Get back to your best

Fantastic Personal Training Experience with Davey and Functional for Life I can't recommend Davey more highly! Choosing FFL and discovering Davey has been one of the best decisions I've made! His friendly Irish banter combined with his patience creates a supportive atmosphere that makes every session enjoyable. Davey's extensive knowledge ensures that every workout is effective and tailored to my needs. As a 50+ women, I really wanted to focus on building strength and Davey has tailored the sessions perfectly. Plus, having Davey come to my home is so convenient and makes staying committed to my fitness goals a breeze. If you're seeking a personal trainer who's not only knowledgeable but also makes working out a pleasure, Davey is the one for you!

Davey is an amazing personal trainer and very enthusiastic about what he does. He educates me on the exercises I’m doing as well as nutrition. He is very supportive and understanding of where I am at and tailors exercises to help me build strength. He encourages me with my progress and motivates me to keep going and pushing through. I look forward to my training sessions. Thank you so much!

Mark has been a great trainer. He knows how to get the best out of me while considering any individual requirements. Since training with Mark, i feel stronger, healthier. He has my back and keeps me motivated to reach my goals.

I really enjoy the weekly training sessions I have with Mark. I’ve definitely seen an improvement in my strength and general functional fitness. My confidence is taking a boost too! I’ve been training with Mark for the last 7 months and found his instructions really clear, fun and challenging. Highly recommend him as a trainer

Mark has been an absolute game-changer for our fitness journey. His dedication and patience are unparalleled, and his progressive approach to building muscular strength is exceptional. Not only did he address my back and shoulder pain effectively, but he also tailored workouts specifically to target those areas, resulting in significant improvement. His work ethic is truly inspiring, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a personal trainer committed to achieving tangible results. Mark is simply a PROFESSIONAL!

Mark has been my personal trainer since March. As a mum, and executive working full time from home, I need someone who can work within my hectic schedule. Mark has taken on the work of designing my training program, which is a load off my plate. He's working with me on my strength, flexibility and overall mobility. We've adjusted and personalised the exercises based on my changing needs in order to get to the improved techniques and form sooner. I wasn't far off my target weight, and reached that with Mark within a couple of months and now I'm seeing more tone and definition (bonus). Highly recommend Mark for anyone who needs to hit specific goals without having to do the research themselves.

Glenn is an amazing coach and fitness guru. He is great at improvising the routine and is amazing at keeping the spirits high. He visits us each Monday at the apartment I stay and no two classes are the same. Highly recommend Glenn! Thank you for a continued effort to inspire me to keep fit and enjoy working out.

Very friendly and professional, Mark has worked within my limits and helped me get back on track to exercising regularly.

Glen is an incredibly upbeat and personable trainer who consistently strives to enhance my flexibility and strength. Thanks to his guidance, I've effectively managed my sciatica, fortified my core, and experienced a boost in my overall well-being.

I started training with functional for life around 3 months ago. I’ve been struggling to join a gym so I joined up. I have been nothing but happy with the sessions. My Trainer Ben is professional in all aspects of fitness. He is reliable and accommodates my level of fitness. Best decision I have made, never been so motivated like I am now. Thankyou Ben 🙂

Glen comes to train every Monday at my apartment complex. The group training is fun and delivered in a good spirit and laughter. Glen is very professional, knows how to adapt the exercises to all group members, corrects us so that we do the movements correctly and teaches us which parts of the exercises work. Thanks, Glen, I'm looking forward to the next time! Highly recommend!!!!

Luis is a legend. Great PT and just a good dude too

I cannot recommend these guys enough. Luis is an absolute legend and a gem. Often going above and beyond to motivate my daughter and pushing her towards her goals. Tailored to individual needs which is fantastic. Luis has built a connection in a way that not only motivates my daughter but changes her thinking towards exercise and encourages her to push herself beyond what she thinks she is capable of and shows her what she is capable of. A huge thankyou to Luis and Functional for Life.

I have been seeing Luis now for 5 weeks and absolutely look forward to each session. Luis takes the time to explain the workout with me and also is great encouragement along the way. I would highly recommend Luis as a personal trainer who has extensive knowledge.

