As a well seasoned gym goer I look for a spark of excitement to get down and train which can be hard after retiring from team sports. I am lucky enough to have my friend Toby and the team at Live Well Bondi Junction to relight that fire in my training. With tailored programming that ties in with my schedule and quality facilities I look forward to getting to the gym again.

My fitness journey with them has been nothing short of extraordinary, and I am thrilled to share my experience here.From day one, Matt's unwavering motivation and commitment to my wellness journey have been truly exceptional.

I’d had enough of the big gyms where I was just a number. I wasn’t being shown how to lift weights correctly. Not anymore, I found Live Well Fitness. A small gym with highly trained staff. My trainer Toby gives me loads of variety in my twice weekly training sessions.I joined Live Well Fitness to gain increased strength and energy levels which I continue to achieve. It is important that I be able to comfortably carry my grandchildren as they gain weight.I recommend Live Well Fitness to all age groups, especially to seniors. Don’t be intimidated by your age. You will be welcomed and encouraged on every step of your journey.

Fantastic studio with amazing trainers. All the equipment is high quality, maintained and cleaned. The trainers (especially Toby) are professional whilst still being friendly and ensuring we push ourselves whilst still enjoying and laughing during the sessions.I’d strongly recommend this gym to anyone - regardless of your fitness level or age - as they cater to your needs

6 months in my fitness levels are up and I’m noticing the changes. It couldn’t have happened without commitment of Toby Bertola providing me with a dynamic workouts for each session challenging my limits and pushing my boundaries - Big Thanks Toby!

Live Well is a great place to train with a team who are dedicated to helping you achieve your fitness goals and who care about your well being.With a background in dance, I never really enjoyed going to the gym, however each trainer has always kept me interested and motivated with new challenges in movement and setting new goals.Live Well has a real sense of community and all team members are approachable, knowledgeable and committed to helping you, not just with fitness goals, but with life in general.

Finally getting around to this review. Which goes to show that this gym and the trainers there leave a lasting impact in the most positive way. To cut a long story short, I trained at this gym with my parents for YEARS and before that I really thought that it wasn’t for me. Chris changed my mind and changed my life, with his endless patience and knowledge.You could be the most shy or the most charismatic, but you will be able to find a community that just might be your life line like it was for me. There are no egos, just the opportunity to move your body and have a laugh.

I’ve been attending the Living Well gym at Bondi Junction for a few months now and can honestly say I have nothing but praise for Matt and the team of instructors. I never thought I’d one day find myself admitting I enjoyed being a signed up member of any gym. However, the attention and personal touch on the part of the training staff, coupled with their obvious experience and professionalism as well as all the requisite easy to use state-of-the- art equipment make for an outstanding experience, again and again.I joined the one hour Tuesday class that focuses specifically on supporting mobility and core strength for Parkinson’s Disease sufferers. It’s as of yet a small group but I have found it to be a welcoming environment for fellow PD veterans to get together and work out under the expert supervision of the sensitive, encouraging staff. I thoroughly recommend you come along to this class if you have Parkinson’s and have been looking for a superbly structured exercise class in the heart of Bondi Junction.

Q: How did I discover Bondi Junction LiveWell Boutique Gym?A: I was scrolling through Facebook and I came across Matt's promotional video.Q: What was it about the video that sparked your interest?A: Matt's (and Live Well's ) message about the importance of fitness, wellness, flexibility and maintaining physical strength for anyone over their 50s+ age-range, struck a chord and made a lot of sense. Also, I had in the past, joined a gym ( Fitness First, Spring St, Sydney), however, I didn't understand that the reason for joining a gym ( having a personal trainer), just " to get fit, " in the end, wasn't enough. What I didn't understand then, but understand now, was, that (all) gymnasiums are set up for:1. Those who already are involved in some organised sport & probably have had a trainer organise a weight programme for improving strength etc.2. Because of their sport, they have worked out their own suitable weight-training programme,3.Or, they already have a specific, organised routine, to achieve particular clearly defined aims.Most gyms only promote the idea of " go to a gym & get fit, " they don't highlight what a person really needs to know.Q: Why Live Well and not other gyms?A: We need motivation and to be motivated. Only a very tiny minority of people can continually motivate themselves. We also need outside motivation & encouragement. This is where Live Well comes in, giving you constructive positive reinforcement: Your trainer guides you through each movement. If you have any difficulty or if you find, for some reason, you can't perform a particular set, they can always find some other set, to achieve results. You can ask your trainer; why you are doing this exercise & its purpose; they'll happily explain.Q: What's so special about Live Well?Well, all their training programmes are based on movements: lifting, carrying, pulling, pushing and any other physical exercises, we as children indulged in. But also with weights. I do two half-hour programmes a week: each time I complete my training session, I feel I've run round the oval & run up & down stairs, more than once. The exercises aerobic, designed to progressively build up strength, flexibility and always leave you feeling you have achieved a great deal each session.

