I managed to lose 10kg and my knee pain disappeared in only 12 weeks. I’m now preparing for my first half marathon pain-free and feeling stronger than ever! Many thanks to Odysseas and the team at My Knee Coach for supporting me on my journey More...

In just 12 weeks of working with Odysseas I lost 8kg, my knee pain has gone, and I finally feel confident running again.
George
Training with Odysseas has been life-changing. I was struggling with knee pain while preparing for my marathon, and on top of that, I needed to lose weight. Thanks to the tailored coaching and clear guidance, my knee pain is no longer holding me back, and I’ve lost 11kg along the way. I feel fitter, lighter, and more confident heading into race day. Highly recommend! More...

I began working with Odysseas to help with ongoing knee pain and to prepare for my upcoming trail event. The coaching and support have been fantastic — my knee pain has gone, and I feel stronger and more confident heading into the trails. Thanks so much Odysseas for your support More...

Working with Odysseas has been a game changer. In just 12 weeks I’ve lost 10kg, reduced the knee pain that’s bothered me for years, and even managed to run my first half marathon — something I never thought possible. The training and nutrition plan was clear, tailored to my lifestyle, and easy to follow. What impressed me most was the support and accountability — I always felt guided and motivated. If you want real results and a coach who genuinely cares, do it! More...
Emma
I started working with Odysseas because knee pain was holding me back from running. His coaching gave me the structure and support I needed — within weeks the pain eased, and by the end of the program I was running completely pain-free. I even managed to train for and finish my marathon feeling stronger than ever. I’m so glad I found him, his approach really works More...
Sarah
I honestly didn’t know where to start. I’d been struggling with knee pain for years and felt stuck, and on top of that I wanted to lose weight but nothing seemed to work. Working with Odysseas completely changed that. In just 12 weeks I’ve lost 9kg, my knee pain is gone, and I finally feel confident with both my running and my day-to-day movement. The coaching, support, and structure made all the difference — I couldn’t recommend him enough! More...
Alex
After tearing my ACL in 2022, I struggled with ongoing knee pain even after months of rehab. I tried a number of different physios and trainers, but Odysseas was the first one that actually made a difference. Three years after my injury, I am now finally able to run pain-free and it’s all thanks to Odysseas. Can’t recommend him enough! More...

I wish I knew Odysseas before !
An MRI revealed that I had a knee condition and at the time I couldn’t even bend them without pain.
At 27 I thought my passion for sport and running was over ! But Odysseas built me a customized program, and every week I was gaining in range of motion. We were tracking how my body felt, how I was fueling, how I was sleeping and my cycles. All this combined and the unbelievable knowledge and coaching skill of Odysseas made me completely pain free and I ran my first 10k in a year feeling amazing !
I couldn’t thank him enough. I would recommend him to anyone in search of an experienced, supportive and dedicated coach !

I really appreciate my time with Dean, he helped me gain 5kg of lean muscle over 16 weeks. Couldn't be happier!
How important is a healthy diet to someone’s health and wellbeing?
A healthy diet is absolutely essential to overall health and wellbeing.
As a coach, I see it as the foundation for performance, recovery, and long-term joint health.
The right nutrition fuels training, reduces inflammation, supports tissue repair, and keeps energy levels stable — all of which directly impact how you feel and how well your body performs.
You can do all the right exercises, but without good nutrition, you’re only getting half the results you could.
It’s not about perfection — it’s about consistently making choices that support your goals and keep you moving pain-free.
How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
I help my clients achieve their fitness goals by creating highly personalised, science-backed programs tailored to their body, goals, and lifestyle.
Whether it’s running pain-free, hitting a personal best, or building overall strength, I combine:
Individualised training plans that progress at the right pace
Sports science principles to maximise performance and reduce injury risk
Ongoing feedback and adjustments so every session moves them closer to their goal
Education so they understand why we’re doing each exercise and can take ownership of their progress
I don’t believe in “cookie-cutter” workouts — I coach the person, not just the plan. This approach keeps clients consistent, motivated, and getting measurable results.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
The secret is simple — but not always easy: consistency, the right plan, and patience.
Most people chase quick fixes, but lasting results come from showing up week after week with a program that’s tailored to your body and your goals. That means training smart, not just hard, and combining strength, mobility, and conditioning in the right balance.
Nutrition, recovery, and mindset are just as important as the workouts. I make sure my clients understand all three so they can not only reach their goal but keep it for life.
It’s not about perfection — it’s about building sustainable habits that add up to the body (and performance) you’ve always wanted.
What do you love most about your job?
What I love most is seeing the transformation — not just in someone’s performance, but in their confidence and quality of life.
When a runner messages me saying they’ve just finished a pain-free run for the first time in months, or they’ve hit a personal best they never thought possible, it’s incredibly rewarding.
I get to combine my passion for sports science with helping people move, feel, and perform better — and that never gets old.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I started my own business because I saw too many runners being given generic advice that treated symptoms, not the cause of their pain.
As a sports scientist, former sprinter, and pro footballer, I knew there was a better way — one that used proven training methods to rebuild strength, improve force absorption, and keep people performing at their best.
Launching my own coaching business meant I could help runners all over the world, give them personalised solutions, and build a community focused on lasting results, not quick fixes.
Why should our clients choose you?
Clients should choose me because I combine real-world athletic experience with sports science expertise to deliver results that last.
I’ve been a sprinter, a professional footballer, and now a coach who’s helped hundreds of runners eliminate knee pain and run stronger than ever. My approach is personalised, rooted in evidence, and focused on fixing the cause — not just the symptoms.
You won’t get a cookie-cutter program. You’ll get a tailored plan, ongoing feedback, and a coach who genuinely cares about your progress. My goal is simple: to help you run pain-free, perform at your best, and enjoy every step of the journey.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes — all of my coaching can be delivered 100% online.
I work with runners worldwide using personalised training plans, video demonstrations, and progress tracking. Clients send me form videos for feedback, we have regular check-ins, and I adjust their program as they improve.
Whether you’re training for a 5K, a marathon, or coming back from injury, you’ll get the same level of expert support as if we were working together in person — without location holding you back.
