HEY! I’M COACH BANJ.
Thank you for visiting our website, it means the world to me. So here's a little about me. I was born and raised in South London, UK by my proud Filipino parents. I am a performance training specialist to some of the best athletes in Europe and Asia - taking a holistic approach training built around health, fitness and performance.
Growing up as an aspiring athlete - who wasn’t “athletic” or “gifted”- I managed to carve out a solid collegiate and semi-pro career which have shaped my post playing career, I was and lucky enough to travel the world because of a game while I can say the game blessed me with my closest friends to this day. Although, I never “made it” to the highest level playing, in hindsight my journey laid the foundation to where I am now as a mentor and coach, I’ve built (and continue to build) an understanding of the ‘why’ as much as the ‘how’ through a blend of own experiences and continual learning and development. Basketball reflects everyday life. Through the game, I've developed important life skills both on and off the court that I carry with me today.
Have you ever stepped into a gym and then had no idea where to start? Or ever worked tirelessly only to see little transfer from your training to your sport? This is where I come in. I wish I knew the things I know now.
Whether you’re brand new to exercise or a seasoned pro, an athlete or a coach, FunctionAll can elevate you further. I've been working hard to bring the FUNCTIONALL PERFORMANCE method to as many people as possible.

“Training with Banj has been a game-changer for my basketball performance. Not only are his strength and conditioning programs tailored to my specific needs, but their dedication and positivity make every session enjoyable and this is why I’ve been working with for over a decade. Banj genuinely cares about my progress, pushing me to be my best both on and off the court."

Taiwo Badmus, Ireland International & Valur Reykjavik (Iceland Subway League)

“I can’t recommend Banj highly enough! His attention to detail and dedication to his craft truly set him apart. Every session is tailored to my needs, and his hard work shines through in the progress I’ve made. I genuinely enjoy training with him— his positive attitude and expertise make every workout not just effective, but also enjoyable."

Devon van Oostrum, GB International & Rans Simba Bogor (Indonesia Basketball League)

“I initially saw Banj's videos on Instagram and knew from there I wanted to work with him and his emphasis on movement and basketball specific training was something I wanted to add to my offseason plan. In the time we have worked together I feel the improvements as my body feels a lot better after every workout. My hips were extremely tight and now they feel good which allows me to move better on the court and play at a higher level.”

Dan Akin, GB International & Pro Athlete (Scafati Basket, Lega Basket Serie A)

“I met Coach Banj through a friend of mine who had recommended him to me and said that he was a top class trainer. So when I came back to England, I immediately tapped in with him, and I was thoroughly impressed with the how intentional all the exercises were, and the amount of attention to detail coach focused on. I don’t get to spend much time in England, but when I’m back, I always make sure to get in the gym with Banj because I know how we get the work that I need in order to improve my athleticism, coordination and durability."

Josh Uduje, USU Alumni & Current San Jose State University MBB Player (NCAA D1, USA)

“I love training with coach Banj! He’s really the best in the game. He’ll always get you right. He not only cares about you as an athlete but also cares for you as a person. He pushes you every session to the best of your ability, he works you hard EVERY TIME so you can be the best you could possibly be!"

Precious Omoshola, Fordham University WBB (NCAA D1, USA)

“Banj is an amazing guy man. Last summer when there was nowhere to hoop, he would run sessions for free to help develop athletes and it’s a testament to his generosity. He cares about his clients and genuinely wants the best for them. Training with him both on the court and in the weight room has been a great experience as he knows what aspects to cover which ultimately translates to real game situations. Training with him has helped my confidence and my leadership largely."

Toto Fagbenle, GB 3x3 player & Pro Athlete (Caledonia Gladiators, SBL)

“I love working out with Banj because all of the work I’m put through is tailored to my style of play. Working with him over the summer has kept me in great shape and had me ready for the season ahead. I highly recommend working with Banj if your serious about improving your game.”

Luke Bamgboye, '24 McDAAG Nominee & VCU MBB Player (NCAA D1, USA)

“I love training with Coach Banj because he takes the time to analyse and understand my individual needs and pushes me to work hard, improving my fundamentals both on the court and in the gym in ways that translate into the game. I also appreciate the positive energy and fun vibes during our workouts, which motivate me to keep going. Truly one of the best in the game."

Jacqueline Osei, Scanlan High School Student-Athlete (USA)

“Kirt has been nothing short of fantastic to work with. From helping me achieve my sport goals and personal goals, his attention to detail and how committed he is to helping you achieve your results is second to none. Cannot recommend Kirt enough for people who are looking to achieve any type of health/fitness goals!”

Orla Whyte, Account Manager

“Coach Banj is great because he tailors the workouts to the individual, he listens to your experience and takes into account what you wish to improve on also. He listens and a lot of trainers simply don’t do that. Coach Banj focuses on the details of every exercise and prioritizes functionality and performance over weight lifting.”

Richard Amaefule, Texas Wesleyan University, NAIA (USA)

“The reason I train with Banj is to better myself as a basketball player and to be able to dig deeper into the strength and performance side of basketball that allows longevity in basketball. Banj has done a great job at opening my eyes to the importance in this and allowing me to ultimately raise my level as an athlete through my day to day routine which has translated to my on court performance. I like that that he is specific to “your needs” meaning whatever your focus is he’ll adapt his sessions to cater to what you want whilst guiding you in other areas that need improvement. One thing that stood out was the variety of exercises through different motions which allows each session to be different so u can implement it outside of the gym in your own time. He’ll set out goals with you to reach and plan with you how to get them. The environment is like a family from the first day in the gym as he builds good rapport with clients such as myself as to where you can ask for advice about on and off the court whilst his commitment for early mornings in the gym shows his seriousness to helping everyone reach their goals the standard set in the gym is evident from the jump and is clear that there’s only one purpose - which is to get better.”

