We constantly adapt, refine and moderate our exercise prescription; this means we are able to look after everyone regardless of fitness level, injury or age.

Each week

Lisa has supported me from a complete novice (who couldn’t even squat) to feeling strong and fit, training through my third pregnancy up to 3 days before my son’s birth. She is dedicated and caring, I am grateful for her investment in me. … More I look forward to continuing to push myself to be stronger!

If you love anonymous and overcrowded classes where someone yells at you - don't come here.
This gym is a revelation. Personalised training, but in a great group of really nice people.
I trained with people of all backgrounds ages … More and abilities and it was seamless.
Cannot recommend highly enough!

I hate gyms (too loud, too smelly, too many people glancing at their reflections in the ever-present mirrors) but this one is not your "normal" gym... Lisa's gym is a completely different universe! Lisa is highly qualified, … More pays attention to each one of us, keeps us on our toes and somehow manages to make our sessions fun (if someone would have told me a year ago that one day I would classify gym sessions as "fun", I would have never believed that person!). I love the classes and I especially love the community. Lisa is very passionate, really cares and creates an environment that is warm, welcoming and supportive. I definitely feel better in my body since I joined; I am more agile and I have more energy. I cannot recommend Lisa and her classes highly enough

My whole life I have been a member of a large gym franchise. Nearly 12 months ago I had surgery on my leg/knee followed by months of physio, and I was recommended to try Lisa Brown @ Innervate. This was life changing for me. Lisa's … More knowledge and understanding of our bodies and how to train is extensive. The most significant thing for me is that Lisa constantly checks our technique in order to avoid injury and to push myself in a safe environment. The small classes mean that every person experiences her personalised attention. Get on the blower & give her call!!!

I decided to join Lisa at innervate because i felt I needed to add weights to my exercise program. I love my training program because I get such individual help and encouragement and I train with wonderful like minded people of different … More ages. Lisa makes such an effort to keep it disciplined and yet fun. I always look forward to my workout it’s great for mind and body.

Lisa’s attention to detail and discipline around form is second to none. She is qualified in the McGill method and incredibly knowledgeable about training methodology and anatomy and physiology. She cares deeply about her clients and gives … More individual attention and adjustments in her group classes. I felt completely safe when training with her knowing I wouldn’t get injured. Her weekly emails and online videos are so helpful in gaining an understanding of her programming. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Lena Morrison ★★★★★ 4 months ago
I couldn’t recommend Lisa and her classes more! She truly cares about each individual she trains and creates a motivating and safe environment to learn and challenge oneself. Lisa knows each individual’s unique background and goals and … More she adjusts all exercises accordingly. I have been training with Lisa for 9 weeks now and feel stronger, more confident in strength training, and my chronic pain has decreased.

Lisa is incredible and I highly recommend Coogee gym. I started my journey with Lisa as a demotivated irregular gym goer. I was forcing myself to exercise and rarely going. Lisa’s program not only brought the enjoyment back to exercise, … More but it has also forced me to be reliable and consistent for the first time in years. The program offers variety and everything you would want to do within the week. Not to mention, Lisa is great with injuries and is understanding of personal circumstances. If you are looking for a gym that isn’t pretentious and will give you a sense of community, you will find it here.
