Core Principles Personal Trainer Melbourne

Fantastic experience: Very happy with the professionalism and care shown by Gene and his team of trainers (particularly Jowee)! They can also link up with my local osteopath. A real bonus for the community!

Fantastic experience: Core Principles offers a really great semi-private personal training service. The trainers are very professional and friendly and the classes are both challenging and fun. I’ve been struggling to put in place a consistent gym routine when training on my own but having the support of the trainers and the small group class structure has changed the way I approach training and I now look forward to working out! I’ve noticed a big difference in my fitness level and I’m feeling great. Thanks Gene and the Core Principles team!

Fantastic experience: I've only just 1 month in on my journey with CP. At 61 had never walked into a gym before & signed up re pre hip surgery muscle strengthening. Already I have the power in my legs of 2 years ago. I'm a healthcare professional and a realist, but I've postponed the surgery for now & interested to see where this journey takes me. Gene & his team strike the perfect balance of being friendly yet professional and their genuine focus and care for the outcome of clients shines through- thanks guys.

Fantastic experience: Best thing about Core Principles is the really personal care that all the trainers encompass. Having been a member for 5 years the team feel like family, most of then I actually see more often than family ( when face to face was possible). Probably the very best thing of all is I now enjoy training and keeping fit which was never before a priority for me. Thanks everyone.

Fantastic experience: Friendly & supportive staff. The benefits are visible.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at Core Principles since 2015. Gene only hires the best and most knowledgeable trainers who have kept me and my husband fit and healthy since then. Small and varied classes, a strong client focus, and personalised friendly service have meant that we are motivated to always fit a daily challenging workout into our busy schedules!

Fantastic experience: I find all the trainers very professional friendly and enjoy attending my sessions

Fantastic experience: Core principles is a fantastic place to train. Staff are probably the best trainers I have come across. They put together enjoyable and challenging workouts. The best thing thing is the small class sizes, which allows the trainers to be super focused on each of us. Great environment

Fantastic experience: I have NEVER been a gym person ... until finding Core Principles - Gene, Mitch and the crew are the best! So friendly and welcoming - also great at what they do of course! Feel like I'm getting stronger and healthier but, with their knowledge and guidance, with no risk of injury.

Fantastic experience: Excellent. So good to experience such helpful and professional personal training. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere (but be prepared to work hard!). Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Being a mature age woman I decided that I needed to focus on bone density and general strength and balance. I approached Core Principles and was introduced to Gene who understood my needs and created a personalised program for me to attain my goals. I have found Ryan to be a wonderful trainer - he is professional, he keeps me motivated, he has introduced my exercises “kindly” and is very friendly. We have a good laugh too! My 45 minutes flies by! I am very happy I found this little gem of a gym. Carol

Fantastic experience: Love the group fitness classes!

Fantastic experience: My doctor had been telling me to lose weight for years. I'd been overweight since childhood. It hasn't been a quick journey. I was stubborn, reluctant and ready to quit more than once. Gene has stuck by me and been a great support. In my time with Core Principles I've lost 30kg, I'm off all medication and I'm in the best physical condition of my life.

Fantastic experience: I started training at Core Principles 4 months ago after many years of neglecting my fitness. Gene spent the time to design an appropriate training plan, understanding my history, and the results have been great. Most importantly, Gene and the team foster a welcoming and encouraging environment, pushing you to work at your best with a smile (mostly) on your face!

Fantastic experience: I have really enjoyed my sessions at Core Principles. The personal training is excellent. The trainers appear to be very knowledgeable and very professional. Each exercise is carefully explained including its purpose. The trainers take care to ensure that you are undertaking exercises correctly so that you get the intended benefit and at the same time avoid injury.

Fantastic experience: I would like to thank Gene and the team at Core Principles for making me feel welcome and helping me in my fitness journey. I highly recommend Core Principles for all you fitness needs, it’s changed my life! Feeling pumped!

Fantastic experience: I chose Core Principles group fitness training as I thought it had a wide range and good mix of classes and offered the best value in what I was looking for. Fair to say it turned out to be a really good decision as the training is really of high level, and moreover I have become more consistent in my training by attending the weekly scheduled classes. The team is really welcoming and supportive, and challenges to do our best.