We have been loving working with Luis from functional For Life. Hes super friendly, knowledgeable and perfect fit for us. I wanted someone who can work with us to teach us the right mocements for longevity and strength. Luis does that perfectly and is so much fun to work with as well. He comes prepared and changes up the plans according to our requirements and fitness levels as well. Jonathan offers such a great service too and really cares about his clients goals and satisfaction. I am so delighted to have found someone like them as I was really particular who I wanted to work with, and had the right approach that matched mine -- and I found the right trainers. Highly recommend working with them. Not your average personal trainers! Experience for yourself.

Great place to work at, staff are always supportive and positive. Also enjoyable working with the clients 😀

It was a big decision to start with a personal trainer - Functional for Life made it easy to join. My trainer Jonathon is fantastic - he is great at motivating, encouraging, and knows when to push. He always has my sessions well planned and is accommodating of my shift work roster. It's an easy decision to re-sign once my current sessions run out.

Jonathan was helpful and was very flexible in accommodating training needs.

I’ve had a wonderful new experience with Jonathon since the beginning of my fitness journey. He listens to my needs and has helped me establish a routine focussing first on meticulous technique! He is working with me and tailoring everything he does to my own personal fitness journey! Everyone needs a ‘Jonathon’ to help and keep them on track as he makes things easy but challenging in your own home! I have a couple of children and one in particular loves to join in and Jonathon finds a way to challenge her alongside me! Amazing!!!!

I started my training sessions with Jonathon about six weeks ago and love the fact that I can exercise locally outdoors, with a trainer who is punctual, communicative, enthusiastic and always works around fitting in sessions around my schedule. I’m noticing improvements in my strength and energy levels, as well as my willingness to adhere to this new habit for my health.

I’ve been training with Jonathan for several weeks now and can highly recommend him, he has understood my level of fitness and tailored a regime appropriate for me. My level of fitness and strength has improved from when I began and feel great after each session. Jonathan is courteous, polite and knows his stuff.

It's been great working with Function for Life for the last 2 years. I worked with two different trainers, each who have brought their own to the role. Jonathan is very invested in his work and translates that passion to the programs he designs. I feel well looked after, especially as a new mum returning to exercise postpartum. He is considerate and conscientious and challenges me enough to help me notice my progress. He is very comfortable around kids which is a huge plus point for working out with baby in tow.

I was looking for a trainer who could work with myself and 2 teenage kids with a focus on functional fitness and strength. When I rang and left a message, I received a call back immediately. Within a few days I spoke to Ben our trainer. He asked all the right questions about our asd needs and what we wanted to get out of the sessions. We are a couple of months in now and we are really enjoying working with him. I feel that the kids are benefiting from these sessions more than regular OT. Ben is excellent at working out how to adapt an exercise if something doesn’t feel right. He is fun to work with and I highly recommend both Ben and Functional For Life.

Have had an excellent training program during sessions and outside from Jonni who is a PT from Functional for life

Working with Jonathon has been great. He allows a flexible schedule, provides tailored workouts and supportive coaching.

I’ve had Jonathon as a PT for the last 6 weeks and it’s been great! He’s super flexible with time and I’ve really enjoyed being able to work out outdoors with some direction as to what’s going to get results. I’ve lost 4cm off my belly and Jonathon is great with good ideas. He’s such an advocate for wellness which is great for setting realistic expectations

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!

My Autistic son benefits in more ways than just fitness and is able to control his melt downs as well as being more confident in public.

Ben is an excellent trainer with good knowledge and wisdom to use it. I have worked with trainers in the past and many have pushed me after I explained I couldn't go on, only for that to lead to injury which limited my training further. Ben listens when you say that something is off or not right and adjusts excercises accordingly. Ben has been my PT for a while now. I have lost cms and am toning down. In short Ben is Easy to talk with Listens well to his clients. Understands limitations of his clients

Was working with Madi for 3 months, had a really good experience. Great knowledge and very flexible with times and places she could meet me to work out.

They are amazing, the service was beyond great. My son needed some gentle approach to improve his fitness and we got a lovely coach that put him into back in track, he worked on his mindset as well. Thank you so much for the excellent and friendly service.

Imola from functional for life is a fantastic trainer. She has been very reliable, flexible and the sessions are dynamic and run seamlessly! PT with Functional for life has been easy and fuss free to start and I would highly recommend.

