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

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

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

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

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
