I've been using Functional For Life ever since the lockdowns as they offer corporate personal training services. We actively got the company involved where we sometimes all the staff got engaged with the sessions. Great fun all round. Coming out of lockdown, we went back into in person training which brought another element to their service. Depending on the day, we would either do the session inside the office or out in the park so very refreshing and different experience each time. Highly recommend their services, great customer experience and always willing to refer people to them. read less

Each session provided a variety of weights and cardio exercises, which Brandon adapted to any injuries to our employees. The corporate group training was a great experience for our organisation, as it allowed all our employee's to come together, work as a team or provide a bit of fun competition. I liaised with Justin and Brandon throughout the 6 weeks and both were quick to respond to any questions I had. I highly recommend the corporate group training for any organsiation that are looking at alternative benefits for their employees or different ways to bring their employees together. Thanks for everything guys - until next time! read less

It was stressed that flexibility and increasing range of movement are very important and Will ensured everything was warmed up before going on the the exercise program.The sessions have been motivating and have resulted in more energy and less weight!His knowledge helped enormously after I incurred an shoulder injury playing tennis and worked through a program assist in the recovery process.Steve read less

As a mature aged woman of many years Cathal has helped me realise that one's well-being starts with looking after one's body.

I highly recommend it to all women over the age of 70!Irene Sawczak read less

Our weekly sessions with him are engaging, challenging & full of variety. The activities are designed by Cathal to push us but never beyond our ability or limits.

Was so supportive and encouraging during sessions adapting to the exercises I enjoyed. Also technical and realistic in terms of nutrition advice. Got from a point where I was really feeling unmotivated to having a healthier body, positive attitude and increased knowledge around nutrition and back to fitness. The impact your sessions made were so profound so glad I signed up.???? read less

I have an old knee injury that prevents me from doing a lot of high impact workouts but Chloe listened to me and adapted and personalised exercises to ensure I wouldn't feel any pain.A big plus I experienced at Functional for Life over other places is that they took an interest in what my personal fitness goals are rather than assigning a generic plan.Everybody I have spoken to at the company has also been professional and kind! read less

If you look at my previous reviews, they are 95% all about restaurants LOL... So we made a conscious decision to do PT before our belly is getting rounder and rounder.We started few months ago and I have to be honest, the first few sessions, I felt like my body was made of plastic. Felt really weak after each session and took me about a week to recover.Thanks to Cathal and his expertise to understand our body and ability, slowly, we are getting stronger and now it takes less than a day to recover well.Highly recommend Functional for Life personal training sessions to everyone who wants to get fit, lose weight, and be healthy in general! read less

We're lucky to have personal training offered to us by our Corporate HR function as part of our employee benefits program and we're even luckier to have Justin as our trainer. I've personally found him to be highly focused on form and staying within your comfort zone to ensure gradual strength and fitness improvement without injury. He's always well planned, prepared and punctual...not to mention he's also a good bloke! read less

I wanted to find a PT that knew enough about the mechanics of what was causing that pain and within the first few sessions I noticed I wasn’t pulling up sore and with their training, strengthened those areas.Not only have I relieved that pain but my entire body is benefiting. read less

So I took his advice. That was how I started taking a PT 4 years ago. My trainer at the time unfortunately decided to change career and referred me to Ryan. I have been training with Ryan for almost two years now. I am so grateful to have Ryan as a trainer who is knowledgeable, innovative and more importantly having an incredible attention to detail. These perfected blend of skills have motivated me to a consistent weekly training and that is the secret of having result. I do not have to go for knee surgery so this speaks for itself. Highly recommend. read less

I'm continually impressed by Ryan's ability to adapt every activity to suit my injuries, ability and fitness level.

I have always been in to my fitness and health but what FFL has done for me is greatly increase my mobility and strength with the focus around functional exercise. I have suffered from lower back issues for almost 10 years, which lead me to avoid a lot of things but FFL has made it possible for me to do any exercise or activity without restriction which i am extremely greatful for. I will continue training with Justin at FFL indefinitely and cannot recommend this company more. read less

I hate exercising and would rather be eating chicken nuggets than doing squats, but he has made my transition to a more healthier lifestyle so much fun. I’m fitter and stronger, plus the effects on my mental health have been amazing. Doing sessions with Ryan in my local park is a thousand times better than any gym I’ve ever tried. Highly recommended these guys! read less

Without even looking, my interest in personal training was sparked by a work colleague who had recently decided to make a change themselves and recommended their new trainer, Ryan.I decided to give it a go with a friend and immediately we loved the friendly, flexible and personalised approach. The ability to work out wherever you want makes training more fun and less intimidating than a gym. We were both particularly impressed at Ryan’s ability to juggle our different fitness levels and ailments, his resourcefulness of our surroundings and always mixing our sessions up with different activities. Ryan doesn’t just teach you how to squat or do a push up but instead educates you on a variety of different aspects of your health, which has personally helped shape my lifestyle and diet changes, all of which have contributed to my success.I’ve now been doing sessions for 1 year now, twice a week, and have referred three other friends who are now regulars. I’m 20 kgs down and counting, but most importantly have developed an amazing relationship with exercise that has left me feeling strong, happy and confident. I cannot recommend Ryan and Functional for Life highly enough! read less

He comes to you and all equipment is provided! He's focused on your progress and tailors exercises to your specific goals and body. If you're looking for a personal trainer, Ryan is the one. read less

I have been training with Justin twice a week for approximately 3 months.

Justin not only ensures that his sessions are tailored to your needs but also focusses on how he can work with you to improve and extend your fitness levels. Personally, Justin helped me return to regular training after a long break and as a result of our sessions I am now feeling stronger, fitter and generally healthier and more balanced. read less
