Alexa Petrucelli Kylie became my boxing teacher mid to late last year and I have loved every bit of it! Kylie made me feel extremely comfortable from the first session, and made me feel at home straight away. Although I had never boxed before, Kylie has made my confidence build up so quickly. Not only is she a fantastic trainer, but she brings a huge amount of knowledge and guidance to overall health and is amazing to speak to. From being in a position where I rarely trained, and didn’t do much exercise, I now look forward to my weekly class with Kylie with lots of excitement!

Ruby Bainbridge I have been training at Bobby Dunnes with Dave for nearly 3 years. I started off as a beginner, and Dave took me under his wing and has shown me the ropes of Boxing. Dave has fantastic knowledge and coaching skills. The sessions are always challenging and educational, with plenty of fun. The environment in the gym is great, there is a real sense of community amongst members and trainers. I always look forward to my weekly catch ups with Dave and other members!

Joey Lai CorePlus was my first ever experience for pilates. I was already working out at the gym at the time but I wanted to elevate my routine. But even then, pilates felt a bit intimidating for me as I went alone. But after going here and attending classes with almost every instructor, I could not feel more different. I love the team and how they are different. They allow me to challenge myself or to cut back depending on how I am feeling that day. I never feel judged or unsure of what to do. They are quick to notice but quiet and comfortable correct you. Also a lot of the instructors have a great playlist, often to match the pace. Definitely a bonus. I would highly recommend attending here if you are looking around.

Iva Izman Working out in the Hot Room is the BEST thing I have found for my mental health. My schedule revolves around my classes, not the other way round, thats how much the hot room means to me. The vibe at Preston is so welcoming. I have been to a few hot studios around but you guys are always super smiley, friendly and respectful. The heat forces you to switch off mentally on everything else and just focus on yourself because its all in the mind when youre in the hot room. You feel empowered in your own workout because the sweat, mentally, makes you work that extra hard! Halfway through class, you might feel like you regret life LOL but its the after feeling that will find you back for more. It is so so sooo addictive, I feel like a butterfly after every session and its definitely my happy place! Thank you Loiuse and the team!

Wyinta Mawson I attended a Dyke event hosted by Pony Club and I was so impressed by the welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. Even though I’m not a gym member (yet!), I immediately felt comfortable and supported from the moment I arrived. It was clear that Pony Club truly values the LGBTIQ+ community — the event was thoughtfully organized, full of positive energy, and created a real sense of connection among everyone there. The owner is clearly passionate about building a safe and uplifting space for all.

eRiN eNDeR Im in awe with the humans involved in motivating our daughter to go to a gym at all, but to hear her raving reports about the coach and other members is heartwarming. Its not just the financial support of our emerging adults that is next-level, its the social/ cultural leadership aspects that Ive never seen thrive so brilliantly at any other gym! Keep doing what youre doing Pony Club- its literally life changing and we as parents are forever grateful.

Katie Grimshaw When I moved over from NZ a couple of years ago I was looking for an independent, high quality gym with staff and members that are friendly and welcoming. I’m so glad I found Awake - lively atmosphere, great equipment that’s always kept clean & tidy and the nicest community!

Lettia Berry Hands down the best gym around. The trainers are approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, and the gym itself is spacious, spotless, and well-equipped. The classes are fantastic too, with heaps of variety and amazing instructors. Huge thanks to Ash and the team for creating not just a great gym, but a truly special, welcoming and supportive community.

Darren Dellaportas Called multiple times and received a text from them asking what I was after to which I replied membership enquiry. Got a reply saying I’d get a call back but never did. Choosing to renew membership at current gym instead

Noah Fahour I felt very safe and like I Belonged here from the day I joined Jetts Preston. As a 14 year old as soon as I walked in I was greeted by the manager, the gym is very clean and well maintained and the environment is very welcoming.

Sharon Lettey Kole & Michael are both great trainers, super motivating and push you to do more (and thats what I want). Its a great vibe too (well, the music is sometimes questionable but Im a middle age woman) I only started a few weeks ago but by the end of my first week I felt like part of the community! Maeve is super helpful with nutrition. Michael is happy to share his wealth of knowledge with you. Dont hesitate, if its real training/results you want give this place a go.

Cam Phillips I’ve been training at ONT since 2021 and absolutely love it. The coaches are brilliant — supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping everyone improve. The atmosphere is always positive and motivating, with a great crew of people and really good vibes. I’ve built a lot of strength and improved my fitness, highly recommend whether it’s personal training or one of the group classes. Thanks everyone at ONT!!

keith bhebhe I’ve been working with the Balance North team for around two years, and my experience has been consistently positive. In particular, my most recent treatment session with Grace, who has been incredible in supporting me through a running-related injury. She took the time to explain the possible causes clearly, provided effective treatment, and guided me through practical options for long-term, home-based self-management. Her calm and reassuring approach really helped ease my worries, especially when I was anxious about the prognosis and how long I’d be off my running plan. I highly recommend Grace and the entire Balance North team for their professional and thoughtful care.

