“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 performance solutions.
Aviation's unique demands need a program built around them - that's what Flying Fit delivers. Our specialised Flying Fit program optimises performance and physical capability during and between flights through strategic home and away protocols.
The Gap
We surveyed AIPA members directly — and the results shaped exactly what Flying Fit had to become:
73% of you want performance advice from professionals with Olympic-level experience → Flying Fit delivers.
75% of you want adaptive fitness programs tailored to your routine → Flying Fit specialises in this.
Your top barriers — time, cost, and changing schedules → Flying Fit overcomes all three.
A program built from what AIPA members said they needed.
The Programs
Flying Fit is about optimising your fitness. Three tiers of programs:
Foundations: two 16-week options free to AIPA members.
Momentum: A suite of 8-week programs with coach-chat interaction.
Elevate: Fully customised coaching.
Every tier is additive. Move up, step back, or hold steady as your roster and goals change, with no lock-in contracts.
All tiers require current DAME or GP exercise clearance before you start, so your program is always matched to what you're cleared for.
These are AIPA Partner Rates for AIPA members and their families. All prices include GST.

The Flying Fit Advantage
Elite level coaches, experienced with high performance athlete preparation, delivering fitness programs using the same app-based platform used by international athletes.
-
"Olympic-level personal attention for aviation professionals"
Accredited, elite coaches: All our coaches are highly accredited and have decades of experience with elite and Olympic athletes.
A coaching relationship that grows with your tier: from self-serve programming through to a dedicated coach relationship at Elevate, with ongoing support, motivation, and accountability.
Individually tailored where it counts: programming adjusts to your fitness data, goals, and feedback, with the level of personalisation matched to your tier.
Built to evolve: coaching conversations and educational content that adapt to your career and life changes.
-
Built around your roster, not a fixed calendar.
Every tier is designed for the realities of flying - irregular hours, time-zone shifts, and layovers. Momentum programs are structured to mould to a pilot's schedule from the outset.
Elevate goes further - designed with your roster in mind and with real-time coaching adjustments as your roster and needs change.
-
All programs utilise the same elite-level app platform used by sporting teams and institutions nationally and internationally.
This is professional athlete-level monitoring and elite level coaching.
Case Studies
Whether it is integrating fitness in a demanding flying roster, rehabilitation from injury or a specific fitness goal, we can help you be at your best.

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.
-
Richard’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.
Ready to experience Olympic-level fitness and performance tailored for aviation professionals?
Long sectors. Rosters that never repeat. Fitness that keeps slipping.
Extended time seated, and a schedule that changes every week — it adds up to broken routines and missed exercise. Over time, that's lost fitness.
It doesn't have to be like that. Help is here.
Flying Fit has been built and refined with AIPA members since 2024 — real roster complexity, worked through by someone who's coached professional and Olympic athletes through high performance complexity. What you need is supportive coaching that knows how to progress you despite that complexity.
