South Yarra Strength

Fantastic experience: Great place and making really good progress. Have seen a bigger difference here than anything in the past. Matt is fantastic, could not speak more highly of him

Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend South Yarra Strength. Kavisha has been my trainer and she has helped me greatly. When I first attended I had been out of the gym for a few years and was nervous and unsure. Kavisha helped to build up my confidence via technique and great coaching. It is a very welcoming space and a great place to work out.

Fantastic experience: Danae and her team were fantastic in drafting my gym routine and putting me on a new diet. Always answered the phone and made me feel like their most important client, strongly recommend

Fantastic experience: Fabulous trainers especially Casey and Danae! Nice environment to train in, clean and good music!

Fantastic experience: Kavisha is a fantastic trainer. I have signed up to many gyms that I never went to because I didn't know what to do or felt uncomfortable but from my first session with Kavisha I knew I was in the right place. Not only have I learned a lot about strength training and made great progress, she also makes every session fun and a great time.

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience and ongoing support from South Yarra Strength! Charles (my trainer) has been putting me through some extremely challenging but rewarding programs since he started training me last year and has been super motivating and supportive in helping me reach my strength and fitness goals. If you're looking for a great PT Gym, look no further! Thanks so much SYS Team!

Fantastic experience: Dimmy is an amazing trainer, highly recommend 5 stars ✨

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Connor, my PT, has helped me to achieve so much

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym and coaches! Took my powerlifting aspirations to the next level. Love this community.

Fantastic experience: Been training with Dimi for a little while now. Lovely trainers and quality equipment. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I've been training at SYS with Connor for a while now, besides him just being an amazing dude, he's helped pushed my strength goals well past where I thought I could get by training on my own.

Fantastic experience: Extremely happy to have joined South Yarra Strength. The space is beautiful and well equipped. Kavisha, my trainer is knowledgeable and patient. Her approach is practical and very encouraging which helped me gain confidence in working out again. The progress she has helped me work on has made my journey sustainable and this has greatly affected my daily/weekly habits, overall improving my physical and mental health.

Fantastic experience: I am so glad I found this place. The space itself is clean and modern and the equipment is top-notch. All of the coaches are knowledgeable and serious about their craft, but are equally friendly and welcoming. I have worked with Aisling for over a year and I appreciate her approach to my programming. She pushes me to work hard and be more confident in my abilities, but also makes adjustments as needed. Working with her and the SYS team, I have made so much progress toward my goals. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a personalised approach to strength training in a supportive environment in South Yarra.

Fantastic experience: Before SYS, I had struggled to maintain a consistent workout routine. I’ve finally found something that works for me with 1:1 PT. Charles is an excellent trainer that strikes the right balance of challenging you, while also understanding your limits. The gym is boutique and a great place to workout, without the chaos of a regular gym. I’m really satisfied and have been going for the past 6+ months now. Thanks SYS!

Fantastic experience: So glad I found SYS! Danae was my first contact and she was very friendly and helpful. She hooked me up with Kavisha and I’ve been training with her since and she is AWESOME! I’ve got zero experience, and from the start she’s been so patient and gives very clear guidance. She also pushes me to my full potential. I’m very happy with my progress so far. It’s truly a personalised program and she’s always checking in about how I’m feeling about the work outs, what I’ll like to focus on more, etc. On top of that, we always have a good laugh during the sessions too so I’m always looking forward to them.

Fantastic experience: Coming up to 2 years training with SYS and I couldn’t speak more highly of the considered approach the trainers take to educate you and help you achieve your goals. As someone who wasn’t very gym equipment literate I have gained a lot of confidence in my strength training and really look forward to my weekly sessions.

Fantastic experience: Sick space, great coaches, fun atmosphere. What’s not to love.

Fantastic experience: Great sessions with Coach Kavisha. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Amazing trainers and personal programming. I underwent a significant surgery last year and SYS have been there all the way from pre-prep to post-op recovery, I could not recommend more.

Fantastic experience: Love the new space! Some great new coaches in the already amazing team. Great vibes

Fantastic experience: Great gym with top notch equipment. Would very much recommend this gym to train at!

