“I've been seeing Siobhan as my personal trainer for a few months now. I'm a mum of two, recovering from childbirth and pregnancy. I tried many other options such as physiotherapy, acupuncture, and massage, but the sessions with Siobhan have been an essential part of my recovery. We've been working on posture, strength, and stability post-birth, while also helping me regain my pre-pregnancy body and lose weight. The exercises are tailored to my needs, and Siobhan is a fantastic motivator. I would highly recommend her as a personal trainer.”

— Lucy

“I've been training with Siobhan for the past five months and am incredibly impressed and happy with the results so far. It makes such a difference to have guidance in every session on form, plus follow-up support with nutrition—always making sure the program is working for me. I feel stronger, happier, and healthier, and I'm at a weight I haven't been in for many years. Siobhan makes each session doable and fun and is always careful to ensure every exercise is the right fit for you. I highly recommend training with Siobhan.”

— Carolina

“Engaging Ash as my trainer has proven to be the best health and fitness decision I have ever made. In a short amount of time I've lost a considerable amount of weight, gained enormous tone and am bikini ready! Most importantly, I feel very healthy and strong. The pain from three old injuries has disappeared and now I look forward to training as Ash has made it fun. I would 100% recommend working with Ash if you want to look and feel amazing.”

— Liane Norman

“I have been having personal training sessions with Ash for the last few months and cannot rave about him enough. Being a mum of 2 young kids who hadn't done weight training before, I was initially very intimidated to go to the gym. After seeing Ash I now feel confident and have seen huge improvement in my technique and strength. After a few months following his program, I have already lost a significant amount of body fat and have toned and increased muscle mass. Ash is personable and friendly and very motivating. I highly recommend Ash as a personal trainer.”

— Della Shandler

“Since joining the JM Team and training with Jes I couldn't be more happier. I love her energy, dedication and amazing knowledge. She not only has transformed my body but also my confidence. Being confident is nothing more than believing in yourself and a feeling of accomplishment. Trusting in Jes to get me out of my comfort zone created that confidence I needed. I not only found an amazing trainer but a long life friend.”

— Jojo

“I started working with Jes with the goal to help me get on stage in body building competitions. I decided on JM Fitness & Jes as my coach as she is very well rounded in the environment, in regards to helping me with training, diet and posing. Jes has so much experience in the bodybuilding world, it was an easy decision. Covid19 has slowed our process but not my progress, she has helped motivate me in such a strong way that during lockdowns I have still made a huge change in my physical appearance and composition.”

— Celene

“There are so many PT's around these days but Greg truly stood out - he is experienced and his approach was completely unique. I am forever grateful for the results I have achieved thanks to working with him!”

— Ruth

“I honestly believe Greg is one of the best personal trainers out there... Truly, Greg is amazing and I've tried a lot of other trainers who don't come close to him. Honestly, try a session with Greg and you'll notice the difference from the get go. I highly recommend Greg Kafalian. I can't praise him enough”

— Nikalos Preston

“As a mum of young kids with a busy schedule, who works and likes to stay fit, I was struggling to eat well enough to meet the demands of daily life. I wasn't sleeping well, often had a headache and felt depleted. Her practical approach has given me the tools I need to make good choices. She built my knowledge rather than giving me meal plans so my new eating habits are sustainable. I now have the energy I need to conquer daily 'Mum Life', am sleeping much better and no longer have headaches.”

— Libby S - Bondi Junction

“Romy exceeded my expectations! I knew a lot about exercise and nutrition but was surprised by how much I learnt from Romy's coaching. Through the program I achieved all my fitness and nutrition goals but also surpassed them, while maintaining a balanced and nourishing lifestyle that allowed me to still put my baby first. I managed to increase my milk supply in no time through the right nourishment. The real gift that came out of the program is the mindset I've been able to cultivate towards eating and exercise that I know I can sustain into the future. This has been an absolute game changer. I feel strong, positive, nourished and grateful for my body and what it's capable of. Romy did this for me.”

