to chat with your PEAK Coach or give us a call at 3399 3318—we can’t wait to hear from you.
