What Others Say
" My association with Steve continued into the Rugby League ranks both with the Ipswich Jets and the Brisbane Broncos. As a player at the Broncos, I always felt that our strength and conditioning levels were superior to other NRL teams - a direct result of Steve's methods and application. History tells us that the Broncos are one of the most successful sporting clubs and I have no doubt that Steve Nance has contributed in many ways towards this success." Kevin Walters - Former Brisbane, Broncos Champion" I have been privileged to observe Steve in a number of professional settings, particularly dealing with students. He is highly knowledgeable and widely regarded for his expertise in the area of strength and fitness training and has a tremendous manner with the young people with whom he comes in contact. They respond positively to his manner, expertise and experience. The staff at John Paul College have also significantly benefited from professional development activities either organized or conducted by Steve." Steve Paul - Headmaster, John Paul College
" Our record is indicative of Steve's ability to take a team to where they need to be physically to be the best in the world. Personally, I cannot praise him high enough. Over the above period I was able to rise to the status of world champion as a direct result of the help Steve gave me." Richard Harry - Former Wallabies, World Champion
"We were challenged individually and encouraged to try and better ourselves. The smaller class sizes also made it very personal and we all became good friends and egged each other on. I can honestly say there wasn’t anything about the program that I disliked. Everyone is amazed at what I achieved in such a short time." Julie Della Piana - Former Wellness Program Participant
"Steve has outstanding professional expertise and personal skills. In his role as strength and conditioning coach with the Wallabies, Steve was dedicated in his pursuit of improved results and attitudes within the team. He achieved this and was instrumental in contributing to certain cultural changes in Australian rugby. His patriotism and loyalty are striking and are foundational for what motivates him." Dr. John Best - Former Wallabies , Team Doctor
"He very kindly took me into his confidence providing a fascinating insight into the physical development of the entire squad in terms of strength, power and fitness. In terms of rugby union, Steve was the worldwide leader in his area of specialisation. His vast experience in professional sport, particularly rugby league, ensured that the ground-breaking Wallabies under coach Rod Macqueen were ahead of their time." Gordon Bray - Rugby Commentator
" We all commenced at a relatively similar level of fitness, and have progressed together. The group introduces a competitive and social dynamic to training which helps motivate me to keep going. I have lost about 10kg since commencing an d in a recent exercise stress test I completed, I rated in the top 20% fitness range for my age (44). I generally feel a lot more active now and even look forward to the intense exercise sessions!" Gary Smith - Current Fitnance Fitness Participant
"The Wallabies strength and aerobic fitness was far superior to any other international team at that time and this proved to be our competitive edge over all our opponents. Steve's careful planning of our training over the three years ensured we peaked for the most important test matches. Also, Steve's innovative training programs were able to produce maximum results while ensuring there was plenty of variety to keep the team enthusiastic during the most difficult sessions. The success of this team can be largely attributed to the significant role Steve Nance had on our conditioning." David Wilson - Former Wallabies, World Champion
