About Coach

Dyl is an accomplished coach with a rich sporting background spanning multiple disciplines. He played five years in the Victorian Football League (VFL), representing both Richmond and Coburg, and boasts two VFL premierships along with a TAC Cup premiership. Beyond football, Dyl is a decorated swimmer, having won three Victorian swimming titles and one national swimming title.

Since 2018, Dyl has been actively involved in CrossFit, showcasing his dedication to fitness and high-performance training. His interests extend beyond sports into music, jiu-jitsu, and waterskiing. A unique fun fact about Dyl is that he has released his own album titled Karma Armour, named after his dog, which is available on iTunes and Spotify.

This diverse athletic and creative background informs Dyl’s dynamic coaching style, blending elite sports experience with a passion for holistic fitness and personal development.

Turning Point

Dyl’s turning point arrived as he neared the end of his VFL career, having already established himself as an elite athlete with a 9:42 3km and a beep test score of 16.12—numbers that placed him well ahead of his peers. While dabbling in CrossFit during this time, Dyl discovered something that resonated more deeply than competition alone: the power of the CrossFit methodology to transform lives, not just his own, but those of everyday people inside the affiliates.

Stepping away from the VFL, Dyl committed himself fully to CrossFit, driven by a desire to see how far he could go in the sport competitively. But at the core, he was—and remains—a believer in the CrossFit approach: constantly varied, functional movements executed at high intensity, scalable for anyone, and proven to deliver universal, repeatable results. For Dyl, the magic of CrossFit wasn’t just in the personal athletic challenge, but in the way it fosters community, builds confidence, and empowers people from all walks of life to move better and live healthier.

This shift was about more than athletic ambition; it was about embracing a methodology that could help anyone unlock their potential. Dyl’s journey stands as a testament to the transformative power of CrossFit—not just for elite athletes, but for everyone who walks through the doors of an affiliate, ready to put in the work and experience real, lasting change

Motivation & Passion

Dyl’s motivation as a coach is rooted in a deep appreciation for the art of movement and the individuality of every athlete. His coaching philosophy is simple yet profound: Gymnastics is a demonstration of how well YOU can move YOUR body. He believes that since every person has a unique body type, each athlete’s movement will naturally differ. Dyl’s passion lies in helping every individual discover their own most efficient, expressive way to move—striving for poetry in motion, even under the fatigue of training or competition.

Dyl’s approach is methodical and calm, creating an environment where athletes feel supported and challenged. He encourages you to embrace the process, focusing on the quality of movement rather than comparison with others. The goal is not to mimic someone else’s form, but to refine your own, becoming as efficient and graceful as possible.

He wants every session to be a journey toward moving better, not just harder. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced athlete, Dyl is committed to guiding you with patience, structure, and a steady presence—helping you unlock your potential and move with confidence, efficiency, and artistry.
