About SALT PERFORMANCE TRAINING

SALT Performance Training is a Coolangatta-based outdoor fitness and surf-conditioning operation founded by Marcos Freitas, blending athletic strength work with a deep connection to movement in nature. Set against the southern Gold Coast coastline, it has carved out a distinctive niche coaching surfers and everyday athletes alike, training in parks and beachside locations rather than a conventional gym floor.

The philosophy is rooted in functional, progressive movement. Sessions are built around mobility, agility, strength, coordination, endurance, flexibility and core stability, with surf-specific conditioning at the heart of the offering. Marcos brings a background in physical conditioning and physical education, and has worked with everyone from professional surfers through to weekend groms, giving the coaching a genuinely athlete-centred feel.

What clients consistently praise is the personal touch and the ability to train mixed-age, mixed-ability groups so everyone progresses together. Whether you are a competitive surfer, a junior finding your feet, or simply someone chasing all-round fitness in the fresh air, SALT positions itself as approachable, safe and effective. The mix of private, semi-private and group formats, plus an online training option, makes it flexible for a wide range of goals and lifestyles around Coolangatta and Currumbin.
