About The LAB

The LAB began with a vision from Gab Saldavia, who founded LAB46 to create a space where athletes could train, compete, and grow through the game of basketball.

What started as a dedicated basketball training environment quickly grew into a thriving community. As the facility expanded, Marko Miskovic came on board, helping develop the programs, competitions, and culture that have made The LAB what it is today — a place known for its energy, high standards, and strong sense of community.

In 2026, The LAB entered its next chapter with the evolution into The LAB Performance Centre. Building on the incredible foundations established by Gab and Marko, Josh O'Gorman and Jack Delchau joined the leadership team as directors, bringing their expertise in strength and conditioning to expand the facility into a complete training environment.

Today, The LAB Performance Centre brings together basketball, strength and conditioning, and performance training under one roof — creating a space where athletes and everyday people alike can train at their best.

The culture that started it all remains at the heart of everything we do.

OUR PROCESS

  • Science-Based Training

    All our programs are grounded in the latest sports science, biomechanics, and evidence-based strength & conditioning principles. Every exercise, drill, and session is designed to help athletes move better, train smarter, and improve performance safely.

  • Athlete-Focused Development

    We develop athletes holistically—strength, speed, agility, conditioning, and sport-specific skills—all tailored to individual goals. Whether you’re training for basketball, netball, footy, swimming, or just general athleticism, our programs help you reach your optimal potential.

  • Inclusive for All Levels

    From beginners to elite competitors, youth to adults, we welcome athletes of all levels. Our coaches adjust programs to suit each individual, ensuring everyone progresses safely and effectively while feeling part of The LAB community.

  • Expert Coaching & Community Culture

    Our team of expert coaches don’t just train athletes—they mentor, motivate, and empower. We create a supportive environment where athletes challenge themselves, compete in a healthy way, and build connections with like-minded peers.

WHAT SETS US APART

Many facilities have a court. Some have a gym.

What makes The LAB different is how everything works together.

Basketball skill development, strength and conditioning, and performance training all exist within the same environment — guided by coaches who understand how to develop athletes, not just run sessions.

Athletes train, lift, compete and improve in the same space, surrounded by others chasing the same standard.

It’s not just a place to work out.
It’s a place built for long-term athletic development.
