WHAT TO EXPECT
testing
Why do you want to work with a trainer? Is it to fit into your clothes a little better, to improve everyday mobility, or to work towards a specific goal? We’ll start by learning more about what drives you.
Working down the body, we’ll see how you’re moving and identify any injuries or areas needing improvement, whether it’s tight hip flexors from sitting at a computer or general wear and tear catching up with you.
There’s no pass or fail in this test, just a benchmark of your current fitness levels and what you’re comfortable with to help shape your program.
Time to get a taste of what it’s all about – the training experience. Work through a sample program of exercises and movements that your trainer will select based on your goals and fitness levels.

- 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!read moreread lessJodie6/10/2024Davey 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.

Highly recommend him as a trainerread moreread lessTiffany5/10/2024Mark 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.

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!read moreread lessAleksandar5/10/2024
- 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.read moreread lessMica5/10/2024Glenn is an amazing coach and fitness guru.

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'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.

- 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.

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.

- 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!

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.read moreread lessClaire11/04/2021Very 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 ✨read moreread lessAshling11/04/2021
- 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.read moreread lessNikki10/28/2021I 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!read moreread lessOlivia10/07/2021
- 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!read moreread lessYos9/08/2021From 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
- 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????read moreread lessK7/28/2021Very 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!read moreread lessAlison7/13/2021
- 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!read moreread lessHalley12/10/2020
- 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.read moreread lessGiulio11/20/2020I 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 !!read moreread lessMeg10/20/2020I 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
- 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.read moreread lessDavid9/20/2020Roman 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!

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 lessNeha7/20/2020
- 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!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 lessSimone7/20/2020I 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 lessCaitlin7/20/2020Damian 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
- 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!read moreread lessMadeleine7/20/2020

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.read moreread lessBrooke7/20/2020
- 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!read moreread lessSabrina7/20/2020
- 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 !!read moreread lessHuemay7/20/2020
- 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.read moreread lessChristopher7/20/2020
