SEAN BLEASE
Sean is a Strength & Conditioning Coach and a founding director of Athletica. Originally hailing from Christchurch, New Zealand, he has been working in the fitness industry since 2014. His passion for continued education led him to complete his bachelor's degree, majoring in Strength & Conditioning and Nutrition. Sean has been active in performance sports, working with top-level athletes both in individual and team sports.
Sean believes that success in any type of training requires an in-depth understanding of his client's motivations, limitations, and capabilities. His methodology is based on teaching clients principles, not counting reps, to grow the body and the mind simultaneously. A large component of this is his focus on mental health and its interrelated nature with training.
Sean is a repeat offender when it comes to bad puns and dad jokes. He is arguably constructing a personality around a moustache and will take any opportunity to seek an apology for Australian sporting conduct towards New Zealand.
