The Power of the Sun: Why a Little Morning Sunlight Can Be Good for Your Health

Last Tuesday, on my way to work, I stopped at Ramsgate Beach to watch the sunrise. It was one of those beautiful Sydney mornings where the sun slowly appeared over the horizon and, for a few minutes, everything seemed a little quieter. It made me think about something we probably don’t appreciate enough. The incredible […]

I’ve been loving my time at Live Well Fitness Kogarah, as I do shift work I do have different trainers occasionally, but all have been great , a special callout to my ‘semi regular’ trainer Pat , who not only is dedicated to helping me achieve my best results , will also throw in some handy hints for snacks or dinner.The ‘one on one’ training was exactly what I needed to get me back on track after not having done anything for quite a while , can thoroughly recommend.

Toby from Live Well Health and Fitness Bondi Junction has proven to be the best investment I’ve made in improving my physical health.Every session is well planned, diverse and fun. He is super knowledgeable, encouraging and cheeky!!I’ve noticed huge improvements in my strength and stamina which boosts my confidence.Toby’s attention to technique, form, and injury prevention is at a high leveland his enthusiasm is contagious, even on days when I don't feel like training!My approach to training has been completely transformed, I highly recommend Toby Bertola as a PT to anyone that is seeking toImprove their physical health.

Live Well was recommended to me by my osteo when I was looking for a gym, as i kept getting told I needed to maintain my muscle strength and combat the effects of my sedentary job. Having not been in a gym for years, I was feeling overwhelmed in terms of finding one that would suit me. Live Well is a small, really friendly gym and made me feel comfortable from the start. My trainer Jono put together a program, which evolves as we go, and offered lots of support through some early hiccups. I've made so much progress in the two months I've been going - I'm stronger, fitter and my lower back problems have eased. As an added bonus, I'm also getting much better sleep and Jono helps with nutrition and other health tips. Love my two 30 minute sessions a week - Jono and the rest of the team are fantastic and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Been with Live Well Fitness in Bondi Junction for a month now and honestly it's been awesome. From the first session Toby and the team actually sat down and figured out what I wanted to get out of training, and tailored it towards my own goals.What I really enjoy and appreciate is how much the team actually cares about what they do. You can tell every session that they genuinely want to help you reach your goals, give form cues and show you how exercises are properly done, and they pay attention to how you're tracking week to week. It's evident that they care about getting you proper results because they're invested in seeing you succeed.The atmosphere in the gym is also great! The whole team checks in on how you're going, which keeps you accountable and helps you stay in a positive mindset.It's pretty rare finding a gym where the staff actually remember what you're working towards and want to see you improve.If you're after a gym in Bondi Junction with a team that loves what they do and actually cares about your progress, can't recommend Live Well Fitness enough. Big thanks to Toby, Max, and Jono and the whole crew!!!

I can't recommend Live Well Health & Fitness Studio highly enough. I joined a group that Niall trained in preparation for climbing Mount Kosciuszko, and the majority of us were first time climbers who were understandably nervous about the challenge ahead.Niall was incredibly patient, supportive, and encouraging throughout the training. There were times when I doubted whether I would make it, but Niall always reassured me and confidently told me that I would.Thanks to the preparation and training provided by Live Well, I was able to complete the climb alongside my mum. Even better, neither of us experienced any pain on the day of the climb or the day after, which is a testament to how well Niall prepared us physically.Thank you, Live Well Health & Fitness Studio, for making my Mount Kosciuszko experience with Autism Community Network such a breeze. The support, encouragement, and expert training gave me the confidence to achieve something I wasn't sure I could do. I am incredibly grateful.

I’ve had such a great experience at Live Well Fitness and I’m still training with them.The trainers really take the time to understand your goals, your fitness level and what you want to achieve. They don’t just run you through a standard workout — they correct your technique, explain what you’re doing and push you in a way that feels motivating, not intimidating.The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, but still focused and professional. You can tell the team genuinely cares about their clients and wants to see you improve.I always leave feeling stronger, more confident and motivated to keep going. Highly recommend Live Well Fitness to anyone who wants proper guidance, great trainers and a supportive environment.

