Emma Bevan

Owner · Head Coach

2026 CrossFit Games Semifinalist · 121st Worldwide

Eighteen years of coaching, seventeen as an athlete, and still competing at the top of the sport. Emma has led TandEm for over a decade and is on the gym floor every single day — because she believes most people have no idea what they're truly capable of until someone shows them.

Travis Hall

Co-Founder · Coach

Travis founded TandEm alongside Emma and brings 18 years of coaching to the floor — with WAFL footy, baseball and gymnastics behind him before CrossFit took over. He reckons CrossFit would have made him a better footballer, and coaches like he's making up for lost time. His real strength is people: he coaches the person, not just the reps.

Favourite lift: the snatch · Favourite workout: Cindy · Mortal enemy: Karen — the exact opposite of Emma, in all things gym.

Matt Austin

Coach

Matt found CrossFit in 2016 off the back of a football career and a lifetime of team sports — and it shows in how he coaches: everyone in it together, nobody left behind.

Favourite workout: Nancy · Favourite toy: the rings · Sworn enemies: push-ups and Karen

Jotik Serje

Coach

Jotik started training from home at 16 and was coaching by 21 — a decade-plus of CrossFit that ran all the way to opening his own gym in Colombia before he brought it all to the TandEm floor. His philosophy is stitched into everything he coaches: it's not easy — unless you make it EZ. Ask him why he coaches and he'll tell you his mind goes completely quiet on the floor. It takes him out of everything else.

Favourite lift: squat clean · Mortal enemy: handstand holds · Off the floor: ping pong tragic

Thomas Jourdhas

Coach

Thomas grew up in France playing every sport he could find — rugby, judo, boxing, athletics, even contemporary dance — before CrossFit found him in 2020. He arrived in Australia in 2024 to "stop dreaming about my life and live it", coached full-time in Darwin, and landed on the TandEm floor with a double degree in Sport Science and his CrossFit Level 2. Ask him why he coaches and he'll tell you about a French grandfather who couldn't lift his grandson without shoulder pain — until a couple of months of smart programming had him playing with his grandkids all day, pain-free. "I'm part of the process," he says. That's the whole job.

Favourite lift: squat clean · Happy place: Cindy, Murph and anything gymnastics · Mortal enemies: wall balls and DB box step-ups
