Welcome: Coach Jacob Condo

Caitlyn Davey • July 8, 2025

At the start of this year, I joined Rebuild as a coach. Before this, I spent a short amount of time as a member and also as an intern. Those who know me well would know I didn’t really have too much direction in life, floating around warehousing jobs whilst four concussions in 18 months (2 in ~8 weeks) kept me from playing Rugby, a sport which I have been playing non-stop since I was 5. This time, however, gave me the chance to train consistently in the gym, complete my cert 3 + 4 in fitness as well as start university again. After completing my certificates and finishing my intern period, Sean and James offered me a job. I’ve never really been one to jump out of my comfort zone, so starting here surrounded by highly qualified and skilled coaches as well as some impressive members was intimidating.But I knew that if I wanted to get to where I want to be, surrounding myself with these types of people was going to play a big part in that. Surrounding yourself with people who are ahead of you or who represent where you would like to be in the future is something that is important. I’ve learnt so much in my short time here and am looking forward to seeing how I can develop as a coach. If you are thinking about joining a gym but are wanting to ‘get fit’ first or don’t want to do it purely because it is out of your comfort zone, throw yourself in the deep end and get involved. It may be scary at the start, but you’ll end up glad that you did.

Why technique matters more than intensity if you've plateaued

July 10, 2026
If you've spent a year or two in a high-intensity group class around Capalaba, Alexandra Hills or Chandler, you'll probably recognise this pattern. The first six months are brilliant. You're fitter, sweatier, and proud of yourself for showing up. Then, somewhere around month eight, the progress slows. You're still working just as hard, but the scales won't move, your knee niggles at you on leg day, and the sessions start to feel more like survival than progress. This isn't a motivation problem. It's usually a sign that your training needs a different kind of structure, and it's one of the most common reasons people across the Redlands come to us at Rebuild Capalaba looking for something a bit more tailored.