I am a 52 year old male that has had several intense surgeries which has impacted my ability at times to maintain a healthy lifestyle, as a result I have struggled with motivation to constantly look at my physical well being and control my weight gain.I joined the program at Live Well Health and Fitness Studio with Chris guiding my new approach to healthy physical well being.Without doubt I am loving the different approach to fitness that their program targets to my age group. It's well thought out as well as in consultation with my Chiropractor to ensure I work within the constraints of what my body can achieve and avoid frustrating injuries, which in the past have led to frustration and inevitably lost motivation to continue with fitness targets.They challenge not only my thinking of what I can achieve in the gym, but also my dietary habits, avoiding the guilt trips and promoting my approach to healthy food choices and always offering support that is only a phone call away.If you're also in the age group of 45 or older and would like to get back in to a healthy lifestyle of a gym setting again, why not try Live Well. I honestly haven't regretted a moment since I started.Thanks again Chris, you and your team to do a fantastic job and I'm really enjoying doing physical training again.

Chris and the team are awesome! They have a level of care which transcends other gyms.Others focus more on signing clients up and no follow up, particularly on self accountability.Chris and the team make sure you show up for you!Yes there’s weights and some cardio, but there is also a level of care surrounding wellbeing and mental health. They go above and beyond to provide a holistic, individualised approach to every person who walks through their doors.And - you get fitter, feel better and see movement on the scales and looser fitting clothes!Highly recommend them!

I’ve been training at Live Well Health & Fitness Studio in Bondi Junction and honestly couldn’t be happier.Alfie is an incredible personal trainer — his knowledge is next level, but what really stands out is how well he understands his clients and their individual needs. As a busy mum of two, I needed something realistic, effective, and tailored to my lifestyle — and that’s exactly what he delivered.Since starting, I’ve become noticeably stronger, lost weight, and most importantly, I actually look forward to every session. Alfie keeps things motivating, structured, and enjoyable, which makes all the difference.Highly recommend Alfie and the team to anyone looking for real results with the right support!!

The studio has such a welcoming, friendly feel - no intimidating vibes whatsoever, which makes it great for all ages and fitness levels. Matt and his team make everyone feel comfortable from day one.

I cannot recommend Live Well Health & Fitness Studio highly enough.The support, professionalism, and energy in this place are genuinely exceptional. A huge thank you to Max, whose training has played a major role in helping me work towards my goals. His knowledge, dedication, and ability to push you while understanding your individual needs make every session valuable and motivating.A special mention to Matt Mazzaferro for creating such an outstanding environment, and to the Bondi team Toby, whose approachability and professionalism make the studio feel welcoming from the moment you walk in.Also, Monika and Alfie deserve recognition for being fantastic coaches who bring great energy, encouragement, and support to the team every day. Everyone contributes to making this space feel empowering, positive, and focused.What stands out most is how welcoming the entire team is. The atmosphere is motivating, the energy is strong, and you genuinely feel supported no matter what stage of your fitness journey you are at.If you are serious about your health, fitness, and achieving real goals, this is a place I would highly recommend. There is truly no other environment like it.

Alfie is an amazing PT and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Sessions are tailored to my goals which I love. They’re always challenging yet fun, and his genuine encouragement and enthusiasm makes all the difference. I’ve noticed my strength increase and have lost weight too, so am feeling amazing. So happy I found Live Well. If you’re looking for a great space to train and get results, Alfie is your guy!! Ten stars.

I’ve been training with the Live Well team for several years and can’t recommend them highly enough!!They’ve supported me through many stages of life, especially postpartum, helping me safely return to training, rebuild my strength, and regain my energy. Their team is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to strength training, rehabilitation, and overall health. They take the time to check in regularly and make sure you’re progressing towards your goals.As a chiropractor, I have no hesitation referring my patients to Live Well for personal training and rehabilitation support. I know they will follow through with programs and work collaboratively with clients to improve posture, strength, and help manage pain or injuries.Highly highly recommend !!

I’ve trained the traditional bodybuilding way for years. Chest day, back day, arm day. Always chasing the pump. It works, but I was starting to feel tight, a bit beat up, and not that athletic outside the gym.Training at Live Well has been different in a good way.Total body sessions. Squat, hinge, push, pull, carry. Everything has a purpose and actually progresses week to week. I feel stronger overall, not just in one lift or one body part.Biggest thing is how my body feels. Fewer niggles, better movement, and more confidence under load. It’s tough training, just smarter.If you’re stuck in split routines and want to feel strong and capable long term, this style of training just makes sense.Highly recommend.

I’ve been going to Live Well in Bondi Junction for about 8 weeks and it’s been a challenging but really positive experience. My goal is to run injury free, which in my late 50s means regular strength training. I’ve never worked with a PT before, but my time with Harrison has been fantastic for the knowledge and positivity he brings to every session. I’ve seen a genuine difference in my running since committing to weekly sessions at Live Well. I’ve also been really happy with how friendly and welcoming the staff and other clients have been.

