      I started training with Lisa back in August after constantly dealing with injuries from running and the gym due to bad form. I also had zero confidence in the gym as I never knew if I was doing things right.
      From day one Lisa has been
      … More so helpful, patient and genuinely understanding. She spends real time with everyone, teaching proper technique and making sure we feel comfortable and confident in what we’re doing.
      The change in such a short time has been huge! My form is better, I feel so much stronger in day to day life, and I’ve become much more confident in the gym. The atmosphere she’s created is amazing too, no posers, no judgment, just supportive people who hype each other up.
      Can’t recommend Lisa at Coogee Gym enough! ✨

      Great environment, great community, great trainer and great results. Lisa's dedication and experience enable her to tailor training for each of us individually, whilst in a group setting. Really happy with my results, and, it's … More great fun!
    • Avatar Karen K ★★★★★ in the last week
      I was referred to Lisa by a GP after having been unable to exercise for an extended period of time due to a series of knee, shoulder and ankle injuries and subsequent orthopaedic surgeries. Given my past history and the fact that I was … More still in rehab from my latest ankle surgery it was crucial to me that I find a trainer with an advanced level of training, skill and experience who understood clients with complex injury backgrounds.
      It was clear from my first meeting with Lisa that I had landed in the right place. Her positivity combined with her friendly but firm approach was exactly what I needed and I felt completely confident working with her. Her expertise in understanding the body meant she immediately recognised what exercises I should/shouldn’t be doing due to my ongoing rehab and would tailor a workaround exercise accordingly so that I could still take part in her group classes.
      After several months of working with Lisa I have progressed from barely being able to put weight on my ankle to being able to fully participate in her small group strength classes, something I wasn’t sure I would ever have the confidence (or ability) to do again
      I am really enjoying Lisa’s challenging group classes and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fun, highly qualified and experienced trainer.

      In the last 6 months I have become stronger than I have ever been and for the first time have learnt how to lift weights and strengthen correctly using the right muscle groups. Lisa’s Knowledge of how to turn on the right muscles and … More turn off the wrong ones has improved my self knowledge of how my body can work for me or against me. The atmosphere in the gym training with the same People twice a week is motivating and phenomenal. Loving this journey!
    • Avatar Lauren O'Shaughnessy ★★★★★ a week ago
      I’ve been so happy with the progress I’ve made training with Lisa. I really like her multi-week programming approach, which is designed so you progress steadily, with each program building on the strength and skills from the one before. … More I also appreciate her talent for adjusting movements to meet me exactly where I’m at. In just a few months I’m feeling stronger and standing taller, and feeling the benefits in my swimming and overall wellbeing. I's highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and supportive trainer.

      Innervate Gym is the real deal!
      I’ve tried a bunch of gyms over the years, but none of them clicked and I would drop out and keep paying - total waste of money!
      Lisa and Sally actually know their stuff and genuinely care — no cookie-cutter
      … More programs, no ego, just solid training and a community that cheers you on even when you’re sweating like it’s a sport.
      The vibe is old-school grit meets modern coaching. Every session feels purposeful, and Lisa pushes you in all the right ways without being over the top and having a laugh along the way.
      If you want a gym where you feel supported, challenged, and actually excited to show up, Innervate is it. Couldn’t recommend it more! I've already recommended 4 girls to join me - so that's a great example of how much I'm enjoying my workouts.

      Sooooo stoked to have found Coogee Gym and met Lisa. She puts a lot of effort and expertise in to her design of the programmes and with her help, I felt my lats switch on for the first time in my gyming life!
    • Avatar Charlotte Evans ★★★★★ 3 months ago
      Lisa is a fantastic trainer! She's helped me get stronger post baby and I can't recommend her enough. 🙂
