Our Story

I want to help individuals achieve real progression with their health and fitness journeys. I believe through building a community and 
a group mindset can help my clients realise their own unique goals.

Sean Mackinnon - Base Founder

Our Brand Vision & Mission

Through group coaching strength and conditioning sessions our vision is to build a community of like-minded individuals looking to achieve impactful progress on their own unique health and fitness journey.

We will achieve our mission by delivering, within our group sessions, the same level of expert coaching you would expect from a 1-1 Personal Training session. Along with access to our coaching app – members will receive weekly 1-2-1 consultations that includes nutritional guidance, movement goals and honest in-depth analysis of their progress.

What Our members Say

I started Base training in early July with my son. After being stuck in a rut, I was apprehensive, but from that first morning I was hooked. The welcome was unlike anything I’d experienced, and I felt part of the team immediately. The workouts push me to my limits, helping me reach goals I never thought possible. The classes are the highlight of my week—I didn’t just join a gym, I joined a community.
Scott Russell
I’ve been training at BASE for almost three months, and it’s been completely different from what I expected. I was anxious about joining a gym full of hybrid athletes, but from day one I felt comfortable and supported. The classes are well structured, the trainers push you the right way, and I’m already seeing great results. The family feel from Sean’s mum and dad makes BASE a place where you feel welcome and build real confidence.
Ronnie McPherson
I recently joined Base after having a baby, and it's been great! The vibe is super welcoming, and the community is fantastic. The classes are engaging, and I always leave feeling motivated. ☺️ It's been the perfect fit for me, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to get back into fitness!
Wendy Cheong
Being a mum of 3, I thought getting back to the gym was impossible. PT wasn’t affordable, but when my friend joined BASE, I realised strength club three times a week was exactly what I needed. Walking through the doors, my gym anxiety disappeared—the people and the community were just good vibes. Showing up gave me energy, lifted my mood, and brought real physical and mental changes. BASE makes prioritising yourself possible.
Lindsay McLean
Since starting strength club in October, I’ve lifted heavier weights and seen a positive change in my body. Starting a new gym can be daunting, but everyone at BASE has been so welcoming and encouraging. Strength club lets you track workouts, see progression, and push yourself. Combining strength and conditioning has made me much fitter, and with training for the Hybrid Games, the motivating community at BASE has been ideal.
Gemma Convery
Since starting strength club in July/August, I’ve enjoyed lifting weights again. The structured workouts and group aspect push you and make hitting targets even better. Moving from strength into conditioning was something I never thought I’d enjoy, but now I love it—even doing two in one day. The intensity, Sean’s energy, and the incredible community make BASE second to none, and I’m delighted to be part of it.
