Originally from Tasmania, Australia, Clay Murfet brings over 12 years of experience as a professional athlete to Clay Murfet Performance. At 17, he moved to the United States to pursue a professional cycling career under the guidance of a U.S. Olympian coach. His career would go on to take him across the United States, Europe, Canada, and China, competing at a high level and developing a deep understanding of elite performance, recovery, and the demands placed on the athlete’s body.

​

In 2017, Clay became a licensed massage therapist and founded Clay Murfet Performance in 2018 — combining his firsthand experience as a professional athlete with performance-focused treatment, recovery, and coaching.

Over the course of his career, Clay has performed more than 10,000 treatments and worked with athletes ranging from everyday runners and gym-goers to professional and collegiate athletes within the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NCAA systems in the United States. His hands-on experience in elite sport allows him to deliver treatment with a level of understanding that goes beyond standard massage therapy.

​

Today, Clay continues to compete as an endurance athlete and marathon runner, holding a marathon personal best of 2:49 and a Boston Marathon qualification. Remaining actively involved in high-level training allows his approach to stay practical, current, and grounded in real-world athletic performance.

​

Known for his results-driven approach, Clay has built a strong reputation for helping athletes improve recovery, manage training load, reduce injury downtime, and continue performing at a high level. His understanding of movement, performance, and recovery allows him to deliver highly targeted treatment tailored to the individual athlete.

​

Now based in Noosa, Australia, Clay continues to grow CMP as a bridge between elite sport and everyday performance — helping athletes move better, recover faster, and perform at their highest level.
