Live Well Health & Fitness Studio - Bondi Junction

Fantastic experience: My son has been training at Live Well in Bondi Junction for 8 months now and has very much enjoyed his sessions with Max and the team. They are Super knowledgeable and have helped his confidence around exercise and he's gained strength towards the sports he plays. We Couldn't recommend them enough.

Fantastic experience: I'm 63 and had never been to a gym before in my life so I had no idea what to expect. I've been training with Monica twice a week for over a month now and it's been excellent. The gym is small with not too many people at a time so it feels comfortable and not at all intimidating. Monica has been great with me - just finding the right amount of challenge to gradually improve my strength and fitness. I highly recommend Monica and Live Well Fitness Studio.

Fantastic experience: The LiveWell Team are true professionals at crafting your fitness journey in alignment with your goals. Having a personal trainer to keep you focused on the right strategies and techniques is critical to constant improvement and avoidance of injury. Great long term investment … better than spending money on medical bills!

Fantastic experience: Love the team at Live Well. Matt is the best trainer ever.

Fantastic experience: Have been working out there for almost a year now and am stronger in both body and mind. Great crew of trainers who make the “work” fun and bring variety to the programs every week. A great way to ensure your motivation stays high.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a lot of space and very welcoming energy! The equipment is really nice and it has everything you need. Been booking my PT sessions with Elia and it has been great. Knows when and how much to push. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I have been training with the team in Live Well Bondi Junction for 1 year now. I do mainly group training classes and was looking for something to get me out of the training rut. What I got was beyond my original expectation, hitting PBs on various exercises. Matt, Elia, and also Monika never fail to challenge and push me, whilst correcting my forms when needed. I highly recommend Live Well.

Fantastic experience: What an excellent environment for training a truly positive place for both physical and mental fitness and wellbeing.

Fantastic experience: I'm very lucky to be trained by Toby. I've never attended a gym consistently, but I was made to feel welcome in an inclusive space for people on any exercise journey. The sessions are tailored to you, and you’ll be excited to turn up each week. The best part of this gym is the banter! It’s a good balance between great conversations and a challenging workout. I’d absolutely recommend seeing Toby.

Fantastic experience: “I’m thrilled to be training with Matt at his gym! The environment is clean, professional, and welcoming. Matt’s attention to detail in creating my personalized program truly stands out. He takes the time to ensure every aspect is tailored to my goals and abilities. Training with Matt has re-ignited my excitement for fitness, and I’ve set new challenges for myself that I’m confident I can achieve. Thank you, Matt, for being the epitome of a personal trainer. Your gentle yet humorous personality makes every session enjoyable and motivating. Highly recommend!”

Fantastic experience: Live Well Health & Fitness Studio - Bondi Junction has been a great introduction to one on one personal training, for me. The studio is a good sized space and never feels crowded. The coaches are a friendly bunch who make you feel welcome and at ease when you’re working out. I really look forward to my sessions each week, as my program has been tailored to my requirements. The guidance and encouragement from my coaches Max Pardoe and Matt Mazzaferro has helped me make measurable improvements to my fitness and wellbeing. Don’t hesitate to trial a few sessions with the Live Well team. I’m glad I did.

Fantastic experience: This is a fantastic place to get high-quality coaching in weight training. The atmosphere is friendly and enjoyable, with top-notch equipment and wonderful high ceilings. Most of all, I am very well looked after by Elia and Max, who are incredibly attentive, excellent—and funny. They push me to reach my goals while making each session both enjoyable and challenging. A special shout-out to Elia for making me feel confident about lifting again!

Fantastic experience: Nice atmosphere in this small, personable gym. This is a judgement free zone where all the trainers are knowledgeable and friendly. It has a Cheers vibe to it, where everybody knows your name (TV reference for the over 50s). Even fellow clients are encouraging. The trainers will push you but never to an impossible level and you will achieve improvements week to week. Just when you think you have mastered the program. it changes. I know that’s a good thing but some days, I’m not sure if I’m happy or sad about that. I used to go to a big gym but only did group classes because weight rooms were intimidating. It’s nice to go to a place where there is none of that. I’m not a person that loves exercise but appreciate the physical and mental benefits so thanks Elia, Max, Toby and Matt for creating a fun environment and keeping me motivated.

Fantastic experience: Toby is a fantastic trainer with great sense of humor so every session is filled with laughter and a positive attitude so the time passes quickly without you even realising that you are getting a great workout. Together with the other trainers, Toby creates a very friendly environment where you instantly feel comfortable with lots of banter between all those present. Having not done any serious gym training ever and being over 50, the attention and personal approach has been amazing and I feel great and I’m stronger than I have ever been. I highly recommend Toby and the Live Well crew. You will be looked after and inspired with lots of fun monthly challenges.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to this gym for a while now, and I absolutely love it! The equipment is top-notch, always clean, and well-maintained. The location is perfect—easily accessible with plenty of parking. What really sets this place apart is the staff. They’re friendly & approachable If you're looking for a great place to work out, this gym is highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Toby provides tailored, results-driven approach with a welcoming attitude that makes workouts enjoyable. I've seen real progress thanks to his expertise and personalised guidance. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Toby at Live Well Bondi Junction for almost one year now, the gym was recommended to me by my Physio who I think was sick of seeing me so regularly for the same back issues time after time. From regular visits to the Physio to not going back even once since joining the gym is a testament to how good these guys (and in particular Toby) are. In addition to general health and fitness, being given a tailored work out to focus on strengthening my back has been a godsend. Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for one on one training with highly skilled PT’s that will work with you to achieve your goals.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to live well by Kenny my physio after breaking my elbow I had lost muscle in my arm and had little range and lots of pain . At first I found it difficult but as weeks went by it got easier and easier I now have almost full range back and realize as I am 74 years old it it is helping with my bone density . Over the past weeks I have grown close to Toby Max and the guys Max and I invented a game to make time pass joyfully we each had to describe a flag. Of a country put forward from each other Max always won .i enjoy my classes i like the personalized treatment and I feel I’m getting good results .