Fantastic experience: I love visiting South Yarra Strength whenever I am in Melbourne. Such a friendly and supportive space with all the equipment you could need. The coaches really know their stuff and push you to improve whilst still being mindful of your ability. The Transform program has changed my life. Highly recommend SYS!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. Not only do they have the best personal trainers the gym equipment is all new and fabulous. The owners are very approachable. The trainers all have an excellent understanding of their clients needs and how best to work with them. Highly recommend and definitely wouldn't go anywhere else

Fantastic experience: South yarra strength and the online transform program have been amazing! I’ve changed my eating habits significantly and now understand how to fuel and nourish my body. The program not only took into account what I needed to do to loose weight and build strength but kept me motivated by taking what was going on in my life regarding stress, sleep and mindset. The program wasn’t overwhelming and Casey was fantastic at understanding but encouraging me to keep building on healthy habits.

Fantastic experience: Great facility, great community, great staff. You won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Exceptional experience with the team at SY Strength and my trainer Dylan! Introducing strength training has been a great experience for me with Dylan's guidance and personalised sessions making the journey enjoyable and effective. Feeling noticeable improvements. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful gym that is very friendly and welcoming. Ash is a terrific trainer - always listens and adjusts my workout as needed and is very motivating. I highly recommend this gym. Plus, Sadie!!

Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to improve technique and confidence with strength training. expert advice from friendly staff in a supportive environment. I've been attending for close to three months now and am very happy with the progress I've made!

Fantastic experience: Love training at SYS. Our trainer Lachie is the best in the business, full of knowledge, shows genuine care and passion.

Fantastic experience: Great vibe and very knowledgeable staff. Dylan has been very helpful in starting strength training in a sensible and sustainable way.

Fantastic experience: Started training with Tegan earlier this year and it's been a blast. I really enjoy the small training group and it's been a really non-intimidating way to get back into properly training! Such an awesome gym that I wish I had found sooner! Looking forward to 2023!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility, second to none training and really genuine people. Im currently a member training with Lachie (Coach Kennett) before the start of my basketball season. I come from an athletic background, I’ve been around this environment my whole life and I’ve been impressed! Lachie has tailored the sessions for me around rehabbing and making sure I get the best out of myself in time for my upcoming season. All in all 10/10 training and 10/10 vibe. I was met with open arms since day one, couldn’t recommend a place better.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at SYS for a few months and can recommend it highly. Its a community gym, a safe space to be at your sweatiest, and filled with trainers that are not only experts at what they do, but are also extremely friendly and caring. Casey, my trainer, is a superstar. I always feel motivated, never judged. Couldn't have picked a better gym!

Fantastic experience: Dylan from SY strength has helped me build strength and confidence in my lifting technique. With Dylan’s coaching I’ve been able to set new PRs for my deadlift in a relatively short period of time and reduce my sports injury risk. Thanks to Alan, Danae, Dylan and the team!

Fantastic experience: I've been training here for 3 months now with coach Dylan and have seen huge improvements in my strength, energy levels and physique. With a background in elite sport, I was looking for a strength and conditioning coach to help me maintain my strength and fitness. Dylan has been perfect for exactly that. He is positive and enthusiastic and, you can tell how much he loves helping people achieve their goals. South Yarra Strength has a great community of people and their gym's are always clean and set up to focus on your 1:1 training.

Fantastic experience: Started up with Dylan about 6 weeks ago and it has been great. Was looking for a general strength and functional strength with golf in mind and Dylan has already set me well on the way. Only six weeks in and everything is already feeling a lot better. Will definetly be recommending him to friends. Gym is also great. All the toys and never crowded.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant personal training environment, small well qualified team with great communication and supervision to your training goals.

Fantastic experience: SYS is amazing! Exceptional facility’s and equipment. The best team of trainers and an all-round awesome atmosphere. Thanks so much for helping me towards my fitness goals !!!

Fantastic experience: 2 months of PT has fixed all of my joint and muscle issues. I can now exercise with the same intensity and frequency as I was able to over 2 decades ago. Their program is professionally designed for your specific needs. I highly recommend SYS!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Tegan for around 3 months now and have loved every minute! I had been training at the gym by myself however felt like I had reached a plateau. Since training with Tegan, she has been able to push me past this and put more structure into my training away from SYS as well. I love training in the 3-1 groups. You get the attention of a PT and the added social benefit of a group class! It’s also nice to cheer each other on as we each each our goals and pb’s. Danae and Alan have put together a fab, supportive and quality gym! 100% recommend

Fantastic experience: SYS is a professionally run gym with a fun, local community feel. Danae, Alan and their trainers are all experienced and qualified in physiology and strength training who are able to expertly craft tailored training programs that are set around achieving individual personal goals by working hard, and most importantly, having fun while doing it.

