You can’t out-work a bad diet!

People often assume that to lose weight or achieve other fitness goals, your main focus should be on the amount and intensity of exercise that you are doing. While exercise and training properly is obviously crucial to this process, it

I can't say enough good things about this gym! Yes, it's at a higher price point, but it's worth every penny. The quality of training is top-notch, and the coaches truly care about your progress. The coaches will tailor your training program to meet your needs for your sport or goals. In the past 5 months of my time here, my coach Brendon has progressively allocated me more and more difficult training programs, and it’s easy to see my improvements in strength and also quality of life in general, which was such a bonus. I feel that GT fitness’ training approach is very holistic, which is something I really appreciate.If you're looking for a place where you'll not only get fit but also feel supported and have a great time doing it, I highly recommend this gym! Bonus, they also have the cutest gym dog, Ronnie 🥰

I have been a member of GT fitness and performance for 4 months now, and I cannot recommend it enough! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism, setting the tone for my fitness journey.Firstly the expertise of my personal trainer, Joao, is unparalleled. His deep understanding of fitness, nutrition, and overall wellness has not only guided me towards my goals but has also educated me on the science behind each exercise and meal plan. I feel empowered and informed every step of the way.One of the standout features of this gym is how they cater to newbies. As someone who was a bit apprehensive, I was pleasantly surprised by the supportive environment and the attention to detail in ensuring I felt comfortable and confident during workouts. The trainers here truly excel at making everyone, regardless of their fitness level, feel welcome and motivated.The progress I've experienced in terms of strength and muscle mass has been consistent and noticeable, and the workout routines and diet recommendations have been effective all leading to results.I can confidently say that this gym and its exceptional trainers will help you achieve your fitness goals and then some. Highly, highly recommend!

I was looking to get back into the gym after injuring my shoulder at work, so I reached out to GT Fitness. I heard back from them immediately and was offered a free consultation.George listened to my goals and explained their holistic approach to their training and dietary programs, he reassured me that they would be able to help me strengthen my body and lean down safely post injury. I was instantly swayed to sign up.George paired me with Jake and we have been training for a few months now. Jake is extremely knowledgable and has help me tremendously in perfecting my form and strengthening my body and injured shoulder. I have seen centimetres drop down but most importantly have regained the confidence to get back into the gym without the fear of re-injuring myself.I HIGHLY recommend anyone looking for excellent PTs who know what they're doing!

I've been training with George for 3 months now and hands down this is the best decision I've made for my health and wellbeing.Last year was a very stressful time for me and seemingly overnight I gained several kilos, got high cholesterol and was experiencing lots of physical pain despite eating well and exercising regularly.George listened to my goals and put together a wholistic and targeted plan for me that would suit my busy lifestyle. Utilising the virtual training app to stay connected between our coaching sessions has meant I've stayed accountable to my dietary and fitness tasks.From the first week of working together I started gaining more energy and losing weight and centimeters from my waistline - something that has not happened in a very long time !Getting compliments from family and friends about how fit and healthy I look has been the best feeling !If you want see real results, I would highly recommend George and his team at GT Fitness.

I've been doing work placement with the GT Fitness & Performance team for the past six weeks and it has been an incredibly eye-opening experience. George and his team don't simply hand their clients programs and send them on their way; they have the knowledge and expertise to guide them through a holistic approach to health, from training to nutrition and all things in between. It doesn't matter what your starting point is, they know how to take you to the next level. All the while doing so in a fun, engaging, and supportive way.As someone who's seen a little of what goes on under the hood, I can say with certainty that the team's passion for creating connections with their clients and producing results in them is second to none. It can be a bit intimidating working with these guys as a student, seeing the huge gap between them as professionals and other trainers with textbook knowledge (what I would be if I never stumbled across this gym), but at the end of the day it is nothing but inspiring and motivating.If you're looking for people in this industry who actually know what they're doing then give GT Fitness & Performance a go. These guys aren't rent-a-friends - they're personal trainers. And you'll actually get what you pay for.

