Fitter Forever Personal Training - North Curl Curl (NSW)

Lisa Tran Before joining TSF, I trained on and off at commercial gyms, mostly following programs I made up myself. I was constantly changing things around, which meant I never really stuck to one plan or saw consistent progress. Walking into TSF for the first time was definitely intimidating. Everyone looked so strong and experienced, and I wasn’t sure if I’d fit in or be able to keep up. I started Barbell Club in June 2024, and that’s really where everything changed. Over the eight weeks, I learned how to lift with proper form, how different variations target different muscle groups, and how exercises can be adapted for different body types. One of the biggest lessons was realising that strength isn’t just about muscle size or appearances — it’s about technique, consistency, and progression. Since then, training at TSF has had a huge impact on my confidence. First, confidence in my body’s ability to keep pushing and achieving new goals. And second, confidence in knowing that consistent hard work, dedication, and effort really do pay off — something that has carried over into my work, social life, and family life. The coaches are fantastic. They’re genuinely invested in my success, always taking the time to help me improve, and their excitement and energy are contagious. The sense of community at TSF is something really special. I quickly noticed that no matter how experienced you are or how much weight you’re lifting, if someone’s going for a PB or celebrating a win, the whole gym gets behind them with encouragement and support. Another unexpected benefit was being convinced (thanks Minh Duong and Pam Alcantara!) to join the Tuesday run nights. I never planned to run more than a 5km fun run, but with their encouragement I now run 5km every week and have even completed my first 10km. The environment also makes it easy to connect with people from all walks of life — friendships I wouldn’t normally have had the chance to build. TSF has become so much more than just a gym for me. It’s a place where I’ve grown stronger, built confidence, found community, and been pushed beyond what I thought I was capable of.

Jonathan Light An excellent gym. All of the equipment is new. It is very clean. It has a friendly atmosphere (customers and staff). It is independently owned (not a big chain), and the owner (Angie) is often there - she knows her customers (like me!) by name. The personal trainers are also excellent.

Elissa Callahan Visited for treatment of ongoing issues as a result of dancing and running. My practitioner was Clare Nash who I found to be very friendly and professional. Clare was very thorough in her diagnosis and assisted me with a treatment plan that has kept me in both activities. I have since recommended Clare to a number of friends who are also very happy with their treatment.
