— 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

“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

“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.”

“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

“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

“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)

“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!”

“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

“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

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.”

— Evan Madonis

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

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.”

And to top it off I lost 28kg! - member since 2012”

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.”

“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!

“Ash. YouTube video testimonial (content not transcribed)”

— 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.”
