Absolute Health & Performance - Armadale

Fantastic experience: Welcoming atmosphere and great coaches. Progress is tracked and measured which keeps both clients and coaches accountable. Would recommend to anyone wanting to see results in strength and overall health.

Fantastic experience: Ive been training at Absolute Health for 6 months now and couldn’t be happier with my experience. The team genuinely care about their clients goals, progress and wellbeing and are all so friendly, knowledgeable and supportive. Since training at absolute health, I have been surprised at how quickly I have seen results. I feel stronger and leaner than I have ever been and this has given me more energy and confidence in my everyday life. I cannot recommend my trainers Renee and Yzzy highly enough as they have made working out a thoroughly enjoyable experience!

Fantastic experience: I can't speak highly enough about my experience so far at Absolute Health & Performance. Everyone in the team is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and supportive - from the moment you walk in the door through to the exceptional personal trainers. The exploratory conversations when I commenced were thoughtful and holistic, equipping me with a set of goals to help improve my energy, confidence and sense of wellbeing. I'm only three months in but thanks to Renee's encouraging and empathetic approach, I'm feeling better across all aspects of my life. I'm very grateful to everyone at Absolute Health & Performance - signing up has been one of the best decisions I've made this year!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely awesome coaching with Yzzy - she is able to help me out with my specific goals, adapts training, and really great at explaining exercises, 100% would recommend!

Fantastic experience: Before going to Absolute I was suffering chronic pain and not feeling confident in my body’s ability to take on new challenges. Personal Trainer Yzzy provides individual personalised attention and plans her sessions to adapt to the particular needs of your body. I now feel much stronger, confident and resilient and look forward to every session and to continuing progress.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had a great time improving on myself with the help of all the staff. The equipment and floor is always kept in perfect and pristine condition. The staff are always happy to be around and offer any assistance and answer any questions. They’re flexible with their session times but firm in encouraging me to keep to my routine and bettering myself. Since I’ve begun I’ve seen a vast improvement in my life and my physical ability thanks to these people. Will be sticking around for a long time to come.

Fantastic experience: Started training with exercise phys. Josh from Absolute Armadale about 3months ago and I’m already reaping the results! After experiencing fatigue and long term side effects from previous cancer treatments and suffering with lifting heavy things at work, Josh made sure to look at all aspects of my lifestyle to cater workouts specific to my health and goals. I already feel stronger and more confident in my physical abilities which is more than I could have ever expect when I started 3months ago. And the weekly catchup and gym banter is a definite plus! Would recommend absolute and Josh to anyone wanting to start their health and well being journey!

Fantastic experience: Between July and December 2023, Jackson and Jasmine have provided significant care for my injured left posterior cruciate ligament. During this period, intensive twice weekly rehabilitation and weekly therapy co-ordinated by both Jackson and Jasmine has been required. Jackson has provided supervised rehabilitation and return to strength and conditioning training with a personalised approach and experience. This included monitoring my recovery and continuing to progress my strength and conditioning back to pre-injury levels. Jasmine has assisted with providing pain relief and effective mobility programming, significantly improving ROM in six months. I have thoroughly enjoyed the last six months I have spent at Absolute Health and Performance under the guidance of both Jackson and Jasmine who have contributed to providing personalised and challenging guided rehabilitation, return to strength and conditioning programming and return to running and stair programming.

Fantastic experience: I have seen Jasmine Genis several times over the past year for treatment of a lower back strain. I have been thoroughly impressed with Jasmines ability to provide immediate pain relief and arm me with some simple, yet extremely effective stretches, which allow me to get back to my normal mobility within a very short timeframe.

Fantastic experience: Both Ash and Jas were amazing and helped with my back issue, which had been ongoing. The exercise they gave me have worked and continue to keep my back free from pain.

Fantastic experience: I have seen Osteo Ashley Gudgeon for a number of years for a range of issues including lower back and hip discomfort and neck and upper back issues. Ash is an extremely knowledgeable practitioner and has always been able to successfully treat my issues. In my experience, Ash goes above and beyond other practitioners I have seen by not only treating the affected area / ailment at the appointment but also in providing after care exercises (with video examples) and follow up that helps address the issues on a longer term basis. As a keen golfer and gym goer, he has helped my overall mobility no end to be able to pursue these interests without pain and discomfort. I highly recommend Ash.

