Founded and led by Performance Coach and Sports Nutritionist Phil Janicki, The Performance Coach provides personalised online training, nutrition and accountability for Australians who want to lose fat, build muscle, improve performance and build results that last.
Your plan is built around your goals, experience, schedule, preferences and real-world commitments, with ongoing support from a dedicated coach who adjusts your training and nutrition as you progress.
The Performance Coach was founded by Phil Janicki to provide the kind of coaching that goes beyond handing someone a workout plan.
Phil is a qualified fitness professional and nationally recognised Sports Nutritionist who works with everyday clients and competitive athletes across body composition, nutrition and performance.
Today, Phil leads a specialist coaching team and oversees the coaching systems and standards used across TPC.
Meet Phil & the Coaching TeamMost people overestimate what a few hours of training each week can do on its own, and underestimate what happens across the rest of the week outside the gym. Real results come from your daily habits, food choices, routine, consistency, recovery, and how well your plan fits your actual life.
That’s why online coaching is the core of what we do. Training, nutrition, routine, recovery, consistency and the habits between sessions sit in one plan. Your coach reviews progress at weekly check-ins and adjusts it around work, family and the rest of real life.
This coaching is for people who want real results without extreme methods, generic plans, or starting over every Monday. Phil Janicki and the TPC coaching team build the plan around the week you actually have.
Personalised coaching delivered by the TPC coaching team under the systems and standards developed by founder and Head Coach Phil Janicki.
For people who want expert nutrition guidance, structure and accountability without full training support.
For people who want the highest level of support, with training, nutrition and accountability working together across the full week. This is the core service: support, direction and accountability for every day, not just the time you spend training.
Personalised HYROX and hybrid athlete coaching with structured training and sports nutrition support, built around your race goals and schedule.
$149 per week
In-person PT is available as an add-on for active coaching clients only. This is designed for form refinement, accountability, and hands-on support where needed, not as a standalone transformation service.
$60 per 45-minute session
Available only to active Nutrition Coaching or Complete Online Coaching clients.
Request a Free Coaching ConsultYou’ll go through a detailed onboarding process so your coach can understand your goals, lifestyle, training background, food preferences and current challenges.
You’ll get a tailored training and/or nutrition plan built around your real life, not an ideal week that never happens.
Each week, we review your check-in, assess what’s working, and make adjustments so you keep moving forward with clarity and confidence.
TPC was built on the coaching approach behind these results. Today, Phil leads a team of coaches following the same standards of personalised programming, practical nutrition, weekly accountability and individual support.
Lacey Linke, safer weight cuts and better performance in camp
“Couldn’t recommend Phil enough. Across multiple fight camps, he changed how I approach making weight. Instead of feeling stressed and depleted, I stayed fuelled, avoided binge cycles, and performed better. Everything is clear, practical and adjusted to what is realistic for me.”
Gary Andrews, 4.5 kg down in 8 weeks
“Phil has been great. The process has been simple to stick to, and I’ve never been in better shape. I’m down 4.5kg in 8 weeks and excited to keep building from here. Forever grateful.”
Jo Sutton, 4.5 kg down in 6 weeks
“Phil is excellent: professional, dedicated, and fully invested in client progress. His approach is holistic, with training, nutrition, and mindset support that actually helps you follow through. I highly recommend The Performance Coach.”
Ben, 15 kg down, and stronger than when he started
“I started at 93kg just wanting to lose weight. What I got was a complete rebuild. I’ve dropped 15kg but I’m stronger now than when I started. My energy is high, I feel fitter and I enjoy training. This wasn’t starving myself or smashing endless cardio. We stripped the fat off and now we’re building quality muscle back the right way. Best decision I’ve made for my health.”
Sam, better energy and race-day nutrition
“Phil completely transformed the way I fuel for training and race day. I used to guess my nutrition and crash halfway through long runs but now I know exactly how to eat, when to fuel and how to sustain energy throughout my races. My performance, confidence, and recovery have all levelled up. Phil’s the coach you want.”
Tenille, long-term coaching with close attention to detail
“I have worked with Phil for a long time and his attention to detail on every little aspect is first class. Phil is very attentive to his clients and makes you feel very comfortable and heard. The knowledge this guy has is incredible. It’s been such a pleasure working with such a great coach!”

By engaging with TPC services, attending sessions, or using our programs or resources, you acknowledge and agree to the terms below.

