Personal Trainers Near South Brisbane

“I've been working with kelly for about 2.5 years. She's the most responsive coach I've ever had, both in terms of her communication and her programming. Feedback is frequent and consistent, and tailored to my needs. Her programming is adaptive. I'm constantly amazed at how she can see tiny details when reviewing videos of my lifts, and she's helped me overcome plateaus and hit PRs on all lifts.”

— Marisa Sklar

“Kelly has been my powerlifting coach since 2021 and has played a huge role in my journey — from local competitions all the way to representing Australia on the international stage. Her expertise, support, and attention to detail have been second to none. What sets Kelly apart is the team she's built around her. Working alongside a team of skilled exercise physiologists, it's a complete service that covers training, rehab, and performance — all under one roof.”

— Tom Chaplin

“I started training with Aaron as my PT instructor back in early March. The results have been amazing. Muscle gain, weight loss but fitness level increased dramatically. Aaron is dedicated, extremely experienced in PT and body mechanics and knowledgeable about routines designed individual's body types and fitness levels. He tailors each session strategically so my goals are met safely but rapidly. He's personable, funny (but supports the wrong football team) and a pleasure to train with. Same goes for the entire team at Activate. Pat and his are a solid team whose goal is to get us to achieve our goals. Rate them highly!!”

— Rob Hatter

“I have been attending Activate gym for several years and I highly recommend it to people of any age and any fitness level. The wide variety of equipment is well maintained and the space is spotlessly clean. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming. They certainly know the meaning of a PERSONAL Trainer with each session tailored to the individuals needs and abilities and are very supportive in each person working towards their goals. For me, my weekly sessions with Pat increase my fitness and strength and I love the social interaction the gym provides. Whether you're looking for a gym or not sure if you want to start, I encourage you to definitely give this place a go!”

“I've been a member for 14 years, and Phoenix continues to impress. It's low-key, often have it to yourself, and the best crew of expert, highly trained, friendly staff. All the gear you need - no aircon which I love! It says so much with many long-term members who value the welcoming, no-nonsense vibe. Plus, it's fortnightly rate is great value. If you're looking for a solid gym, this is the place!”

“I was referred to Royce during my recuperation from shoulder surgery. He has taught me a whole new way of working out in the gym, with an emphasis on functional fitness and away from my reliance on machines”

— Jonathan

“In 10 years at Health For Life, they have rehabilitated my badly broken shoulder and helped me recover from a serious operation. I have been pushed but never beyond my capabilities and never to the point of injury”

“I joined UBX Ashgrove just over a year ago after much procrastination. I felt I was too unfit, too fat, too injured and would feel intimidated by all the super fit boxers there. I was totally wrong as I was made to feel welcome as soon as I walked in the door not only by the lovely staff but also by the other members. The gym has a real warm community feel and I have never once felt self conscious or uncomfortable. The trainers are fantastic, they keep an eye on you, correcting you if you're not doing something right and pushing you harder if they think you need it and if I wasn't physically able to do some of the exercises they would always give me something else to do to work round it. As someone who doesn't love exercise generally, I have found something I actually enjoy. The 45 minutes fly by and I'm now much fitter and stronger than I was a year ago.”

— Hilary Wilde

“I love the fitness community that Kyra & the team have created at UBX Ashgrove. We come in all shapes, sizes & ages but everyone is encouraged to work at their own level of fitness & reach their goals. The flexibility is perfect to fit around a busy schedule & the general vibe in the club is first class. Most sustained level of fitness I have ever managed to achieved & loving it!”

— Debbie McNamara

“I have been a member of Quany's since it opened, and it's the happiest I have ever been with a Gym membership. Membership is affordable, staff are friendly and always happy to help. The Gym has an old school appearance and feel to it. I recommend Quany's to anyone who is looking for a good no-nonsense Gym.”

— Scotty Hughes

“Good range of equipment to suit everyone. And they listen to members' requests. These guys can help anyone improve their fitness and strength – no matter your age, size, gender, natural fitness ability, crankiness level or (un)coordination level. They rock. Personal service when you need it, leave you alone when you don't. No BS, no hard sell. Keep up the good work guys.”

— Megan Duane

— Tash, Night Shift Nurse

“When I started with New Start Personal Training, everything was taken care of. Every week I had 3 sessions with a personal trainer locked in that suited me and my busy schedule. In the first 2-3 months, I had already seen results. I was healthier (dropped 10 kg), I was happier, and 3 years later, I still can't recommend the New Start team enough!”

— Nathan

“I had lost my mojo and everything was hard. I also had some injuries that were holding me back – a dodgy ankle, and overall stiffness. New Start PT have been remarkable! With such gentle encouragement, they brought out the best in me, and before I knew it I was soaring, and with no injuries.”

“This is the first time I've genuinely enjoyed exercising. I'd tried several large franchise gyms before but always lost motivation. At FITA-U, sessions are engaging and fun, I look forward to training. Coaches are attentive, supportive and ensure correct form. Group environment creates positive, motivating atmosphere. Highly recommend to anyone struggling with consistency.”

— Roberto Riella

“I have been training at FITA U for 4 months now and am really impressed with quality of coaching, small group sizes and personal attention. Positive and inclusive environment with excellent trainers guiding you. Classes change every few weeks so it doesn't get dull.

“My daughter came to acceleration wanting to improve her speed and strength. Her improvements have been amazing. Her coaches are fantastic and she loves going twice a week she is a netballer and I would recommend this to anyone wanting to improve their speed, strength and agility.”

— Jason Green

“The improvements in [my son's] running style were obvious from the first session, and with each week that passed we could see how much the training was helping his build strength, improve his speed and learn how to get the most out of his body. In the first few sessions back at athletics post-Christmas he has smashed multiple PBs, including sprints, high jump and throws. I can't wait to see the impact it has once league starts back up! I would 1000% recommend Acceleration. It's such a positive, supportive and empowering environment, and the training is so impactful.”