Melanie Sutherland I could not have been more thrilled with my experience at Balance North today. From the warm and friendly greeting at reception to the wonderful experience with Grace who took me through my initial assessment. She was endlessly encouraging, and I left with a definite pep in my step. The environment is really relaxed and inviting. Will look forward to getting into classes etc. Couldnt recommend more.

Nick Bain Elissa has an amazing ability to connect and understand a clients needs with personal training. She seems to genuinely care and respond to feedback. Ive noticed major improvements in techniques and health in a few months of working with her.

Sera Helen Very lucky to have stumbled across Elissa as a trainer for my first time in the gym. After getting bored of Pilates and not seeing much results for the work I was putting in a friend recommended checking out Deadlifts and Deathmetal and lucky for me it is fully sick. Elissa has taught me a lot over the year and a half or so I’ve been training with them in the semi private sessions. It is definitely overwhelming but they break it down into manageable chunks depending on where my heads at a the time so I feel like I’m constantly building on and progressing from what I’ve learned. Now I have a more holistic outlook on my approach to fitness. I love going to the gym and love the crew of people who also go to the sessions. Thats a testament to Elissa’s attitude and philosophy towards approaching training in creating such a great environment for sure. Thank you Elissa ;)

Brigitte Egan Lovely space, clean bathrooms, great equipment and nice management. Couldnt be happier with the Bullants Fitness Centre

Kim W Great gym with quality equipment. Can’t go wrong with the pricing for membership either! Highly recommend coming down and having a chat with the lovely Vas about joining, you won’t be sorry

Gemma Lumicisi Despite years of training, I avoided strength and arm balancing exercises due to the unwelcoming atmosphere of most gyms. However, I discovered Power and Posture, which provides an encouraging environment and a strong community of supportive women. Shimi, the coach, is exceptional and has a unique intuitive ability to identify your strengths and weaknesses, allowing you to achieve your training goals and more. Are you considering exploring arm balancing and strength training? I recommend Power and Posture. Its the only place to be. Dont hesitate - start your journey today.

Kathryn Kassab Ive been coming here for 3 years and I honestly cant imagine a life without it! My arm balance classes each week are the highlight of my week. Shimi is an extremely knowledgeable and excellent coach. My journey with P&P has helped improve my mobility and strength and now Im doing things I previously didnt believe my body was capable of! I also LOVE the community. We are so encouraging and supportive of one another. 100% recommend P&P!

Riley Tamaliunas Had my first visit to MyoStrength Performance today. Super easy to get to. I saw the ever professional and affable Cameron, who helped address my concerns in such a transparent and empowering way. I felt heard and I felt comfortable. I’m keen to book in again. Highly recommend!

Jubilee Nicodemus Steph is just simply superb with her treatment and training. Been a client for over 4 years and wont look anywhere else for treatment..

Vu Hanna Have been a client of Karla for 3 months, I cant recommend her enough. She creates a very friendly environment where you instantly feel comfortable. She not only trains to archive your goal, but also educates you to have a better lifestyle that suit your preferences. I feel so much stronger and more confident than before I started. I would recommend Karla to anyone. It is very worthy.

Sharyn Twist I have been training with Karla for a little under three years. I have embarked on many PT trainers over my fitness journey and I can say without a doubt Karla is the best. The key standouts for me is that Karla goes over and above to build a positive community of women that she supports to achieve their health and fitness goals (no matter where they are at in their journey). • Karla builds confidence to break down barriers to achieve your goals! • Proactively supports adjustments to programs to manage injury recovery • Builds motivation to keep on track with diet and fitness goals • Has great energy, dedicated and passionate in supporting her clients Thanks Karla, for your guidance, support and friendship your passion and dedication to our community of “Girls Lift” is nothing short of inspirational.

Marta Sanchez I couldnt be happier with my experience at Advanced Private Fitness! From day one, Jackson showed exceptional expertise and dedication to helping me reach my fitness goals. If youre looking for a top-notch fitness experience, this is the place to be!

Henry Vear Great facilities great location. Love working out in private.

Daren Weippert Friendly thorough customised work out and nutrition plans. Great results!

LHP64D For some context, I had been doing F45 for around 3 months and my partner was starting her fitness journey with Elissa when we joined Direction Strength. We went with the aim to work on our form, to build a foundation to help prevent injuries moving forward. When we met Elissa, we immediately got along well with her and she absolutely looked the part of a physical educator and trainer. Elissa took the time to get to know us, our past, injuries, limitations and goals moving forward. Once that was done, she started to assess our physical abilities and design some programs for each of us, but not rigid programs. Ones with flexibility. Frankly, shes a physical training specialist and educator. I learned so much while improving my form out of sight in the short while we trained with her. Id highly recommend Elissa to anyone. If youre a beginner, Elissa will train you right from the start. If youre already fit, Elissa can improve your form, or look into your dietary requirements and help fine tune that too (we learnt so much about food). Id even wager, if youre a professional, Elissa could help you a lot, as she has done bodybuilding competitively too. I would give her 11/10 if I could.

Maureen Wilson Great service, knowledgeable and professional trainer
