“Andrew Pyke (Pykey) was my first strength and conditioning who introduced me to weights while I was at Coombabah State High School. It was awesome to get shown things like power cleans early and he made sure we always had good form and good culture in the gym. He also used to put on speed sessions which were good for me to work on all the little things I would need as I got older. He made it all fun to be part of and is an energetic guy. Thanks Pykey!”

“Being apart of the elite player development system at the Brisbane broncos and having pykey as a strength and conditioning coach compliment eachother so well. The professionalism and level at which I am expected to train with him is no different to when I’m at the broncos. the vibe he creates and the personal connections he makes with his athletes creates an environment with banter and lots of energy which for myself really brings the best out of my training sessions. He has helped me excel in pre season periods and prepare myself for the season ahead. But what I have liked most is the education around maintaining my gains from the preseason across a season of competition with smart training rather than excessive training.”

“During the short time (2018 onwards) I have spent with Andrew Pyke, his efforts throughout our trainings/meetings have been worthwhile. His enthusiasm, eagerness and supportiveness around his coaching have always made our sessions memorable. Upon leaving the school he now works at (Coombabah State High) to Brisbane Grammar School, Mr Pyke remained an integral part within my schooling and rugby journey, often setting up lunch times to meet with me just to catch up. His professionalism within the strength and conditioning department is well regarded, that S&C coaches I have also been trained by (Brisbane Broncos, Brisbane Grammar, Tweed Seagulls coach’s) have high praises for his virtues and understandings. His gym classes are always one to remember, as he joins in and encourages his students/athletes with his outgoing music, something I like to compare my training sessions I have now, to his ones. Overall, he’s a down to earth coach (which aren’t all too common nowadays), who knows how to get the best out of his athletes/students. “

“Andrew Pyke trained and developed me in my senior years of high school developing me into one of the most accomplished athletes in the country. He has taken my performance on the field and in the gym to a new level through power, speed and strength. Pykey thrives in his craft he can turn anyone into an athlete. Thanks Pykey!”
