- Our 18 year old son who is on the spectrum has been training with Johnny for a few months now and it has been life changing! Over the last 10 years we have tried every medication out there for adhd and depression and nothing has worked. However these sessions with Johnny have brought out a whole new side of our son. He is motivated, he seems happier and it’s pushed him to take care of himself more. We are so grateful for Johnny’s patience and knowledge!read moreread lessCarrie8/10/2023
- I started training with Functional for Life when I lived in Melbourne. When I moved to Sydney, it was great to start training with Cameron. Since day one he pushed us to get better with cool/hard trainings tailored to our needs. I am very grateful as he has taken my challenge of running a half marathon as his own and even prepared a training plan to improve without injuries. Recommended!!read moreread lessAngela7/10/2023
- I’ve been training with Cameron for the last 6 months. I really enjoy the sessions and feel super energised after the training. Cam strikes the right balance between pushing me to go an extra mile but at the same time he is caring and patient. I 100% recommend Functional for Life and Cam.read moreread lessCAMILA7/10/2023I have been training with Cathal for 2 months now. It is just amazing how wonderful I feel. We all have days when we are not motivated, right? In the past I would just give up on those days, stay in bed and eat chocolate. Nowadays I have Cathal knocking on my door, and gently pushing me to do my best, and it works, and I end up feeling so much better. I found Cathal to be very professional, highly skilled and very gentle yet effective in his approach. In 2 months I feel so much stronger, I lost 1 dress size and have much better posture. And most importantly, I don’t feel exhausted or burnt out like I used to with other training. Definitely functional for life are the best. I highly recommend you give these guys a try.read moreread lessHadeel9/08/2022
- Cameron Neale is an excellent personal trainer who understood my needs and goals perfectly from the first session. He is very knowlegeable and committed to achieving results by tailoring each session. He knows when to push harder and when to give encouragement. This makes the sessions appropriately challenging while at the same time rewarding and enjoyable. I highly recommend Functional for Life, whatever your stage of fitness.read moreread lessPatricia6/13/2022I have been training with Ben for the last 3 months and it has been excellent. Ben is very knowledgeable, he has worked with my injuries and I am so much stronger now than I was when I started. Ben has been very approachable, flexible with training hours and has accommodated my erratic work schedule. Ben has been excellent in keeping the energy levels high through the sessions and keeping me motivated at all times. The sessions have been a lot of fun and I look forward to continuing this journey through the year. I would highly recommend Functional for Life and Ben in Adelaideread moreread lessPreethi4/01/2022Cameron is a very professional personal fitness trainer.

I was still in lockdown and Jack was the most amazing support as I had to basically start from the beginning again. Jack is such a good trainer and a wonderful person. I enjoyed every minute of our time together , we had great workouts and conversations and am so grateful these guys came along during a difficult time!! Thankyou Jack you are amazing ????????read moreread lessJULIE12/18/2021I’ve been training at functional for life for about 4 months now with Jack who is an exceptional PT.Jack tailors your sessions to align with your goals, makes them challenging, and is genuinely invested in helping you succeed. Ie - those weekend text check-ins to see how your diet is going.So far I’ve lost over 10kg and I couldn’t have done it without him helping me keep on track, stay motivated, and making fitness fun.Easy to recommend with 5 stars!read moreread lessDarren11/23/2021
- Emily Watts has been a life saver for me during this lockdown.. like many it’s been hard on mental and physical health and it’s been difficult to get out of an evil circle of bad habits.. so glad I started PT training as it’s made me focus and get out and move again. Emily has been great and really noticed how low I was at the start and tailored my training sessions based on a good induction , fining out everything about me, my fitness levels and my goals. As it’s been hard to self motivate I really needed having someone to push me, is the only way I’ve managed to get fitter and healthier again. I really appreciate the flexibility Emily has given me and it’s a bonus to be able to train close to home. We both are able to work around our schedules really well and I look forward to seeing more positive results as it’s heading in the right direction so quickly! Really can’t recommend Emily and functional for life PT group enough. Great training with you. Deqaread moreread lessDeqa11/07/2021Our company booked our team in for several 1:1 sessions to help us prepare physically and mentally to come out of lockdown in Sydney and Melbourne. My trainer, Marlie was fabulous in guiding me with the right exercises in our sessions and designing my own program for me to do on my own. I have found her so knowledgeable and helpful i have continued with further sessions.read moreread lessNikki10/28/2021