Exceptional Fitness Instructor Focused on Holistic Health and Strength TrainingI had the pleasure of training with Toby, an exceptional fitness instructor who truly understands the importance of identifying strengths and weaknesses when it comes to lifting weights safely. As a middle-aged man looking to incorporate weightlifting into my fitness routine for longevity and overall health, Toby's guidance has been invaluable.What sets Toby apart is his holistic approach to fitness. He doesn't simply focus on exercise alone; he considers the whole picture of what it means to be healthy. Toby takes the time to understand my goals, limitations, and preferences, ensuring that my weightlifting routine is tailored to my specific needs.Toby's expertise in assessing the right level of weight for each exercise is remarkable. He pays careful attention to the balance between challenging me without pushing me too far. It's evident that he understands the importance of progressing at the right pace, never allowing me to lift weights that are too heavy or too light for optimal growth.Not only is Toby incredibly knowledgeable, but he is also a great communicator. He explains the proper techniques and form in a clear and concise manner, making sure I understand how to execute each lift safely and effectively. His attention to detail is commendable, as he consistently provides constructive feedback to help me improve my performance.Moreover, Toby's dedication to my overall well-being is remarkable. He emphasizes the importance of incorporating other elements, such as nutrition and recovery, into my fitness journey. His guidance extends beyond the gym, and he provides valuable advice on maintaining a healthy lifestyle outside of our training sessions.I can confidently say that training with Toby has had a significant positive impact on my fitness journey. His passion, knowledge, and commitment to helping me achieve my goals are truly inspiring. If you're looking for a fitness instructor who not only excels at identifying strengths and weaknesses in weightlifting but also takes a comprehensive approach to your overall health, I highly recommend Toby. Thank you, Toby, for your outstanding support!

Following surgery I wanted to build my strength and regain health confidence. That’s what I got when I started training at LiveWell with Toby. Improving body strength for me meant focus on ankles, legs, core muscles that help me move better - thanks to the individualised program and positive environment the results came quicker than I expected. I love how the exercise programs are prepared ready to go when you walk in the door. The gym environment is spacious and well organised, with one-on-one coaching there is no crowding and best of all the convenient location means I easily include my gym visits into my daily routine. I highly recommend LiveWell and Toby as your trainer to anyone who is looking to improve their health in a positive supportive environment.

I have been a member of Live Well Health and Fitness Studio for almost a year and for the first time ever, I actually want to come to the gym.The knowledgeable and passionate trainers at Live Well have played an integral role in this. They possess a wealth of expertise and are always there to guide and motivate you. They take the time to address any questions or concerns, making you feel valued as a member.The SPT classes (Small Group Personal Training) and private sessions offered at Live Well are great fun. Not only do they provide an opportunity for personalised attention, but they also create a sense of community among members. The sessions are always filled with positivity, making every visit an enjoyable experience I never want to miss.I wholeheartedly recommend Live Well Health and Fitness Studio. Live Well has not only improved my physical health but given me a more positive outlook on life. Don't hesitate to join this incredible fitness team!

