Performance coaching is one-on-one work aimed at a specific outcome rather than general fitness: a competition, a return to sport after injury, a physically demanding job, or a personal target you have been circling for years. Greg Cooper coaches the physical side — strength, conditioning, movement quality — and the mental side: how you prepare, how you handle pressure, and how you keep going when progress stalls. It runs out of Eastgate Physiotherapy in Sherwood Park and starts with a free introductory consultation. It is a coaching service, not a health treatment, and is booked separately from physiotherapy.

Competitive athletes preparing for a season, a tournament or a return after injury; combat sports athletes who want conditioning that respects their training load; professionals whose work is physically demanding; and people coming off physiotherapy who want to go past “back to normal”.

A performance block starts with an assessment of where you are physically, an honest conversation about the target, and a written plan with dates. From there the work is coached one-on-one: training sessions, review of what you are doing between sessions, and regular check-ins against the plan.
The mindset side is not an add-on. Judo teaches that composure under pressure is trained the same way strength is: deliberately and repeatedly. Greg brings that into the coaching through goal-setting, routines for competition or high-stakes days, and a practical approach to resilience when things go wrong.

Call (587) 200-4874 or book online and ask for Greg to arrange your free introductory consultation.
Coaching sits alongside the clinic’s physiotherapy services rather than replacing them. If you are returning from an injury, the physiotherapist sets the limits and Greg works inside them, so return-to-sport milestones are agreed rather than guessed at.
Staged return-to-sport rehabilitation with clear criteria at each stage. Coaching picks up the strength and conditioning needed to pass them. Read more about sports physiotherapy →
Assessment and treatment for pain and injury. If you are hurt, this comes first. Read more about physiotherapy →
General strength and fitness coaching, one-on-one, without a competition date attached. Read more about personal training →
Coaching is paid directly. Sessions are 45 or 60 minutes; the introductory consultation is free. Read more about self-pay fees →
If you are currently in pain or injured, a physiotherapy assessment comes first. Call the clinic and we will point you to the right person.
Every block is built to one person’s target. The steps below are how Greg takes you from a first conversation to the day that matters, with the plan reviewed against dates rather than left to drift.
The goal, the timeline, your training and injury history, and what a plan would look like. You leave knowing whether it is the right fit and what it would cost.
Strength, conditioning and movement quality measured against what the target actually demands, so the plan trains the right things.
A written block working back from the target: what is trained when, how hard, and where the check-ins fall.
Forty-five or sixty minutes one-on-one, with the work between sessions reviewed so the plan is followed, not just written.
Routines for competition or high-stakes days, goal-setting, and a practical approach to resilience when a week goes badly.
Measures repeated at set points so adjustments are made early rather than the week before the event.
For a return from injury, the physiotherapist decides readiness for each stage and Greg coaches you to meet it. Notes are shared with your permission.
Coaching inside Eastgate means the physiotherapy team is a few steps away. A niggle in the middle of a block is assessed properly rather than trained through, and a return-to-sport plan is agreed between coach and physiotherapist instead of guessed at. The setting is quieter and more private than a commercial gym, and the attention is one-on-one for the whole session. Eastgate has served Sherwood Park for more than 35 years.
A plan built to your target rather than a generic program, physical preparation you can measure, a way of handling pressure that you have practised rather than hoped for, and a coach who is invested in the outcome. Just as important, the habits and self-knowledge to prepare for the next target on your own.
Performance coaching is a coaching service and is paid for directly. It is not billed to extended health plans, WCB or motor vehicle (Section B) claims, which cover physiotherapy, massage and acupuncture at the clinic but not coaching.
Sessions are 45 or 60 minutes, individually or as a block. Ask the front desk for current rates; the introductory consultation is free.
Extended health plans, WCB and Section B do not cover coaching. Your physiotherapy stays covered as usual.
Some health or wellness spending accounts accept coaching receipts. Check your plan; itemised receipts are provided.
Coaching is booked and billed separately from your physiotherapy visits, even on the same day.
Not sure what your plan allows? The front desk can explain how coaching is billed alongside your physiotherapy. See our funding pages for the health services that are covered.
A coaching block has a beginning and an end. Greg sets the target with you, measures progress against it at fixed points, and builds toward you arriving prepared — physically and mentally — on the day. Afterwards, most people carry on with lighter check-ins or move to personal training to keep building between targets.
Performance coaching at Eastgate Physiotherapy in Sherwood Park starts with a free introductory consultation with Greg Cooper. Call (587) 200-4874 or book online and ask for Greg.
Greg Cooper is Eastgate’s performance coach and personal trainer, a second-degree black belt in judo and the lead instructor at Kodokwai Judo Club. He works with competitive athletes, working professionals and people pursuing a personal goal, and his approach rests on the judo principles of maximum efficiency and mutual welfare: focused effort, no wasted work, and a coach who is invested in you doing well. Group training, judo and mindset-only coaching are also available on request. Coaching is a fitness service and is not covered by health benefits.
Personal training is about general strength and fitness with a coach. Performance coaching is aimed at a defined outcome with a timeline, and includes the preparation and mindset work that a target like that needs.
No. Performance coaching is a coaching service delivered alongside the clinic, not a health treatment, and it is not covered by health benefits. If you have pain or an injury, a physiotherapy assessment comes first.
No. A goal is enough: a first competition, a physical test for work, a hike you have been putting off, or a personal target. The plan is built to the goal, not to a level of athleticism.
Yes, in coordination with your physiotherapist. The physiotherapist decides when you are ready for each stage; Greg coaches the strength, conditioning and confidence to get there. If you are treated at Eastgate the two share notes with your permission.
Yes. Some people want the goal-setting and mental preparation side without a physical program, or alongside training they already do elsewhere. Ask at the consultation.
Coaching is self-pay. Sessions are 45 or 60 minutes and can be booked individually or as a block for a specific goal; ask the front desk for current rates. The introductory consultation is free.
No. Extended health plans, WCB and Section B cover physiotherapy, massage and acupuncture at the clinic but not coaching. Some wellness or health spending accounts accept coaching receipts; check your plan.
A conversation with Greg about the goal, the timeline, your training and injury history, and what a plan would look like. You leave knowing whether it is the right fit and what it would cost.
Yes. Many people run a performance block after, or alongside, physiotherapy. The physiotherapist sets the limits; Greg works inside them.
It depends on the goal. A return-to-sport block is often eight to twelve weeks; a season-long plan runs with lighter check-ins. Greg proposes a length at the consultation.
