Carlson Hizon Fitness

Fantastic experience: I have recently become a member of CHF, and I could not recommend CHF highly enough! The team at CHF make fitness fun and exciting, and everyone is so welcoming and friendly. The environment is motivating and rewarding and the trainers are always encouraging and supportive. I could not recommend CHF enough!

Fantastic experience: CHF is by far the BEST gym/community I have been a part of. All the trainers are wonderful people and they really push you to do your best! The variety of the classes, and intra-class variability keeps things fresh, and you're hard pressed to find yourself doing the same workout twice, which I love. If I hadn't started with the CHF bootcamps or signed on to be a member, I wouldn't have been able to be consistent with my fitness routine, or more importantly, have met the wonderful humans that are part of the team and community. It's not just a gym, it's community and family. Can't wait to get back after COVID!

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Carlson for over 5 years now! From doing 1:1 pt to his Bootcamp Blitz's, I've loved every minute of my sessions. Carlson's patience, professionalism, commitment and enthusiasm is incredible. The space he's created is supportive, feels like family and is comfortable for women of all ages. He's helped me recover from injuries and developed a preventative training program - one of the many areas he specialises in. Carlson's qualifications and experience exceed far beyond his science degree. He's built a team around him that compliment his vision to create a fitness and health centre that's helped an untold number of people achieve their health and fitness goals. Highly recommend Carlson Hizon Fitness to anyone!!!

Fantastic experience: I began training with Carlson and the team at the beginning of 2021 and ever since I began I have never felt more fit or confident in myself! I learnt so much more about fitness and my own health through their training programs, classes and online community. The team are so encouraging and supportive; always pushing me to my limits through their wide variety of classes and other opportunities such as hosting seminars. Overall genuinely amazing gym and everyone is so friendly!

Fantastic experience: This gym is by far amazing. Carlson and his awesome team of trainers have created an excellent environment for your personal health experience, who will push you to your limits. I have been a member for almost 3 years and they have exceeded my expectations in joining a gym.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Carlson for over 10 years, when he first began. During that time Carlson has supported me on an extensive weightloss journey, where I lost 45kg and have since managed to maintain a healthy weight range - despite multiple surgeries and two pregnancies. Even more importantly for me, Carlson has supported my mental health for over a decade. Carlson understands that exercise is more than just your body and he works hard to tailor programs to the individual in a way that best meets their needs. He also designs group sessions and classes that promote an atmosphere of camaraderie and competition, and bring out the best in people. CHF is more than a gym, it’s family and we’d be lost without him.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: I have been apart of the CHF community since the beginning of this year and all I can say is I am so glad I decided to take the jump and start training with Carlson and his team. Going to the gym has now become a part of my daily routine and I have never felt so encouraged, supported and motivated. It is such a welcoming community and I love being apart of it. From starting with classes to now doing PT's with Zara I have been able to become the best version of myself and have been supported along the way. I thoroughly look forward to coming to the CHF gym each day and seeing the faces of our welcoming community who strive in pushing each other to be our best. I'm forever thankful I can be apart of this community!!

Fantastic experience: I don’t call PT sessions with Carlson a work-out, I call them therapy. An hour with Carlson is killer but is the fresh start I need as often as I can. Never enjoyed punching someone more.

Fantastic experience: Batman Approves!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Carlson along with all of his team are an amazingly friendly and fun group of people that are extremely dedicated to helping you reach your fitness goals and keep you motivated along the way. Can’t get enough of the place love going in there always leave in a good mood and feeling sore. HIGHLY recommend Carlson Hizon Fitness in all aspects

Fantastic experience: The most friendly and motivating cultured gym! Since my very first class I have felt welcomed and supported by everyone. All the trainers go above and beyond to ensure they are satisfying your needs and supporting you in trying your best! Highly recommend CHF!!

Fantastic experience: This is not just your ordinary everyday gym, this is a family. You are made to feel comfortable and welcome as soon as you walk in the door, who would have thought going to a gym would be so much fun. I have been trained by Carlson and his team for over 4 years and have seen nothing but results…and injury free at that. I’ve never seen a personal trainer continuously watching and critiquing your movements so that you are engaging the right muscles. Would I recommend Carlson Hizon Fitness, 100% yes.

Fantastic experience: I have known Carlson for a long time but unfortunately wasn't able to join his gym due to where I lived. About 3 years ago we moved and I was able to join the gym. This gym is not like any gym I have ever joined, it provides you with a community of like minded people, a community that supports each other with plenty of laughs along the way. Carlson and his team provide support in your fitness journey by offering multiple ways for you to reach your goals even in these uncertain times. I have to say in all the times I have been going there is not a class that is ever the same. If you are looking for a gym that is about helping you to strive to reach your goals and is not about egos but support and a welcoming and super fun environment then you need to get touch with Carlson and his team.

Fantastic experience: I have been with training with Carlson for a short period of time doing personal training but I have found him to be extremely professional and motivating with every session I have attended and I don’t plan on leaving anytime soon, he made me feel very welcome and made me feel like I had been training with him and his team for years. He truly cares about your fitness goals and takes into account what you are wanting to achieve in your fitness journey and caters every session to do exactly that. I recommend that you don’t look any further than training with him!