I joined the Kogarah Live Well gym 3 mths ago. I have never experienced such a warm and friendly atmosphere in a gym before. My trainer is Pat, he took the time to understand my fitness goals and works with me to ensure I am getting the most out of each workout. I also love the Super Saturday group session. It is a lot of fun and hard work. Highly recommend this local gym!

From the moment I walked into the gym I felt welcome.The trainers are all very professional and friendly. Toby in particular is a very good trainer, with a wealth of knowledge and a kind, supportive and professional manner, I highly recommend him as a PT.The space is not huge, but it is fully equipped, very clean and has a good energy. I would definitely recommend this gym as a great place to find very professional personal trainers, and to connect with a lovely community of people.

Posting on behalf of Diane:"I’ve been training at Live Well Health & Fitness Bondi Junction first with Matt and later with Toby. They are both the nicest and such professional coaches and nothing is too much trouble for them and they have bent over backwards to accommodate anything that I have asked for. Their studio is so welcoming, everyone is so friendly and I look forward to going each week. It is also in such a great location and the equipment is state of the art. They have tailor made programmes for me that are both challenging and so enjoyable and each week I feel stronger. I highly recommend this gym.Five stars "

Live Well Health & Fitness studio is a fantastic place to get your fitness groove on right in the hub of Bondi Junction. The beautiful space is ultra-modern and features top-notch equipment and amenities to support any and all of your fitness goals. Right from when you walk in, you are immersed in an extremely welcoming environment free from judgement.Matt, the Director, always keeps the clients’ best interests at heart. I’ve never felt pressured to extend my contract and the highly personalised programs keep me free from injury. Not “money driven” but rather client focused, the team at Live Well are highly proficient, friendly and creative. No work out is ever the same.I cannot say enough about my own personal trainer Shirin. I'm completely new to weights and Shirin has guided me in a professional and easy-to-follow manner. Her knowledge of fitness is impressive and is communicated in a clear way. Further, Shirin’s approach is all-encompassing rather than just being contained to our 30 minute sessions. She gives me advice to support me daily in achieving an overall healthy lifestyle, which I am confidently attaining thanks to her invaluable role in my health and fitness journey.I highly recommend Live Well to anyone and everyone regardless of fitness level.

I love training with Toby at Live Well. As someone who gets quite intimidated in big gyms, I feel so comfortable at Live Well knowing there will only ever be a handful of people in there at one time - it pretty much feels like a private gym experience!

Great location, amazing group of PTs, and a tight knit community with an atmosphere that can't be copied.I worked as an intern for a little bit for Matt and the Bondi studio has an amazing staff that really personalize the experience and workouts. It really motivates you to become better work harder. I also worked up close with Shirin, and she's so great and leads the osteo-workout group and I've just had such an amazing experience.

I have been training at Live Well Kogarah for over 6 months now. The improvement to my health, fitness and confidence has been truely amazing. Before joining Live Well Like most of us I had a gym membership and just never went. I look forward to training now and hate missing a session. I can’t thank the Live Well Team enough they just do things differently to other gyms and are really making a difference to peoples lives. Live Well is a community gym just like they say it is. I have made many friends at Live Well and it just keeps you motivated to keep going seeing the same faces every week.

I have had the great experience of interning at Live Well Health and Fitness Studio Bondi Junction for the past two months. It has been a very valuable experience to see how Matt runs his community based busniess along with the other coaches Elia, Shirin, and Cassie. All of the coaches have a true passion for fitness and working out and it is obvious that that passion translates to how they work with their clients and the training programs that they make. I would highly recommend Live Well to anyone who wants a community within the gym and tailored workout programs that will help you reach your specific fitness goals!

I have had the wonderful experience of interning at LIve Well Health & Fitness Studio for the past two months and I am sad to see my time here come to an end. It has been great seeing the community that the Kogarah studio has formed which has made a welcoming environment both for me as well as the people who train there. I worked closest with Niall, but the other coaches as well took their time putting together valuable training programs for their clients to make sure they reach their goals and see progress in their training. I would recommend Live Well to anyone because they truely make the gym a family.

