Beyond Best Personal Training

Fantastic experience: Beni and his team have created a super welcoming and inclusive space for all levels of fitness. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Awesome space with great coaches, 10/10. would recommend!

Fantastic experience: Best is in the name because they are the Best in the business!! I moved to Collingwood from New Zealand last year not knowing anyone besides my partner I moved over with. Since joining beyond best in January, I have not only seen massive improvements in my fitness, strength and physical appearance (lifting more than I’ve ever lifted, whilst also running a half marathon PB) I’ve also found an awesome likeminded community who are supportive, friendly and love to have a laugh! Whole heartedly couldn’t recommend them more!

Fantastic experience: Excellent team - focussed and able to adapt a training schedule to my needs and busy weekly routine. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: A great gym with plenty of space. Mix of machines and free weights. Great, friendly personal trainers who really tailor a personal training program to fit your body and carefully help you improve. Once you have a personal trainer and access key you can also access the gym by yourself.

Fantastic experience: Been going here for over a month and loving it! Great trainers who are passionate and committed to achieving my goals. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Have been training there for a year. They have a large, airy space with top-quality equipment and a small team of dedicated trainers. It never feels crowded there and there's a real focus, you can get as much out of the training as you want to put in, so good for those casually interested in getting more fit (like me) as well as those with more serious goals. I would definitely consider giving the team at Beyond Best a go if you're looking for a personal trainer!

Fantastic experience: Half way through my 13 week program with Beyond Best and very happy with the experience and support I've received so far. Very happy to say that the team at Beyond Best have helped me get moving again and have been extra supportive while I found my motivation and confidence again. I am fitter, more flexible and happier by far than I was before joining this team. A great laid back gym with a friendly vibe and smiling happy peeps getting on with fitness. I look forward to my sessions there each week.

Fantastic experience: I've been visiting Beyond Best for over a year now & glad beyond best was the gym I ended up with. Beni the Owner and Ben my trainer & the rest of the team have been nothing short of great & all around educational, trusting & motivating for someone who didn't have a single 'working out' bone in their body prior to signing up. not to forget, really welcoming and creating a wholesome environment

Fantastic experience: A great gym with everything that I've needed, excellent environment. The trainers are competent, friendly and driven and have provided me with good programs to work around previous injuries. Further, the training has been wholistic looking at outside factors in addition to the exercise and training program at the gym. If you're looking to join a gym and have a PT, I'd definitely recommended BB.

Fantastic experience: What a fantastic gym, with great trainers interested in helping you achieve your best!

Fantastic experience: I really struggled with regaining my fitness and motivation coming out of covid until I discovered Beni and the team at Beyond Best. The setup is clean, professional and always friendly with state-of-the-art equipment that suits all fitness levels and from day one I felt welcomed and motivated to reach my fitness goals at a pace that would suit my lifestyle. My trainer Matt genuinely took the time to understand my specific needs and created a tailored workout plan that was challenging but achievable towards my long-term goal of regaining my consistency and confidence in the gym. I had some ongoing neck and back issues that required careful monitoring and Matt was always mindful of this when managing my program from week to week. I highly recommend Beyond Best to anyone looking to take their fitness to the next level.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Beni and BBPT team to anyone looking to improve their health, fitness and work towards an overall healthy lifestyle. I train with Beni weekly, he is holistic in his training plans and always takes into account what I want to work on and my goals. Beni puts a focus on goals outside of the gym including daily step counts, healthy and realistic food related goals, water intake, sleep and lots of other factors. The facilities in the gym are great, with parking nearly always available. I have trained with other trainers in others gyms before, but I have never managed to be consistent and see results as I always felt intimidated and quit shortly after joining. I have been a member with BBPT for over a year now and hope to make further progress in the next year. Beni and his team have created a community and a very welcoming environment in the gym. You are always greeted with a smile, a fist pump or a high five by the team. This is one of many reasons why I have kept coming back.

Fantastic experience: I started training at Beyond Best in January 2023 and it's been a really great experience that has (no exaggeration!) turned my life around. I'm doing a weights/resistance focused programme but they also do Muay Thai and cardio. At the beginning Beni and the team take the time to talk through where you're coming from to make sure it's a good fit for you, and then set up a personalised programme. It's a nice gym space with the weights downstairs, and cardio and showers upstairs. My trainer Duncan is super friendly, always knows what to say to be encouraging and keep me on track, and taking the time to explain what's behind all the exercises. I wasn't really a 'gym person' before joining but it's helped me feel so much better and healthier (I wasn't doing super great before), and get into good habits! It's also a really friendly and size/gender/etc inclusive space generally, goals-focused and everybody doing their best with no judgment. After two months I always feel like smiling when I walk in the door, even when it's squats day!!

