Matthew Zakhary Joining JPS was a big step for me, and from day one, Jacob has gone above and beyond as a coach. From the moment I started, he made the process feel seamless—always on time with check-ins, incredibly responsive during the week, and genuinely invested in my progress. Jacob doesn’t just coach—he challenges, motivates, and supports me every step of the way. He knows exactly when to push harder and when to encourage, and that balance has made all the difference in my journey. Walking into JPS for the first time, I was a little nervous, but those feelings quickly disappeared. The environment is welcoming, the people are down-to-earth, and the sense of community is real. It’s a place that feels more like a family than a gym. The quality of coaching at JPS is top-tier. With Jacob’s guidance, I’ve grown not only physically but also mentally. I’ve learned so much about myself—what I’m capable of, how to stay consistent, and how to keep pushing forward. Truly grateful to have Jacob in my corner. Couldn’t recommend him or the JPS team highly enough.

Nick Bergin I was recommended to Complete physio after an Achilles rupture and surgery as one of the leaders in Achilles tendon injuries. David was a great positive support through a difficult period. I found his advice clear, evidence based and thorough and allowed the flexibility to adapt the recovery training over time to keep it interesting. He was also able to tailor the program working with the equipment I had at home which was important and practical. Great facilities and easy app support to assist in the recovery process. No question was ever dismissed and regular testing made progress visible which was motivating over a 12 month period. Highly recommend and appreciate your work David!

Phillip Pluck Rob has trained me for many, many years. He tailors my training to the specific needs of the sports that I participate in. He also manages to makes the sessions fun and challenging. Rob regularly attends seminars to stay abreast of the latest training and health techniques. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a friendly and very capable trainer.

Samantha Trix Mangali First time trying boxing here in Melbourne and it was SO good! I’m feeling great after the session. The owners, Tonia and Nick, who is also the head trainer — all super kind and welcoming. Such a good vibe and a fun workout! Highly recommend!! :)
