  Client testimonials

  “I have just started two lift sessions and I really find the classes very comprehensive. In addition, Laura the coach is very supportive and makes you feel at ease immediately. Come and join us, you will not regret it for sure!”

  “Seb and Monica's team have been integral to my health journey. Their holistic approach to it just fitness and strength, but also nutrition is fantastic. I can't recommend Balmoral Fitness enough!”

  “The best in the biz! Five years loyal now and love it as much as ever. Seb has also helped me overcome a neck strain, great expertise with avoiding injury.”

  “I was never a gym person — but then I found Balmoral Fitness, and everything changed. Somehow, they made me love working out. Now it's an essential part of my day. The team is super attentive, the workouts are fresh and varied, and the sessions fly by before I even realize it. In under a year, I've gotten stronger and gained muscle.”

  “Absolutely love Moni, Bas and Matt! They've been our instructors at castle cove for years now (Matt more recently - what a fabulous addition!), and we're so grateful for their expertise and humour! We're a slightly 'older' group ('Fab, fit and over 50'!!) and their patience and flexibility with our individual needs is so appreciated.”

  Client testimonials

  “Martin & Jason are both first class trainers – mixing up the routines, keeping gentle pressure on to push a little harder, very competent and friendly. My twice weekly attendance over the last 2 and 1/2 years means I am physically fitter and have 'got older slower' than if I had joined a normal gym.”

  “I have been attending evolve for a number of years – it is a great local personal training studio which tailors the training to suit the needs of the customers. Great trainers who cater to all ages and all degrees of fitness, whilst always taking note each week of our various ailments and/or injuries.”

  “Joining Evolve Fitness has changed my life. I have trained with Martin and Jason for over 3 years and love it. The personal attention and great training in a small gym environment make it great for people who prefer one on one attention.”

  “I love training at Evolve fitness, Jason and team make the sessions so enjoyable I don't even know I'm exercising.”

  “With the help of this team I stayed positive and completed the New York marathon. Always welcoming and fun..(even when it hurts!!)”

  “Started six years ago when I felt I needed to get fit and healthy. Couldn't ask for a better team of personal trainers. Look forward to my session each week. Enjoyable so it doesn't seem like any effort at all.”

  Client testimonials

  “If you're looking for a PT who actually understands the body (not just how to yell 'one more rep!'), look no further. Working with Ehab has been a total game-changer. He has a deep, almost wizard-like knowledge of how muscles work, how long it really takes to fix long-standing imbalances, and exactly what needs to be activated, stretched, or strengthened to get lasting results. For the first time, I feel like my body is being trained with precision rather than guesswork.”

  “As a mum, I wanted more than just fitness — I wanted to feel strong, capable, and set a new standard for myself. Ehab helped me do exactly that. I trained for my first Hyrox competition and then stepped into the world of bodybuilding — where I prepped for my debut shows and walked away as a 3x gold medalist.”

  “I only trained with Ehab a handful of times, but I learned a lot about how to improve my languishing workout routine in that time. He helped improve my stretching and nutrition aspects too, which was all tailored to my goals. He's friendly and easy going and knows how to quickly identify your weak spots that need improvement.”

  Client testimonials

  “Excellent studio led by amazing, inspiring trainers. So much more than a personal training gym, a family atmosphere where everyone works together to achieve their goals. Your trainer takes an active interest in you holistically, and helps you achieve your goals, and the group sessions (boxing, core, stretching, running, etc.) are great sessions where all the members help each other succeed.”

  “After what seemed like months of not losing weight, I was ready to give up. But my trainer and the team at Authentic weren't. That made all the difference. Thanks Authentic PT — sometimes it takes a village!”

  “No matter how you look at it, losing 20kg is hard. But the team at Authentic PT makes hard work fun — and that somehow made losing 20kg even easier.”

  “With Rod's guidance and training, I was able to reduce my body weight and increase my strength which allowed me to maximise my performance and become a World Championship Silver Medallist.”

  “There is no doubt I am stronger, fitter and with vastly improved mobility...the sessions are always varied, and always challenging. There is no place I would rather train!”

  “Having to go through shoulder surgery due to misuse and lack of care, I really value the work I've been doing at FitnessLab. My shoulders feel stronger than ever and now I can even do chin ups, something I thought I would never be able to do again.”