Patrick Guerzoni

I’d completed work placement here over the course of a month. The coaches at the Kogarah Fitness Studio were extremely welcoming and well equipped with a high degree of knowledge and experience. They’re extremely kind and considerate to all their clients and make the workouts enjoyable. All members are a tight-knit community with strong relationships between themselves and the coaches. Would highly recommend considering this studio for your fitness desires.

I have been training at Live Well for just over five years now at the Kogarah Studio. Now that they’ve recently opened in Bondi Junction I’ve moved my personal training here.Matt, Chris and the rest of the team have been integral to my success in being the fittest and the strongest I have ever been in my life.It’s not just the training but the sense of care and community that the guys bring to the table. I’ve met so many inspiring people and hopefully I’ve been able to inspire some to achieve their fitness goals as well.I highly recommend joining Live Well if you want to change your life for the better.

Livewell is a great boutique style, well equipped studio gym which offers a number of programs including OsteoFit and Parkincise, a group program for those with Parkinson's Disease. Matt, Niall and Chris who, at different times, run the Parkincise program have a good understanding and knowledge of the effect of Parkinson's on group participants, resulting in a tailored program of exercises focusing on strength, co-ordination, balance and flexibility. They take a genuine interest in the participants, showing patience and understanding, good humour, individual assistance and above all, a wonderful service for those who need to manage the symptoms of Parkinson's. I highly recommend LiveWell, particularly for those with chronic disease.

Jenni Haralambidis

After much research and arguing with myself about shifting my habits, I made the move and called Matt. From the moment I met Matt, Pat, Niall & Chris I knew this was the right place for me. They are passionate about what they do and genuinely caring about each individual that walks into Live Well. They are all on board with my journey, and help me in every aspect of my life. 9 months and I’ve gained strength, better eating habits & a much clearer perspective. Couldn’t have achieved this without this incredible team of trainers! I look forward to every session. I can’t imagine my future without Live Well and the wonderful and professional trainers.

Hanna

04:45 13 Sep 22

Shout out to my coach Pat Norrie at Live Well Fitness.I'm healthier and fitter - at 60+ - than I was 10 years ago and it's thanks to Pat's attention to my needs, capability and attitude.Much appreciated and I'm pleased to recommend the Team at Live Well Fitness

Jonathan Waters

00:25 15 Feb 22

I started training with Pat last year and it's probably been the best gym experience I've had. Everyone is really friendly and supportive, and the atmosphere in the gym is one of positivity. I've definitely never feel overwhelmed or intimidated, and that is one of the main reasons I keep going.The other reason is Pat. We have a great rapport, and he's very easy going but still able to push me to do better! He's put together a great plan for me, and every exercise is there for a reason.......even the split squats.......I hate split squats!

Daniella Tsallos

A friend recommended Live Well H&F and I thought he was exaggerating his experience. Actually he was quite modest: after 10 months of training I feel more fit and strong than 10 years ago!With support from my trainer, Niall, I’ve not skipped a session even through all the Covid closures and isolation, he would always find a place for me to train. His dedication, professionalism, personalised training plans and care made all the difference.

Joining Livewell was the best thing I did.I had tried several other gyms over the years and was never able to get the results I achieved with Livewell.The team are all amazing, especially our coach Niall who is just awesome.Look forward to the Super Saturday ’ workouts as they are lots of fun as we get to workout in a group environment and have a few laughs.

Trevor

05:22 12 Jan 22

I had never been to a gym before and at 56 I thought it was about time to lose some weight and get healthier.I have been a member for just over a year now and am very thankful to the trainers, they are all friendly and interested in getting you to your goals as fast as you want to get there and encourage you to push yourself to achieve your goals.I have a couple of injuries and the trainers go out of their way to find workarounds to make sure you can still keep training without aggravating any injury or pre existing condition (arthritis)I am very happy to recommend LiveWell to anyone of any age to get moving and get stronger

Ben Castan

05:31 06 Jan 22

What can I say. This is not a gym in the traditional sense, it’s a community that we all go to get fit, physically and mentally. If you have a bad week or you tweak a muscle or hammie then the team will modify / adapt the routine to compensate. The trainer are always ready to help and suggest a different way of achieving your goal.This is not a gym for the solo star, rather it’s the place you go for team work and to give and receive support.

