    I’ve been struggling with my formation at the gym, lack of motivation, confidence and gym skills in general. When I got to Fit Academy they really helped me understand and develop my fitness plan to reach my goals, and now I feel more confident with my nutrition at home and my body true capabilities. on a side note: I also learn’t how to do handstands and feel really proud about it! ! ! Definitely a beautiful community of positive energy :)

    I've only been going for a short time, but already I'm feeling more motivated and energetic. It's a great atmosphere with really experienced coaches. They work with your individual needs. I have a knee injury and scoliosis and they know exactly which muscles to stretch and strengthen so I get the best out of my workouts.

    Fit Academy is great. Before I joined one of my main issues with the gym was my consistency. Joining Fit Academy and having the coaches there to hold you accountable if you were to skip a session or anything I found really helpful. It has made me the most consistent I’ve been with fitness ever. Coming into Fit Academy I also had a couple of nagging issues and injuries that had left me a little scared doing certain exercises like a deadlift. The deadlift is one of my favourite exercises now. Working with the coaches to strip back the weight when an issue does arise to find the issue’s origin has lead me being pain free during training. Overall I would 100% recommend Fit Academy to everyone.

    If you are thinking about joining Fit Academy, just do it. I joined last year, and my only regret is that I didn’t do this sooner. I initially joined because I wanted to improve my overall fitness. I was at a point where I was experiencing chronic stiffness in my hips and was struggling with getting motivated after having a baby and a few previous injuries. The coaches at Fit Academy are amazing. The level of knowledge, support and genuine care they have in helping you reach your goals is next level. The owner Sam has built such a beautiful and supportive community in the gym. The tailored individual programming, goal setting and close monitoring has helped me achieve some amazing results. Within a year I hit my deadlift goal of 110kg, bench press goal of 50kg and achieved front splits for the first time (in my 30s!). My chronic hip pain is gone and now I can’t wait to get into the gym each day!

    I came to Fit Academy to improve my fitness, develop a good diet and daily routine, and work towards running more consistently. A few weeks in, it's been one of the most rewarding experiences I could've ever hoped for. The bottom line is that I have never been a fan of gyms and have always found them intimidating. Still, after hearing excellent vibes about the culture at Fit Academy and how motivating it has been for friends of mine, I dropped in to suss it out, and my first impression was that it had a positive vibe about the place, and I had to give it a go. Sam and his team have been brilliant from day one, providing fantastic training programs and valuable workshops, which are both fun and informative at the same time. They help you put realistic goals in place, motivate you to stay focused, are always in touch to see how things are going, and are passionate about results to ensure you're kicking goals. I've enjoyed hanging out with everyone and making friends along the way who are always willing to lend a hand and motivate you as you go. I a nutshell, give it a go. You won't regret it.

    Fit Academy is amazing! The coaches are all so knowledgable and helpful. The workouts are a lot of fun and also challenging. The coaches are great at scaling/changing the workout if you have injuries. I was returning to the gym from a lower back injury and the shared PT was excellent to help me rehab it. I can’t recommend Fit Academy enough

    I joined about a year ago because I knew I needed to introduce some movement back into my life post a weight loss surgery and this gym was conveniently located for me. When signing up I probably didn't realise at the time exactly how awesome the coaches, the atmosphere and the people would be! Even on days when motivation is low, it's genuinely a joy to workout here. Which for consistency sake is much better than feeling like 'I have too' or just skipping the off days. I have seen measurable strength gains from their carefully considered classes and their shared PT programs. I've discovered new skills (hello handstands!) and reached goals for employment fitness testing. I've even reached goals in areas I wouldn't have previously considered, such as flexibility, mobility. My time so far has seen me learn so much about my mind and body, especially what my I'm capable of when I don't let outdated mindsets get in the way. I would 100% recommend giving these guys a go if you are looking for somewhere to better yourself or need to meet specific goals! They are phenomenal with their knowledge and approach!

