Flying Fit

Your profession demands precision.

Your health program should deliver the same standard.

Fly fitter, for longer, and extend your career with a health and wellness program designed specifically for pilots.

“With Brendyn’s support and encouragement, I’ve stayed on course when I might have otherwise given up. I’m not, and never will be, an elite athlete — but with his guidance, I can become the best version of myself. I want to be “flying fit” — not just now, but all the way into retirement.”

Captain Andrew Taylor

Elite pilots require elite health solutions.

Generic fitness programs fail because they don't understand aviation's unique demands. Our specialised Flying Fit program optimises performance and physical capability maintaining peak health during and between flights through strategic home and away health and wellness protocols.

As Australia's premier pilot performance specialist, we've transformed pilot health through proven, aviation-specific protocols.

Case Studies

  • Ross's and Andrew’s experience highlights the challenge of maintaining fitness consistency within demanding aviation schedules. We created dual solutions: a sustainable home exercise program and travel-friendly workouts for overseas trips. This approach recognises that pilots need flexibility without compromising effectiveness. The focus on "gradual, sustainable progress" combined with deep understanding of aviation lifestyle challenges resulted in a program that truly adapts rather than requiring pilots to adapt their lives around fitness. 

  • Captain Sudlow's shoulder surgery recovery showcases the intersection of injury rehabilitation and performance optimisation. Our decades of experience with elite athletes translated directly to addressing aviation-specific physical demands while managing post-surgical limitations. With a network of elite service providers and practical understanding of pilot requirements, Richard achieved improvements in overall strength, mobility, and resilience that exceeded his expectations, demonstrating how Flying Fit enhances aviation performance. 

  • Joey's journey from casual runner to successful triathlete demonstrates the power of adaptive programming. Starting with a "vague idea" discussed in an airport terminal, we developed a comprehensive training plan that evolved in real-time based on daily wellness metrics. When Joey's motivation dipped due to disrupted sleep from a gruelling roster, we immediately adjusted sessions through our app chat function. This responsive approach helped Joey achieve sprint triathlon times he "didn't think were possible" at Busselton, proving that elite-level coaching can transform ambitious goals into measurable success.

    Captain Richard Sudlow

  • "One of the most impressive aspects is the focus on gradual, sustainable progress and his deep understanding of the challenges faced by those with demanding lifestyles."
