Coogee Gym Innervate

Fantastic experience: Lisa is super knowledgeable and really cares about everyone at Innervate! She helped me rehab two injuries and I'm back to enjoying running, swimming and playing tennis.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym - group training with a personal training approach. Lisa Brown treats all clients with the highest level of care and attention.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Innervate for almost a year now and Lisa is such an amazing trainer. It is the most consistent I have ever att3nded a gym, and I genuinely look forward to going. It's not like any other gym, and Lisa is an expert at what she does. She accommodates your needs and works with you to progress your goals. Lisa has created a wonderful inclusive community. Since attending I've build significant strength, I've reached personal bests, improved my posture, made so much progress on a knee i injury and made friends. Couldn't recommend Lisa and Innervate enough.

Fantastic experience: I'm in my 60's and was letting the decay take hold. Joining Coogee Gym Innervate has been the best thing I could of done. Lisa has been fantastic, tailoring my sessions around a few medical issues. I've got my strength back (plus some!) and a new lease on life. 100% worth it.

Fantastic experience: Lisa has supported me from a complete novice (who couldn’t even squat) to feeling strong and fit, training through my third pregnancy up to 3 days before my son’s birth. She is dedicated and caring, I am grateful for her investment in me. I look forward to continuing to push myself to be stronger!

Fantastic experience: If you love anonymous and overcrowded classes where someone yells at you - don't come here. This gym is a revelation. Personalised training, but in a great group of really nice people. I trained with people of all backgrounds ages and abilities and it was seamless. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I hate gyms (too loud, too smelly, too many people glancing at their reflections in the ever-present mirrors) but this one is not your "normal" gym... Lisa's gym is a completely different universe! Lisa is highly qualified, pays attention to each one of us, keeps us on our toes and somehow manages to make our sessions fun (if someone would have told me a year ago that one day I would classify gym sessions as "fun", I would have never believed that person!). I love the classes and I especially love the community. Lisa is very passionate, really cares and creates an environment that is warm, welcoming and supportive. I definitely feel better in my body since I joined; I am more agile and I have more energy. I cannot recommend Lisa and her classes highly enough <3.

Fantastic experience: My whole life I have been a member of a large gym franchise. Nearly 12 months ago I had surgery on my leg/knee followed by months of physio, and I was recommended to try Lisa Brown @ Innervate. This was life changing for me. Lisa's knowledge and understanding of our bodies and how to train is extensive. The most significant thing for me is that Lisa constantly checks our technique in order to avoid injury and to push myself in a safe environment. The small classes mean that every person experiences her personalised attention. Get on the blower & give her call!!!

Fantastic experience: I decided to join Lisa at innervate because i felt I needed to add weights to my exercise program. I love my training program because I get such individual help and encouragement and I train with wonderful like minded people of different ages. Lisa makes such an effort to keep it disciplined and yet fun. I always look forward to my workout it’s great for mind and body.

Fantastic experience: Lisa’s attention to detail and discipline around form is second to none. She is qualified in the McGill method and incredibly knowledgeable about training methodology and anatomy and physiology. She cares deeply about her clients and gives individual attention and adjustments in her group classes. I felt completely safe when training with her knowing I wouldn’t get injured. Her weekly emails and online videos are so helpful in gaining an understanding of her programming. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend Lisa and her classes more! She truly cares about each individual she trains and creates a motivating and safe environment to learn and challenge oneself. Lisa knows each individual’s unique background and goals and she adjusts all exercises accordingly. I have been training with Lisa for 9 weeks now and feel stronger, more confident in strength training, and my chronic pain has decreased.

Fantastic experience: Lisa is incredible and I highly recommend Coogee gym. I started my journey with Lisa as a demotivated irregular gym goer. I was forcing myself to exercise and rarely going. Lisa’s program not only brought the enjoyment back to exercise, but it has also forced me to be reliable and consistent for the first time in years. The program offers variety and everything you would want to do within the week. Not to mention, Lisa is great with injuries and is understanding of personal circumstances. If you are looking for a gym that isn’t pretentious and will give you a sense of community, you will find it here.

Fantastic experience: Coogee Gym and Lisa are fabulous. I've been a member for just one year, but have seen a huge change in my strength, and health. Lisa's dedication to taking beginners strength trainer clients (like me) to a point where I feel confident to lift/squat and continue to improve my strength, is second to none. I thoroughly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I sought out Lisa as I knew she had specific training for back pain and I knew I needed to do weight bearing exercise but didn't want to hurt myself as I had a history of injury at gyms. The initial consultation was extensive, Lisa was very professional and knowledgable in her diagnosis and plan to move forward engaging the McGill method. It took about 4- 5 weeks before I was able to move my body the way I needed to to get out of pain and a lot of retraining of my brain as well as body. But I diligently did the exercises as prescribed by Lisa to engage core muscles and slowly over time I am able to keep up with the other gym participants. Lisa is a no nonsense trainer, she is passionate about her work and helping those who choose to join her gym. I can't imagine getting the results I have if I'd just joined any other gym. Highly recommend, particularly if you have back pain but also if you don't know where to start as she teaches you very strong foundations to avoid injury.