Fantastic experience: Sy fit has helped tremendously! Having injured my shoulders and not working out during lockdowns, they got me back in the gym feeling comfortable and confident as soon as possible. The team and culture is amazing and they have the best receptionists (Sadie and Ziggy) that any gym could have

Fantastic experience: SYS is a fantastic place to train. Trainers are friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and get you performing at your best. Other clients are friendly and encouraging, and there’s always a dog to pat. Highly recommended for anyone starting out, coming back, or looking to step up their training.

Fantastic experience: South Yarra Strength has been a great team to work with. The facilities are top tier and environment is condusive for working out and improving health. The whole team is very welcoming and friendly and our trainer Ash has pushed me to reach strength and fitness goals i have never reached before! Always willing to work around my busy schedule. I would highly recommend joining!

Fantastic experience: Started at SYS after taking substantial time off from the gym. Worked mainly with Ash who helped me build back my foundation of strength to what it was before my break. Great environment for beginner lifters or those who are getting back into the gym and need some proper direction. Being a dog friendly gym is an added bonus. Space is a little small but the equipment layout is done well enough that you are not obstructed when moving throughout the gym. Overall the team at SYS are really beginning to hit their stride and making their mark as a premium PT gym.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! Great facilities. Love the small group and 1 on 1 approach. And the gym dogs are the star attraction. Highly recommend. I've met all the trainers and they are the most authentic friendly genuine people!!! I train with Ash and she's the absolute best (as is her little furry sidekick Ziggy)

Fantastic experience: I have been a client to South Yarra Strength for almost 6 months now, and for me, this has been a great place to start my journey to recovery. As someone, who literally went back to training after n number of years, it was so important to find comfort and the best vibes around me for my sessions. It can get incredibly challenging and uncomfortable when you don't have the right support to push yourself through recovery and at first, anything new is tough. With SYS(South Yarra Strength) i have had an incredible support through my trainer Tegan who focuses on my individual needs for my recovery. The trainers here are friendly and supportive. They are approachable and flexible for their clients. When i walk out of my sessions, i feel the best about myself. I know that i am ready for the day. It took a while to develop consistency but now i find it odd when i don't go there because it's my place of zen. I would highly recommend this place to you.

Fantastic experience: South Yarra Strength is the first gym I’ve ever truly felt comfortable in. The supportive team and inclusive atmosphere Danae, Alan & Sadie have created is truly unique in a gym. Having never actually enjoyed or stuck with workout programs before I have been at SYS for 6 months and the strength and confidence I’ve gained has been far reaching across all aspects of my life. If you’re unsure about gyms or just want to challenge yourself in a supportive fun environment South Yarra strength is the perfect place.

Fantastic experience: South Yarra Strength is a great PT gym! The facilities are exceptional and clean. The staff all make you feel welcome and have great attitude. My partner and I have been training with Ash for the last 2 months and she has been great! She tailored our workouts to meet our goals and exisiting injuries - she has assisted us in correcting our form and getting stronger! 10/10 would recommend

Fantastic experience: Love training here with Tegan. Great new gym set up and lovely people.

Fantastic experience: New to SYS and loving it!

Fantastic experience: I loved working out here, great vibes, beautiful studio and Tegan was very patient and attentive to details <3

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this place. Fantastic facility and environment.. and very well run by Alan and Danae. My trainer Ash is excellent.. have been training with Ash now for about 5 months and my physical conditioning and strength have improved greatly. Very good training sessions and enjoyable too. Genuinely look forward to training each week.

Fantastic experience: I've trained at several PT studio gyms, and SY Strength is by far the best. Danae, Alan and their team are not only great trainers but great people, I would highly recommend to anyone no matter their age or gym experience.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Danae now for a few months, she is absolutely brilliant! So much knowledge, professional and has awesome knack to motivate you. Every session is the perfect mix of hard work, fun and laughter. LOVE IT!