So happy with Imola - training twice a week and building strength - she is fabulous

Great trainers, very professional. I have seen great results. Strongly recommend.

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!!

Cam is a great PT - really supportive with programs that vary so it never gets boring

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.

Wow what a team they have here. 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.

I've been training with Ethan from FfL for well over a year and what I particularly like is the personal dedicated program which takes into account injury issues, both short and long term. The PT with Ethan is significantly different and compliments the other types of training I do in the gym which tends to be more weight based or alternatively road running. In my case the element of stretching during training with Ethan's training is very beneficial and something I don't do enough of with my other training. I would recommend you give it a try.

I have been training with Ethan for a few months now. I started with an injury that hampered my mobility as well as confidence to start a fitness routine. Ethan has helped me immensely with keeping active and always pushing to improve my fitness levels. I really appreciate the effort he put in for tailoring programs and developing innovative routines around my fitness and capabilities. I think this is one of the best decisions I made.

I have been training with Ethan for a few months now. He is always professional and keeps the program changing according to your goals and body needs. Very flexible approach that addresses mobility, strength and other factors depending on your needs. I had achieved my fitness and body goals several years ago however life events resulted in me putting on 20kg. I firmly believe that Ethan and the functional for life team will help me forge a path back to my ideal weight and fit back into those clothes I love to wear.

I have been a client of Functional for Life for 18 months - Cathal help me with rehab after a fracture. He taught me correct form & played a vital role to help me recover. I now do strength training both in person & via zoom depending on my week. I love the one on one training and adaptable program FFL offer. I highly recommend you give them a trial, you'll be addicted as I am. I have been a client of Functional for Life for 18 months - Cathal help me with rehab after a fracture.

A special shout-out to Ethan !!! 5/5 Personal Trainer. I have being training with him for over 3 months and I have seen a huge improvement in my health and performance Caring, funny and very professional, I’d recommend him to anyone

I 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.

Ethan is an awesome trainer..He has been very caring to my husband who had a cancer diagnosis 18months ago and was very weak in the arms and legs after treatment and Ethan has helped him to get all his strength back.Thank you

Ethan has the care and awareness of a physiotherapist and the drive of a personal trainer. Perfect for my needs and I'm so happy with the results I'm getting.

I've been training with Ethan for a couple of months now and he has been outstanding. He's knowledgable and encouraging, never pushing too hard but still managing to make each session challenging and rewarding.

My company undertook 6 corporate group personal training sessions with Functional for Life, with Brandon as our trainer, and they were excellent! 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!

I have been training with Functional for Life for around six weeks. The team has taken the time to understand my personal needs and training goals. I feel that I am consistently improving - my trainer challenges me but never pushes me beyond what I can handle. The program fits well with the time limitations and other things I need to work around such as full time employment and parenting commitments. Staff are consistent and reliable. I highly recommend Functional for Life and will continue to train with them.

I have trained with Ethan at Functional for Life for approximately 6 months. He has been professional, knowledgeable and supportive. Ethan’s sessions provide variety and fun!

Will is VERY knowledgeable, constantly researching and growing as a trainer. His passion and knowledge about health and fitness is infectious. He is willing to share, inspire and motivate anyone willing to commit to their own health, with him i was hitting goals before i knew it. He manages to create a fun and supportive environment that focuses a lot on movement and helping your body to move better inside and outside of our training. I would highly recommend.

I found my trainer Will Farrow tailored a great program to my 65 years and really enjoyed the sessions and additional info about ongoing 'homework' and nutrition. 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

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.

I've been with Functional for Life for 10 broken weeks due to Covid and a work injury. Ben is amazing on all levels. Always supportive in presence and absense and has a pleasant level of encouragement to keep me going. I've dropped 1 dress size and my balance and flexibility has improved greatly. I look forward to the next 10 weeks. Highly recommend for your personal trainer support team.

Since I’ve been training with Braydan from Functional for Life PT. I have have experienced a lot of progress in all aspects of my fitness journey. I’m super happy with how Braydan conducts his sessions in an organised, friendly and prompt manner. He’s very creative with his planning of sessions and keeps things interesting and applies his knowledge to get the best results!Hats off to Braydan, would highly recommend!

