Welcome to Chroma Strength and Conditioning
The word Chroma means “the purity and intensity of colour” and at Chroma S&C we say it with respect to movement – “the purity and intensity of movement”.
To explain, we start by helping athletes create good quality movement, striving to achieve purity of movement. Once we have that, we add intensity to see where we can really push performance, resulting in intensity of movement.
Our team of expert coaches and allied health professionals have a combined experience of over 20 years and are continually educating themselves to ensure the best service is delivered.
Chroma S&C is a place where athletes receive specific coaching and knowledge that enables them to reach their goals. On top of this, our athletes get behind each other, creating an environment that feeds progression and improvement.

Coach Jason likes to think that moving well throughout our lives is the best indicator of a life well lived. This is the basis for his rationale in training and coaching. How this looks is different for everyone as people decide what you enjoy doing.
Jason has always been interested in sport, dabbling in social sport in his youth. He started CrossFit in 2012, which then became the basis for his training.
He tragically tore his ACL (a playground accident), spending three years managing his routine without surgery before reinjuring it and going under the knife. Going through an intense rehab was tough but it means he has a good understanding of how difficult the process is. He knows it’s painful to be unable to do the things you’ve always done and taken for granted but he also knows that with time and the correct application of exercise, it is possible to return to activity at or above your previous level.
Since starting with Chroma, Jason has participated in several local CrossFit competitions. This has led him to understanding how to adapt his training to focus on performance. When you start focusing on performance, that’s where we can start to dig into deeper understandings of specificity and tailor a program with improved specific outcomes. Good movement is universal and the intensity with which this movement is required to take place will vary depending on the desired outcome.
His qualifications include:
- CrossFit Level 1
- Boxing Level 1
- Pre and Post Natal
