Jack Dohler - 6th U19 Australian Road Race Championship
“I have currently been working with Stephen Hall at HPA for just over a year now and have had tremendous success on the road and on the track.
HPA has not just improved my strength on the bike but also my race craft.
Since starting with Stephen just over a year ago, I have achieved all my goals this year including my first A grade win, top 10 at the national road race championships in Ballarat, riding a 3:21 individual pursuit at the state track championships and much, much more. “

Brett Schnitzerling - 1st Masters State WA Criterium 2022
“Steve has been instrumental in helping me develop and achieve my goals not only over the past few years since HPA's inception, but well before during his study in his chosen field of sports science. He is meticulous in the programs that have been developed, both on the bike and in the gym, the latter of which has significantly changed how I ride and the way I can race. He is open to feedback on the programs in which he develops and has always made himself available to discuss race tactics, a bad training day or even to check in and give positive reinforcement. His knowledge when it comes to race simulation and tactics is absolutely second to none, you would be hard pressed to find someone with a better bike racing brain, especially on the track.
Some notable achievements since commencing with HPA include:
2nd Australian Masters National Criterium 2019, 1st Masters State WA Criterium 2022, 1st Launceston Masters Wheelrace 2022 (50m) , 1st Keith Thurgood Wheelrace (scr), 4th Collie-Donnybrook 2021 , 1st place WA Masters State Track Titles (IP, Scratch, Points, Keirin)”

Brodie Cullen - Masters World Track Champion 2022
“If you’re looking for that extra edge or wanting to be in contention for race wins, you can’t go past HPA.
Steve’s always patient, knowledgeable and honest. Through the good weeks and the bad - when you need him most, when your heads falling off.
Thank you Steve for everything! For pushing me to reach a goal I thought I would never achieve!
Follow the program and trust the process!”

Laurens Black - 1st Age Divisions in SEVEN 2024
“I knew something was missing from my training. I had a rough idea of what I wanted to achieve, however I wasn’t sure how to get there. After listening to a few podcasts, it finally clicked—I needed a coach. Not just any coach, but someone who truly understands what it means to be an athlete: the goals, the demands of balancing work and life, and the need for structured yet adaptable training that actually gets results.
That’s exactly what Stevie at HPA delivers.
With a deep knowledge of race tactics and a consistently varied training program, Stevie brings both expertise and innovation to the table. His coaching style is supportive, professional, and calm—creating the perfect environment to focus, train with purpose, and ultimately enjoy the process. The rewards come naturally when you’re in the right hands, and Stevie’s approach makes sure of that. “

Daniel Bucknall - National Masters Track Champ
"I’ve been working with HPA since their beginning in 2020, and I can confidently say it’s made a huge difference in both my cycling performance and my ability to stay consistent with training despite the demands of life, family and full-time job.
Stevie has a deep knowledge and passion for cycling training and physiology. Every session and training block feels purposeful, which gives me a lot of confidence in his theories and processes.
Equally important is flexibility. Stevie really understands the challenges of balancing work, life, and training, and is always willing to adjust the program when needed—without guilt or pressure. Whether it’s shifting a workout because of a long workday or modifying a plan to fit in a weekend event, Stevie is responsive and solutions-focused.
HPA’s support goes beyond training. Stevie, being a very accomplished cyclist himself, knows the tolls training at any level takes. Checking in regularly, celebrating wins, and providing encouragement during tougher periods. I feel like I’m training smarter, not just harder, and I’ve seen noticeable improvements both physically and mentally, which has helped me achieve dozens of State, National, and International track championships”