Since I started training with Brandon from FFL he prepared a personal training program that is specific for me and he encourages and motivates me to achieve my goals every week. I have become stronger and fitter and he also mixes it up to keep it interesting. PT sessions with FFL are highly recommended! Ryan and Justin you’re doing a great job with your team.

Ethan is professional, happy, friendly and always on time, he is a genuine guy always caring and encouraging the best out of me. I have been training with Ethan for over a year and 3 months. Given that I have a vision disability he knows how to get the best out of me given my situation. I am strengthening my body due to previous fractures, he is always mindful of my vision impairment ensuring I can see what movement he requires me to do, protecting me from further injury to myself. Ethan brings all his own equipment but is able to improvise different activities using the environment around him. My Mobility has had a marked improvement since training with Ethan. I could not recommend high enough. 10/10 in my books! Lia

Fantastic experience with Functional for life. I was struggling with the motivation to get moving when I met Ben who is now my personal trainer.Very understanding with a great attitude towards health and fitness. I was a little concerned about feeling awkward working out in my home but Ben is very easy to talk to and makes training enjoyable while still pushing me to do better.He is very vigilant to make sure all exercises are performed correctly with good posture and until I started training with him I had no idea just how out of whack I was and how much my body was over or under compensating in certain areas.I've had several different personal trainers in the past and none have had the knowledge or taken the time to explain the things that Ben has.I've learnt a lot!Keep up the great work ????

I 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 Adelaide

My wife and I have been training with Ben for 6 months now and have been very happy with the sessions. He pushes just hard enough without overdoing it, is encouraging, and is flexible with our work schedules to make our weekly sessions happen. I would happily recommend him as a PT for anyone!

My trainer is Ben, you cannot get a better trainer than this bloke. The patience and knowledge this bloke holds is beautiful quality. If your looking for a team to help you with getting fit or just working on yourself then function for life is a great team for that… I can only speak on behalf of Ben and all I can say this bloke is a great trainer and very down to earth. Sam

Cameron is a very professional personal fitness trainer. He tailors the exercises specifically for his clients needs and takes any injuries you may have into account. He is very punctual and reliable. Cameron makes you feel relaxed and has a good nature. I would recommend Cameron to anyone. He presents the classes in a very interesting way that keeps it fun!

Really impressed with these guys as a professional service. They match us perfectly with the write trainer. Michael Carey helped us achieve our goals and set us up for a ongoing fitness cantered lifestyle. Thank you Justin and the team, your life savers.

I have been training with Emma for a while now and I absolutely love our session, Emma is client focused ever so knowledgeable I honestly cannot fault anything about the business, I have had nothing but the best experiences and will continue to work with Emma as I know she will help me achieve my goal. 10/10 for everything!

As an older client I've been training with Ben since October 2021. Ben has accommodated my medical needs, and designed an exercise program that is meeting my targeted goals of building overall muscle strength, balance and fitness. When training, if I encounter a movement that causes discomfort, I feel secure in knowing that I can share this with Ben, and with his extensive anatomy knowledge he is quick to modifying the exercise to achieve the desired outcome. I enjoy the exercise variations, knowing no two sessions are the same. Ben is respectful and encouraging during our sessions. I've discovered age is no limit to what I can achieve with the personalized training approach. The flexibility, mobility and health improvements I'm experiencing have motivated me to embed the exercises into my every day practices. I'm more than happy with my results and highly recommend Ben.

hank you Cathal for making exercise fun. 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. His gentle but firm cajoling has motivated me to keep going - and I am now starting to reap the rewards of Cathal's program. I highly recommend it to all women over the age of 70!Irene Sawczak

I have been training with Cathal for 12 months now and thoroughly enjoy my 2 sessions per week in the local gardens. Cathal is extremely motivating and sessions are always varied with band work, weights and my all time favourite boxing - just love it. I have always been encouraged by Cathal's philosophy on training, and my strength and fitness has increased enormously over the time without incurring any injuries. But most importantly the sessions are always lots of fun. Would highly recommend.

Procuring Functional for Life’s services has been a big game changer for me. I am stronger, fitter and healthier, it has had a big positive impact to my life and health overall.Cathal tailors sessions to my needs and ability, whilst challenging me in a safe manner. He is an awesome trainer and makes the sessions fun and motivating.I would not hesitate to recommend Functional for Life services if you want to make positive tailor made life changes.