— Leah B - Waverley

“Chris has been the best trainer I've ever had for hitting my targets. His holistic approach focuses on movement quality before adding load, nutrition that works for your lifestyle, and exercises you actually enjoy. He prioritises mastering fundamentals over chasing numbers for show — and it works. Chris is always available, proactive with advice, and keeps you accountable to your goals. If you're serious about your health — not just how you look — I highly recommend him.”

— Edward Mills

“I've trained regularly with Chris for many years — he's an essential part of my routine for staying healthy, strong, and sane. He takes great care to tailor training to each client's unique needs, and his expertise recently helped me recover fully from knee surgery. I recommend Chris unequivocally and wholeheartedly.”

— David Chin

“Danny came to Ruben V Academy just over half a decade ago! Tired, unhealthy, sick of all the diets and work outs not bringing him any results, and he was about to turn 50! I was his last hope to get those dream abs he had always wanted and the goal was before his 50th birthday - his words, not mine! Danny completed the 12 week transformation with amazing results and went on to compete professionally, and thoroughly enjoyed his transformation experience and process. We are still training together...6 YEARS ON!”

— Danny (implied client)

“Marek has a fantastic personality, he's patient and very professional. To him, it's always about the dog and owner having fun and building an amazing relationship with each other.”

“I started training with Lou 9 months out from my wedding in 2020, focusing on toning and strengthening. Covid had other plans that year and whilst our original wedding was cancelled, Lou inspired me to keep training outside and online to achieve my goals. I highly recommend Lou - a brilliant trainer who keeps you motivated, smiling and seeing results.”

— Chloe Potter

“Lou is a great coach and has helped me achieve my goals during and after lockdown. I love our sessions and her training so much that when the gyms reopened I continued training with her. Highly recommend!”

— JO M

“GRIFFIT has literally transformed my fitness. With their expertise, support and encouragement, I have become stronger and fitter than I have ever been in my life. With their coaching, I even ran a half-marathon - an achievement I had previously never thought possible.”

— KD

“For the first time in my mid 60s I started a regular program with Timo. His strength training is about building muscle mass, enhancing cardio vascular health and as we age, reducing the risk of injury and falls. I am already noticing that his well rounded and personally targeted fitness program is having a positive impact. Timo knows what he is doing and he is excellent at focusing on individual needs. It's an added joy to have each session outside at Rushcutters Bay. Thoroughly recommend!”

— Stephen Brady

“A fantastic trainer with incredible knowledge! I started working with Timo because I wanted to build muscle mass, drop a few kilograms, and improve my overall fitness. As a woman in my mid-40s, I'm conscious of the importance of building muscle and bone density. I've been working with Timo for four months, and the results have been fantastic. I've dropped a dress size, feel significantly stronger and fitter, and I absolutely love the location of our sessions. What really sets Timo apart from other trainers is his extensive experience and holistic approach. His deep knowledge of wellbeing, psychology, and fitness shines through in every session.”

— Sarah Philippart

“Highly recommend Phil Harding! If you want results and you are prepared to put in the hard yards Phil Harding is your man!!! Learnt and changed so much since training with Phil!”

— Jesse Hillard

“Phil helped me reach a goal in 3 months that I didn't believe I could ever achieve. I've been training at the gym my whole life but could never nail the diet component and felt like I was hitting my head against a brick wall. Phil holds you accountable and gets you where you want to be. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and would recommend him to anyone who wants serious results.”

— Madeline Broadway

“I am in the BEST shape of my life! Neil truly is a leader in his field, an incredible coach & fantastic educator. He empowered me to make permanent lifestyle changes which have seen me not only achieve my fitness goals but improve my overall wellbeing! Neil offers a professional and personalised service, focusing on his client's individual needs & encourages you to be the best version of yourself.”

— Jessica P.

“I've worked with trainers across the globe: US, UK, Europe, Asia and Down Under. Rarely have I met anyone of Neil's caliber. He got his head around my needs and goals swiftly, put a plan in place for my week-long visit to Sydney, and our workouts felt as though he's been training me for years. Smart, intuitive, motivating, and one of the loveliest men you'll ever meet.”

