JOSHUA CLEMENT DE SOUZA

Passionate about sports and recovery, I struggled with fatigue and injuries after intense workouts and games until discovering massage therapy. After experiencing immediate relief through deep tissue massage, I knew I wanted to help others achieve the same results.

Since 2020, I’ve worked with athletes and teams including the NRL Knights, Australian National Rugby Team Men & Women, England National Women’s Rugby, Perth Glory and more. My focus is helping clients relieve muscle tightness, reduce stress, and improve mobility through targeted massage, stretching, and recovery techniques.

HEAR FROM A SATISFIED CUSTOMER

I love going to see Josh. He is always attentive and has the ability to intuit what my body’s differing needs are on a given day allowing for a seamless flow throughout the session. Josh is always professional and has a beautiful caring, friendly manner instantly making you feel comfortable. Each movement felt connected as if the massage had a natural rhythm, rather than being disjointed.

Josh is a skillfull therapist and has the ability to transition between techniques ensuring every part of my body receives the attention it needs allowing me to walk away feeling rejuvenated and balanced.

Overall, this massage was a wonderful escape from the everyday hustle, and I left feeling lighter and more in tune with my body. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a massage that flows beautifully and provides complete relaxation.

I’ve been to so many different gyms and Inner Strength has been the only one I’ve stuck too! All the staff are so friendly, welcoming and super helpful. It’s not packed either so I didn’t feel intimidated at all when I first joined! Definitely recommend!!

There is nothing I don't like about Inner Strength. The gym is never too busy and it is easy to find times where you will find 1-3 others there working out. The women on the reception desk are a delight - so friendly and always ready for a genuine 'pleased to see you' welcome chat. The trainers and members (kids to elderly) are also friendly, always chill and ready with a smile. It is a relaxed atmosphere which I really enjoy. There is nothing pretentious about Inner Strength. There are no blearing TV screens and I love the music! Im a George FM listener so if you like that you'll be happy here. The gym is also super clean. There is a lovely young woman who is employed to clean the equipment and members are really good at cleaning the machines after use. I'm nearly 50 and only recently started back at the gym after a 13 year break and Inner Strength has been perfect for me.

I have been a member of Inner Strength since 2015 and have thoroughly enjoyed my experience there. Staff are friendly and approachable and the gym itself caters to a wide range of members with varying goals and motivations. I like the sense of inclusivity that Inner Strength brings to all its members.

I have always felt uncomfortable in ‘normal’ gyms, but the team at Inner Strength have made the transition from group training to single training smooth and easy for me.They only have the members best intentions at heart, and everyone including other members are friendly and willing to lend a helping hand when needed.Matt has been amazing to see for PT sessions as he really helped me to focus on areas that needed work instead of just giving me a general plan. He created 2 seperate plans for me and helped me through them until I was comfortable doing them by myself. He really knows his stuff and I would highly recommend him.The range of equipment is great, the gym is not overly busy and you can workout without the fear of feeling intimidated.Thanks to the team at Inner Strength, I am now really loving and enjoying my fitness journey and will continue to support your business.

I could not rate Inner Strength high enough. It is a great gym and the staff are highly professional and are always willing to assist. The gym is hygienic, neat and tidy and has a great range of exercise equipment as well as all your supplement needs.My consultation with Hayden was very professional, he communicated very well and really understood my needs and goals. He worked with me on a more holistic approach for my weightless journey. He offered consistent support and I believe this is so importation when you are wanting to achieve the best you can.If you want to be a part of a gym that really cares about your fitness, wellbeing and short and long term goals, then Inner Strength is the place for you.

Inner Strength Health & Performance is an awesome place to train! The team there are very supportive, knowledgeable and friendly. They have great group workout sessions that are fun but challenging too. I enjoy the whole aspect of their approach to training and nutrition. Hayden helped me out hugely with nutrition as a diabetic and what approach I should take. Nice little gym with good equipment to train with. I would recommend checking out Inner Strength and talking to Hayden or one of the team if you are keen on achieving your fitness and lifestyle goals.
