Tim grew up in Western Sydney with two brothers, where sport was always a constant - rugby league, touch football, anything competitive. That drive took him all the way to representing New South Wales and debuting for Australia in touch football in 2014.

Around that same time, he discovered CrossFit and hasn't looked back. Over the last 15 years, Tim has competed at the highest levels of functional fitness, including five appearances at Torian Pro as both an individual and team athlete, culminating in a team victory in 2025.

Bringing 98 to Penrith is personal. Western Sydney has a fierce sporting culture and a community that deserves world-class facilities and coaching to match. With 10 years owning and running a gym, Tim also brings a deep belief in what fitness does for people beyond the physical; the resilience, confidence, and community that training builds.

Outside the gym, Tim is a proud girl dad, a diehard Parramatta Eels fan, and is currently training for his first 100km ultra marathon.

Nathan is a Penrith local, and bringing 98 to his own backyard is anything but coincidental.

Growing up, rugby league was everything. After looking for something new competitively, Nathan walked into a small factory gym, saw people climbing ropes, and found CrossFit. He was hooked immediately. Over the next 12 years, he competed at Regionals level as both an individual and team athlete before shifting focus to endurance - completing a 102km ultra marathon, with more on the way.

What has kept Nathan in the industry for over a decade has been watching people transform their confidence and self-belief. He's built lifelong relationships through coaching, and that sense of community is exactly what he's bringing to 98 Penrith.

Father of two, passionate home cook, and a self-confessed serial retiree from competition.

Proudly raised in Western Sydney, Julz is passionate about building strong communities and creating environments where people feel supported, challenged, and connected. With a lifelong background in sport, including rugby league and a range of team sports, he developed an appreciation for teamwork, discipline, and the relationships that come from shared goals.

His love of coaching stems from a real passion for people. Julz believes training should be about more than physical results - it should build confidence, resilience, and the belief that you’re capable of more than you imagined. He is committed to creating a welcoming space where members can step away from daily stress, prioritise their health, and grow both inside and outside the gym.

Inspired by personal experiences that reinforced the importance of health, Julz finds the greatest reward in helping people become happier, healthier, and more confident versions of themselves while fostering a community that supports them every step of the way.