What truly sets this place apart are the trainers. They're incredibly supportive and knowledgeable, really taking the time to understand your goals and tailor workouts accordingly. They push you without being pushy, and celebrate every milestone with you. Always keen to go to another training session! Highly recommend!

I reached out to 10 Personal Trainers on the same day and only George called me back, within 10 mins.(the other 9 have yet to contact me 5 months later)I was very particular about what I wanted to achieve, he listened, was realistic and I started the next week.Brandon my PT is great, he is confident in his abilities, yet realistic about targets.He has a wealth of knowledge on Personal Training and the human body, so any questions can be answered and backup.He focuses on your goal and overall long-term success, ensuring that every exercise is completed in the correct way.This is a place for those wanting a true personal trainer.The actual location is clean and with no one else other than one on one clients there, is never crowded.I am confident that my goals will be met and when they are I will be able to maintain it.Would highly recommend.

I have trained with George from GT Fitness & Performance in preparation for my wedding, I would 100% recommend anyone to sign up, George and the team focus on reaching your goals in a healthy and achievable way. Also having had a back injury I was apprehensive when doing certain exercises and movements and George approached this really safely with me and made sure I was comfortable and always alert to my back injury. Definitely recommend!!

GT Fitness & Performance has been the best place for me to restart my fitness and health journey after having a baby! George has been nothing but the best. He has been my personal trainer, nutritionist and lifestyle coach all in one! The space is super comfortable to work out at, it’s clean and organised. Never been one for PT but this experience has been amazing. I feel better and stronger after just a couple of months. Highly recommend the gym and his team. If you want to holistically feel better, this is the place!

Great place to train regardless of skill/competency level. Private sessions that allow for a more focused approach.The trainers will make a tailored program that will meet you where you are at and help move you towards your goals.Also, easy to access and find parking.

Best money and time spent. I came here with a goal to gain weight and feel stronger, and achieved more than that. I feel not only physically more stable and healthier but mentally stronger too, even some of my food intolerances passed away. I learned many things about my body, diet and training, and could see my muscles growing and feel myself much better. I am so thankful to George and my trainer Andrew who guided and encouraged me throughout the sessions. I always struggled with discipline and fitness and coming here was the best decision. Tried other personal training before and it’s *nothing* in comparison to these guys who truly tailor training to you and pay so much attention to every detail, not only in exercises but also diet and lifestyle. Most favourite part is having someone support you and look forward to, helping you to stay on track. Overall I am very satisfied with GT Fitness and Performance. Thank you for being so cool.

I've tried it all over the last couple of years: the economy gym, F-classes, and even a home gym.Nothing worked. My weight fluctuated so much that even my yo-yo was getting jealous.Then, I discovered Brandon and GT Performance and fitness. I called up, asked for the 'Chris Pratt' and I’ve never looked back.Everyone there is knowledgeable, supportive, and, most importantly, friendly.Thanks to Brandon I have lost the weight and look great, I can even get off the couch without making that old man noise.If you want real change, call now!

My 16 son and I have been training with Joao at GT fitness. I was struggling with my self esteem and hated seeing myself in the mirror. In less than 2 months I’ve gone from covering up my legs to wearing short skirts again - my legs have muscle tone again! I’m stronger and healthier. And my 16 year old has gone from hating exercise to now loving working out and now plays football with his mates. George and his team are fun, welcoming and really work hard with you to achieve your goals. It’s money well spent!

I’ve been training with Brandon for a year and it’s been great. Brandon certainly understands your goals and how to get your there, he’s taught me a lot about making changes to my lifestyle and to trust the process as well as building up the training. He’s focused and able to pinpoint areas for improvement not just related to my training. I’m enjoying feeling strong and crushing new training goals! Never a dull moment training with Brandon! George and the team have created a safe and welcoming space for anyone wanting to make a change for their health and lifestyle.

