Strong Man Strength: Rygg Partners with CoCo Gym and Jean Stephen Coraboeuf

Rygg is proud to announce an exciting new partnership with CoCo Gym, the Gold Coast’s home of strongman, and elite strength athlete Jean Stephen Coraboeuf. This collaboration brings together world-class performance science and one of the toughest strength disciplines on the planet, highlighting a shared commitment to power, recovery, and the relentless pursuit of human potential.

CoCo Gym has carved out a reputation as the home of strongman training in Australia. A place where strength is not just tested but forged. At its core is Jean Stephen Coraboeuf, one of the country’s leading strongman competitors, whose career embodies resilience, discipline, and the ability to push past physical and mental limits.

For Rygg, this partnership is more than a sponsorship. It’s an opportunity to stand alongside a sport and community that live by the same values that underpin everything we do: preparation, recovery, and movement with purpose.

Located on the Gold Coast, CoCo Gym has become synonymous with the strongman discipline in Australia. It’s not a conventional gym, it’s a training ground where athletes prepare their bodies for the unique and brutal demands of lifting, pulling, dragging, and carrying at world-class levels.

Strongman is not just about raw power. It’s about mental toughness, precision, and an unbreakable connection between mind and body. At CoCo Gym, athletes train to flip giant tyres, haul massive loads, carry stones, and press awkward, unforgiving weights overhead, all while managing the toll it takes on the body.

CoCo Gym’s culture is one of grit, brotherhood, and discipline. Athletes here don’t train for aesthetics; they train for performance and strength that translates into some of the most demanding competitions in the world. It is this authentic dedication to strength that makes CoCo Gym the perfect partner for Rygg.

At the heart of CoCo Gym’s reputation stands Jean Stephen Coraboeuf, a name respected across the strongman community. Known for his incredible feats of power, Jean Stephen has represented the grit and determination required to excel in one of the toughest strength sports on the planet.

Strongman competition demands more than physical size, it requires cardiovascular fitness, recovery discipline, and mental resilience. Jean Stephen has proven himself time and again, not only as a competitor but as a leader within the sport in Australia.

His presence at CoCo Gym sets the tone for what strongman is about which is showing up every day, pushing through limits, and respecting the body’s need for recovery. For Rygg, working with Jean Stephen represents an alignment with an athlete who truly understands the balance between strength and science.

Strongman is unlike any other sport. It challenges every part of the human body, often pushing athletes to exhaustion while carrying, pulling, or lifting weights that defy belief. Every training session is extreme. Every competition is a battle of endurance, grit, and recovery.

This is where Rygg’s HEATE and KHULE creams make an impact.

HEATE is designed to prepare muscles before lifting, priming the body for heavy output and reducing the risk of strain.

KHULE is crafted to speed up recovery after intense sessions, helping athletes manage inflammation and restore balance to fatigued muscles.

For strongman athletes like Jean Stephen Coraboeuf, recovery isn’t just about feeling better, it’s about being able to train again tomorrow, to keep progressing toward the next competition, and to perform at the level the sport demands.

With Rygg in the mix, CoCo Gym athletes now have access to Informed Sport–certified solutions built specifically for elite performance environments.

Dr. Steve Andrews, founder of Rygg, expressed his pride in this collaboration:

“Strongman athletes push their bodies further than most people can imagine. The demands on their muscles, joints, and recovery are immense. Working with CoCo Gym and Jean Stephen Coraboeuf gives us the chance to support athletes who embody strength in every sense of the word. Our products are built for this level of performance, and we’re proud to stand alongside them.”

Jean Stephen Coraboeuf also shared his excitement:

“At CoCo Gym, recovery is as important as lifting. Without the right preparation and recovery, you can’t compete in strongman at the highest level. Having Rygg as a partner means we now have access to products that are scientifically designed to help us prepare better and recover faster. That makes all the difference when you’re training to be stronger every single day.”

This collaboration is about more than performance products—it’s about celebrating a sport that demands resilience, courage, and relentless discipline. By working with CoCo Gym and Jean Stephen Coraboeuf, Rygg is not only supporting elite strongman athletes but also the community of strength enthusiasts who train with the same dedication.

Strongman may look like a test of brute force, but it’s also a test of preparation. Every successful lift starts with the right activation. Every successful recovery begins with the right care. Rygg’s role is to be part of that unseen process that allows strongmen to do what seems impossible in competition.

This partnership marks just the beginning of Rygg’s involvement in the strongman world. As CoCo Gym continues to grow as the home of strongman in Australia, and as Jean Stephen Coraboeuf continues to inspire athletes through his performances, Rygg will be there to provide the science and support behind their strength.

From training sessions under the Gold Coast sun to international competitions where strongmen battle for glory, Rygg will stand alongside CoCo Gym athletes, helping them move with purpose, recover with intent, and perform at their absolute best.
