Meet the team behind Sportif
Every coach at Sportif has competed at a high level. Every one of them chose to be here because they care about what happens to the people they train.
Sportif was created with one belief at its core — that great coaching changes people's lives. Not just their fitness, but their confidence, their energy, and their sense of what's possible.
What started as a small outdoor training service at Rawson Oval has become one of Mosman's most trusted boutique studios. We work with busy professionals, parents, and people at every stage of their fitness journey — and we take every single one of them seriously. You'll find no generic programs here, no crowded classes, and no coaching on autopilot. Just people who know what they're doing and genuinely care about your progress.
Our Team
jessica cross
From a young age she dedicated herself to competitive swimming, eventually trialling for the Australian Olympic Games in both 2000 and 2004. She is a NSW State Champion (Duathlon), a multiple NSW State Swimming Medallist, and a recipient of the NSW Pierre De Coubertin Olympic Award, one of the most prestigious sporting honours in the state.
She hasn't stopped. Today — while running Sportif and raising a family — Jess continues to compete at world level, most recently placing 5th globally at the 35+ Bikini Athletic World Championships. She has completed two Noosa Triathlons, two Blackmores Half Marathons, the CoastTrek 50km from Palm Beach to Balmoral, and the Oxfam 100km Trailwalker.
With over 14 years of coaching experience, Jess brings something most trainers can't: she genuinely knows what it takes to perform at the highest level and still show up for everything else. That's the perspective she brings to every client, every session, every program she designs.

Founder/ Head Trainer
scott fletcher
A national-level sailor for a decade and a National Champion, Scott also spent 20 years competing in surf boat rowing at the highest level, reaching the Australian Surf Life Saving Championships, finishing as a National Rowers League Finalist, and placing 2nd and 3rd at State. He played First Grade Colts rugby for Manly, has competed at the Noosa Triathlon, and completed the Oxfam 100km Trailwalker.
Scott's background in elite team and endurance sport means he understands training discipline, how to push people past what they think they're capable of, and how to keep them coming back for more. His clients consistently remark on how much they enjoy — and are genuinely challenged by — his sessions.