Fantastic experience: Sessions at Innervate are often highlights of my week. Lisa is a fantastic trainer with a fire in her belly for every client. She is passionate about form and technique and she moderates every movement to ensure everyone safely gets the maximum benefit. The gym is a fun welcoming environment and I always feel good afterwards. Thank you Lisa for everything you do for us.

Fantastic experience: Easiest 5 star review I've given. Now been attending Coogee Gym Innervate for over a year so it seems a good time to leave a bit of feedback. Turned up with a slouched posture, hip and lower back pain and imbalances of strength throughout my body. All those issues have almost been obliterated. I've still got work to do but that's just down to my consistency on attending and working through Lisa's awesome programs. Apart from being a top Northerner (UK), she really knows her stuff, i'm much stronger and effective with work (cameraman) and feeling fitter in general. Lisa and her team of legends are setting the standards for strength/fitness training throughout the Coogee area, I've already referred multiple people. Many thanks for all your help.

Fantastic experience: I have known Lisa for over ten years. She has trained myself and my wife. She is knowledgeable, approachable, caring and a brilliant trainer. I have personally seen amazing results. But, most impressively is seeing her help people with serious back issues and change their lives. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Having played rugby for years, had multiple surgeries, and having a number of health issues I needed a trainer who was sensible, experienced and knowledgeable. Luckily for me I found that in Lisa at Coogee Innervate. She challenges me and pushes me out of my comfort zone, but always in a way that is safe and puts my needs first, not her ego. Lisa has the capability and competence to modify, adjust or completely change each session based on the needs of my body on that particular day. I cannot thank her enough for helping me to be able to function and move as the best possible me. In case you haven't worked it out yet, she is good.

Fantastic experience: I felt compelled to write this review as Lisa’s program has had such a positive impact on my strength, endurance and mobility. I love this gym as Lisa takes the time each class to review my technique ensuring I’m maximising every workout & I don’t get injured. Lisa’s enthusiasm for life is contagious and this is evident in the program she has designed - her workouts are thoughtful and challenging but they are also welcoming and fun (even the hill sprints!). Lisa has created a fantastic fitness community & I couldn’t recommend Innervate more highly.

Fantastic experience: I am so glad I have found Lisa at Coogee Gym Innervate. I explained to Lisa that I have a lifetime condition that impacts my strength and movement, Lisa took the time to understand my specific needs and requirements before starting a tailor made exercise regime. Thanks to Lisa’s ongoing management of my training and making adjustments I have become significantly stronger and more active. I am so incredibly thankful to Lisa for her dedication to my fitness journey and look forward to future fitness gains!

Fantastic experience: I have started at Lisa’s gym about 3 months. I had never done strength training before. The start was challenging as my body was not used to that intensity, and Lisa really took the time to teach me how to pace myself so I get the maximum benefit without going overboard. She has been very attentive in making sure I learn the right techniques for specific exercises such as deadlift, squat, etc so I felt very safe in her hands. She also gave me homework for my specific issue (tight shoulders). My group is super friendly and welcoming and we encourage each other a lot. Lisa is such a powerhouse of contagious enthusiasm that pushes you to give your best every time. It can feel challenging to go to the gym after a tough day at work but I never regretted it once. It is a wonderful stress reliever that washes out the frustrations of the day. My chronic neck pains are gone and my back feels much stronger. My arm muscles are more toned. And it’s just the beginning!!!

Fantastic experience: Simply put, Lisa has changed my life. I joined Coogee Gym through a friend’s recommendation and it’s one of the best decisions I made. I have a lifelong medical condition that affects my left leg and back, and also have a severe limp. Because of Lisa’s knowledge, passion for helping people and her careful guidance in every session, she’s given me hope and confidence that I never thought was possible. I’m the most strong and stable (when walking) I have ever been in my life. Lisa’s gym is my new happy place and the community she has built is supportive, kind and full of amazing people from all different walks of life. I’ll never be able to thank you enough, Lisa!