— Stephen S.

“A few months ago, I had never lifted a weight in my life - so needless to say, I was nervous and intimidated at the thought of joining a gym. Luckily, I found a place that meets you exactly where you are: EdgeFit. I've been training with Jake ever since, and he's been absolutely brilliant. Every session is motivating, challenging, and full of small wins that have added up to some seriously real results. Jake truly knows his stuff (He knows every muscle in the human body and will quiz you on them mid workout) but what makes him stand out is the extra mile he always goes with his check ins on diet and always asking if you need further guidance or help. He celebrates every milestone with me and pushes me just enough without making me cry in a corner. If you've ever doubted your ability to get fit or feel strong, or if you're just looking for a gym that genuinely cares about you and your progress, I can't recommend EdgeFit enough.”

— Simon Pagnucco

“Joining Edge Fit has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. From day one, I was welcomed like family. Conor, the owner, is genuinely one of the most kind, encouraging and uplifting people you'll meet - he has created an environment where every member feels valued, supported and at home. My PT, Matt, is absolutely incredible. He pushes me to get the best out of every session while showing genuine care and compassion, always checking in to make sure I'm comfortable and safe, especially with old injuries. His attention to detail and encouragement make training something I actually look forward to. I've trained at many gyms before, but nothing compares to the warmth, professionalism and sense of community at Edge Fit.”

— Jessica McLennan

“This guy is SO good! I went to him, to get skilled in boxing and build confidence and I walked away with that and SO much more! His experience tells its own story and he is extremely motivating. If I could rate him a 11/10, I would! Thanks for everything Danilo!”

— Evan Madonis

“I call Danilo my unfair advantage! His approach to training prepared me for my fight and no doubt a huge reason I got my win. Danilo spent time to understand my style and how to be a boxer. If you're looking for a coach, Danilo is highly recommend. Thank you Danilo!”

— Aaron Christie David

“Greta's personalised training program has helped me achieve great results and I feel fitter and stronger than I have in years. She really cares and values her clients, providing ongoing guidance and support which keeps you motivated. I am so happy to be working with Greta and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a personal trainer.”

— Kerryn

“Greta transformed my body. Every muscle was tested and challenged. I have never looked and felt so amazing. She taught me to be disciplined and never to give up.”

— Cindy

“Nick and the team have helped me immensely to get back on track to build up my strength and confidence. The outdoor squad is exactly what I needed and I would recommend this fantastic community to anyone. After 5 weeks I couldn't imagine my week without it. It's the best.”

“First off I do not write reviews but in this instance I have made an exception as Natalie has been very impressive and should be recognised for it. I have been going to the gym for sometime however wanted to improve my technique and lift more. I can tell from the first time I spoke with Nat that she was very knowledgable, but the thing that most stood out to me about her was her passion. She has been extremely patient, understanding, encouraging and has taken the time to tailor make a program that has helped me achieve my goals.”

— Sean

“I've been training with Natalie for about 3 months and think she is one of the most committed trainers around. She is very supportive and is great at motivating you to achieve your goals. She offers a tailored approach to her programs and continues to alter it as you go. Definitely recommend!”

— Lauren

“I highly recommend Longevity PT for all my patients and have done so for years.”

— Dr. Kuzinkovas (MBBS MD MRCSEd FRCSEd FRACS) - Sydney's Leading Bariatric Surgeon

“After years of recurring hip issues, I finally addressed the root cause with Kelsey at Movement 101. In just two months, I have little to no pain and I'm back to doing the activities I'd been avoiding. Kelsey is easy to talk to, never pushy, and helped create a clear plan to stay strong and active. Highly recommend.”

— Nicole R.

“I've been seeing Conor Murphy for an issue with my knees and I find his level of treatment to be outstanding. Conor asked a lot of questions about me and my lifestyle to fully understand where we need to get back to. He built a great exercise plan to help rebuild and found ways to adjust anything that wasn't working well. Conor also look after my head space while I recover, always checking in to see where I'm at - this is a stand out for me, I've not experienced that from a physio before and it's a hugely important piece. I've recommended Conor to multiple friends and they all have positive feedback.”