Fantastic experience: We have only positive things to say about SY strength. The crew are attentive, enthusiastic to see progression, and genuinely nice people to be around. The atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable and suits both folks who want to get in their own headspace or have a bit of a laugh as they get through the session. The new dogs are a massive step up, plenty of room to move freely and not be waiting for equipment. We train as a couple and have ever changing work schedules, but usually Danae or Al are able to arrange timing that works for us all. Big thumbs up from us.

Fantastic experience: I started training with Alan during lockdown and have thoroughly enjoyed my introduction to South Yarra Strength. Alan and Danae host a friendly, supportive environment which has helped me to get my strength training on track. Coming from a group fitness background and carrying some injuries, I couldn’t have had a better experience and have loved every minute of my training since joining SYS!

Fantastic experience: I started training with Ash in late 2020 after trying a number of other studios nearby, it was such a relief to find someone who was as motivating, welcoming, nice and knowledgeable as Ash. She truly is a fantastic trainer - pushes my boundaries, cares about technique and ensures I am sticking to my goals. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to kick start their gym and nutrition regime - without a doubt she is one of the best in the business.

Fantastic experience: As a newbie to the world of Personal Training I could not have asked for a better trainer! Ash is motivating, professional and incredibly knowledgeable. I’ve always been afraid of looking out of place at the gym but Ash has removed that fear and instead turned it into confidence. I genuinely look forward to my sessions with Ash, they’re challenging and full of laughs too. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone!!

Fantastic experience: For years I had thought about having a Personal Trainer (PT) but was put off by the big gym corporations and high prices. South Yarra Strength is simply exceptional. Danae and Alan have built a PT studio with fantastic facilities, experienced coaches and a challenging program that is tailored to you and your goals; and commercially affordable. South Yarra Strength is a great community feel that makes it enjoyable the second you step in to your session; and you’ll see the results!

Fantastic experience: South Yarra Strength is amazing! My partner and I train with Ash, who is great. We were looking for a studio and trainer who could train both of us with opposite experience levels. My partners never worked out, while I have. Ash trains us at the same time with different programs. She focuses on improving our technique and makes sure we are both achieving our desired goals. Ash has made my partner committed to working out!! We really enjoy it and the new gym is beautiful

Fantastic experience: Danae and Al have built a beautiful gym and community in the heart of South Yarra. I have been training with Ash as part of the 3:1 sessions for a few months and I have really enjoyed the work we have done together. She absolutely knows her stuff and progressively makes the workouts harder so results are inevitable. I would recommend South Yarra Strength to anyone wanting to join a small gym that focuses on creating a lovely community as well as building muscles and wellbeing.

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a high quality, tailored, no BS and results focused Gym/PT. I recommend Danae & Al! I have never been confident in the gym and never stuck to any programs that I’ve found before. I tried the other types of class based gyms in my area and felt uncomfortable and just another number. So I decided to try something different and invest in proper training…and I’m so glad it did! Danae has given me a new found confidence in the gym, motivated me to stick at it, encouraged me the whole way and I’ve had a complete body transformation all within 6 months! They provide a safe space for all people, it’s welcoming, and has a really great vibe to be around! Sadie is an added bonus! Thanks team!

Fantastic experience: I love training with SY Strength. The duo team are great and I really like working with them to shelve my goals.

Fantastic experience: Have been training here for years, I have lots of old sports injuries that make it hard to train but Alan is able to keep me on track through them all and continually progressing toward my goals. This place is miles ahead of the competition, highly recommend for all levels of fitness.

Fantastic experience: Finding Alan and Danae is the best part of my move to Melbourne - Alan challenges me while supporting my goals for myself. I have gotten much stronger and tighter from our sessions, my back and neck pain have disappeared, and my confidence has grown.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Danae and Al for almost a year now and find both of them incredibly knowledgeable and helpful with my personalised fitness plan and goals. It’s a pleasure training with them each week because they’re loads of fun and they also push me to keep going (even when I don’t think I can possibly do another chin up). I continue to get great advice and amazing results from their programs and highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: Danae and Al create a fun environment for building strength. They clearly have years of experience not only with building strength, but also in other areas like nutrition and wellbeing. Even if you've got a gym membership, having a program from South Yarra Strength that supplements that is a great way to go as well. My partner and I haven't looked back since working with Danae.