Negative experience: Lisa Brown is an reputational liability to Coogee Gym and Professor Stuart MgGill. A very aggressive and rude person who misrepresent the role of physiotherapists in treating people with serious back injuries. I approached Lisa to have the McGill Assessment and explained my health situation to her via email. I am a very fit person and had an painful acute and debilitating sciatica episode 3 weeks ago, weakening my left leg and was in hospital followed by an epidural which made me stand up and walk again. She firstly seemed offended because I could not find the time slots to talk to her on the phone when she wanted. She wanted to discuss it 'quickly' but I did not think it would be productive to address it in 1 minute. I had my first physio appointment and work commitments at the same time. I was waiting for her call next day. Lisa instead texted me and seemed insulted because I was seeing a physiotherapist and told me to 'go with it' instead and that 'she was too busy to see me', and that 'her services were the same as a physio' and told me 'good luck with your leg'. Lisa is a PT not a physiotherapist. I told her from the start I wanted to do the assessment and go back to the gym safely with a PT's guidance hence I looked for her and also needed to comply with doctors directions to see a physio at least once a month. Very sad to see how rude and unhelpful she was. I was never rude to her. I was very surprised by her aggressive, bossy and dismissive text response. She never called me back to discuss my issue and the assessment, instead replied with that disappointing dismissive text. I called her out on that tone and she replied 'I'm insulted'. I also work in the services industry. If I was to treat my clients that way, there would be no business. Lisa needs to regulate her aggression and ego. I wished her well in her endeavours. xx

Fantastic experience: Joining Innervate is one of the best decisions I have made in recent times. Lisa and the team are so caring and motivating, and the community is full of real people working towards their own goals at their own pace. Lisa is very supportive and so knowledgeable, and perhaps most importantly, makes me laugh every session! I'm so excited to continue my journey with her. Innervate doesn't feel like a gym, it feels like a safe space for me to grow and challenge myself.

Fantastic experience: I cannot thank Lisa enough for her training and guidance for the past 3 months. I feel the strongest and most agile I have ever been. Coming from a fitness background, I appreciate the care, expertise and effort put into every training programme Lisa develops, as well as her emphasis on technique and her prompts during session. Each program is uniquely designed, challenging, fun and has delivered excellent results for my body composition and overall strength. I don’t get back pain anymore, my posture has improved and I feel confident when travelling and adventuring outdoors. Her encouragement, motivation and immense knowledge in the field of health and wellness has brought together a beautiful community in Coogee. Being apart of this community is the absolute highlight of my week! Couldn’t recommend highly enough for those wanting to improve their life for the better!

Fantastic experience: Been going to this gym for the last 6 months and it’s been fantastic. I love the people, the mindset and the results !

Fantastic experience: Lisa has created a very special gym. She fills each session with her years of experience, passion for training, authenticity and thoughtfulness for everyone in class. She is pure sunshine and has helped me feel stronger!

Fantastic experience: Lisa is an expert in her field, her workout programs are carefully considered and she takes great care to accommodate the different needs of her clients. Coogee Gym Innervate is a happy and safe place to train. Great music too.

Fantastic experience: I have been part of this gym since the beginning of June this year, and I have seen great progress in my strength. Lisa is fantastic and takes your goals into consideration when giving you exercises to do. If you feel you can’t do a certain exercise, there will be plenty of other options tailored to suit you. There’s no judgement at this gym, everyone is really friendly and supportive!

Fantastic experience: Lisa is a really great trainer, and has the knowledge to understand and adjust to any injuries you carry, the experience to tell you when your technique is incorrect and she has the banter/personality to push you through those early morning sessions. I’ve only been training with the 7am crew for a couple of Months but really enjoying the training blocks and trusting the process put in place. Put in the work in the group training and take time to focus on the bonus training content offered by Lisa and you’l be smashing your goals in no time!!

Fantastic experience: I have never really enjoyed working out and have always found myself flitting between different classes and different gyms lacking motivation not finding the right thing for me but I have found it with Lisa and Coogee Gym Innervate! Lisa is brilliant and she really knows her stuff. She really cares about all her clients and gets to know each of our individual needs and goals. The group classes are fun but focused. I feel more confident and stronger about my fitness and it’s all down to Lisa's expertise and guidance. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Lisa is an incredible trainer and it is clear she brings a wealth of knowledge and years of expertise to every single session. From day one she figured out where my body needed particular attention (for me, my lower back) and she is fastidious about ensuring everyone trains safely. I only joined in January but I already feel stronger, more confident and have a renewed focus on where I went to go with my training. Life changing!!

Fantastic experience: Lisa's extensive experience and consideration to strength development and injury prevention combined with her authentic positive attitude to fitness in her motivational training has changed my life, I am stronger and fitter, my posture has improved as a result of Lisa's expertise and I really enjoy training with the people she attracts to her class. It's a pleasure to be part of such a wonderful community.

Fantastic experience: Lisa is a fantastic and passionate trainer who has created a very streamlined fitness program to help people at various ages and stages of their training lives achieve their goals. The amazing bit is how she is able to pay personal attention to each person in our little community while running a very fast paced and intense session. She is very knowledgeable about musculoskeletal physiology and biomechanics, and is passionate about helping people overcome injuries and obstacles in their fitness journeys.