    Amazing Fitnessclub - I was looking for social contacts and do something for my health. I signed for just 1 month, I visited almost every class to see what’s my favourites. Everyone are so lovely from the beginning. And the coaches do the best for me. They talk about what are my goals and if I have issues how we can strength it. That was really helpful to say „I will sign for more training month“. I traveled a lot the last time and everytime I came back! FitAcadamy isn’t only a gym - they have great special challenges and different community options. For example hiking group. Thank you to the coaches and the FitAcadamy mates that you welcome me so fantastic! I can recommend FitAcadamy for everyone!

    FIT Academy is an amazing gym for people of all skill sets, Sam the owner and the coaches are very supportive and they always work to adjust the exercises depending on what skill level you’re at, that means everyone is able to participate. The community at FIT Academy is like no other, it feels like we’re all rooting for each other and there are always social events to get to know everyone and set goals. I love the shared pt and gymnastics classes but all the other classes that they provide are just as fun and will push you to your limit! The progression I have seen at this gym is unbelievable and they are always aiming to assist you with your goals. Another thing to mention is the gym is kept clean and tidy, which is always a plus!!! Thank you Sam for teaching me how to do handstands and other cool things :)

    I've been with Fit Academy for coming up to two months now. The bespoke experience, the support and encouragement from Sam and the team is unique and exceptional. Fit Academy, offer so many different classes that allows you to focus on many different aspects of health. I love the community feel that whenever you come into class you feel supported by not just the coaches but everyone else in the classes which is not a common thing to come by in a gym. Highly recommend joining Fit Academy if you're thinking about it!

    Fit Academy has to be the best gym experience I have ever had the pleasure to be a part of. Sam the owner and head coach is more than just a coach/PT. His passion and drive in supporting his members in achieving their goals is out of this world. He becomes almost a life coach in helping his members become the best versions they can be, whether that's help with their fitness goals, mental strength and complexity, mindfulness or diet and nutrition. Sam plus all of the other amazing coaches that run fit Academy make it the most amazing gym community. I attended FA for around 6 months and saw great changes in my strength, stamina, specific skills and my mindset towards my own life goals and habits. Finally the extra classes and courses that sam runs are soooo informative and helpful anyone that joins should 100% get involved with such as the 8 week challenge I took part in and the mindset course. Thank you Sam from the bottom of my heart.

    I highly recommend the FIT ACADEMY education courses, I am a personal trainer myself and attending their courses has helped me add value to my clients lives. Sam offers great information but there is also a lot of practical hands on stuff which keeps everyone engaged and also boosts how quickly we can learn everything.

    Fit Academy is an incredible place. It’s a community with positive, supportive members and is where the amazing coaches go above and beyond to help you meet your health goals. It’s much more than a gym - I’ve attended social events as well as workshops on nutrition, self defence & mindset. There are group classes & PT & specialist classes like Oly lifting & kickboxing. So much choice and all so much fun! I’ve been a member since Jan 22 & have achieved excellent results already. Enjoy the journey & try it out, you won’t regret it.

    This Gym has been the best gym I have been to in my life. I really cant write enough good things about FIT Academy, I have always struggle with Gyms, they have never felt like they were a good fit for me but this place is not just a Gym it is also a community, everybody is so welcoming, from the coaches to the members. Sam and the team really care about your progress and your journey, it feels a lot more like a life style/ life coach community than it does a Gym.

    I started FA with the 28 day program where I signed up after seeing an ad on Facebook. Hesitant at start, but after receiving a call from Sam (coach at FA) who took the time to listen to my injury history I felt quite comfortable in giving it a try. From the get go I was customised a PT program to address my weaknesses around knee, shoulder and neck issues that have come about from a 25 years of playing soccer & a car accident. Strengthening & mobility exercises that would improve my pain & discomfort I was feeling daily around my joints. All coaches were friendly & supportive, constantly checking in to ensure I was completing exercises correctly & also showing me alternative exercises if I was feeling pain during any of the classes. Along with the daily classes, I began to complete restorative movement and flexibility classes that are included in the program. I found these to be extremely beneficial, helping release tension in my muscles along with more range in my joints to help me in me daily routines. With a friendIy and encouraging environment I signed up for the 8 week series and progressed further into what I had built. Six weeks into this program I left to go on an extensive holiday having to put the membership on hold. At that stage thanks to FA, i was feeling physically stronger, with less body aches & mentally energised which I hadn’t felt since playing my last competitive soccer game in 2019. On return I have recently rejoined and looking forward to the ongoing gains to be achieved through FA. Thanks Sam & to all staff at FA, & importantly all the members where they have made me feel very welcome.