Fantastic experience: Ashley Gudgeon (Osteopath) has been instrumental in helping me address a number of physical health issues over the last 5 years. There have been many occasions where I have limped into Ashley's office with a host of musculoskeletal issues leaving 45 minutes later with a good understanding of the issue, an improvement in the issue through his thorough test and diagnosis process during the session, and more importantly a plan that allowed me to work on my rehabilitation at home which accelerated the timelines. I now run 5km 3 times for the first time in 25+ years and have a much better understanding of how to develop and maintain my musculoskeletal health.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Absolute Health & Performance to address a problem with my shoulder. Before this, I was attending another place for about a year, so I decided it was time to get a second opinion. Only a month has passed since I have been seeing Hugh at Absolute Health & Performance, and he has managed to significantly improve my issue. Overall, the staff are friendly, professional, and clearly very passionate about what they do, so I highly recommend giving this place a go.

Fantastic experience: Absolute Health is an exemplary fitness centre that stands out for its commitment to providing an inviting and supportive environment. Hugh’s expertise and friendly attitude helped me recover from persistent injury and build my strength and confidence again. Hugh radiates a genuine enthusiasm for helping recovery and is available to answer questions and create a tailored program that suited me. The easy to follow app with video instructions and structure was well paced and worth the investment.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Hugh, Yzzy and the entire team at Absolute highly enough! I was referred to Absolute by a Physio that was supporting my post-surgery ACL rehab. They shared Absolute’s details as I was becoming deflated in not seeing much improvement through an alternative gym’s program and was starting to question if I would ever return to pre-injury strength and stability. I instantly felt comfortable and knew I was in knowledgeable hands! I am now signed-off to return to sport and feel back to pre-injury strength (and some!). The positive experience has been a result of their level of expertise and knowledge; the level of care (i.e. I was experiencing some additional health effects and Hugh researched these between sessions to even better tailor and support my program) and the genuinely fun and welcoming nature of the entire team!

Fantastic experience: The Absolute Health team in Armadale are outstanding professionals and lovely people. Whether you’re recovering from surgery or injury or just wanting to get stronger and fitter, at any age or state of health the team will tailor a program that suits you perfectly. Hugh helped me recover from back surgery and return to running and swimming with no pain. It was hard but he was there every step of the way and I am very grateful.

Fantastic experience: I rarely write reviews but I will highly recommend Osteopath Ash Gudgeon to anyone managing pain. I’ve managed lower back pain for about 10 yrs with some but limited success. Have tried most things. Ash was the first professional I’ve seen that looked well past my back pain and opened my eyes to a range of contributing factors. He addressed my work behaviours, sleeping patterns, gym program, and even to role my stress levels were having on my pain. It was like a light bulb had gone off. Ash gave me a series of exercises to get me moving again, and importantly educated me around a more holistic approach to managing not just my back but my whole physical health now I’m well into my 40’s. Ash’s manor gave menthe confidence that I can live a strong and healthy life free from pain killers if I just made sure I considered the whole effect life and it stressors can have on us. First class and above the rest. Don’t hesitate to book in. It’s well worth it.

Fantastic experience: Ashley Gudgeon and the team are incredible. I had a torn shoulder ligament, along with general weakness and hypermobility issues that went on for 3 years. I was seeing some shoulder 'specialists' for that entire duration, that almost ended up with me getting a shoulder reconstruction. After that didn't work out, I was told that they couldn't do anything more for me, and that I would have to accept that I'd never be able to play the sports I wanted again. That led me on to seeking different opinions, where I eventually ended up meeting Ash. His approach and mentality gave me an indescribable boost, and within a couple months of (proper, much better) rehab my shoulder was much better. A year later i was able to achieve my goal of completing an Ironman 70.3, something which I'd never have been able to do without Ash. Could not recommend him more.

Fantastic experience: I have thoroughly enjoyed the last 6 weeks I have spent under Hugh's guidance at Absolute. Hugh developed a challenging program specific to my needs. Initially lacking in confidence, I feel like I am now finally back on track to being happier, healthier, pain free and motivated. Very professional, great environment and very friendly staff. Thank you Hugh and Absolute!

Fantastic experience: Earlier this year I thought I would never be able to run again but with help from Hugh at Absolute Health & Performance I have recovered from my injury, progressed my strength in the gym and am now working towards my goal of completing a half marathon!

Fantastic experience: Absolute Health & Performance osteopath, Jasmine Genis, provided significant care for my sprained ankle and injured knee. Recommended by friends and family, her personalised approach and expertise enabled me to play sports for extended periods and endure high impact. Highly recommended for anyone seeking reliable musculoskeletal rehabilitation. Immensely grateful for the transformation. 5 stars!

Fantastic experience: Joined Absolute Health & Performance gym in Armadale a few months ago. Really enjoy my training there, the atmosphere of the gym, the trainers and the Exercise Physiologist's knowledge are top class and I'm already feeling and seeing the benefits of working with them. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Hugh at Absolute for over 6 months and my strength and general stamina has noticeably improved! Hugh's knowledge is also fantastic and working with him has really improved the areas that needed work. Absolute is also inclusive and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Hugh M has helped me with a knee injury that has limited me for the past 5 years! I can now do all the things I wanted to with no pain I have been to many other people, and he is definitely the best person to help with knee pain!!