Love the place and the people - from the start it was welcoming.George was great, taking the time for a consultation and seeing what my needs and goals were.Also assigning me with great trainers, who in their own merits, offer a great environment to actually look forward to training.From someone who was never confident with weights training, they’ve help me develop a new confidence with myself physically and mentally.Great stuff!

What can I say… but this has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. The past 6 months with George, Andrew and Joao has just been incredible as I have watched my body progress to a level I had never thought possible. With their combined guidance I have achieved my primary goal of getting stronger, while at the same time getting better in shape.Words can’t express how happy I am to have joined GT fitness! Thanks again guys for getting me closer to that anime body!

I moved across to GT Fitness 6 weeks ago and I’m so happy with the progress I’m making in my creaky old 63 year old hips and knees. I train with Joao & he is very approachable and now I’ve taken his (and George’s) advise on diet I am starting to feel like a new woman.Highly recommend them no matter what age you are.

George was a very knowledgeable and friendly coach. He guided me through the first stages of comp prep and I feel that I have made so much improvement over our time together. Would recommend his training to anyone whether they just want lifestyle coaching or comp prep!!

I worked for 15 weeks with Andrew. It has been an amazing experience. Having an issue in the back and being inactive for two years, I was hesitant at the beginning as I thought was not possible to do any excercise However, Andrew was really good. He emphasised in doing the each excercise correctly to avoid injuries, we worked a lot in the techniques and increasing weight little by little. He changed my diet to eat in a different way to better use nutrients. If I had any question or concerned, Andrew was available at any time. Highly recommended

Jade Allerby

The GT team are the best! I’ve been working with Andrew for several months now and he’s super knowledgeable about the body - whenever I say that I’m feeling an exercise in the wrong way he always gives me a way to correct it or switch up the exercise. Great advice on nutrition too. The team is friendly and I love the studio mascot Ronny. They also use a great app for workouts and tracking activity which I find awesome. Thanks guys!

This unique gym stands out from the rest in the Mortdale/Peakhurst area. This facility is amazing! It has top equipment, is super clean and comfortable with staff that are truely the best in the market when it comes to PT professionals. My husband and I have been attending the facility for the past month and have had huge results through stripping back to achieve our mobility over poor technique before lifting weight that’s not achievable like other gyms. So I give a huge shout out to the team particularly Russ my trainer, Brandon my husband’s trainer and of course George who puts all the dots together. So if you’re a beginner or even a professional athlete this is the place to go to.

I cannot recommend George and his team enough! I came to George 2 and a half months ago, struggling with chronic pain in my pelvis and hips left over from my fourth pregnancy. I was struggling with daily tasks and mobility in general 6 months post partum.. I was sceptical that he could help and frustrated that I was in daily pain 6 months postpartum, despite the work I was putting into my recovery.. I was impressed from the first consultation, George took time to listen to what was happening for me and has always respected my fears of moving too fast and going backwards in my progress. Fast forward 2 and a half months of weekly sessions and in the last three weeks I have noticed that the daily chronic pain has almost gone, I’m feeling super strong and have come so far. Every week has brought improvement but the biggest thing has been the lack of chronic pain. What a relief! Weight loss was not one of my goals, but thanks to help with my food and supplements, I have lost weight (3kgs) and maybe more than 25cm over my whole body. George has approached my rehab/recovery in a wholistic way, looked at food, increasing my food intake and changing the food I eat, sleep and fitting in more exercise through the week. As an aside, my husband has been training with him for 2 years and has had an awesome experience too, with his back pain non existent now. Thanks George!

I have been training here for the past few months and can say that without a doubt the staff are amazing and have created an environment that is welcoming to all. George and his team are extremely knowledgeable and approach every training session with great enthusiasm and motivation. Alongside their dedication to the well-being of all their clients, they offer a variety of resources requisite for one’s growth and development. Let’s face it, most of the time exercise is not all that enjoyable, but training here makes you think otherwise.
