about us
BY COOPER ROBBINS, FOUNDER OF CR STRENGTH & CONDITIONING
CR S&C was built to raise the standard of athlete development in Gippsland.
As a strength and conditioning coach, I’ve always believed that athletes deserve more than just a gym program. They deserve a complete system that supports every part of their performance. Growing up in regional Victoria, I saw first-hand how limited the pathways were for athletes outside the city. That gap became the reason this business exists.
Since founding CR S&C, our mission has been clear: to deliver professional-level coaching, testing and support to every athlete who walks through our doors. Regardless of their sport, age or experience level.
Today, CR S&C has grown into Gippsland’s Leading Athlete Development facility, providing athletes with access to:
Comprehensive Performance Testing and Data Analysis
Individualised Strength and Conditioning programs
Recovery, Nutrition and Mental Skills support
A results-driven culture that develops character as much as performance
Everything we do is backed by data, driven by coaching experience, and focused on helping athletes perform at their best not just for one season, but for the long term.
We’re committed to creating the environment I wish existed when I was younger. A place where athletes can develop the tools, confidence and consistency to reach their potential.

why choose us?
“Cooper’s training has helped me gain strength in my lower and upper body as well as develop my running and jumping technique. Leading to my speed and agility improving more than anything on the court. And as Cooper says, we have only just begun, and I cannot wait to see how I improve training with him. ”
Meg Cooper | Basketball
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Coop’s knowledge and understanding on how our body works is amazing. He took the time and effort to make me the best I can be - the benefits of working with a trainer who has an abundance of knowledge. He can tailor a program to allow you to achieve your goals. I worked with him for rehab of an injury as well as during off and in season when I was at Gippsland Power. If you want to become a better athlete and continue to improve, I highly recommend. ”
Tom Evans | Gippsland Power
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Gonna be a wicked off season and will be absolutely smashing it next year, physically feeling unreal and mentally in an awesome spot also. Training is measured but enough to keep my mind ticking and just really getting it going lately. If anyone is weighing up getting coaching with you send them my way, worth every dollar and exactly what I needed. ”
Mitch Jones | Motorcross
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Cooper and his team at CR Strength & Conditioning have brought their knowledge and training techniques to the private sector, which is usually hidden behind professional sporting clubs closed doors. This means that local athletes now have access this premium service to achieve their sporting goals. Since starting with CR S&C I have ticked off some running achievements that I have been chasing for sometime which previously seemed far from achievable. I’m looking forward to what lies ahead and where we can take this. Getting faster, stronger & running further whilst being injury free is a game changer. Trust the process & results will come. ”
Corey Milner | Distance Running
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Before starting with Cooper I was struggling to work pain free and hadn’t been able to play footy for 2 years through injury. After taking a completely different approach to my training and focusing on extra activation and mobility exercises and a new range of strength and speed exercises I can confidently say I’ve never moved better or been so pain free. Highly recommend it if you are looking to level up! ”
Tommy Wyatt | Distance Running
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“After having Cooper as my personal trainer for half a year now, my body feels a lot stronger in all areas which has led to less injuries throughout the pre-season and season. I could not recommend Coop any higher for any young athletes of any sport who are seeking to improve strength, power, speed or endurance. ”
Vinnie Caia | Gippsland Power
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I got in contact with Cooper Robbins and after only a few weeks training with him, my muscular strength and power had huge improvements, also seeing my acceleration speed improve (which I have struggled with in the past). Not long after I was picked for the U17s Gippsland Power squad, and then asked to play up in the 19s for the rest of the season. Without Cooper’s help I would not be where I am now and will stay with CRS&C for the rest of the season.”
Rhys Galvin | Gippsland Power
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I went to CR S&C to increase my body composition, speed / power and develop solid training habits which I thought I had already established. Cooper kept me accountable for my training by checking in all the time and the result of that was my athletic results changed dramatically I put on muscle, gained 10cm in my vertical jump and got faster after a few solid months of training. He helped condition my body to prepare me for a big 2022! ”
Koby Grass | Gippsland Power
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Since training with CR S&C for the last 6 months, my football has developed and made my body feel stronger which has led to having less injuries throughout the season. Cooper has built my strength, speed, endurance and power with setting me a program to suit what I want to achieve. Anyone in any sport wanting to take their game to the next level, go to coop as he is the best person for the job to get you to where you want to be. ”