Rachael Bryant

23:33 04 Jan 22

I started with Pat at Live Well late last year and am so glad I did! The team are super friendly, welcoming and judgement-free! Pat takes the time to explain why he has me doing particular exercises and shows his wealth of knowledge about the body in every session. He sends regular messages of encouragement during the week and is flexible when I need to make changes to my schedule due to work/life commitments. I'm sure I would've given up (as I have in the past) without his cheerful support! Definitely worth the investment!

Simon Margheritini

1 on 1 training with a strong emphasis on COVID safety. Has all the benefits of larger gyms but it just feels like friends helping you reach your goals. Would recommend these guys if you’re looking for a tailored approach on your journey to better health.

I love attending my training sessions at Live Well. The team are very professional, friendly and work with you to achieve your goals. They have created a great family/friendly atmosphere. So much so that other members of my family also attend. Pat always has a great workout waiting for us on Friday mornings and Super Saturdays provide a fun/social workout. Thanks so much to the Live Well team for making my return to the gym such a great experience.

Before joining Live Well I had never experienced such a positive, supportive culture at a gym before. The trainers are second to none and are dedicated to helping you reach your goals. Sessions are personalised and catered directly for you and everyone is treated like family, love this gym.

I have trained for most of my life and then referred to Live Well after stagnating for a while. The team helped me to achieve results in my training, health and recovery that I didn’t think I could get to.They provided tailored programs that are properly designed and written for me (not just a cookie cutter approach like many other trainers). Easily recommend them every day of the week!

Live Well has been a great find for me! I was sick of the bigger, franchised gyms and was looking for something more focused and personalised. Live Well makes me feel like I'm not just another gym subscription but part of a community. The coaches really work with you to create and smash you goals. Could not recommend it enough!

Love the non threatening easy going feeling of Livewell Health and Fitness Studio. Every trainer is dedicated to help you meet your goals in a positive but gentle manner. As someone who hates the showy nature of standard gyms and has a few medical concerns, Livewell has carefully eased me into a focussed program that works for me. My sessions are fun, varied and definitely build my fitness. My whole family uses Livewell and we are all grateful for their knowledge and skill in training us. Thanks coaches Pat, Chris and Allan!

I am into my 8th Year at Live Well Health & Fitness Studio Kogarah still going strong as the 1st day I walked thru the doors in 2013. I continue yob maintain my weight & just enjoying being a part of the Live Well community. I have conquered several feats over the years and am quite pleased with myself. Matthew Mazzaferro/Owner and Personal Trainer has played an instrumental role in my transformation as well as the other Personal Trainers at Live Well. Since joining Live Well in June 2013, I got off all medication, am able to move much more freely & generally enjoying life. Live Well's Personal Training and Coaching will help you to improve your overall lifestyle and general movement. I definitely recommend you check out Live Well Health and Fitness Studio Kogarah for yourself and reap the benefits and rewards that I am STILL enjoying 8 years on. Looking forward to Year 9🙃💪👍

Awesome place to train, filled with everyday people looking to better themselves. No egos and no show ponies. Just a great community of people that encourage each other, celebrate success and have a good laugh on a regilar basis. The trainers are very experienced, caring and committed to help everyone reach their own personal goals.They have helped me get in the best shape of my life. If you want to make a change, I highly recommend joining here. You will definitely see results.

I first started with Live Well when I lived South. I took up one of Matt's exceptional offers to join a small team. My aim was to lose weight and get fit. I achieved both and won the challenge. A few years later I moved North. I struggled to find a gym that had the same ambience and personality. The team at Live Well treat everyone as though they are special and cared about. So I decided that I had to drive over the bridge and rejoin. There is nothing that I have found on the North Shore to equal Live Well.

