Background
THE FULL STORY
David Lambropoulos has built a career at the intersection of strength and conditioning and endurance performance. He holds a Master of Exercise Science (Strength and Conditioning) from Edith Cowan University, and is an ASCA Level 2 S&C Coach and Triathlon Australia Certified Coach. His coaching spans elite professional sport through to age-group athletes chasing their first finish line.
As Head of Athlete Performance at SportsFit Health and Rehab in Five Dock, David works daily with endurance athletes navigating the fine line between training load and injury. That performance lens informs everything he does as a coach: every programme is built with injury prevention as a non-negotiable, not an afterthought.
He is an Ironman All World Athlete with years of experience competing in triathlon. He understands firsthand what it takes to build the fitness to complete and compete across all distances, and what it costs when training goes wrong. That experience is embedded in every plan he writes.
BEYOND THE POOL, BIKE AND RUN
David's coaching footprint extends well beyond triathlon. He is part of the team at CCACHE x BODYWRAP, one of Australia's leading UCI Continental professional cycling teams competing domestically and across the UCI Asia Tour.
Across the school and club system, he serves as S&C Coach and Triathlon Coach at St Andrews Cathedral School, S&C Coach at Balance Tri Club, and Head of S&C at Inner West Magpies AFL. He is also part of the performance and recovery team at NSW Triathlon, contributing to the development of the next generation of Australian triathletes.
This breadth of experience means his athletes benefit from programming that draws on the highest levels of performance science, not just what works in age-group triathlon.
WHY IT MATTERS FOR YOUR COACHING
Most triathlon coaches are either ex-athletes or exercise scientists. Very few are both, and fewer still bring experience coaching at the professional level into the same package. When you work with David, you get a programme informed by elite sport, structured around your physiology, your schedule, and your body. The standard of programming is the same whether you are chasing a first finish line or a podium.