Fantastic experience: Last august I was referred to Hugh who came highly recommended by my osteo, I had chronic neck pain caused by a footy injury 10 years ago and I didn’t have the confidence to get back in the gym again, every time I did it would result in a bad flare up of the neck injury. I have now completed over 4 months of a consistent and well strategised 2-3 times a week program with Hugh, I am pain free and feeling as strong as I ever have, I feel like I’m in my prime. It certainly pays to see a professional with the expertise and education Hugh has. I look forward to continuing my journey with him.

Fantastic experience: I have had a great experience at Absolute, Hugh has been integral to getting me back on track with my fitness journey after many years of knee pain. The team are passionate about what they do and really care about you. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Absolute were recommended to me after a serious injury that had me off my feet for a year. I’ve since been able to crank out 10km walks and 6-hour dance-a-thons, things i thought were out of reach post-(triple)surgeries. Full credit to these guys for getting my mind and body back on track despite a busy schedule and very specific rehab needs.

Fantastic experience: Matt helped me get back to full fitness after an injury and was nothing short of exceptional. He was always willing and eager to help and watch me progress through my recovery and consistently catered to my every need. I attribute my successful rehab to Matt’s professionalism, robust knowledge and ability to tailor each facet of recovery to my individual needs. I would 110% recommend him to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Great socially accepting environment, where skills are developed and maintained. High quality coaching with high quality equipment. Would recommend to family and friends.

Fantastic experience: I have loved working with Hugh for my footy off season! It’s clear he has a strong passion for coaching, as well as women’s footy. After a tough year for me with injury and illness, he was supportive, understanding and committed to helping me get back on track. The program was enjoyable and flexible around my other commitments, and I’m feeling stronger than ever!

Fantastic experience: Initially introduced by a physio, I have been a client of Absolute since 2019 and think it’s a game changer in terms of strength, alignment and general health and fitness. I now find day to day activities easier to take in and enjoy tennis, walking etc much more. I highly recommend Finlay and the team!

Fantastic experience: Tom is a legend. His evidence based approach to health and fitness has made for a very enjoyable training journey and real results over the last few months!

Fantastic experience: An amazing and supportive environment to work towards your fitness and health goals. Big shout out to Hugh Mason for his intelligent and challenging approach to training :)

Fantastic experience: I’ve had a great workout experience with Absolute on Williams st in the past, and after moving further from the city I switched to training with coach Sami. She has been absolutely awesome since I started. She is big on consistency and accountability which has been my issues in the past. She has a wealth of knowledge and a friendly way of pushing those extra % out of you when you train. I would recommend Sami to anyone wanting to start exercising, whether first time or elite level. Thank you, Coach Sami!

Fantastic experience: Sam and the team at Absolute provide a great, balanced, approach to health and fitness. Their knowledge and skills across different related disciplines all come together in delivering targeted and personalised plans really focusing on the needs, requirements and goals of the client. If you are looking for a coach, can recommend.

Fantastic experience: I love Absolute! I found them after I was diagnosed with breast cancer and I was looking for an exercise physiologist. They helped me prepare for surgery, understanding what I could do based on my chemotherapy treatments. Matt has helped me recover from my surgery and has adapted my training based on where my body is at. He’s worked with other members of my team based on what I could do. They have really helped me.

Fantastic experience: I’ve trained at Absolute Health and Performance in Armadale since Feb 2021 and really enjoy it. All the trainers and support staff are very friendly and the PT sessions have really benefited my running too. I like the 4 week program cycle so I can see my improvement during the time and then never get bored as a new cycle will begin. I would highly recommend training at AHP and I’m so glad I found them!

Fantastic experience: I made the decision to train at Absolute Health & Performance after seeing the excellent results my husband was achieving while training there. And I must say I have not been disappointed. Our coach Finlay is highly knowledgeable, enthusiastic and has a natural ability to motivate and inspire. Thank you Finlay!!! I am feeling stronger and more confident than I have in a long time.

Fantastic experience: We love Absolute. The trainers are all great, our program has been tailored to us in an engaging way. It a clean and fresh environment and friendly too. It has been easy to commit to twice weekly sessions, which have really changed our health and fitness. Recommended!

Fantastic experience: A great place to rehab and train. Hugh, my trainer ,is fantastic -caring, knowledgeable and creative in how he approaches each 45 min session. The atmosphere in the gym is casual and fun which makes going there an absolute pleasure! I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Over the course of the last 3 years Tom Daniel has single handedly taken my slim and soft never-set-foot-in-a-gym body and turned it into a muscular machine. Over time we have overcome many of my chronic issues including lower back pain and poor posture. His attitude, attention to detail and deep wealth of knowledge are priceless. I look forward to working with him for as long as possible. I also need to thank Joel Laing for a perfect experience dealing with some tendon issues, pinpointing the exact problem area during the first session and having it well and truly on the way to being fixed by the second. Absolute Health & Fitness provide a premium service which seems expensive to the uninitiated, but is absolutely worth it if you want to see results and enjoy your experience along the way.