Fantastic experience: My first experience with CHF was just tagging along for a friend's pt and instantly got hooked because it felt like I'd already been there for years with how easy it was to feel at home. When I started with CHF in 2019 I had never attempted weight training in my life and had freshly recovered from multiple health issues yet Carlson and all the trainer's helped me step by step. I've trained with Rob in particular making an amazing friend throughout my whole time there and I made simple goals for myself yet I've surpassed those ten fold lifting weights I've never thought would be possible, to the point where I'm happy with everything about myself and was able to play my first season of sport in 7 years from my growth. I would recommend CHF with all their classes, trainer's, info/support and recovery to anyone I can.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member I've been a member of CHF for over 5 years now and I can honestly say it's the best fitness choice I've made in my life. Burned out with the 24/7 gym in the area that treated me like number I joined CHF with the purpose of working on my powerlifting and cutting down my weight. Carlson not only coached me on my technique, but also introduced me to new methods of training through various classes and boot camps. Under his guidance I've dropped 50kg of body fat, completed a Tough Mudder, seen marked improvement in my health, and embraced fitness as a way of life. At CHF its more then a gym, its a a way of life. Carlson and the team all care about our own personal fitness journeys and support a thriving community of online and real world classes, challenges, events, and social gathering. I can't recommend this gym and the trainers enough.

Fantastic experience: Carlson Hizon Fitness is more than a gym, it is a supportive family friendly environment where everyone no matter their ability, age, background or previous injury history is welcome. Carlson and his team go above and beyond to cater their exercise prescription appropriately to all individuals. I have never been to a CHF class that is the same and love the variety. From high intensity interval training, boxing, strength training, lifting technique classes, bootcamps, personal training… CHF has it all! I could not recommend any other fitness facility in the Illawarra more than CHF.

Fantastic experience: Been training with Rob at CHF for 2 years now. I only really had vague ideas of what I wanted to achieve, but he made the whole process easy for me. He helped me understand my body, my fitness, my strength and my self esteem. He's been a great trainer, a great mentor and someone who I would consider a friend. His knowledge of personal training, exercise, physiology is incredible and he uses it all to better his clients. Great work Rob, you're an asset to this industry.

Fantastic experience: Great social hub where the Trainers show a great passion for fitness and the growth of their clients.

Fantastic experience: I love being a part of the CHF family...it’s been 8 years and I keep coming back! We have a great variety of classes, great team environment and trainers that are encouraging and fun. CHF has a really wholistic focus and has allowed me to focus on my strength and fitness as well as my mind!

Fantastic experience: I first started training with CHF after my sister recommended it to me while I was recovering from a spinal surgery. Back when I started, I was extremely unfit with close to zero motivation to ever make that change. After attending 2-3 classes it felt like my personal trainer Rob honestly cared about my progress and personally wanted to see me thrive. After starting CHF in 2019 I had never even been to a gym yet alone attempted any sort of training or weightlifting in my life. In my time training with Rob, he has kickstarted my love for exercise and weightlifting and provided me with experiences I thought I would never come to enjoy. At the start of 2021 I could only bench around 50kg, and my goal was 70kg by August. In May we surpassed my goal to bench 70kg by August and am using Robs program to push to my new 80kg bench goal. Rob has helped me surpass nearly all my set goals and go even further beyond to what even I thought I wasn’t capable of. His training has provided me with a genuine love for fitness as well as driving myself forward as a person. Rob embodies CHF’s amazing atmosphere as well as personalised training that will benefit the lives of those that attend their classes.

Fantastic experience: The community and trainers at CHF are top notch! I had been training here for a few months before Covid lockdown and was really enjoying the training. I can’t wait for it to re-open and get back into it. There are a good variety of classes that are challenging for all levels of fitness. The communication and quality online content has remained constant through lockdown. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: After high school I wanted to become healthier again so I started looking for personal training. I did have other places I could have gone to but having known Carlson through basketball for many years prior to this I thought I’d help out a friends business whilst starting my fitness journey. Safe to say that this was the best decision I could’ve made when it came to my well-being and health. Carlson has never treated me like a source of money but has always treated me like family. Yes sometimes his training was hard but it was never impossible and if it was, let’s say carlson would push me to achieve it anyways. He’s always say something like we never know unless we try dougie. Come on think of that goal. You want to be able to dunk again. And man his words of encouragement got me through every time. Skip 4 years later, even though I have my own fitness regime and know what to do at the gyms, I still have not stopped coming to pt classes.

Fantastic experience: This gym is a great place to go to better yourself and gain an understanding of fitness techniques. I started off going to Rob's PT, where I learnt how to do specific weight lighting techniques. He has shown me how to do deadlift and clean and jerk. He has given me goals to improve and better myself by steps to achieve these goals. He is a great trainer who is always there to help you. He caters to whatever fitness goals I want to achieve. Some days I want to focus on lifting, others on boxing and cardio. Following this and gaining my confidence with Rob PTs, I joined the fitness group sessions. I enjoy the interpersonal and family-like atmosphere of this gym and the group classes that they put on. There is a range of different class options to partake in such as cross-fitness, cardio, stretching, mediation, boxing, lower body and core.