Awesome personal trainers who know their stuff, in terms of fitness, strength and nutrition. Have been very impressed with the professionalism and expertise of Cathal, not to mention the flexibility offered during COVID. Would recommend to anyone.

My husband Mike & I have been training with Cathal for over a year now. 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. He has gradually built up our balance & strength through targeted exercises. We would highly recommend Functional for Life (& Cathal) for anyone looking to improve or maintain their physical quality of life. Cathal is professional, attentive, interested & punctual. Having a personal trainer come to you sure beats having to force yourself to go to the gym & face the same boring fitness routine week after week!

Aimee is an amazing PT. As someone that previously never enjoyed working out, I am now motivated and looking forward to our sessions. She has helped me not just in working towards achieving my fittness goals, but also in feeling a lot more confident.

Been training with Jack for a few weeks now, and was with Marlie beforehand for about 4 months.Both trainers are exceptional - they are attentive, and genuinely interested in helping you define your goals and work towards smashing them.I come away from each session looking forward to the next (and that’s not something I’ve ever said about exercise before!). Jack makes our sessions fun, engaging and interesting - he can explain why we’re doing certain exercises and the benefits of them too which is ideal for me.Can’t wait to continue on my journey with Jack & the Functional For Life team! Wish I joined up sooner!

Landi has special needs and has been training with Jack for 9 months now and he’s been amazing with her.Jack is genuinely invested in helping her to succeed and has gone above and beyond with tailoring a program specifically for Landi and has guided her in how to eat healthier.Landi has thoroughly enjoyed her sessions with Jack.Linda & Landi

Maria from FFL is a fantastic trainer and a delight to work with. Very knowledgeable. Friendly. Motivating. With a holistic approach I love. I've made so much progress in a short time and feel so much healthier.

We had Ethan (Functional for Life, Adelaide) for close to 6 months training for my elderly mother. Ethan was uniformly professional, courteous, and had an excellent and varied whole-body exercise training program. Highly recommended.

I just want to highlight how we enjoyed working with Ben during all the process. He has been an exceptional personal trainer, making us work hard but his sparking personality was able to ease everything. Also, his professionalism was very much appreciated.

Great quality training with Ethan. He provided a variety of different exercises to do to help me recover and strengthen from my last pregnancy/caesarean birth. He was attentive and flexible at adapting all the exercises to suit my body needs, and to be able to do them with a toddler running around, or adapted them to complete while trying to settle a baby down and rock a pram - now that's talent! I'm 30cm down so far with a ton of rebuilt muscle, feeling stronger than I have in many years ????

It's been great working with Function for Life over the last 6 months. The admin team are super responsive and helpful whenever you need it. Ethan is a great trainer and flexes the sessions to suit my injuries whilst building my strength. Definitely the sort of PT I was looking for!

From the enrolment period with Damian to meeting my trainer jack was great! 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 ????????

I have been seeing Michael for a couple of months now & I am absolutely loving his PT sessions. He offers a great variety of sessions and I am enjoying starting my Mondays off the right way, even better outdoors! Thanks for all your encouragement, Michael. Much appreciated ????????????

I'm in my late 50s, I had never considered personal training; approx. six months later I am embracing the results. I have achieved a level of fitness & general well being that I did not think possible at my age.Isabelle has a wealth of Personal Training knowledge and experience in both technique and physical benefits. She is able to fill you with confidence in your own ability & improve your capacity to complete an exercise. I am now enjoying the boost Personal Training has given me in everyday life. I look forward to my sessions each week, thanks to Isabelle.

Ethan at Functional for Life is an absolute legend. Super professional and knowledgeable. He’s been fantastic keeping me on track to my fitness goals this year.

We train twice a week with Ethan, he is supportive and finds new exercises to help my husband who has a lot of back and elbow pain.

I’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!

Isabelle was my first PT and can't recommend her highly enough. She really knew when to push and where limits were. 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.????

I have been able to walk pain free for the first time in a year since working with Josh. He is super reliable and makes every session interesting. Highly recommend him as a PT.

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. Deqa

Thanks Josh for inspiring me to get stronger and fitter . You are an awesome personal trainer !!!

