I’ve been with Simone for the last 5 months and I love his approach to my training. It’s friendly and motivating, and he varies the exercises so it’s not boring. He knows how to push to get the most out of me. He is helping me with the diet as well. I’ve lost more than 10 kgs since I’ve started and my body shape has improved. I highly recommend him.

The owners of this studio (Alia & Cesar) are knowledgeable, 100% committed and a pleasure to work with. Alia has been a great source of motivation, encouragement and inspiration on my current personal fitness journey. She is always ready with practical advice and she very supportive. If you are looking for help and support with your fitness journey, this is the place and these are the people you need.

I’ve trained with Alia on and off for around two years now, and continue to really enjoy our sessions. For me it’s about being healthy and continuing to improve; she pushes me where I need whilst also (somewhat begrudgingly) accepting that I LOVE my food so will never be totally buff 😂 Given that there are only two trainers, you get to know the regulars and make a few friends along the way :) The studio is small but has everything you need.

Alia is a superb personal trainer! She's very attentive and encouraging, and her workouts are really creative so they never get boring! I have a chronic bone condition in my arm, and never thought I'd be able to incorporate upper body workouts into my regime, but now I can do weekly exercises :)

I'm on my way to meet Alia now, I'm so looking forward to it. Her cheerful personality is infectious. Although I've worked out for years I've not worked with weights, I've learnt so much from her and can see changes in my body in a small amount of time. Alia also gave me a complete overall of my nutrition. So if you want a voice in your head even when your not with them telling you "come on you have another 2 in you" this is the lady for you. I should also the gym is run with her partner Ceasar who is always willing to offer his support and advice.

Simone is a brilliant personal trainer who I would recommend to anyone, whatever their goals. I had never been to a gym in my life but was seriously overweight and wanted to make a long term change. Simone helped me to lose 30 kilos over the course of 18 months, thanks to his thorough knowledge of anatomy and nutrition, his tenacity, his genuine desire to make a difference, and most importantly, his fabulous sense of humour. If you really want to achieve a fitness or weight loss goal, he is the PT for you!

Fantastic support from the guys at Proud Active Studio. Simone is an expert in fitness and nutrition and is dedicated to helping his clients reach their goals. It's a great non judgemental environment to train in and whilst he pushes me beyond what I thought were my limits we have a lot of fun and laughs too. I've had a few personal trainers but I have not progressed with others like I have with Simone.

I used to hate exercise, then I met Simone who made getting fit fun. Simone brought my confidence out of me, I felt good, if I was ever down during our workout Simone always showed me the positive in life. Whilst working out I lost two stone within 3 months with Simone. I have a much better understanding with food and getting fit. Thanks to Simone I dropped from size 12-14 - now i am 8-10. Simone is very inspiring, positive and very passionate with training, I am so glad I found Simone

I have been training with Alia for nearly a year now, and I can’t believe the difference she has made to my body. My glutes have never gained shape before, despite training regularly; the ultra-tailored programme she created for me has really reaped dividends. As a trainer, Alia is second to none. She has the perfect balance between pushing you harder than you knew possible and being your personal cheerleader. I have never worked with a trainer who was so precise and focused on my form before, and it really makes the world of difference – you can feel every muscle working, and the muscle-mind connection she has helped me forge is incredible. I would recommend training at Proud Active to anyone, no matter where they are on their fitness journey.
