Noah first entered a gym when he was 13. He still remembers the day like it was yesterday. It was Bob Landers Gym, South Hurstville. That gym is long gone but the passion for lifting weights and fitness that came from those early days never left him. Noah’s life took him in various directions, especially to education where he has spent over 25 years transforming lives through learning. That entire time he has remained on a fitness journey that has included amateur bodybuilding, boxing, martial arts, CrossFit and now various fitness competitions such as Hyrox and the Turf Games.

In recent years, Noah has taken his journey in fitness more seriously, retraining as a PT and coach, and deciding to open a gym of his own which is what brought Noah and 98 together. The relationship between them has gone from strength to strength based on shared values and a commitment to improving people’s lives by delivering the highest quality, science-based, strength and conditioning programs. 98 Neutral Bay is the culmination of a long journey and a dream that started in a suburban gym over 40 years ago.

Noah is passionate about training the older athlete. As someone in his 50s, he realises the importance of strength and conditioning training for quality of life and longevity only increases as a person gets older. Noah’s goal is to work with people of all age groups but specifically with people in their 50s and older to achieve their fitness and life goals.

Noah’s fitness journey began at 13 in a small South Hurstville gym. Decades later, after a 25-year career in education, his passion for training never waned. From bodybuilding and boxing to Hyrox and Turf Games, fitness has always been central. Retraining as a coach led him to 98, where shared values and a science-based approach inspired 98 Neutral Bay. Now in his 50s, Noah focuses on helping older athletes build strength, longevity, and confidence — proving it’s never too late to raise the standard.