Alex Poulos

11:06 15 Jan 26

I never thought that I would ever look forward to a training session in my 60’s until now. My trainers have provided a safe and varied programme for me to build strength in an enjoyable environment. Highly recommend.

Alfie is an excellent personal trainer at Live Well Bondi Junction—knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely supportive.

Amanda Mitchell

Max is an amazing Coach - PT! He is relentless in keeping me motivated. And I am tough! He has fixed my shoulder with great strengthening exercises and has improved my overall strength. Toby there is great too. It’s a terrific place to go to for a relaxed environment but very purposeful sessions to get and/or keep your body in shape. Highly recommend Live Well Health and Fitness Studio - Bondi Junction. A great place to go!

I am a student from Boston University who did a placement at LiveWell. I had an amazing experience there, they work incredibly with their patients. They work with everyone, all ages, disabilities, experience levels, or anything. All of the coaches do such a great job at curating their workouts to the person and giving them exactly what they need any and need. I highly recommend for any who is trying to get in shape, work on mobility, or further their fitness journey!

I highly recommend Live Well at Bondi Junction especially my trainer Monika. It caters to all ages and everyone is really friendly and welcoming. Monika’s program for me focused on lifting heavy weights to improve my bone density as I am a 64 year old women. I am so much stronger and all my little niggly aches and pains have disappeared. This inspired me to also lose some extra weight. Monika really helped giving me good advice about nutrition and brands that have helped me along the way. I cannot recommend this place any more!! Especially the very excellent Monika!

I’ve always struggled with strength training - from the philosophy behind it to the mechanics. But Toby and the team at Live Well built a program that was realistic and also pushed me. I feel like I’m on the right path and have a clear path to a stronger life. And hopefully a better swimmer. Get down there.

I’m really happy with the Live Well Gym in Beverley Park! The team is fantastic — very patient, helpful, and supportive. I’ve enjoyed the workouts and meeting different people here. The free Super Saturday sessions are a great bonus and always give you a proper workout. I was never a gym person before, but now I look forward to my regular sessions every week!

Sarah Clayton

Karen Buckley

23:23 07 Aug 25

I am not a gym person and exercise is not my favourite thing to do. But this is changing with the encouragement, patience and support of Chris from Live Well Health and Fitness. Living with Parkinson's Disease is challenging however Chris has shown me that with increased strength and balance and having and achieving goals, I can live a great life and have increased confidence in moving around. And still do the crazy things I want to do in everyday life and on holidays. Yes - you do have to put up with him laughing at every poor joke and one liner that you deliver - but he is part of my tribe. A tribe that everyone needs to live well despite life's challenges.

Best thing I could ever have done for myself.First time gym person 6 months on and still loving it.We both do 2 days a week together, with the help and expertise from Pat and Niall – quite the dynamic duo and extremely flexible with our busy schedules, always accommodating.The progress has been amazing, I feel great, so much stronger and body shape is still changing for the better.These two are brilliant trainers who really know how to push and encourage you.

The team at the gym does a great job personalising your training for your specific circumstances. Despite being old & overweight, I have never felt self-conscious or embarrassed. My recent dodgy knee that I twisted while putting out the bins - not a problem, Max quickly worked it into the routine.

I was in the middle of preparation for a major physical challenge & hike of a lifetime and while I was motivated and resilient I didn’t want to make any assumptions regarding the training program needed for such a goal. It was just by chance that I’ve noticed a “Live Well Health & Fitness Studio” add on Instagram which caught my attention. I went to see the place and met Chris for the initial consultation. Chris was able to reassure me that he will design the training program around my needs. I was assigned to work with wonderful Niall and Kayla. Over the next 10 weeks I very much enjoyed our training sessions as they made it fun and enjoyable. They've been so motivating and encouraging, especially when I hit a plateau. Their positive attitude has helped me stay focused and achieve my fitness goals.If motivation, flexibility, and a personal approach is what you’re looking for in a PT, then “Live Well Health & Fitness Studio” is the place for you and Kayla and Niall are a professional duo I can highly recommend.

I'm 63 and had never been to a gym before in my life so I had no idea what to expect. I've been training with Monica twice a week for over a month now and it's been excellent. The gym is small with not too many people at a time so it feels comfortable and not at all intimidating. Monica has been great with me - just finding the right amount of challenge to gradually improve my strength and fitness. I highly recommend Monica and Live Well Fitness Studio.