Ethan is fantastic. He pushes me to produce my best effort. He is great to work with and is constantly thinking of routines that fit with me goals and ambitions of becoming a better athlete.

I would highly recommend Functional for Life as a personal training service. Josh has been fantastic, tailoring our workouts to suit our individual needs and keeping each session different and interesting. He is motivating in an encouraging and friendly way and has the knowledge to adapt his workout plan on the spot to suit our strength and fitness levels when trying something new.

Very professional and extremely knowledgeable about how our bodies work and working on old habits to relearn and sustain new ones. I’m particularly bad at motivation and I’ve developed bad posture through injury over my many years and Josh has in his short time worked a great program for me that just taps away at these. His gentle push is just all I need for motivation and his ability to adapt to a change in need on the day is admirable. Thanks a million guys your stars ✨

Our 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.

I have been training with Jack while in lockdown and I am extremely impressed by his professionalism.Thank you Jack for giving me the confidence to train again, and for all the personised PT sessions.

I recently completed a session with Chloe and decided to sign on after a great trial. 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!

My wife and I always have great PT sessions twice a week with Cathal Jennings. 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!

Excellent program with a balance of sets across fitness levels. Highly recommended for those starting to improve coordination and fitness and those continuing to build.

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.

Enjoy the Corporate fitness session with Cathal. Enjoy the variety of exercise and stretches each session.

It's fantastic being part of our corporate weekly PT session. A great workout to unwind sitting at a desk all day. The workouts are led by Cathal who works us hard in a good and fun way giving feedback and adjustments during the workout with just the right amount of encouragement.All workplaces should jump on this, wouldn't miss a session.Thank you FFL and Cathal????

Very happy with the quality of the training received, the encouragement, the enthusiasm and an impressive capacity to streamline the program to specific needs. This is not your average personal trainer but a true professional who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, who expects and gets results. Can highly recommend!

Ethan is brilliant. I look forward to our training session every week.

Jack makes my personal training enjoyable yet focused , I look forward to going , and (despite the pain !) I feel better for doing itIt’s accessible, focused and targeted training , done comfortably and friendly

Damian's extremely professional, thorough and accommodating. It's obvious he has a lot of experience and expertise and I feel so much fitter and more confident since beginning training with him.

Excellent service and a fantastic company to get fit with. Very versatile and they create a plan to suit you.

Love these guys. Best personal trainer experience I've ever had.

Great service, everyone I ever spoke to/met with was always super friendly and lovely. My PT Esther was AMAZING! Made me feel empowered and was super supportive of my goals/ where I was at physically. She corrected my form which I love and is always smiley and fun! She’s the best!

Ryan and the team are amazing. Corporoate personal training has been a godsend (especially during COVID). Amazingly flexible and follow me up to keep me on track.I’ve shared their details to many friends, who all have the same feedback.Can’t recommend them enough.

I cannot recommend Functional For Life highly enough. I have a long standing knee injury and through training with FFL I have been able to not manage the weakness but strengthen it to find movement again.Both my PT sessions and the group classes have always been delivered with a calculated and thorough approach to help me achieve results and I absolutely love being about to train from home around other priorities.The commitment and service they give to their clients is second to none. You won't be disappointed !!

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.

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!

Quick response from Damian who worked out exactly what I was after. Peter has been great so far and designed weekly programme which is simple and really motivational.Highly recommend this business

Damien is a great trainer with a lot of knowledge of fitness and the science behind it!

Since I have been training with Ryan from FFL he has taken me to a new level of fitness and body shape. Am so happy with the sessions we have where he pushes me to achieve a personal best. He mixes up the sessions with different exercises so that there is no boredom setting in. Train with FFL and you will achieve the goals you want. Highly recommended.

Roman is an amazing trainer - his knowledge of physiology is outstanding and he has helped me take my running from 4kms to 6kms averaging twice a week to four times a week. The strength, balance and core training I do with Roman has helped me get back to running after a C5/6 fusion. I no longer get injured and I feel myself getting stronger and stronger (which is a great feeling when you are 51!). I cannot recommend Roman as a trainer highly enough! Dr Angela Littleford

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!

Damian is a great PT! He supports me but pushes me during each session. He is very positive and motivating and is supporting me in achieving my fitness goals! Couldn’t recommend him more highly! THANKS DAMIAN!