Fantastic experience: Great session today guys! Your knowledge and encouragement is second to none and is helping me progress like never before! Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Genuinely friendly, encouraging, and knowledgeable trainers. They listened to my grumbling about aches and pains and set out a plan to rehabilitate them, whilst also gently pushing me to do more each session. For the first time in about 15 years my knees aren’t rubbish anymore; I can even crouch down and get up without wincing or making strange noises now!

Fantastic experience: I've had a number of trainers over the years, good and bad; and Ben is definitely one of the best.

Fantastic experience: I could not recommend the guys from BB any higher. Their dedication and passion towards improving their clients health and wellbeing is second to none. They take the time to understand your strengths, weaknesses, and any injuries or limitations, and create personalised training plans that are challenging but manageable. If you are considering working with a personal trainer, look no further than the guys at BB.

Fantastic experience: BBPT are a great, boutique gym. The team are super friendly - everyone knows everyone. And Ben Semmens is an absolute legend - he's completely changed my relationship with fitness and getting active in a friendly, non-judgemental, realistic way.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with great friendly trainers.

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities and friendly trainers. I love the functional approach that these trainers have. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great vibe and intimidating-free gym.

Fantastic experience: Great experience! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Beni is a great guy and truly supportive!

Fantastic experience: Great team. Very friendly and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: If you want to be Beyond your Best everyday then you need to train with this gym. What a great community this place is

Fantastic experience: Awesome!! That is all

Fantastic experience: Beni really is the best, he really knows his stuff.

Fantastic experience: The Beyond Best team is filled with helpful and knowledgeable legends!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful people, great trainers and great workouts!

Fantastic experience: As the team at Beyond Best says ... It's Time. Don't miss out on their opening offer. Whether your goal is weight loss, gaining strength or just 'keeping fit' for general everyday, the team at Beyond Best is an exceptional choice.

Fantastic experience: The team at Beyond best really care, they help build the foundations of movement so we don't injure ourselves. The team have wealth of knowledge and they always bring a smile. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: 5 star service, would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: The best service i have received from a personal trainer & I'm so happy with my results the last 12 weeks :)

Fantastic experience: Awesome 10/10!

Fantastic experience: Beni, Zac and the Beyond Best team are great - highly recommended for anyone looking for a more personalised, less generic and motivating personal training experience.

Fantastic experience: I can recommend Beyond Best enough. Really knowledgeable and experienced trainers. My PT has really got me motivated to go to the gym. Even in lockdown!

Fantastic experience: Beyond Best has been a great way to get back into fitness after a long break. Zac has been very supportive and encouraging, and always modifies exercises so not to exacerbate my underlying injury. I’ve noticed the significant gains in strength I’ve made over the past few months and have enjoyed our zoom sessions during lockdown. I would definitely recommend beyond best if you’re looking for a welcoming and inclusive gym to motivate you leading up to summer.

Fantastic experience: Zach has been a great trainer, especially during lockdown, through Zoom. He’s considerate of my wrist injury, pushes me to work harder and keeps each session interesting. I’m noticing my strength improving well and would recommend him as a trainer.

Fantastic experience: I started training with Beni in 2009 while doing a 12 week challenge looking to get fit and lose body fat. I always looked forward to our training sessions cause they were always so varied and I always learnt something new. I really enjoyed the Muay Thai style of training which made me feel super strong and fierce. Beni was one of the first personal trainers I have ever worked with, I was pretty lucky to get the best from the start and had great results at the end of the challenge having lost over 8kgs. Since than I have managed to keep all the weight off and continue to keep active and fit. The beyond best community has also been great for overall wellness and accountability. Thank you for all the support you have given me.

Fantastic experience: Thanks Craig you have been awesome in the short time we have been training. You listen, you're patient and don't make me feel my grand plans are ridiculous. You have such a wealth of knowledge and experience and I know you will help me achieve my goals. For me training is fun but also no nonsense and serious all at the same time and I like that I have this with you. We have already have had some wins in our few weeks of training and whilst in lockdown working on my shoulder mobility. Only onwards and upwards from here.

