Anything IS Possible

I believe the starting point in running is to make it feel enjoyable, make it feel like something you can do for yourself, that energises you, inspires you and makes you feel alive.

When you do that, you feel like you can do anything and running faster happens naturally.

Run With Steve

Run With Steve is a running community in Perth here to help you wherever you are on your running journey.

0-5k in 6 Weeks is my group for beginners where enjoyment of running is the main focus and you become able to run 5km comfortably as a result of that journey.

Run Better is my group for those who are keen to improve their running, develop their skills, run quicker or for longer, feel more confident and be part of a supportive group.

1-1 Running Coaching

My coaching is for runners who want more than just a training plan.

You’ve got a big race in mind and need help to get there without getting injured.

My coaching is designed around each runner I work with. I believe in coaching the individual, not the goal so we start with where you’re at right now, develop your skills, your lifestyle as well as your fitness so that you can perform at your best and tell the story you want to tell everyone of what you did and how you did it.

Steve with a look of sheer joy as he crosses the finish line of the Loch Leven Half Marathon

Meet Steve Bonthrone

I became a Personal Trainer because I wanted to help people do amazing things for themselves and feel the same sense of accomplishment I felt when I crossed the finish line of my first marathon.

I want running to feel enjoyable, feel a bit like playing did when we were kids, feel like its something you can do for yourself, free yourself from being a slave to your watch, and feel like running a certain distance in a certain time is a byproduct of the adventure you’re on to become a better version of yourself.

Back pain inspired me to run a marathon, crossing the finish line of the marathon inspired me to change career and now that I’m 55, I want to become one of those people who do amazing things at an older age and want to help you do that too.

My Story

What my clients say

“Steve is something of a magician! Following a total knee replacement, I still had a pronounced limp and poor posture along with lower back discomfort and restricted hip and back mobility. Within a couple of sessions my gait had significantly improved, no observable limp, lost my stoop and was soon walking upright with much improved ease. I liked his approach of using the brain body connection and through the lens of joint mobility rather than muscle movement. This had an immediate impact on me. I can’t recommend Steve highly enough!"

Dave Stewart
"I started at Steve’s run club as I lost my mojo a bit, hit a plateau and needed a bit of encouragement/technical support. Steve is very personable, always has a smile and some friendly advice, whether it’s on what to eat, whether to push harder, slower or more often. He is incredibly knowledgeable and is happy to chat and help with anything including what to wear! The run better group are a friendly bunch of mixed ability and I love it! I am not the most sociable of people but I can honestly say I thoroughly enjoyed going, they tick many boxes for me and they accept me and my ability (or lack thereof) unquestionably. I would 100% recommend"

The Journey Begins

7 August 2026

I've started a new training block for some races coming up over the next few months but this is more than just about getting fitter to run a few races.

This is about doing something for me, putting myself first, doing something that excites me, something that I love that'll help me become the best I can be.

When I become the best I can be, I will achieve my goals as a result of that journey.

When I become the best I can be, I will be in a better position to help the people I work with become the best they can be and help them do the things that excite them and inspire them :-)