Fantastic experience: I looked at a number of gyms in the area and selected Core Principles because it was welcoming and unpretentious. After being a member for only a short time and coming regularly I can really feel the change in me. I’m sleeping better and feel good about myself. The group training at Core Principles are effective and varied and I’m enjoying them heaps. I highly recommend Core Principles especially for mature people who are trying to maintain good health and need the discipline of a regular class to come to.

Fantastic experience: My whole family has been going to this gym for about a year and to say it’s utterly phenomenal would be an understatement. Not only is the range of equipment absolutely impeccable but the staff are not only friendly but incredibly helpful. I’m lucky enough to have a personal trainer - Ben - who is very knowledgeable, encouraging and talented in helping my achieve my own fitness goals. I however come from a family where we all cover each others’ sessions so I have trained with every other trainer in the gym and can say they are all of the utmost quality and you’d be lucky to have any of them. Ultimately, the gym is absolutely fantastic and will definitely assist you in reaching your fitness goals whatever they may be... COULD JOT RECOMMEND IT MORE!

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend Core enough if you are looking to improve your fitness!

Fantastic experience: I came here five years ago doing twice a week and I’m still here thanks to a very happy and friendly venue, trainers & trainees. Physical fitness is a gift you can give yourself.

Fantastic experience: Core principles is the centre of fitness excellence in Ivanhoe. When I made my first tentative contact with Core Principles I was made to feel welcomed by Gene, who carefully listened to me and thoughtfully arranged my fitness program. It is a clean and modern facility where change and upgrades of equipment occur frequently. The trainers are friendly and motivating and keep the program fresh. I, and now my daughter, feel fitter, stronger and better able to cope with the challenges of daily life and the rigours of weekend activities due to our Core Principles membership. Thanks team!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I currently members, doing joint PT sessions & gym membership. We love the sessions, feel challenged & have a laugh while doing it. Couldn’t recommend the staff highly enough, along with the friendly feel of the gym. It’s a great feeling to look forward to going to the gym.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Core Principals for around 2 months now. The Team here are so friendly and welcoming, not once have I felt self conscious or uncomfortable.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Sharnalee now for 3 weeks. Already my arms are more defined , my butt is lifting, my posture has improved and best of all I have some room back in my clothes! I've trained with PTs in the past but I've never experienced rapid results like these. Sharnalee identified what I was most frustrated about and we've got straight to work concentrating on those key areas. I thoroughly enjoy my sessions with Sharnalee because she's also a lovely person! Her background in competitive body sculpting gives her that edge. She knows from experience what works and what doesn't.

Fantastic experience: Great staff and team, always motivating and supportive! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Amazing team with fantastic support for members. Motivating me all the way

Fantastic experience: A motivating environment - very helpful to keep engaged and active.

Fantastic experience: I'm a few months into working with Anthony and I am really pleased with the supportive, team based approach from Core Principles. Anthony is a fantastic Personal Trainer, he supports me to go that one step further at each training session and I've already seen great results. Everyone at the Core Principles studio (trainers and clients) are friendly and welcoming and it really helps being a part of a supportive fitness community. I appreciate that the uncertainty of COVID-19 restrictions is challenging however, I would truly encourage people to consider online personal training sessions during lockdowns. I know it's not the same as being in the studio but honestly, I'm still making positive progress with home workouts and it's genuinely helpful for mental health and well being. Plus, I'm fairly sure Gene is looking at a pet range in Core Principles workout gear, hehe! I have a way to go on with regard to my goals and I'm confident I will reach them, in no small part to the Core Principles team.

Fantastic experience: Great place.

Fantastic experience: Great Place to train, very professional staff

Fantastic experience: The trainers are great and they very knowledgeable. If you want results, definitely go!

Fantastic experience: If you've been thinking about joining a gym but aren't feeling all that confident (we've all been there) Core Principles is definitely the gym for you.

The values of you and your team shone through - focus on what people need and want, communicate, and be supportive. Thank you. Judy

Fantastic experience: The team at Core Principles do an amazing job at keeping their clients motivated. They have online virtual group classes 5 mornings and 2 afternoons each week, online virtual PT sessions and online exercise programs that you can access whenever convenient. They also provide online nutritional advice, physiotherapy advice and cooking classes. Thank you Core Principles for keeping us motivated and on track until we can get back to the gym when it opens again. Trixie