Awesome trainers, friendly & supportive environment. I went to a 'big gym' once - felt so intimidated, I never returned. Completely different at the Live Well Studio - there's a broad range of age groups, health & fitness levels, and programs are tailored to individual goals. A session at Live Well is always a really positive & fun experience. Give it a try - you won't regret it.

I have been attending Live Well for over 10 years and cannot speak more highly of Matthew and his Team for their courteous and precise attention to my personal program needs , they are detailed and focused on keeping me on track to maintain my goals in a very friendly environment.Every client feels part of the family in this boutique gym as can be seen by their interaction with other clients on a daily basis.

I am in my fifties and have been seeing a Live Well personal trainer for over 10 years. I would never go to another gym. I don't like going to the gym but Matt and the Team make it fun and tailor programmes to suit me. I am disappointed if I have to miss my personal training sessions because of work. Matt and the Team treat everyone like family and they genuinely want us to be stronger, fitter and healthier. Start getting fitter with Live Well today. I've never regretted it and you won't either!

Happy 15th birthday Live Well! Congrats on reaching this amazing milestone. I can say from personal experience that this is testimony to the hard work and constant support, dedication and commitment of all the Live Well coaches to helping people (including me!) achieve their health and fitness goals.

I first stumbled across Live Well about 4 years ago, doing a six week challenge. For various reasons the timing wasn’t right to carry on just then, BUT I always did loved their core values and their formula and 18 months later I returned and have not looked back! The trainers are great and the community greater, truly a second family. If you are looking for a boutique gym that ticks all the boxes and where everyone knows your name, look no further. Could not recommend more highly. Thanks Matt, thanks team 😊

I have struggled to find a gym that suited me for years. After searching I found Live Well and wanted to work with a team that would help me distress from a busy schedule and keep fit at the same time as I wanted to stay away from previous medical challenges. Matt and Niall made me feel so comfortable and now I can’t imagine not going to Live Well on weekly basis. I have never felt healthier in my life!

Live Well Kogarah is a safe, comfortable and motivating fitness studio! All of the coaches are knowledgeable, skilled and very approachable. I have never felt so happy and motivated to go workout at 6am or 8pm!The boutique style of the studio and likeminded coaches set it apart from larger gyms or franchises - at Live Well you are not a number, everything is catered towards the person you are and the goals you want to achieve. I began attending 2 weeks after a knee reconstruction and my coach, Niall, catered all aspects of my training towards gaining mobility and strength back. We were safely doing dead lifts and leg presses 4 weeks post op! Also, the music choices are outstanding!

I have been attending Live Well's osteo class for the past two years and have found it very beneficial for increasing my balance, flexibility, energy and strength. The exercises and group support are enjoyable as well as showing positive results. I would highly recommend being part of the Live Well team as they treat their members more like family. If you're looking for a supportive, positive and energetic environment, Live Well is the place to be.

Life Well Fitness isn’t just a gym. They’re like a tight knit family of professionals who help you feel comfortable while getting fit. My trainer in particular, Allan , always took care to make sure I was doing the right movements and exercises so as to not hurt myself, and he was just great in general. Live Well was the first gym that really made me love exercise.

I first joined the Live Well community for a 6 week challenge to give myself a kick start to get motivated to start training as over the years I had all the gear but not the motivation to use it. Well that was over 4 years ago now and I never did use my own gear again and now am a regular at Live Well. Despite many years of trying on my own I would not have achieved anything without the motivation, encouragement and guidance from the Team at Live Well. I have never been fitter, healthier or happier than I am now. This is no ordinary Gym where you get a "canned " fitness plan. After you are clear and communicate what it is you want to achieve, the Live Well Team will taylor a complete programme to suit your fitness level and lifestyle including a complete meal plan. All the trainer's greet you by name as they all take the time to know you and make you feel welcome. Most of the members also know each other so for most us it's our home away from home. Live Well Health & Fitness, very highly recommended.

Live Well is boutique in the sense of small, personal and focussed on clients pesonal needs and tailors sessions to suit personal or group sessions. And everyone is like family which makes it a relaxing atmosphere whilst ensuring you meet your goals. I'm not a gym junkie but feel all the better every time I leave a session and the fact that each trainer knows each client by name , all clients , not just their own. This gym is a "family" Just ask the members .