Simeon Iwowo, High School Student-Athlete (USA)

“Kirt is a fantastic inspiration. His work ethic is second to none and everyday at the crack of dawn he beat me to the gym and pushed my limits to the next level – both from a physical standpoint as well as learning more about my body. Kirt has a super varied skill set from what I experienced, he is able to adapt to any needs of the client. I would still be training with Kirt hadn’t I moved to the coast.”

Gareth Crosby, Chef & Entrepreneur

“I always enjoy coming back as I know Coach Banj has got me when I'm back home. I appreciate the way he is able to demonstrate exercises to a high level but more so able to explain the purpose and its benefits. He’s great at breaking down the movements in a way that is easy to understand. It's hard finding a place to train let alone finding a coach that looks after you and trains you for what you need. Thank you coach!”

Lewis Bennett, Stanton University MBB (NAIA, USA)

“I've had the pleasure of training with Kirt for over a year now and I can confidently say that it has been a transformative experience. I've become a lot stronger and have put on a significant amount of muscle in areas where I had struggled to before.
I'm someone who can obsess over the detail of certain lifts and movements but Kirt always has the answers to any questions I have. He's helped me not just avoid (and reverse) injuries but also see big improvements in many exercises; getting proper activation of the required muscles groups and fixing my form (such was the case for my terrible pull-ups!)
I'd probably have developed some nasty shoulder and back issues by now if he didn't become my PT. I highly recommend him for people of any fitness background or level; Kirt has deep knowledge in many areas and always makes training a fun activity.”

Andy Bethell, VP of Technical Engineering

“Training with Kirt has been a game-changer for my cricket performance, especially during my recovery from a ruptured quadriceps tendon. His sessions are not just intense but incredibly well-tailored to support my rehabilitation alongside my physiotherapy. The focus on mobility, strength, and conditioning has helped me regain my form quicker than I imagined, and I’m back on the field feeling stronger and more confident. His expertise in injury recovery (and prevention) has been invaluable, and I’m grateful for the personalised care and attention that have truly made a difference in my journey back to Cricket.”

Alex Bone, Software Engineer

“I met Coach Banj during the recent NBTC tournament here in the Philippines wherein Filipino athletes abroad went back home to showcase their talents. I saw how unique his approach was and I wanted to pick his brain and improve as a professional myself.
I learned a lot from his methods and approach and meshed some of his principles with my own. I am excited to work with Coach Banj in the near future and I am most certainly gonna pick his brain the next chance I get.”

Chi Mawis, Head Athletic Trainer of Gilas Pilipinas National Team

“Banj is the best in the business. In terms of detail, creativity and improving your overall needs he ticks all boxes.
I personally am transitioning to professional basketball and Banj has helped prepare me for the next level by increasing my knowledge of what it means to be “strong” in my sport, working on muscles that are often overlooked. Our Journey has just begun and I’m excited to see the growth that’s in store.”

Taiga Takami-Forster, Shiga Lakes (B League 1, Japan)

"As a newly licensed physio, I knew I wanted to be involved in a sports environment, specifically basketball as it is my passion. But then I realized that I do not want to solely focus on rehab, I also want to tackle the strength and conditioning side of the sport.
I connected with Coach Banj through my mentor and physio of the Philippine National Team, "Coach Chi" Mawis. That for sure made me learn a lot in terms of S&C, specifics of exercises depending on the needs of an athlete, amount of exercise given to athletes depending what season they are in, how to handle different people in the industry and how to be a professional.
Equipped with my physiotherapy background and having the learnings & shared knowledge from Coach made me equipped to handle my own team. I am grateful for all the opportunity to learn from Coach Banj."

Joseph Hiso, Zamboanga Valientes Lead Physio & S&C Coach

"The two things that have stuck out the most to me about Banj is his attention to detail and his ability to work around my schedule. I am in my 4th year as a professional basketball player and sometimes our time zones vary (GMT - 7 hrs) but Banj always manages to be flexible and make it work.
I have played at the highest level of college basketball so I have come across some great minds in the strength & conditioning world and Banj is among those. I am excited to keep building the foundation with Banj."

Valandre Chauca, Cal-Berkeley Alumni (NCAA D1, USA) & Professional Player (PBA, MBPL & The Asian Tournament)

“Training with Coach Banj was an amazing experience. During our time together I was able to learn new workouts and different basketball skills. Our sessions together made me feel stronger and more confident. His innovative style will surely help more athletes reach their goals.”

Gerald Anderson, Actor/Pro Basketball Player & Owner of The Th3rd Floor (Philippines)

"Training with Banj my strength and conditioning coach, has taught me that real strength comes from hard work, persistence, and the right support. His knowledge and constant encouragement have pushed me to new heights and changed my fitness journey. I enjoy training with Banj because it’s making me physically stronger and allowing me to compete at a high level."

Emmanuel Ahamefule, GB Youth Athlete & NBA Global Academy (Australia)