Fantastic experience: Been training with Zac for over a month now and I’ve been so impressed with the professionalism and work ethic shown despite some covid-19 hurdles. Really look forward to our training sessions and feel a million times better for it. Couldn’t recommend enough! 6 stars

Fantastic experience: After moving from Sydney i spent a good few months looking for a new Pt that was the real deal. After a quick chat with Beni he matched me with one of his guys called Zac for a trial. All the right question where asked and so the journey began. It’s been a little over two months and already seeing some great results! Happy I found beyond best. Cheers legends!

Fantastic experience: I have been trained by many fitness instructors and personal trainers in the past but Sasha is the best I've met! He deeply listens to what I want to achieve (rather than some ideal image of what I should be aiming for) and holds me accountable in a firm but gentle manner. The results I've achieved far exceeded my expectations. I've hit my goals within a few short months. I'm now on the path to achieving stretch goals that only a few months ago, I thought were impossible for me. I referred Sasha to a friend and I can not recommended him highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Great place to get you personal training. Excellent PT’s great atmosphere Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with outstanding trainers. Sasha is one of the best and he is knowledgeable, motivating and an all round great person to train with. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Fantastic experience: Get on it! First joined BB in 2017 to lose baby weight, I have also enjoyed mental health and general life benefits, improved concentration and wellbeing. Cardio as a necessity for training, very quickly turned in to a passion for regular running including ultramarathons, fueling and recovery strategies. Training with Sasha is the best part of my week, and he has been super flexible whether at the gym, outside or in my home over zoom.

Fantastic experience: Beni is an amazing personal trainer. Professional, caring, knowledgeable, and very supportive. He has introduced me to the world of Muay Thai, which is a most amazing and fun way of improving core strength, fitness, and coordination. Did I say fun already? I haven't looked or felt better than I have in a long long time. This is my first experience working with a personal trainer and I couldn't have wished for a better experience.

Fantastic experience: great trainers, great results great environment for training.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic people, best of the best trainers with a very professional work ethic

Fantastic experience: The BEST place to get a healthier body and mind! A great training facility where you are made to feel so welcome and at ease from the minute you walk in. Improving my overall fitness has had such a positive impact on my mental health too. I cant recommend Beyond Best enough, keep up the great work team!

Fantastic experience: Great trainers with a good vibe yet professional attitude towards achieving my goals, I highly recommend Beyond Best Personal training

Fantastic experience: We're so pleased to have the Beyond Best Team working with us in Fitzroy! They're super knowledgeable and passionate personal trainers and even better people!

Fantastic experience: Had a great assessment and start to personal training with very professional and knowledgable PTs. The gym itself is top class, and there is always a friendly face to welcome you when you come in. Amazing support and personalised service, led by great people - 10/10 would recommend

Fantastic experience: Beni and his team are awesome! They have years of experience and it really shows with the quality of advice they give for exercise and nutrition.

Fantastic experience: Beni & the team at Beyond Best are legends. Most personal trainers let alone strength & conditioning coaches I've dealt with in the past don't carry themselves with this much practical knowledge & caring attitude that actually helps. I recommend anyone who is struggling with reaching their goals, lacking the motivation or knowledge to get some help here. 100% worth the $$$ for what you get. Thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: Beni is a great personal trainer. I went from being hesitate to train, but with the guidance of Beni I now love the gym!!

Fantastic experience: It would be difficult to find more experienced, knowledgeable and dedicated trainers than the team at Beyond Best.

Fantastic experience: Ben and the team are incredible trainers. They have rightly become a staple for inner city suburb residents seeking help with physical fitness and wellbeing. They are as diverse as they are knowledgable, and anyone looking for a quality trainer should be booking an appointment asap. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: The service that's given and the detail that goes into his work is phenomenal. I couldn't recommend working with Beni or the team at Beyond Best enough.

Fantastic experience: Ben is a terrific personal trainer. He has helped me reach my fitness goals. He has found novel ways to make training and support me in losing weight both interesting and effective.

