Hey,
I'm Jay
25+ years across strength & conditioning, breathwork, somatic bodywork, nervous‑system regulation, and integrative health. My work blends disciplined performance with deep inner alignment.
Humble Beginnings
Onyx Elite was born from humble beginnings in 2001, when a small backyard passion project space became the catalyst for a lifelong mission: to help people evolve into the strongest, most aligned version of themselves.
What started as a side passion — juggling painting work, naturopathy study, and early-morning PT sessions —quickly transformed into a full-time vocation anchored in purpose, discipline, and service. Evolving from a 50sqm setup into a 12sqm multidisciplinary performance facility. Home to specialist coaches and a world-class professional boxing team competing on the global stage.

A Foundation Built on Performance, Resilience
Over two decades, Jay’s journey with Onyx Elite has spanned every corner of human performance. Jay has coached, mentored, and influenced a vast spectrum of individuals:
• Professional & amateur boxers competing on elite global stages, athletes, adventure racers, triathletes, and ultra-endurance competitors, Powerlifters, sports teams, and athletes across rugby, football, cricket, and more.
• Clients seeking strength, transformation, rehabilitation, and renewed purpose.
• Individuals navigating personal adversity, reinvention, and identity shifts.
• Retreat participants seeking depth, clarity, connection, and embodied resilience.
Years of immersion across diverse training modalities — from combat sports to functional conditioning, recovery systems to esoteric inner work — have shaped a system built not on theory, but lived experience. This fusion of lived experience and coaching mastery shaped the core philosophy:
Immerse – Adapt – Evolve.
When you commit to meeting your edges, you discover who you truly are. Through this lens, thousands have been guided to breakthroughs in strength, resilience, self-belief and pivotal transformation.

Guiding Philosophy: The Path of Resilience
My belief is simple: the more willingly we face adversity, the more unshakeable we become. Every challenge offers a chance to evolve. Hardship becomes a forge for resilience. Pressure reveals character. When you refuse to break, you discover your depth.
There is a profound confidence in the individual who refuses to quit. That individual is me—and it is my mission to cultivate that same fire in others. Success, whether in sport or life, demands full responsibility. If you prepare at 70%, you will always find an excuse. If you prepare at 100%—every detail, every repetition, every one-percenter—and you still lose, you carry zero shame. You walked in with integrity. That is power. That is freedom. That is the path.

Embodied Leadership — Inner Work, Ceremony & Self Discovery
Beyond physical performance, Onyx Elite is rooted in deep internal exploration. Through years of plant medicine ceremonies, esoteric journeys, shadow work, vulnerability and conscious self-inquiry, an undeniable purpose emerged:
To serve, uplift, and empower others to evolve into their highest expression.
Connecting to the deepest layers of self — facing the shadows, embracing failure, and choosing authenticity—creates the gateway to true personal power. This is where transformation takes root. This is where individuals meet their most awakened, aligned, and capable selves.

"Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms-to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves."