I have been a member of the LW commuity for a couple of years now following feeling stagnant with my training I stumbled upon this gem. I'd never had a PT before so this was a whole new world of training. I was assigned to Chris (poor guy) and he helped me set some achievable goals both short term and long term. I built the confidence to participate in a Spartan challenge (if you know me I hate getting dirty) so this was a huge achievement for me. Better still my long term goal of pullups is increasing as the time goes on. I love the place so much my boys have become members for the past year participating in the kids PT sessions. Nothing but praise and well wishes from me for Matt and his amazing team! xx

Hands down the best gym I have been to. The trainers know what they are doing and are genuinely there to support you. My trainer Chris has truely changed my life, I have been to many other gyms where all they are interested in is signing you up and taking your money. At live well they genuinely care about your health and your goals and design specific programs just for you and it doesn't end there. They are always there to support and keep track of you.I cannot recommend them enough

I've been a member of Live Well since it first opened. I cannot talk highly enough of this family studio. It's run professionally by Matthew, who is passionate about helping others, not just with their physical condition, but more than that. They always have the clients best interest at the forefront of everything they do. All the trainers who work there are fantastic! They make you feel part of the family, which you don't get in larger gym setups. The other members, feel like family too. I'd recommend Live Well to anyone looking for a personalised service. The one on one coaching, and group coaching sessions are amazing for those who need to stay committed with their fitness goals.

Joining LiveWell Fitness is more than joining a gym. Everyone knows your name and it’s a great community to be a part of.I have been going on and off for 10 years and experienced adventures I would not have thought of doing if not for Matt and the LiveWell team.I much prefer a boutique studio that a large 24x7 gym where PT classes small and large can be booked easily. No egos or hero’s.A session at LiveWell is a session WellLived.

For many years now I have been attending Live Well gym. I love the fact that it’s not a super huge gym chain where you get lost and forgotten. As opposed to this smaller boutique gym where everybody knows your name. The service that is given is of paramount importance to owner Matthew and his team of highly trained and skilled staff. Matt gave me the full program and as a result I was able to lose 20 kilos and keep it off years. I am pleased with my results BIG TIME! Do yourself a favour and go and see Matt and his team. You can thank me later

I've been attending personal training at Live Well's Kogarah studio since 2011. On top of two personal training sessions per week, I attend occasional classes and get help and advice with my running schedule. I completed my first full Marathon in 2019, a dozen or so Half Marathons over the years and look forward to City to Surf and many other events with the running crew each year. I cannot recommend Matt and his gang of professional trainers more highly. Do yourself a favour!

I am in my 60's and have been training with Matt for at least 3 years now. Prior to that I had not been in a gym since I was at school.

7 months ago and after over a year of being inactive, living a sedentary lifestyle, feeling tiredness, sore joints, overweight and with a low self-esteem I made a decision to join live well health & fitness studio and with their help flip over to those bad habits into a motivated, happy, and healthy lifestyle. Thanks to the trainers team I have lost 10 kilos, they have been always very suportive, caring, and empower me to mantein my motivation up high.

Seven years ago I stumbled across Livewell while out for a walk with my dogs. Since then I have achieved many things, More City2Surfs than I ever imagined, ( let's face it I did not even think of doing one), Mud Run's, Spartan Events, 200Km Bike rides, Sydney to the Gong the list just goes on). Livewell is a community; the greatest asset is the people that attend the gym who provide support, encouragement and more often than not a sense of fun and humor. Add to this the constant and professional support the trainers provide, and you have an overall fitness and lifestyle solution that is above any other gym I have attended.

Great equipment to use, wide array of weights and instructors to choose from too!Made a mistake while pumping dat iron? No worries! You can drop the weights on the padded floor without being removed by the extremely bulky instructors.Can't turn up to run that 10km on the treadmill? No problem! Flexible sessions is another great part of this gym.Great price for an amazing personal instructor session!PS. Simon is a pretty cool dood
