WHERE PASSION FOR BADMINTON MEETS FITNESS INNOVATION
I'm Gronya Somerville (left), the founder and enthusiast behind BADFIT, dedicated to redefining your badminton experience.
As an Australian Olympian and Exercise Scientist, I understand the unique blend of skill, agility, and strength required to excel in the sport. BADFIT was born out of the desire to elevate your badminton journey by fusing it with user friendly, accessible fitness solutions.
A modern & more effective approach to take your badminton to the next level.
We inspire athletes of all levels to achieve peak performance, both on and off the court. With a focus on badminton-specific fitness programs, we offer a diverse range of innovative services designed to have you as strong as a weight lifter with the speed of Usain Bolt, combined to create the overall athleticism needed to be an amazing badminton player. From generalised training programs to personalised workout plans catered to your work schedule, we're here to empower you to take your badminton game to new heights.
I started BADFIT because I wanted to merge my obsession for badminton with Exercise Science, while travelling and competing on tour. BADFIT Online Coaching began in 2022, with the goal to positively impact as many badminton players to improve their badminton and fitness.
I'm proud to say that since then, I have empowered players to be confident to go to the gym again, lose 7kg and helped coach my athlete to an Estonian National Women's Doubles Title!
BADFIT helps support my own badminton career and motivates me to work with other elite players as coaches so they too can share their expertise and have more freedom to chase their dreams.
At BADFIT, we believe that fitness should be fun, challenging, and tailored to your individual goals. Whether you're a casual player or a competitive athlete, our goal is to be your trusted partner in advancing your fitness and badminton level.
Join us on this exciting journey of learning how to train like an elite athlete and smashing your badminton goals!
Our coaches understand the game of badminton from a players perspective and all the different types of training required. We also understand balancing it with your every day life. Our team includes badminton specific strength and conditioning coaches as well as professional badminton coaches for all the court specific coaching you need to improve your game.
We provide a variety of different services to meet your needs and budget. We have short low cost programs, detailed video analysis and feedback and free resources all the way up to 1:1 personalised programming and mentoring.