I 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!

Such a good team! Highly recommend the online sessions, it has never made exercise easier.

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!

I 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!

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.

Highly recommend Functional for Life as a great fun & effective way to improve your fitness & strength for all stages of fitness / and or injury issues ????????????????Damian was very professional, friendly and focused, ThankYOU ????????????

Damo is awesome!He is excellent at adjusting your workouts to achieve your goals.. the British accent also seems to be helping the process, has been 3 weeks and am feeling much fitter. HIGHLY RECOMMEND 🙂

Damian has trained me for about 13 weeks now, knows his stuff, pushes you and targets your exercises towards your goals. Would highly recommend

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!

Have used Damian personal training and he is a fantastic trainer love the program and his amazing dedication. Highly recommend

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!

Flexible and professional training - with every session tailored to how I am feeling, while also pushing me. Having trained in-person and online, each trainer I have been in contact with has been amazing - and made me feel comfortable from the first session. Couldn’t recommend the team more highly!

Fantastic team of highly qualified trainers. Highly recommended!

Ryan is incredible! His tailored approach to strengthening my body has given me the confidence to get running and participate in other physical activity my body hasn’t been able to do for years!!!

We have been training with Ryan who has been amazing! He has tailored a specific program for our level of fitness and what our goals are. He is always up for a chat and isn't afraid to challenge us. Thanks Ryan!

Great service, everyone I ever spoke to/met with was always super friendly and lovely. My PT Esther was AMAZING! Made me feel empowered and was super supportive of my goals/ where I was at physically. She corrected my form which I love and is always smiley and fun! She’s the best!

Justin was great, flexible with times and always took into consideration other training sessions I had done during the week - focusing on different muscles and areas of improvement. This was done through my workplace and I would highly recommend for other companies to get involved with Functional For Life, they have great group sessions where everyone was always able to participate.

Very knowledge and friendly!Justin did a great job focusing on my technique while doing the workouts. He was also very accomodating and flexible with the hours we trained!10/10 would recommend ????

Damian and I trained together for six months. His method of coaching was great, especially since I really felt it was tailored to my personal needs and busy schedule. Always flexible and easy to get our three morning sessions per week in. I achieved my desired outcome in our training and Damian is very good at striking the perfect combination of challenge and motivation to get me to the next level. It was really great fun and Melbourne is going to miss you!

Exceptional trainer. Fantastic sessions. I'm fitter than ever due to Ryan. The sessions are also a great social activity and are a definite highlight of the week.

Have been training with Justin from Functional For Life for over two months now and could not be more happy. Justin listens, gives feedback and structures tailored exercises for me focusing on my goals. Highly recommended ????

Sophie is an absolutely amazing trainer! She truly listens to what I want to achieve and helps me create personal and realistic goals. I always look forward to our sessions as she is encouraging and understanding but also pushes me to work my hardest. I would recommend her to anyone who truly wants to kickstart or improve their health and fitness journey !!

I highly recommend the guys from FFL. Great team of professional trainers. Very knowledgeable and helpful.

Put simply, Jimmy is an excellent personal trainer. The integrity of his work is demonstrated by his relationship with clients.He individually tailors training programs to get the most out of each session while never forget your safety or overall long-term progress and condition.He is positive, supportive and encouraging. He listens and is responsive to thoughts and ideas you have about training levels and content.Once he starts working with you, he sticks by you, whatever changing circumstances may occur. Totally recommend him.Christopher Brocklebank.

After not playing for 2 years I’d just about hung up the boots on my footy career. After training with Ryan for the last 3 months I’m back up and running and back on the field. I can’t recommend enough the thoughtful approach and personal care these guys provide!

Sessions are enjoyable and satisfying. They are very knowledgeable about the needs for exercises for corporate staff and really for anyone. Would highly recommend.

I never thought I'd be someone to go to PT sessions but these days I actually look forward to session with Ryan. He does a great job adjusting workouts for individual fitness levels no matter where you're at!

Justin has been amazing for me as someone who hates exercise. He makes the sessions enjoyable and listens to what I want to work on/improve. The sessions and results have been great!

Robert Half has been using Justin for our weekly personal training for a year now and I've been attending religiously. 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!
