TRAIN HARDER ISN'T THE ANSWER
TRAIN WITH A PLAN
Badminton-specific strength & conditioning for ambitious players who are putting in the work — but not seeing it translate on court.
You don't need another random workout from Instagram. You need a structured training system built around your game, your schedule and your weaknesses — so you can move faster, recover quicker and compete with confidence.
12 weeks · Fully personalised · Online coaching

YOU'RE PUTTING IN THE WORK.
SO WHY ISN'T IT SHOWING UP ON COURT?
👍🏼 You're training 2-4 times a week.
👍🏼 You're getting to the gym when you can.
👍🏼 You're watching videos, trying new workouts and constantly looking
for ways to improve.
👎🏼 But you're still not moving as quickly as you know you could.
Maybe you recognise this:
You're training, but without a clear progression.
Every week looks a little different, so your effort never really compounds.
You're doing fitness, but not necessarily badminton fitness.
General strength and conditioning doesn't automatically make you faster to the shuttle or better at repeating high-intensity movements.
You keep starting and stopping.
Work gets busy. A tournament comes up. You miss a week. The programme falls apart. Then you start again.
The problem isn't your effort.
It's the lack of a system.
You don't need more information.
You need to know what to do, why you're doing it, and how it should progress.

THIS ISN'T A FITNESS COACH WHO HAPPENS TO PLAY BADMINTON.
I've spent 15 years learning what actually makes a badminton player better
I started playing at 12 — late by most standards.
I wasn't the most naturally gifted player in the room. What I did have was the drive to figure out what produced results, and the discipline to keep working at it.
That took me from a late-starting junior to the Olympic stage and 15 years on the world tour.
Along the way, I completed a degree in Exercise Science and spent years working with coaches, S&C professionals, physios and athletes at the highest level.
I've coached everyone from beginner through to National Champions ageing from 13 through to 72 years old.
I've experienced the plateaus, injuries, setbacks and frustration that come with trying to improve.
BADFIT is where I take everything I've learned and translate it into a system that works for active players and optimise their training to be as efficient as an elite athlete.
You have a job. You have commitments. You have court sessions.
Your training needs to work with your life — not against it.
FROM TRAINING HARD TO TRAINING WITH PURPOSE
FROM
❌ Random workouts from the internet
❌ Starting programmes and never finishing them
❌ Training hard without knowing what's actually limiting you
❌ Generic gym work that doesn't translate to court
❌ Wondering whether your training is actually working
TO
✓ A clear training structure built around your badminton
✓ Faster, more efficient movement around the court
✓ Better physical capacity to repeat high-intensity efforts
✓ Confidence that your training is moving you forward
✓ A system you can continue using long after the 12 weeks
THE GOAL:
Not to train more. To make the training count.
Testimonials
Here's what people are saying
GINCY GEORGE
India, Intermediate
"I've Gotten Stronger and Faster During This Time."
“I joined BADFIT because I felt slow on court and Gronya seemed like a great coach. For over 2 years now she's adapted my program to my goals and I've stayed consistent even during periods thanks to her guidance. Ultimately, I'm faster and stronger since starting!"
Ramona uprus
Estonia, Elite
"I Find Myself Having More Stamina During Games!"
“I was training consistently but my gym wasn't specific to badminton and I needed to improve my court fitness for singles. Having a personalised programme built by Gronya around my badminton completely changed how I approached my gym sessions and drastically improved my cardio for singles. I became Estonia WD Champion in 2023, partly thanks to BADFIT".
Samuel cassar
Malta, Elite
"Triple Crowned at Nationals!"
"I needed an adaptive program for training at home and whilst travelling for tournaments. The guidance and programming has helped me improved significantly and increased my World Rank by 150 places and given me a competitive edge on the court."
