About Us
At Chodat Fitness, we combine expert coaching, personalised programs, and a supportive community to help every individual reach their goals. From beginners to athletes, we focus on sustainable progress, proper technique, and building confidence through movement and training.
Chodat Fitness was founded in 2008 when Illawarra local Lukas Chodat turned his lifelong passion for athletics and human performance into a community-focused fitness business. With numerous sprinting and athletic accolades to his name, Lukas brings deep experience, proven training methods, and a genuine commitment to helping people become stronger, fitter, and more confident.

Customer Reviews
Our kids are really enjoying the sprinting.
We can see big improvements already and it’s only been a few weeks since they started. It’s definitely showing in their games when they’re playing soccer.
Group training has been gold.
Instructors are great (friendly, knowledgeable and pushing us towards growth). A good variety of classes and a nice group to workout with.
I am thoroughly enjoying personal training.
I am improving week to week towards my key goals – fat loss and increasing muscle to fat ratio. Aidan provides a challenging program that pushes me further each week, I love it!
Outdoor group exercise classes are a fantastic
mix of fitness, fresh air, mental wellbeing and great company! It’s easy to stay motivated as classes are a fun social activity where everyone encourages each other while enjoying the beautiful location (and if you’re lucky, you might spot whales and dolphins having their own fun)!