Fantastic experience: Moved to the area about 6 months ago from the Mornington Peninsula and found SY Strength online. My dad and I tried it out and we haven’t looked back! Danae and Alan are amazing supports and have taught us the importance of using the correct techniques to perform exercises. Our endurance and strength have dramatically changed since training at South Yarra Strength twice a week for the past 6 months and we don’t dread going to the gym anymore because there are always different exercises for us to do so it’s making us constantly think about technique, breathing, strength etc. Both trainers listen to our individual needs and aspirations whilst pushing us out of our comfort zones - we love it!

Fantastic experience: Love training with Danae - absolutely full of holistic knowledge (not just the physical) I personally love the way she breaks down technique - understandable, relatable and you feel it, when you start to do it right! Being 'relatively fit' is one thing, but there is an efficiency in making specific parts of the body work harder and better - if strength training is what you're after, I would highly recommend Danae for results and SYS for their genuine commitment to fitness + wellbeing! She's an absolute gem and makes every session enjoyable!! Once restrictions ease, look forward to spending time in their beautiful studio!!

Fantastic experience: I'm happy to have found a trainer that listens to my personal goals and adjust training where needed. As a physio myself I really like Danea's approach to controlled movement and technique. She knows how to push me and makes every session fun while I'm getting my sweat on. A great studio with a very friendly atmosphere between trainers and all the clients.

Fantastic experience: Danae is an exceptional trainer. Her extensive knowledge and emphasis on correct technique hones the mind-body connection, ensuring you will continue to learn about your strengths, capabilities and potential at every visit. No two sessions, whether strengths training or Pilates, are ever the same. Danae’s holistic approach to physical health and enduring passion to help others, keep me coming back for more.

Fantastic experience: Danae is great! She is very knowledgeable, goal orientated and focused and I feel like I am in great hands when I train with her. She is also a joy to be around and creates a great atmosphere

Fantastic experience: 5/5 experience with SYS. Thanks Danae for your professional yet friendly approach to health and fitness! An educational approach that’s also comforting and suitable for your individual goals/style. Looking forward to continue training with SYS.

Fantastic experience: I have never been more impressed with a personal trainer in my life! Danae knew exactly what exercises I needed to help build strength in my body with a personalised routine! Not only that but I never feel like I am doing a chore, gym is finally fun! I enjoy going so much, the atmosphere they’ve created is one where I feel safe and welcomed. Since coming here the idea of gym has gone from being about fitness to forming a lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: My partner and I train with Alan - he is highly qualified and as a result has an incredible understanding of all aspects of physiology, strength and nutrition. He knows exactly how to push you to achieve your goals and most importantly of all makes every session fun, even after a long day at work:) Nothing is ever too much hassle for him and he works hard to get the most out of every minute of your session. I can’t recommenced Alan and the team at SYS enough!

Fantastic experience: Danae is an absolute dynamo - incredibly knowledgeable, attentive to every detail, warm and supportive, and able to tailor sessions to all abilities. She's not afraid to push you, but also knows how to grade your sessions so that you progress safely and build your way up from a solid foundation. I've loved and learnt so much from my sessions with Danae - it's been worth every cent!!! I couldn't sing higher praises for Danae and SYS - the team truly know the art of building strong bodies from the ground up. Thank you so much Danae for everything so far xx

Fantastic experience: Danae & Alan have created a friendly, fun & challenging atmosphere to train in. Having trained with Danae for a number of years her knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail are second to none, creating programs suited to achieving goals, bettering my overall lifestyle, health and mindset. Alan & Danae genuinely care about each of their clients and are an absolute joy to work with! Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I came to South Yarra Strength with previous strength and fitness training, however, I wasn't getting the results and felt like I needed something more tailored to my needs. And boy do they know their stuff! Clearly passionate about strength and fitness, Danae tailored a targeted program for me that identified previous injuries, my goals and journey. Not to mention great chats, laughs and beats - my whole outlook on training has changed and I enjoy seeing my progress and transformation over each 4 week program; each week leaving sweaty with a great glute burn :) I'm sure glad I made the change!