The LiveWell Team are true professionals at crafting your fitness journey in alignment with your goals.

My husband and I have been training with Niall at Live Well for close to 4 months now, and in all honesty, I've been a little reluctant to write a review for the simple reason that we can't bear to lose him to other trainees! 😂 So here's hoping this review doesn't result in him becoming TOO in demand.🤞🏼😉From the moment we enquired with Live Well, we couldn’t be more impressed with the experience.From day one, Niall has been incredibly supportive, creating a fitness plan that fits both of our specific goals and challenges, always ensuring to check in with us on our mental health & ongoing injury recovery.His knowledge and dedication to helping us improve has made a real difference, and in under 4 months, both my husband and I can already see the effects (both physically & mentally).What stands out most is how Niall’s approach is both challenging and encouraging. He's always adapting our sessions & weights to ensure we're getting the most out of every workout, while also being mindful of our body’s needs & limitations.It’s clear that he genuinely cares about his trainees and we always look forward to our sessions (even when an assault bike is involved, which says a lot 😂)!The gym itself is always welcoming, clean, and well-equipped, which makes every visit enjoyable. Every other trainer we've encountered or witnessed in the gym has also been absolutely lovely, warm & personable. You honestly can't go wrong trusting your health with any of them.All in all, if you’re looking for a trainer who truly listens, adapts, and pushes you to achieve your fitness goals, Niall is the one. We also can’t recommend Live Well enough – great gym, fantastic trainers, and an all-around positive experience!We're so thankful that we found Live Well when we did, and look forward to kicking many more goals here in the years to come! 💪🏼

Attending and being part of the Live Well family is something I would recommend to everyone I know. Live Well is a great inviting environment for all ages which is full of enthusiasm and support. Since being part of the family, Live Well has elevated my self confidence and esteem and truly shown me what being part of a team working for a common goal is like, the common goal being the betterment of every individual at Live Well. I encourage everyone to go check it out.

This is the first gym I've gone to that has kept me accountable to my health goals and that I actually enjoy going to. I started going to the Small Group PT sessions around 6 months ago due to a bulge in lower vertebrae and needing to improve my overall strength. Pat was able to assess the problem and my mobility with a 1-on-1 PT session and set me up with a training program that has dramatically improved my back pain (and overall strength). The community at the gym is wonderful and all the trainers are great people to work with. Highly recommend!

Oscar Bilbao

I have been training with the team in Live Well Bondi Junction for 1 year now. I do mainly group training classes and was looking for something to get me out of the training rut. What I got was beyond my original expectation, hitting PBs on various exercises. Matt, Elia, and also Monika never fail to challenge and push me, whilst correcting my forms when needed. I highly recommend Live Well.

I'm very lucky to be trained by Toby. I've never attended a gym consistently, but I was made to feel welcome in an inclusive space for people on any exercise journey. The sessions are tailored to you, and you’ll be excited to turn up each week. The best part of this gym is the banter! It’s a good balance between great conversations and a challenging workout. I’d absolutely recommend seeing Toby.

Live Well Health & Fitness Studio - Bondi Junction has been a great introduction to one on one personal training, for me.The studio is a good sized space and never feels crowded. The coaches are a friendly bunch who make you feel welcome and at ease when you’re working out. I really look forward to my sessions each week, as my program has been tailored to my requirements. The guidance and encouragement from my coaches Max Pardoe and Matt Mazzaferro has helped me make measurable improvements to my fitness and wellbeing.Don’t hesitate to trial a few sessions with the Live Well team. I’m glad I did.

This is a fantastic place to get high-quality coaching in weight training. The atmosphere is friendly and enjoyable, with top-notch equipment and wonderful high ceilings. Most of all, I am very well looked after by Elia and Max, who are incredibly attentive, excellent—and funny. They push me to reach my goals while making each session both enjoyable and challenging. A special shout-out to Elia for making me feel confident about lifting again!

Best experience I've had with personal trainers. Pat's programs are challenging but enjoyable, I always feel like I am making progress, but I can still walk the next day. The staff are lovely, great atmosphere and equipment. I would definitely recommend any of the trainers at Live Well Fitness Kogarah.