- From the beginning these guys have been great, as soon as I made an enquiry on the website I received a call from Damian and I had a scheduled session booked in for the next day.Jack was my allocated trainer. Suffice it to say, after our first session, any reservations I had about 1-1 training flew straight out the door. Jack was very approachable, flexible with training hours and knowledgeable. We worked out my goals, and set realistic targets. I’ve really noticed my fitness level has increased and I’m well on my way to my goal weight. I’d recommend Jack and the Functional for Life team to anyone wanting a PT in Sydney.read moreread lessLucy8/12/2021
- I have enjoyed working with Damian very much. I was concerned that I needed help getting back into fitness after many years of false starts. Damian has taken care to ensure that my work is focussed on strength and technique, with subtle but persistent encouragement as well to do my own exercise to ensure that I am successful. Definitely recommend.read moreread lessAndrew9/20/2020
- Damian is an incredibly valuable and insightful PT, his ability to engage and connect with his clients really enables him to create a great atmosphere. Personally, I have learnt so much from him along the way and has always kept me motivated to continue progressing and achieving my goals.Thanks Damian!read moreread lessMichael9/20/2020
- Damien has been absolute pleasure to work with, he has great knowledge about what works for his clients to achieve the best results and also helps them understand how body works to ensure no injuries happens while working out. I have tried few personal trainers but he is the only one I have been able to get best results. Absolutely recommend him to everyone!read moreread lessNeha7/20/2020I just wanted to share a quick note and let you know you’re doing a really great job! I'm glad I decided to work with you. I’ve enjoyed every session I’ve had and feel like I’ve come a long way in a short time. Every session challenges me and I love the feeling! Thank you!read moreread lessBrianna7/20/2020
- Damian was a fantastic trainer through and through, built a workout based on my specific goals, was flexible and completely in line with health guidelines during the pandemic, and just generally an easy dude to have a chat during training with. Can not recommend highly enough!read moreread lessCarlin7/20/2020I cannot recommend Damian Boddy and the Functional for Life Team highly enough. I am doing 3 sessions per week via the Zoom App and I am getting so much out of the sessions. To be able to exercise in my Family Room at home is fantastic as I have never been a gym kind of person. Just over the past 2 weeks I feel like I have improved so much. Damian makes each session so enjoyable and so beneficial. I have a bad shoulder and Damian always changes the sets to suit me if it involves a lot of shoulder work.Thank you Damian and the Functional for Life Team - Well Done!read moreread lessSimone7/20/2020
- I started training with Damian over the past 4 weeks and in a short space of time I have achieved some really great results in terms of fitness, building muscle and functional strength. I do 1 PT session a week and then attended his HIIT classes which has increased my fitness dramatically. Damian has a wealth of experience and is passionate about what he does. He has also helped me to relax and enjoy the training sessions. I would highly recommend him to anyone wishing to try his classes.read moreread lessGrace7/20/2020
- I recently started regular PT sessions with Functional For Life to try and get into good habits while I'm still relatively young and fit. I hadn't exercised regularly in five years thanks to shift work so my cardiovascular fitness and muscle strength were terrible. Damian tailored my program to my goals, injuries and current fitness level and I'm already seeing and feeling improvements after only a few sessions. They'll come to you and design your program around what you have available plus a couple of really affordable pieces of equipment (like $6 resistance bands from Kmart) They use an app to help you track your workouts and remind you of proper form on non PT days. Damian is a super lovely dude who'll have a laugh with you but also gently (but firmly) push you to improve. Highly recommend!read moreread lessCaitlin7/20/2020
- Damian is professional, reliable and client-centered. He expertly tailored my training to meet my fitness goals, and also made our sessions interesting and fun. I really appreciated the way that he contextualized each exercise; his programs are thorough and contain great variety of activities. His knowledge of anatomy and physiology is excellent! Damian is an natural teacher, and his clear instructions allowed me to feel confident and inspired enough to continue my practice at home in between sessions. Excellent service!read moreread lessSarah7/20/2020

Our success stories
Kate
FEATURED STORY
It has been three months and I am amazed at what I have been able to achieve with FFL. I’m continually impressed by my trainer’s adaptability with exercises that suit my injuries, ability and fitness level. Sessions are challenging but achievable. Quickly losing 20kgs and the overall change to my life has been incredible and I feel genuinely supported in reaching my goals. I cannot recommend Functional For Life highly enough.
Paul
FEATURED STORY
Paul had been struggling to stick to a consistent routine and found his busy working schedule got in the way of him getting in his workouts and maintain a healthy diet. After working with our team he was able to lose 10kg in 3 months. Most importantly he developed the capacity to incorporate a consistent exercise regime into his lifestyle once the PT program had concluded.