Fantastic experience: Beni and his team got me through Covid, helped me lose more weight than I have before and I genuinely enjoy exercising now because of their approach. BB’s are kind yet firm and educate their clients in limiting stress and achieving realistic results whilst not doing it on your own. I’ve noticed a change in my body, as well as my mindset towards daily habits and healthy practices.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Beyond Best for the last 2 1/2 years and can honestly say I haven't felt better or stronger ever in my life. Beni and Sasha are professional, caring people who really go the extra mile to ensure you're safe, supported and above all *challenged* during the sessions. Unhesitatingly recommend them to all ages and fitness levels.

Fantastic experience: Beni and the team at Beyond Best Personal Training are amazing! Beni's passion for health and fitness is truly inspirational. If I could sum it all up in a 3 words it would be; Dedication, knowledgeable and Friendly :)

Fantastic experience: During the 4 years I did 1 on 1 Muay Thai sessions with Beni I was easily the fittest I’ve ever been. He has years of legitimate kickboxing/boxing experience way beyond most trainers who have just done a one day boxing course. Beni made the sessions fun while also ensuring technical proficiency. I learned so much, and as well as fitness, I also gained confidence. Aside from Muay Thai, Beni is also a great personal trainer, strength, and kettlebell coach. I can’t speak highly enough of Beyond Best PT.

Fantastic experience: Started training with Beni 12 years ago I reckon. Always looked forward to our weekly sessions as Beni has so much knowledge and the amount of different programs he showed me over that time was amazing. Unfortunately ive moved from the area and no longer train with Beni but we still catch up on occasions. I guarantee you’ll get results if you train with Beni. ‘Go hard or go home’

Fantastic experience: The team at Beyond Best are awesome. I have been training with Sasha for 5 months now and am super happy with the progress. He knows his stuff and is very committed to working with you to get results! Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I have worked with the crew from Beyond Best for a number of years and I can’t recommend them highly enough! Amazing knowledge, practical applications, attention to detail and flexibility to work with you and your goals are just some of the things that Beyond Best has in spades! Call them, like right now!!!

Fantastic experience: I appreciate the friendly staff and the great motivation they have provided. I highly recommend that anyone make a start to change their life for the better, under their guidance and remaining focussed, you will achieve great results.

Fantastic experience: I love training with Beyond Best, Benni and the team are super switched on and considerate with your training. Super mindful with pre-existing injuries as well as what your body and lifestyle can handle. It’s been awesome to train over the past six months and see my habits and body shift in a way that I know is turning into permanent positive habits. Thanks team BB.

Fantastic experience: I trained with Benny for the past 6 years and he’s been a stellar trainer, helping me achieve strength and mobility so I can perform my best in sports like martial arts, soccer and more. He’s really professional and really ensures that your training programs are tailored to your personal needs. Also always gives you extra tips on how to perform your training outside your PT sessions.

Fantastic experience: Beni from Beyond Best is a rare bread of Personal Trainer. As an Allied Health Practitioner I have been extremely impressed with his high level of professionalism and willingness to refer his clients for help with injuries. This clearly demonstrates he cares and has his client’s best interests in mind. His person-centred and high-touch approach to Personal Training is second to none. This is why Beni is the first person I think of to refer my patients to for training… I know they’ll be in great hands. Dr Rick Davids, Osteopath.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Josh for about 12 months now and I’ve never felt stronger. As a hairdresser of 20 years my posture was Terrible but Josh has worked on correcting it and I no longer have any back or shoulder pain. The guys at Beyond Best are very experienced trainers, they will work hard with you to achieve your goals but you will have a laugh with them along the way.

Fantastic experience: I've been working different PT's for about 10 years and Ben from Beyond Best Personal Training has been the only one who has helped me get the long-term results that I wanted. He knows his stuff, but more importantly, he keeps me motivated week after week. I always look forward to the sessions which I think is one of the reasons that I have achieved what I have. At 41, I have never been fitter and stronger, and I have less aches and pains now than when I was 20 years younger. Thanks Benny.

Fantastic experience: Beni is one of the most experienced personal trainers in Melbourne CBD. If you appreciate exceptional service and a great atmosphere then Beyond Best is the place to get the results you want.

Fantastic experience: Trainers at Beyond Best offer friendly, professional and highly motivational training. The programs were carefully considered and were always tailored to help me achieve my goals. I was trained by them over a 10 year period and have no hesitation in recommending Beyond Best to others.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Beni and the Beyond Best team for at least 10 years now. My positive results are due to my hard work and their intuitive leadership. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: About a year ago I did a Muay Thai trial session with Beni. 12 months later, I am attending twice a week.