Fantastic experience: Have been training at AHP for a few years with Finlay who’s an excellent coach. They design programmes around what you want to achieve and are always throwing in a variety of different exercises. This was great for me since I was otherwise clueless. Never a stale session. They have also been very accommodating with any rescheduling and breaks (including relocating sessions to their premises in the city, if need be). As a result I have had sessions with Tom, Sam and Hugh in Armadale, and David, Katie and Rhuss in town, who I all recommend.

Fantastic experience: 3 months ago I was a 56 year old fat boy sloth who couldn't touch his toes. My posture was rubbish after 30 years at a desk. I had a massive back problem, and every time I picked up a tennis racquet (or did ANYthing slightly strenuous), the next day I was in Pain.....Something had to change! (Sound familiar) So in I walked to Abs. Perform and met Matt (my EP), who is highly professional and competent. 3 months later, I'm feeling really excellent every day. What a great experience I've had at Abs. Performance and I can definitely recommend them. They are expensive, but worth every cent if you're serious about living a long and happy life.

Fantastic experience: Upon previous visits Joel's knowledge as to a different approach to general physios is more effective & less visits compared to others which also helps financially. Like the fact that u can reach Joel to communicate on individual progress & give updates on conditions. Also easy to communicate with & a good listener

Fantastic experience: Hugh and the Absolute team are great trainers. Sessions are in blocks that progressively builds strength and flexibility. Hugh programmes exercises and movements that are tailored to individual clients needs, abilities and goals. There is a great team and great atmosphere at Absolute.

Fantastic experience: Absolute Health & Performance’s personal trainers have a passion and zeal for successfully helping clients achieve desired health and strength outcomes. I value the time I spend there and appreciate the encouragement and energy Sam Dunn (my present trainer) brings to our classes.

Fantastic experience: Finn has been helping me with my strength - especially upper body - since last year and Physio Joel did a fabulous job sorting out my knees. Thanks guys! Fiona Richardson

Fantastic experience: I recently had a total knee replacement, and through the expertise and specificity of training at Absolute Health, I now have full confidence using my new knee. My trainer Sam is always enthusiastic and dedicated to making our sessions challenging and fun!

Fantastic experience: Very glad I found Absolute Health & Performance around two months ago. From the initial interaction with Liv at reception, I could already sense the friendly culture of the team here. Exercise Physiologists Matthew Olds and Hugh Mason have developed a strength and rehab program to support my lower back pain, which complements my busy work schedule. As a health professional myself, it is evident that both Matthew and Hugh are knowledgeable, dedicated to achieving positive outcomes for their patients/clients, and do so with care and compassion. Special thank you to Hugh who goes above and beyond, providing extra resources and accountability to keep me on track of my goals. I look forward to attending my sessions at AH&P.

Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend AHF, such a lovely bunch of people but especially Tom who was so patient and really helped me to get stronger with a solid and well thought out program. I miss going as I moved state but I bill be back for sure! 5 stars Tom ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Joel is very passionate and spends quality time with you and is very informative. He teaches you great strategies to take home and feel better, mind and body. Very friendly reception staff.

Fantastic experience: I regularly use the sports massage facilities at AH&P to sort any niggles that appear from working out. The team are the best, and I would highly recommend them to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Have been using Absolute Health for sports massage for several years now, the treatments are always thorough, and give me the appropriate solution to my needs. Team are all first class in their field. Highly recommended.

Negative experience: I visited this place four times with a ruptured spinal disc. In retrospect, it was four times too many. I was experiencing unrelenting pain for months with days spent lying on the ground at home with outdoor walks every 2-3 days, for essential shopping only. Unfortunately every visit with a Senior Physio entailed only chit-chat, no actual manual treatments, no attempts to relieve pain, no massages etc. At the time I was very vulnerable and did not know any better until I went overseas to Europe where I received professional, outstanding treatments from Physios and Osteos. Not even one session went without manual treatment. I don't know if it is normal in Australia for Physios to heal patients with having chats only but my overall experience at Absolute Health & Performance was dreadful and I do not wish anyone with the level of pain I had to visit this place.

Fantastic experience: Finlay best trainer ! Good facility and high performance catered to any needs

Fantastic experience: Dedicated trainers who really know their stuff. Everyone is really friendly and helpful. Sean has been working with me for the past few weeks and he is amazing. I would highly recommend them, cannot fault them at all.