Fantastic experience: The classes are very professional, on time, and cater for individual needs for maximum benefit. Lisa's incredible knowledge and experience ensure the exercises are right for you. It's the complete training package, I'm over 45 and loving it.

Fantastic experience: I regularly walked past Innervate Gym at Coogee and thought, this gym ticks all my boxes - strength, intervals and yoga - I must join. Finally instead of walking past I walked in and it was one of the best decisions I have made. Lisa really knows her stuff, and even though I have multiple previous injuries / limitations, Lisa just takes this in her stride and modifies the exercises to meet me and my body - it is not a one size fits all approach, it is a what works for you and your body. A great, friendly gym with personalised service. I cannot recommend this gym highly enough. Don't be like me and walk past, walk in - you won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: Lisa is an expert in both strength training and human understanding. I think of her as my coach and not just my PT. She has a wonderful energy that drives you towards those gains. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: What a great find! Possibly the best gym environment I have ever been in. Lisa is a great trainer that motivates and encourages you to challenge yourself each and every week. I thoroughly enjoy going.

Fantastic experience: Lisa is an absolute oracle on all things fitness and an all-round incredible human. She focuses on helping you feel strong and healthy which has such a positive effect on all other parts of life. I have trained with Lisa for about 6 months now and it has been the best thing that I’ve done for myself and the most consistent I have been with fitness in my whole life! I was so intimidated by working out, but I have learned so much and feel so much more confident in the gym. The community is beautiful and classes are always challenging, fun and fly by so quickly - genuinely they are my favourite part of the week now! The yoga and big bang sessions with Jo and Lulu are also fantastic. I have a hard time explaining to people how much I enjoy this gym because it really is so perfect!

Fantastic experience: Lisa is the best trainer ever - combining serious technical chops and a truly personal approach, delivered with sass and character. She is the whole 360 degree package, empathetic and motivating - she's done amazing things for my physical and mental health.

Fantastic experience: Lisa is an extremely knowledgeable, passionate, energetic and compassionate trainer who has built a wonderful community that feels like home away from home. I have been training with injury and have made more progress than I could have hoped through working with Lisa and her in-depth knowledge of the body and movement. I'd highly recommend working with Lisa to anyone who wants to build strength and work towards a life without injury and pain.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Lisa for the past few months. after a long history of lower and upper back injuries, and a long break with no exercise at all. Not only Lisa caters for everyone needs within the training group, but her knowledge and expertise in the human body allows her to guide you gradually in order to regain confidence and strength. Lisa is energetic and deeply cares, she knows when to push and when to pull back, and always bring a great and positive energy. I trust her completely to help me and others progress at the right pace and safely and I am so very grateful to have joined the Coogee Gym, i havent felt this healthy and strong in years!

Fantastic experience: Lisa has created such a welcoming, fun and inclusive environment in her gym. I was completely new to this type of training, but within weeks I was feeling confident and stronger - all down to Lisa's expertise and guidance. Love the diversity of training on offer, would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I had pretty much lost all motivation to exercise, felt sluggish, tired, creaky and old. I had only ever done high intensity workouts, which left me burnt out and carrying injury. Lisa has an attention to detail, catering to everyone’s age, ability and body type. I feel stronger and energised in only few months, with the technical skills to lift and strengthen that will last a lifetime.

Fantastic experience: After moving to hybrid working - part from home and part from the office - I was looking for a gym and personal trainer closer to home. I am so lucky to have found Lisa and her gym! Her small group classes feel like personal training. She always has an eye out for me, pushing me where I can excel and also making sure I don’t injure myself. It doesn’t matter that everyone in the class is at a different training age and has different injuries or strengths; she is on top of it and caters to challenge everyone. Even though I’m quite shy, the community at the gym is fabulous and Lisa cultivates a no d***heads atmosphere where I’ve felt safe and welcome, and get to have a good laugh making new friends. Best of all - the training is amazing. Every week I get stronger and feel fitter. Her programs are well thought out and get results. Lisa, I can’t thank you enough for helping me make fitness a regular part of my life again!

Fantastic experience: I've finally found a small gym where I can work out with a trainer who is knowledgable and allows for my uniqueness. And I never get bored!

Fantastic experience: Lisa is an incredibly skilled PT with a brilliant no nonsense approach. Her expertise have brought me back from a running injury which took me out of action 6 months. In 6 weeks I have gone from pain just when I’m walking, to running with no pain again Incredible program that Lisa tailors to every single person in the gym. Truly personal training in a small group setting.

Fantastic experience: Lisa is great, she brings incredible energy, commitment and knowledge to training. There are no egos at Innervate, just a total understanding of the human body, how to get the most out of everyones individual circumstances and a goal to make training enjoyable. The programs provide plenty of variation, she's incredibly thorough and big on doing things safely and properly.