— Julie W.

“Ash has been my PT for years and started me on my fitness journey. She is understanding of my medical issues, listens to what I want *and* need and is always encouraging me to do my best! Ash made exercise and training exciting and interesting for me. You don't just go for the session, you go for the sunshine of a human that is Ash.”

— Holly

“Ash was my PT during what was a tough time in lockdowns. Ash was instrumental in keeping me physically fit but also mentally fit. She is very adaptable and will ensure your workout gets the best out of you. We had some awesome sessions which were fun but also challenging. Since this, we have become friends also which says a lot in my opinion.”

— Corrina

“I have been training with Yves and Team One Fitness since about 2014 and it is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I was never a fit person or a sporty person or particularly confident but Yves has changed all that! He discovered a sporty and competitive person I never even knew existed! Yves is one of the most genuine, passionate, committed, enthusiastic, experienced and energetic trainers around and he makes the classes interesting, fun and most of all challenging!”

— Claire Murphy

“Having tried numerous gyms and fitness groups over the years, Team One has been the only one that has consistently kept me fit, strong and motivated. I have been training now with Yves for over 9 years and always look forward to his sessions. Yves energy, knowledge and enthusiasm rubs off on the entire class, making training enjoyable yet challenging. No class is ever the same and he is particularly good at recognising the variety of fitness levels and goals.”

— Kelly Patterson

“Tammy is a talented trainer with very in depth knowledge and excellent attention to detail.

— Stefan Beekman

“What's not to love about training outdoors. Glorious sun rises, fresh air, waves, whales. Add to that the variety of weights, bodyweight, cardio and yoga to keep you interested and I reckon you've got the perfect combo. It's more than training, it's a way of life! And to top it off I lost 28kg! - member since 2012”

— Kate Thompson

“3 Months ago I told Tomas I wanted to get back in to shape for my wedding, and get back to where I was when I met my fiancée. I followed every word and recommendation including the nutritional habits that Tom instructed me - I trained with him twice per week for 12 weeks – I have lost 12 KGS in 12 weeks, I've gained lean muscle and stripped the fat. Tomas was clear, precise and above all – he knows exactly what he is doing. I feel sensational – and I couldn't have done it without Tom.”

— Brad Hannaford

“I've been training with Tomas for a number of years and he's always provided a very knowledgeable and reliable service, in fact I've never known him to be late for a session once in all that time! Tomas is passionate about health and well-being without being 'gung ho' about it. He sessions are well balanced in terms of variety of content and he approaches delivering these in a relaxed and positive way.”

— Paul Roddis

— Sue & Jim, Sydney

“I have been training with Peek Fitness for 9 months now and I couldn't have faced entering a gym for the first time without their help. So far I've lost 21kg and feel stronger than ever before. My trainer Tim's role is integral to a novice such as myself. His direction and advice has allowed me to feel more comfortable with using the machines and free weights knowing I am doing it safely. Tim pushes me to accomplish my goals in a supportive way and his training plus the group classes held by Rob have allowed me to make great strides in both weight loss and strengthening.”

— Deb, 30 years old

“I believe the most important aspect of the training is clicking with and trusting the personal trainer! During my time at Peek Fitness I was lucky enough to work with three trainers at different stages of my journey and all have excelled in providing me with my very own tailored program. The program suit my goals but also my personality. Each PT adjusted the training to suit my attitude, my strengths & weaknesses & my temperament. Training is not a chore for me; the trainers at Peek have turned it into a weekly affirmation to myself at how far I've come.”

— Francesca, 44 years old

— Ash

“Dirk and his team are THE BEST in the business. Trust me I've tried a few. Not only do they look at your health holistically, but they also correct your technique to prevent injuries and gently push you with humor and encouragement to help you do more than you thought possible and most importantly get results. I originally trained with Dirk 22 years ago and then moved during that time I tried XXX and XXX which I enjoyed but they don't have the same education, experience, and dedication. I've been back with Dirk for the last 5 years and won't be going anywhere else.”