    Absolutely love Fit Academy! Going to the gym doesn’t feel like a chore as I get to go and workout with a great bunch of friends. The coaches are really knowledgeable and always happy to assist. Cannot recommend them enough.

  • 5/5 Angela C. 2 years ago on Google
    Have been a member at FIT Academy for a couple of months now and I love it. I came to FIT Academy after injuring myself and I wanted to make sure the next placed I trained would help me get back to my normal self. As soon as I walked through the door everyone was so welcoming (coached and members), knowledgeable and accommodating to my retristrictions. I now have set goals that I am working towards and cannot be happier. If you have specific goals or you are looking for a gym where there is no form of intimidation then look no further.

  • 5/5 Katerina D. 2 years ago on Google
    Truly the best gym I’ve ever been to. Not only is it a place that is built on everyone doing their personal best but is full of friendly faces. Each coach has an different skill set which means I can get dynamic workouts across my week. Workouts are modified to accommodate for injuries but also focus on strengthening any weaknesses for a pain free workout. Give it a try and I promise you won’t be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Chris M. 1 year ago on Google
    I can’t speak highly enough of the team at Fit Academy. I started with them some 18 months ago and they have helped and supported me to move better, become stronger and once again enjoy the activities that bring me together with my family.

  • 5/5 Peter H. 1 year ago on Google
    I started my FA by doing a 21 day trial with my part. From the very beginning I was warmly welcomed and encouraged by the coachs and FA members. With such a friendly and encouraging environment, we decided to do the Whole 9 Yards program with two of our friends. After talking with Sam (managing director and coach at FA) about my goals and lifestyle, a PT routine was specified for me and suggestions for changes in diet. Along with my personalised PT routine, I took to trying each of the different classes available to learn some new skills and find more enjoyable classes to help keep me motivated (gymnastics being a pleasant surprise which I enjoyed a lot more than I thought I would). Alongside the physical aspect, the mindset component of W9Y has been a great help, educating on forming healthy habits and encouraging my personal growth. The coachs are supportive, encouraging recovery as well as work, and have always been happy to answer any questions I've had whether it be about my form, things I could do to improve in certain areas, and even diet related. Through out the journey so far Sam has been very hands on, checking in, being supportive, and mentoring me, helping me improve all areas of my life. Since beginning I've lost 10kg of bodyweight, decreased bodyfat, learnt new skills (like handstands and ring work), improved my diet, meet amazing people, and most importantly enjoyed doing it.

    Yep...coaches need coaches too. 🙏 @fitacademyaustralia . As a PT for over 15 years I have always worked with a coach. Almost 2 years ago I joined FA. What Fitacademy does that sets them apart is the combination of a team of coaches that have diverse fitness and sporting skill sets, the ability to individualise programming within small group sessions, and training programs that train movement not just muscle groups. What I have been able to achieve at 45+ years old in the last 2 years is beyond any strength, skill or mobility that I had in my 20's and 30's. Thanks team FA. 🙏

    Fit Academy has been such an amazing experience! Returning to group fitness after many years seemed daunting, and I must say the transition has been seamless. Management and coaches are true professionals in every sense of the word - Professional, educated, informed individuals who assist you understand specific exercises, whilst being mindful of your fitness level. Friendly members offer encouragement with a welcoming smile always. Do yourself a favour and organise a meet and greet with Fit Academy today, you will be glad you did! A game changer!

    Everything about this gym is phenomenal. The coaches make an effort to get to know you and work WITH you to achieve YOUR goals. I have struggled with my weight, motivation to exercise and general fitness for my entire adult life and tried all different types of gyms. I usually feel awkward and uncomfortable in the gym environment. I have been at Fit Academy for ten weeks and I am already seeing great improvements, I look forward to going and have made heaps of friends. Can't recommend highly enough.