Fantastic experience: I love everything about Carlson Hizon Fitness! I’m so grateful to be part of such an amazing studio. CHF has helped me reach so many of my goals, not only in boxing and overall training but my mental health goals as well. I would not be who I am today without Carlson and the team.

Fantastic experience: This is the ultimate centre of excellence for your health experience. Carlson has everything covered from amazing trainers, exceptional variety of classes and on top of that massage, sauna, yoga and meditation. Personal training sessions push you to achieve a level of training above your wildest expectations. I have been a member for approx 10 years and I don’t think I have had to do the same class twice. Never mundane and always hard work that doesn’t feel like hard work.

Fantastic experience: Carlson Hizon Fitness is such a welcoming gym with a family/community vibe. There are people of all ages and fitness levels that attend there, but everyone is equal. You don’t have the cliquey too cool group that you see in most gyms. I’ve been with Carlson for 9 years now and I couldn’t recommend him more. He genuinely cares for each and every one of clients and improving their quality of life. :)

Fantastic experience: Carlson’s gym is such a great space that made training so enjoyable. He has a great team assembled that helped me smash my fitness goals. 10/10, am a regular now.

Fantastic experience: 100% the most genuine studio with the most wholesome people. If you're tired of the generic 24hr gym and want something that will truely push you to achieve your goals then this is the place. The best part is the support they give you and it's not intimidating at all like some other studios. The best decision I have made for my health.

Fantastic experience: Carlson has been my Personal Trainer for the past 12 months and is the best I’ve ever experienced. His time and dedication towards my own personal goals has helped me surpass what I ever imagined I could achieve. Not only are his 1 on 1 classes great, but also the community around the gym. The group classes and facilities such as the Infrared Sauna are epic and a part of my weekly routine. This gym is for all levels and ages, and with the new space, there is constantly new sections of the gym and different types of classes being added all the time.

Fantastic experience: The GOAT of fitness . By far the best gym I have been to with a highly positive and fun vibe, filled with great people and great staff.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the Illawarra by far. The trainers in this gym are amazing at what they do and will always make you feel welcome. Also the people here are the best kind of people you wanna be around while training and they’re always up for a chat. It’s more than a gym

Fantastic experience: It's coming up to a year now that I have been part of CHF and all I can say is that deciding to try a class was one of my best decisions I've made!! Ever since I joined the CHF community I have never felt so supported or motivated. I have loved every single minute. This gym has not only allowed me to extent my physical skills it has given me a community of people that I look forward to seeing each week. The whole team are so welcoming and just want to push you to see the best in you, in all aspects of your life. So forever thankful !!!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality

Fantastic experience: As a person with a chronic health condition, I used to be really hesitant in terms of trusting a health professional to introduce me to my fitness journey. But from the moment I met Carlson, we have smashed more goals than I could have ever imagined. We have pushed myself beyond the limits I once thought I had, and he’s brought out so much confidence in me that I wouldn’t have found elsewhere. PTs are something I look forward to each week, the class dynamics are so welcoming and small group workouts and so fun. Not to mention this gym is the tidiest and most stylish one I’ve seen! Safe to say I’ll be sticking around for the long run. You can always ensure you will be welcomed with opening arms when walking into Carlson Hizon Fitness

Fantastic experience: Where do I even start! I have been jumping from big business chain gyms for years and CHF cannot compare! CHF offers everything from group classes, PT, drop in sessions to train alone and even recovery sessions in the sauna. Carlson and his team deliver top quality classes where no one class is ever the same keeping you motivated and coming back for more! The CHF team are amazing at bringing everyone together, creating a fun and inclusive community to be a part of. I wouldn’t want to train anywhere else!!

Fantastic experience: CHF is an extremely welcoming and well equipped fitness centre. Carlson and the team are professional and knowledgeable and cater to all levels of fitness. I started as a PT client of Alex’s and as someone who had never been to a gym before, I am now growing my strength and improving my health every week. Alex has personalized my regime to allow for and work on healing my existing injuries. I highly recommend CHF to anyone looking to start their fitness journey, right through to those looking for a serious advanced workout as well.

Fantastic experience: I love being a CHF member because there is a variety of amazing classes and PTs with something to suit everyone. There is always great energy, we have fun and we get to work out in the most awesome gym space. The trainers are all legends too! I would definitely recommend the gym to anyone who wants to experience such a great gym culture.

Fantastic experience: Hands down, best choice I’ve made training at CHF. Carlson and the team are friendly and knowledgeable and go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and help in achieving your goals. There’s great mix of classes, personal training options and recovery. Such a family vibe as soon as you walk through the door - I wouldn’t hesitate recommending CHF to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Amazing! Carlson and his team have created a comfortable environment, and leave no stone unturned to ensure that members feel safe. Classes are very diverse and cater for all fitness levels. CHF have built a great team to support members in achieving fitness goals, as well as promoting and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
