After spending 8 years running three F45 studios, I learned a lot about what works — and what doesn’t — when it comes to group fitness. I’ve taken the best parts of that experience and created something new, something that puts you at the center of it all.
I'm focused on giving you more value than what the big franchises can offer. My goal is simple: to help you achieve life-changing results that you can actually sustain. You’ll get access to functional group fitness classes, plus the flexibility to use the studio space when no classes are running — because why should a great space go to waste?
We've also designed our workouts to be safe for the long haul. Some of the high-impact exercises you might find elsewhere can do more harm than good over time, so I’ve made sure our programming includes exercises that are effective, but safer for your body, while maintaining the same intensity.
We don’t care how old you are, what your background is, or how you identify. It’s all about effort. The sweat. The sacrifice. The relentless drive to build a version of yourself that doesn’t exist yet. It’s straightforward, it’s fun, and honestly — it’s addictive.
This isn’t just about getting fit. When you’re here, everything else fades away. It’s about focusing on you and the person you’re becoming. While you’re in the studio, the outside world stops, and it’s just you working toward your goals.
For me, Squadron is more than a gym. It’s a sanctuary. It’s where you can lose yourself and rediscover who you truly are. Whether you’re looking to escape, grow, or find a sense of purpose, this is where you’ll find it.
Squadron is named in memory of Steve's grandfather, Herbert (Bert) Tinning, who was a member of 51 Squadron.
51 Squadron was a Royal Airforce (RAF) bomber squadron that served during WorldWar II and was part of the RAF Bomber Command’s strategic bombing campaign against Nazi Germany. Bert told Steve that the men from his Squadron were fit, strong and united hence Squadron Performances’ motto of FITNESS. STRENGTH. UNITY.
Bert Tinning was 18 when World War 2 was declared in 1939. Like many young men of the time, he enlisted and joined the Royal Australian Air Force. He began training as an aircraft fitter and later transferred to aircrew training in 1942. It was during this time that Bert met his future wife, Mavis, and after a short engagement, and with his departure to Europe imminent, they decided to get married forthwith. Three short months later he was posted overseas.
He saw action in Europe flying in Halifax bombers with 51 Squadron in the RAF. Having survived over 40 missions across Germany he was later awarded the DFC (Distinguish Flying Cross) for his courageous feats of navigation across his tour of duty. He flew on D-day and in 2015 (the 70th anniversary of D Day) the French Government awarded him and a small number of other Bomber Command survivors the French Legion of Honour. He was then 94.
Bert Tinning was not a man who hated the enemy. They, like him, were acting out of along-standing tradition of ‘duty’ and that sense of duty was a major orienting feature of his life after the war. His time flying in the RAF also made him 'rather English' in outlook and style, and even to the day he died, Bert Tinning was known as a well-dressed, elegant and urbane gentleman.
After the war, Bert the modest hero, quietly resumed his civilian life. Bert was not one to attend Anzac Day parades or drink at the RSL Club reminiscing over old times. He put his energy and dedication into building a family and a career as a Town Planner and later City Architect in the emerging city of Preston, where he felt privileged to work for the next 35 years.
This is why I'm committed to helping you reach your fitness goals in a way that lasts. I can’t wait to see the results you achieve!