Nice atmosphere in this small, personable gym. This is a judgement free zone where all the trainers are knowledgeable and friendly. It has a Cheers vibe to it, where everybody knows your name (TV reference for the over 50s). Even fellow clients are encouraging.The trainers will push you but never to an impossible level and you will achieve improvements week to week. Just when you think you have mastered the program. it changes. I know that’s a good thing but some days, I’m not sure if I’m happy or sad about that.I used to go to a big gym but only did group classes because weight rooms were intimidating. It’s nice to go to a place where there is none of that.I’m not a person that loves exercise but appreciate the physical and mental benefits so thanks Elia, Max, Toby and Matt for creating a fun environment and keeping me motivated.

Toby is a fantastic trainer with great sense of humor so every session is filled with laughter and a positive attitude so the time passes quickly without you even realising that you are getting a great workout.Together with the other trainers, Toby creates a very friendly environment where you instantly feel comfortable with lots of banter between all those present.Having not done any serious gym training ever and being over 50, the attention and personal approach has been amazing and I feel great and I’m stronger than I have ever been.I highly recommend Toby and the Live Well crew. You will be looked after and inspired with lots of fun monthly challenges.

I have been training with Toby at Live Well Bondi Junction for almost one year now, the gym was recommended to me by my Physio who I think was sick of seeing me so regularly for the same back issues time after time.From regular visits to the Physio to not going back even once since joining the gym is a testament to how good these guys (and in particular Toby) are.In addition to general health and fitness, being given a tailored work out to focus on strengthening my back has been a godsend.Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for one on one training with highly skilled PT’s that will work with you to achieve your goals.

I was referred to live well by Kenny my physio after breaking my elbow I had lost muscle in my arm and had little range and lots of pain . At first I found it difficult but as weeks went by it got easier and easier I now have almost full range back and realize as I am 74 years old it it is helping with my bone density . Over the past weeks I have grown close to Toby Max and the guys Max and I invented a game to make time pass joyfully we each had to describe a flag. Of a country put forward from each other Max always won .i enjoy my classes i like the personalized treatment and I feel I’m getting good results .

I've been to so many gyms in Bondi Beach and Bondi Junction. So glad I decided to give Live Well a try. Its been life changing.I can't recommend Matt enough as a personal trainer! He is truly amazing and has such an individualized approach to training that sets him apart from anyone else. From the very first session, Matt took the time to understand my specific goals, fitness level, and any limitations I might have. His personalized workouts are not only effective but also enjoyable, making each session something I look forward to.Matt's expertise and dedication are evident in the way he tailors each exercise to fit my needs, ensuring I make steady progress while avoiding any risk of injury. His positive attitude and constant encouragement keep me motivated, and his knowledge of fitness and nutrition has been invaluable in helping me achieve my goals.If you're looking for a gym with personal trainers (Matt, Toby, Elia!!) who genuinely care about your progress and well-being, this place is the one to go to.

Im a competitive squash player and toby has tailor made a program to help support my squash. I love the space and the equipment they use (intelligent and seamless to use). I also love how simple he has made it for me so i dont have to think. I highly recommend these guys especially if you are serious about your training.

I’ve been attending Live well for around 18 months. Such a great team, super friendly and encouraging. I’m lucky enough to have Toby as my trainer, I’ve been training with him for almost a year now. He’s always been flexible (with times) and understanding of my work schedule. Has clear plans and checks in regularly to make sure we’re on track to achieving goals. Looking forward to 2024!!

Live Well is such a welcoming and low key environment. It was such a great atmosphere to train in. All the staff are so friendly and personable. Niall was absolutely incredible and I highly recommend him as a trainer. Not only did he know how to physically challenge me (all the while keeping in mind my limitations), but he was an excellent listener with good banter. Couldn't recommend Live Well Health & Fitness enough!

But it wasn't just about the weight loss. Matt and the team also played a pivotal role in helping me manage my anxiety. Their holistic approach to wellness ensured that I not only transformed physically but also mentally.The Live Well Fitness team provided encouragement, guidance, and a positive environment that kept me motivated every step of the way.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

The only disappointing thing about this gym is that they wouldn’t relocate interstate for me.Other than that, amazing trainers that create a positive and fun environment. If you’re wanting a lifestyle change but don’t know where to look, Livewell is the perfect place to go

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.

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

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.

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!

I am constantly in awe at the professionalism of Live Well.Not only do they look after your physical side, they also look after your mental health, whether it be through the outgoing nature of the trainers or perhaps the enormously fun sessions they provide.Highly recommended !!!

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.

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🙃💪👍

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 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!

Caitlin Wallace

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!

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.

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!