Fantastic experience: Lisa is knowledgable, approachable and fun to work with. I have suffered for years with a bad back and after only a few weeks I feel like a different person! I have movement back in my neck and shoulders and I am feeling, stronger and happier than i've felt in years! I feel very motivated and am throughly enjoying being part of the Coogee Gym family. Thank you Lisa!!

Fantastic experience: A brilliant mix of pure strength, cardio and big HIIT out sessions... and yoga too. Lisa plans really well structured 4-5 week programs based on building strength, stability and stamina. I've been training with Lisa for a few months now and noticed a huge difference in my posture and strength as well as improved fitness level when I swim... which was my goal. BOOM!

Fantastic experience: From the get-go, Lisa is warm, empathetic and wants to ensure you are comfortable and your technique is safe. Lisa goes to great effort to understand your concerns and areas for development and ensures you practice with safety and correct technique always. The programs are structured and work really well. If you are consistent, you will start to see improvements within a few weeks. The class sizes are also small which ensures you get the attention you need and that you are doing the exercises correctly. Lisa is engaging and genuinely cares about her training groups.

Fantastic experience: I joined Coogee Gym over 4 months ago and honestly have not looked back. I was someone who never thought I would like or benefit from strength training but very quickly felt confident I had made the right choice. Lisa is just a natural teacher, so so knowledgeable and passionate about what she does, its infectious. I love attending this gym, I feel supported, included and come away feeling stronger and better each time. I could not recommend this place highly enough. Such a lovely community.

Fantastic experience: For anyone seeking a rounded, varied and meticulously programmed weekly regime to improve your strength, conditioning, flexibility and cardio fitness, Coogee Gym Innervate is for you. Delivered in a small group setting by Lisa Brown, a caring, experienced and passionate trainer, there is a focus on individual development and achievement of agreed goals with likeminded class mates. Lisa has a laser like focus on technique and form to deliver positive gains, improve movement patterns or if needed, manage injury and pain. Lisa has identified mobility opportunities in my technique and working together we have made positive gains. Over to you...

Fantastic experience: Lisa is amazing! She's so passionate, caring and incredibly knowledgeable about building strength and resilience. When I started at Innervate, I had a lot of hip flexor pain, lower back pain and and issues with my glutes just not working the way they should - ecaserbated by childbirth and carrying a toddler often. Lisa's approach has been wonderful, she pushes me (in a really good way) but also is careful of my needs and provides alternatives to exercises where required. Her energy is awesome and the classes are not too packed so you don't feel like a fish out of water, and Lisa is always there to make sure you're doing okay. I would highly recommend Lisa and Innervate as it's probably the first time in my life that I've actually stuck to a fitness regime, felt motivated and gained strength. My hips and lower back are so much better just after a few months and from a mental health perspective, I walk out of the classes feeling great.

Fantastic experience: Lisa is a passionate trainer who is knowledgeable, balanced, mindful and no nonsense (in the most positive way). Lisa ensures each person is catered for if they require alternative movements and/or if they have a specific goal in mind (i.e. strength vs endurance). As a soccer player, I’ve had two injuries in the past year. Lisa continues to cater for my previous quad tear and pulled glute - which is a difficult task in itself, but Lisa navigates this with ease. Very impressed and thankful for Lisa’s steadfast encouragement and pushing me to exactly where I need to be in order to build strength at the right pace (but without overdoing it)! Lisa clearly puts mindfulness and intention into each session. I enjoy her communicative, open, and result based approach. Much love to Lisa.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Lisa for four months and I am amazed by the results already. I feel much stronger and I have a better posture. I used to do regular classes in a gym for years and I found out that all theses years I didn’t have to right technique. With Lisa I know that I am in good hands. She always has an eye on each one of us even if we are in small group setting. Lisa is a highly skilled personal trainer and she also have a lot of energy and a beautiful heart. I thoroughly recommend her services.

Fantastic experience: I wanted to find a friendly, unpretentious community orientated gym and Coogee Gym has 100% nailed that brief. I’m delighted I found it. Lisa really knows her stuff and is passionate in everything she does. She motivates and encourages and always has her eye on the ball. When I first joined I wasn’t sure this type of fitness was for me, I said I’d give it three months but that was over six months ago! It’s become such an important part of my health and wellness and I’m loving it. Keep doing what you do Lisa (and keep playing the banging tunes!).

Fantastic experience: Lisa is absolutely fabulous! Her expertise and enthusiasm shines in every session. I am seeing strength progress much more quickly with her programming than I have at other gyms. She has created a beautiful, supportive community that is diverse and welcoming. Coogee Gym is like none other I’ve experienced. Lisa is able to adjust the program to all fitness levels and challenge in a supportive way. Thanks for an awesome workout every time Lisa!

