• Charlie Smith

    Head Coach & Founder of Avenue Training

    Charlie’s passion for movement began on the rugby field. After experiencing his fair share of injuries throughout his playing career, he quickly realised the importance of strength, conditioning and moving well.

    With over 15 years of experience in the fitness industry, Charlie has dedicated his career to helping others move better, get stronger and build confidence through training. He holds a degree in Sports Coaching, is a proud lululemon ambassador and if you can’t find him at the Ave, there’s a good chance he’s catching a few waves at Bronte Beach.

    His coaching philosophy is simple: train with purpose, stay consistent and create an environment where people genuinely enjoy showing up.