Phil Janicki is Founder and Head Coach. Shanai Hart and Craig Simon are performance coaches within the TPC coaching team. Each coach brings a different specialty, and every client is coached to the same standards of personalised programming, practical nutrition and weekly accountability.

If you’re looking for a quick fix, a generic meal plan, or a one-size-fits-all program, this probably isn’t the right fit. Our approach is personalised, practical, and focused on long-term results rather than shortcuts.
Most coaches give you a program. TPC coaching covers structure across the week. Training, nutrition, habits, accountability and support are built around your goals, lifestyle, and real-world constraints, not a template copied from someone else. Founder and Head Coach Phil Janicki oversees the coaching systems and standards used across the team.
Online coaching is the core focus of The Performance Coach. That’s where the biggest results happen, because real change comes from what you do across the full week, not just during one session.
In-person PT is available as an optional add-on for active coaching clients who want extra hands-on support with technique, accountability, or session execution.
Because results are built outside the gym as much as inside it. One session can help, but it won’t shape your habits, food choices, routine, recovery, or day-to-day decisions on its own. Online coaching gives you structure and support across the full week, which is where long-term results are actually created.
Clients consistently highlight personalised structure, practical nutrition support and coaching that fits real life. The Performance Coach has 5-star client reviews from people who have seen real results.
Every program is custom-built. Exercises, volume, intensity, tempo, and progression are selected based on your experience, goals, injury history, and available equipment.
That depends on your goal, schedule, and recovery capacity. Some clients train 3 days per week, others 5–6. The plan is designed to fit your life, not the other way around.
Absolutely. Programs are scaled to your experience level, with clear instructions and coaching support so you can build confidence, technique, and consistency from day one.
Both, and this is a key part of how our coaching works. Your coach sets and regularly adjusts your macronutrient targets based on your goal, training load, progress, and lifestyle. From there, they build detailed, practical meal plans that hit those macros for you, so you don’t need to guess or stress about every food choice.
No. Most clients don’t, and that’s completely ok. While macros are the framework behind the plan, you’re not expected to manually track or build meals yourself unless you want to. The meal plan is designed to do the work for you, ensuring accuracy and consistency without mental load.
Because for most people, macros alone aren’t enough. Clients often miss micronutrients, fibre, meal structure and consistency, and food quality over the week. Meal plans let your coach control both macronutrients and micronutrient intake, which improves energy, recovery, digestion, and adherence, not just scale weight.
No. They’re structured, not strict. Meal plans are built with your food preferences in mind, sensible swaps where appropriate, realistic portions, and sustainability. The goal is consistency, not perfection.
Absolutely. Meal plans and macros are adjusted regularly based on progress, training demands, body composition, and lifestyle or schedule shifts. Nothing is static; your nutrition evolves as you do.
That’s an option. Some clients transition toward more flexible eating once they understand portions, hunger cues, and structure. Others prefer meal plans long-term because it removes decision fatigue. The plan is tailored to what helps you execute best.
Yes. This method works for sustainable fat loss, lean muscle gain, body recomposition, and performance and recovery support. Structure and nutrients reduce guesswork and support results.
Generic plans don’t adapt, and apps rely on user accuracy. Your plan is built for your macros and lifestyle, adjusted from real data, by a coach who understands training demands, focused on long-term health, not just calories.
Most clients notice improvements in energy, strength, and routine within the first few weeks. Visible body composition changes typically occur over 8–12 weeks, depending on consistency and starting point.
Results depend on your effort, consistency, adherence, and communication. What we provide is a well-structured plan, ongoing support, and adjustments based on your progress, so you have a clear path when you commit to the process.
That’s part of the process. Coaching includes regular check-ins, progress reviews, and plan adjustments. We troubleshoot what’s happening and keep moving forward instead of starting over.
Yes. Long-term results come from consistency, not perfection. We work on routines, behaviours, and decision-making so progress feels sustainable, not forced.
Yes, and that’s often when coaching is most valuable. Programs are designed around your workload, stress levels, and recovery capacity to avoid burnout.
Request a free coaching consult and tell us your goal. A member of the TPC coaching team will be in touch to discuss whether TPC is the right fit. There is no obligation to join. If you start, onboarding covers your goals, history, lifestyle and preferences before your plan is built.
Gym access is ideal, but home-based programs can be built around whatever equipment you have.
Yes. Programs and weekly structure can be adjusted to suit travel, work demands, or changing circumstances.