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Lisa for about 12 weeks and I'm blown away with her knowledge, her capacity to understand each person's quirks and provide alternatives as needed. She is really tuned in to each individual and what they need, it is so different from the other gyms I've been to. I have crush fractures in 2 of my verterbrae and because of that I was looking for a trainer or a gym where I would feel safe and heard, I trust Lisa implicitly. I have already seen gains in my strength and I have more mobility in one of my hips which has been limited since I was hit by a car when I was 12! Lisa makes every session enjoyable with her enthusiasm and vocabulory :-0 I have no hesitation in recommending Lisa at Innervate.

Fantastic experience: I have worked with many personal trainers over the years and no-one even comes close to Lisa. The individual attention received in her classes together with her experience has always exceeded my expectations. Most importantly the results speak for themselves. I have bad posture and Lisa has been working with me to correct this as well as making me stronger and motivating me to achieve. I highly recommend Lisa and Coogee Gym Innervate to anyone who wants to enjoy their exercising whilst reaching their goals.

Fantastic experience: Lisa’s a great trainer. She has a strong focus on technique and an eye for body position detail. I’ve been training with her for about 9 months and thanks to her patient support and generous sharing of knowledge, I’ve gradually become more confident and competent at strength training. I feel much stronger in my body and am still making gains! Lisa’s motivating, mixes things up so it doesn’t get boring and manages to cater to each person in our group training sessions -- despite our different body types and various quirks. Having yoga class and cardio sessions in the mix each week is a bonus!

Fantastic experience: I have been training in many forms over the past 40 years. Lisa Brown has been by far the best coach I have ever had. She has worked around my arthritic shoulder and made me stronger and removed all the pain!!! Lisa has also made me laugh - a lot :) I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

Fantastic experience: For years I’ve seriously really struggled with sticking to any form of fitness until I found Lisa and Coogee gym! She offers an experience that is very rare, where you get all the perks of being part of a great community but also personal training style tailoring and attention. She’s made me absolutely love training so much that I’m bummed when I have to miss a session. I’m getting great consistent results and it’s been a god sent especially in lockdown for my mental health. On top off having an all round great vibe she has a lot of knowledge behind her programs and I’ve learnt alot training with her. Couldn’t recommend Coogee Gym Innervate enough!

Fantastic experience: Have been going to the gym for 3 months and it’s made such a difference - even though we’ve been in lockdown most of that time and it’s been on zoom! The programs Lisa puts together have basically fixed with niggling back pain that I had. Lisa is extremely knowledgeable and tailors the program to everyone.

Fantastic experience: I invested in myself over three years ago and haven't looked back. Lisa is an exceptional trainer with an incredible community of great humans who just want to look after themselves. Its great value $. Small group training but feels like one on one PT. Bonus you get to meet other like minded people who love to keep fit and then drink coffee!

Fantastic experience: Lisa has changed my entire approach to fitness! I used to struggle to get to 1 gym classes a week, my motivation was low and I felt disconnected from the people I was exercising with. I’ve now been working out with Lisa at innervate gym for about 6 months and exercise is so ingrained in my routine - I now workout minimum three times a week without fail and on top of that I’m running and doing yoga. The community feel at the gym is so comforting and you really feel part of something. Lisa is an INCREDIBLE trainer, extremely knowledgeable and tailors all of the exercises to suit individual needs/goals. I’ve never seen a trainer so committed to helping people move better, become stronger and feel great. If I could give more than five stars I would!!!

Fantastic experience: I loved training with Lisa leading up to the birth of my second baby. She was so warm and welcoming and always had options that were both safe but still challenging enough for me in her group sessions. She encourages an environment of fun with some friendly competition, but always in a way that allows people to work within their limits (e.g. injuries, health concerns, goals). Training with Lisa meant my body was in great shape and I didn't suffer a lot of the usual pregnancy (or my normal body) complaints, like a sore back. In fact, I felt better than usual when training with Lisa, even when heavily pregnant! I would recommend Lisa to anybody looking for some external motivation and support to train in a challenging but safe environment with a great group of people.

Positive experience: Great for kids and adults can get rid of all that energy that all children have

Fantastic experience: Fantastic small gym run by Lisa Brown, the fun and highly motivating trainer.

Fantastic experience: Lisa is an amazing trainer, who is totally passionate about her work and clients. I started seeing Lisa over a year ago, with quite severe back pain. She's expert in working with people who have back issues, getting them strong, fit and healthy, and most importantly moving again without pain! My back has improved so much, and I feel confident to workout in a way that I know will work for me. I couldn't recommend Lisa enough!

