What I love the most about the NHFA is the after service they provide their graduates by constantly reaching out with job opportunities from fitness clubs. I am so excited to see what my future holds as a PT, so far it has been truly amazing. Thank you NHFA.

Clare Bray

NHFA has been more than I could have asked for. They provide a safe learning environment for all students to excel in. They have the top of the top teachers and such beautiful, kind-hearted admin ladies. They will make you feel special and like you're #1. The course doesn't just focus on fitness but also on health & wellbeing, nutrition, mindset, business, marketing and so much more. They helped me realise my talent and give me the tools to succeed!

Jake Manning is a certified personal trainer since 2012 specialising in sustainable fat loss and muscle gain. Based in Newcastle, he offers both in-person coaching at World Gym Lambton and online coaching with a no-BS approach focused on accountability and personalised programs tailored to each client's preferences and lifestyle.

My experience has been phenomenal. Jake is by far the best personal trainer I've ever had. I look forward to our sessions each week, and have recommended him to so many friends and family. Jake's approach gets results, and you feel like you're always on track to achieving your goals. Perhaps more importantly, Jake helps you feel motivated and enthusiastic about training, so that it doesn't feel like a chore. He also helps to build up your knowledge so that you feel completely confident training on your own. My partner and I have benefitted so much from Jake's sessions that even after we moved out of the local area, we still travel to each week just for our PT sessions. If you're thinking of booking a session with Jake, just do it - you won't regret it!

I've been training with Jake for years. I look forward to every training session and have achieved great gains... my girlfriend got inspired by my progress and started training with Jake too

It's been 5 months of encouragement, goal setting and milestones! TMC has a unique perspective on exercise. I'm now more flexible and mobile than I've ever been. I've lost weight, gained muscle!

About this Gym

Valkyrie Gym is an inclusive strength training gym in Mayfield offering small group classes (10 people or less) with intelligent programming, authentic coaching, and genuine community—without the toxic gym culture.

What Clients Say

I LOVE lifting heavy (for me) things. I've tried lots of different things before, but i've never entered a gym because I thought they weren't for me. But now, I actually look forward to coming to the gym! It's been a wholistic, emotional journey. My doctors are impressed with improvements to my chronic health conditions. The swelling from my lymphedema has gone down and my bone density markers are looking positive. The trainers are genuinely invested in my growth and that is very much felt.

About this Gym

Hunter Fitness is a CrossFit gym in Newcastle focused on helping people improve their lives through fitness. They offer effective program design, workshops, and individualised coaching in a safe, fun, motivating environment.

What Clients Say

I train at Crossfit Hunter from time to time to supplement my training and give my body a shake up! I compete in powerlifting and I use CrossFit as a way to change up my training, challenge my body and cut weight by getting more intense exercise in to the week. I love the early classes as I can get it done and dusted before work and Saturday classes are an awesome way to start the weekend. As I favour the early bird sessions Dani is my main coach. She is such a fun coach and is always happy in the early hours. The crew are great to train with, everyone encourages each other, there's a good energy in the room.

Natalie Bartolo

This place is more than a great workout, it's an all inclusive, super supportive, friendly community who place health and happiness at the heart of it. Top notch coaching performed by professional and friendly people. Bonus points go out for the high cleaning standards, it definitely feels safe entering. My 2020 best find has been this place without a doubt.