Fantastic experience: I have been enjoying training at Coogee Gym Innervate for the last few months. Lisa's attention to correct form and technique makes me feel safe to workout and try new movements with less risk of injuring myself. Lisa's set up of having set classes means that there's a great community feel as you see the same people all the time. And her passion, enthusiasm and jokes makes it all good fun. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Lisa guided me through the rehabilitation of a bilateral ankle sprain, rebuilt my movement patterns and confidence in the gym! I would highly recommend Innervate gym!

Fantastic experience: Lisa is an incredibly knowledgeable and capable trainer. Even when training a group, she finds time to give personal instruction to each person, making sure form and technique are spot on and modifying exercises to suit individual needs. She’s also really fun and incredibly motivating!

Fantastic experience: Lisa is the best! Awesome vibe for training, she really explains everything so you not only know how to do everything but also why you’re doing it. So much better than anywhere else I’ve been!

Fantastic experience: Lisa’s space and training is next level. The care, the time, the attention to detail in all you do when you step through the door is nothing I have experienced in my years of training. She doesn’t just smash you and send you on your way. She takes the individual time to make sure that every movement is right for you in order to get the best out of your sessions. Thank you Lisa!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending Innervate for only 11 weeks now but I love it so much. When I started I had horrendous hip and back pain, which I’ve been dealing with on and off for about 5+ years now, it was at its peek when I started and now it’s all but gone. I feel so much stronger and when I’m training I feel safe because Lisa is there making sure I have correct form. She also explains everything so you have a great understanding of what muscles you should be feeling and how they should feel when you do it. I can not recommend Lisa and Innervate enough, it’s seriously been life changing and I can’t believe I’ve been living with this damn hip pain when I didn’t have to.

Fantastic experience: Lisa is an excellent, supportive, professional and dedicated trainer. She really goes above and beyond. I started with Lisa’s program after the birth of my baby and her approach to my fitness has been incredibly considered, motivating and committed. I now feel more fit and strong in my body than I ever have before! I would highly recommend working with Lisa at Coogee Innervate.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend the friendly Coogee Gym and the amazing owner and PT, Lisa! Lisa’s programming is strength and conditioning based, with a big focus on good form and technique to guarantee you get results. Small group training which ensure you get dedicated training advice and motivation – almost like personal training but without the price tag and in a more fun environment (Lisa’s energy is contagious and she makes everyone feel at ease in the gym despite abilities or levels of fitness)! Lisa has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the way our bodies work. After seeing you move, she will be able to detect any little niggles or anomalies and will adapt the programme to better suited exercises for you so you can work towards getting stronger and pain-free.

Fantastic experience: Coogee gym is my absolute training oasis! Lisa is so knowledgeable, motivating and caring! She crafts awesome programs and keeps everyone moving regardless of their fitness level. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Lisa is a great trainer who takes a personal interest in all of her clients’ needs, niggles, and technique. She works so hard to deliver a robust and diverse training program to keep everyone progressing at a level that suits their individual experience and her enthusiasm is infectious!

Fantastic experience: I contacted Lisa after a recommendation of someone I trust ( partner) with this intention of doing a 8 week. I'ts now been 9 months.... and Im stronger, mentally and physically and could not be happier. Pre training with Lisa, I considered myself reasonably healthy but had started seeing signs of weakness in parts of my mid 50's body....poor posture, weaker shoulders, weak knees from foot injuries. Lisa's identified these quickly in the orientation process and catered for my shortcomings in each session...she really cares, is encouraging, looks for feedback, is professional and, importantly gets results. This is setting me up to enjoy life more, and get better results on the golf course. If your reading this, Your mad if you don't give her a crack....Chris and happy.

Fantastic experience: Could not recommend Lisa's programme enough. Lisa is passionate about getting results and cares deeply about safety and form on a personal level making the classes less intimidating and more about personal achievement and growth. She creates fun, social groups where everyone is pushed within their own capability, feels accountable & enjoys turning up - even at 7am!

Fantastic experience: Having trained in different gyms in Sydney over the past 8 years, I can honestly say Lisa is the best trainer I’ve dealt with and genuinely cares about her clients! She is all about proper form and spine health, and getting results in the smartest way possible. There is a great community feel from the gym and it’s overall just a really enjoyable experience! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Lisa Brown is an incredible trainer who transformed my life to other level of health. I feel strong, i don’t have neck and back pain as before (I am seen my physio much less) i can sleep all night now and have so much more energy. Also, it is a great feeling to be part of a friendly environment at the gym. Thank you so much Lisa for your dedication and passion for what you do, the 3 months training results is unbelievably positive on my overall health, it is just amazing. You are a star.

Fantastic experience: Starting out on my return to fitness. Lisa knows what she's talking about. A fun place to work out.

Fantastic experience: Technique is incredibly important to me, along with core stability as I have learnt over time that without this you can run into many issues. Lisa from Coogee Gym has created an environment of great people, great charm but most importantly she is incredible at what she does. I trust her like no other trainer I have been too and my back pain I started with and have had for years is a thing of the past. I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Lisa has created a no bull service, that works with you to meet your goals. After three months with Lisa I feel healthier, stronger and more balanced in my training. Her passion, commitment and focus on form, back and core strength is second to none, with all the benefits that follow for health and well-being. She brings deep experience, practical tips and cues, and a broad toolkit to ensure you stay on track... and especially on form with no excuses. An intimate group training environment ensures individual goals and challenges are accommodated through rolling programs that maintain the motivation, and keep it fun, whatever level you are at. This is a genuine, high quality, evidence-based approach with a fantastic community that sits around it which makes for a great way to stay fit and grow stronger. Her maintenance of a COVID safe program and environment over a challenging few months is reassuring and a welcome point of difference. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Definitely the best gym I’ve ever trained at. Ever. Lisa is an absolutely incredible trainer. In the small group sessions, she manages to give everyone a super personalised experience (including making expert adjustments for injuries) while also creating a really friendly and highly motivating team atmosphere. The programs are really well designed, challenging and fun. One on one PT with her is absolutely next level! Lisa takes a super smart and structured approach to building strength and getting results. I’d highly recommend Innervate at Coogee to people at all stages of their fitness journey. Plus the gym has a dog (Leroy the Lab). Need I say more??

Fantastic experience: Lisa is an excellent trainer, her passion and energy have kept me motivated more than I've ever honestly been. I wasn't into group fitness before joining this gym but am now a convert - her sessions are focused on strength and conditioning, and even with the group sessions her incredible eagle eyes make you feel like it's 1:1, with personalised attention and care always shared across the group. Also, it's just a really welcoming bunch of people to train with, which really helps when its tough to get out of bed to work out some mornings. Two (strong!) thumbs up from me!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended for those who are looking for resistance training 3-4x a week in a group setting; feedback on form, posture & technique is definitely a plus here although it takes 'forever' to get it right. Learn at your own pace!

Fantastic experience: Lisa is such a great trainer, very professional and makes everyone feel welcome. Love the vibe of the gym. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Lisa is a thorough expert! She knows her stuff so your strength, fitness and mobility are built step by step for the long haul - no gimmicks or BS - consistent well programmed weights and movement. Every class she takes care of each of us and our diverse bodies diligently. Your future self will thank you for investing the time and effort making the most of Lisa’s incredible expertise and guidance. It’s not what you expect, I felt like a fish out of water for first month but trusted her advice and did the work and at 4 week mark - boom, I could see and feel my body clicking into gear and doing things I didn’t think it was capable of. After 6 months of training I fell pregnant and once again Lisa had my back and I managed to train safely into 3rd trimester, keep my high blood pressure risks to me and bubs at bay and then get my body rebuilding post pregnancy. Full circle and feeling the benefits to my health are game changing.

Fantastic experience: Lisa is the best in the business! She trains us hard and cares so much about her clients. The atmosphere in the gym is great. Everyone is all shapes, sizes and fitness levels but helps boost each other to be the best they can be. Wouldn’t train anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: I have trained with Lisa on and off for close to a decade and she is one in a million. Lisa is committed to ensuring everyone's different injuries are adjusted for and she is the only person I trust to train me given my back problems. You work really hard but you laugh and enjoy the session, she genuinely cares about all her clients and gives so much of herself. I wouldn't train anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Working out at Coogee Gym with Lisa is fun, educational & inspiring. The method of set small sessions means the trainers know each participants strengths & goals, and that participants get to know one another. Lisa has built a strong community of likeminded people that are a pleasure to be around. Highly recommended if you like to lift weights & have a laugh too.

Fantastic experience: Having played football for years, I never understood how so many of my injuries were due to the lack of strength I had. Since I joined Coogee gym I have become stronger, fitter and injury free! This is personal training in a small group environment. Its fun and not intimidating at all absolutely love this gym!

Fantastic experience: I have just started with Lisa at Innervate and quickly i’ve been made feel welcome and part of the tribe. Lisa’s enthusiasm and commitment to wellbeing and fitness is impressive and motivating. Looking forward to the journey ahead!

Fantastic experience: Having recently had my first baby and having ab separation I went to Lisa to regain my strength lost during the pregnancy. Lisa is extremely knowledgable and knows her stuff! She has safely educated and trained me, helping me get back to feeling strong and fit. Added bonus is that she was not phased by having my little one at sessions with us. I would definitely recommend Lisa and her boutique gym.

Fantastic experience: A great environment where everyone is made feel welcome. Old school strength and conditioning training led by a passionate and genuine coach - Lisa.

Fantastic experience: Lisa is a bloody fantastic trainer. She holds you accountable, learns how your body moves, and has given me the best looking + best functioning body I've had in years!