Fantastic experience: I've been to so many gyms in Bondi Beach and Bondi Junction. So glad I decided to give Live Well a try. Its been life changing. I can't recommend Matt enough as a personal trainer! He is truly amazing and has such an individualized approach to training that sets him apart from anyone else. From the very first session, Matt took the time to understand my specific goals, fitness level, and any limitations I might have. His personalized workouts are not only effective but also enjoyable, making each session something I look forward to. Matt's expertise and dedication are evident in the way he tailors each exercise to fit my needs, ensuring I make steady progress while avoiding any risk of injury.

Fantastic experience: Elio comes to my home and is most welcome. He turns up the pace when I need it and knows when to go easy on me when I have an injury. He is encouraging when I need that push and has a thorough knowledge of techniques and equipment usage. I can highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Great Studio! Elia is a fantastic trainer focussed very much on one’s personal goals. Always flexible and accommodates time changes when needed. Definitely a convert!!

Fantastic experience: I’d had enough of the big gyms where I was just a number. I wasn’t being shown how to lift weights correctly. Not anymore, I found Live Well Fitness. A small gym with highly trained staff. My trainer Toby gives me loads of variety in my twice weekly training sessions. I joined Live Well Fitness to gain increased strength and energy levels which I continue to achieve. It is important that I be able to comfortably carry my grandchildren as they gain weight. I recommend Live Well Fitness to all age groups, especially to seniors. Don’t be intimidated by your age. You will be welcomed and encouraged on every step of your journey.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic studio with amazing trainers. All the equipment is high quality, maintained and cleaned. The trainers (especially Toby) are professional whilst still being friendly and ensuring we push ourselves whilst still enjoying and laughing during the sessions. I’d strongly recommend this gym to anyone - regardless of your fitness level or age - as they cater to your needs

Fantastic experience: As a well seasoned gym goer I look for a spark of excitement to get down and train which can be hard after retiring from team sports. I am lucky enough to have my friend Toby and the team at Live Well Bondi Junction to relight that fire in my training. With tailored programming that ties in with my schedule and quality facilities I look forward to getting to the gym again.

Fantastic experience: Matthew and his team have been my personal trainers for years now and have always pushed me to reach my goals! Awesome sessions every time! Thanks guys, highly appreciated and recommended!

Fantastic experience: Live Well is a great place to train with a team who are dedicated to helping you achieve your fitness goals and who care about your well being. With a background in dance, I never really enjoyed going to the gym, however each trainer has always kept me interested and motivated with new challenges in movement and setting new goals. Live Well has a real sense of community and all team members are approachable, knowledgeable and committed to helping you, not just with fitness goals, but with life in general.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending the Living Well gym at Bondi Junction for a few months now and can honestly say I have nothing but praise for Matt and the team of instructors. I never thought I’d one day find myself admitting I enjoyed being a signed up member of any gym. However, the attention and personal touch on the part of the training staff, coupled with their obvious experience and professionalism as well as all the requisite easy to use state-of-the- art equipment make for an outstanding experience, again and again. I joined the one hour Tuesday class that focuses specifically on supporting mobility and core strength for Parkinson’s Disease sufferers. It’s as of yet a small group but I have found it to be a welcoming environment for fellow PD veterans to get together and work out under the expert supervision of the sensitive, encouraging staff. I thoroughly recommend you come along to this class if you have Parkinson’s and have been looking for a superbly structured exercise class in the heart of Bondi Junction.

Fantastic experience: Q: How did I discover Bondi Junction LiveWell Boutique Gym? A: I was scrolling through Facebook and I came across Matt's promotional video. Q: What was it about the video that sparked your interest? A: Matt's (and Live Well's ) message about the importance of fitness, wellness, flexibility and maintaining physical strength for anyone over their 50s+ age-range, struck a chord and made a lot of sense. Also, I had in the past, joined a gym ( Fitness First, Spring St, Sydney), however, I didn't understand that the reason for joining a gym ( having a personal trainer), just " to get fit, " in the end, wasn't enough. What I didn't understand then, but understand now, was, that (all) gymnasiums are set up for: 1. Those who already are involved in some organised sport & probably have had a trainer organise a weight programme for improving strength etc. 2. Because of their sport, they have worked out their own suitable weight-training programme, 3.Or, they already have a specific, organised routine, to achieve particular clearly defined aims. Most gyms only promote the idea of " go to a gym & get fit, " they don't highlight what a person really needs to know. Q: Why Live Well and not other gyms? A: We need motivation and to be motivated. Only a very tiny minority of people can continually motivate themselves. We also need outside motivation & encouragement. This is where Live Well comes in, giving you constructive positive reinforcement: Your trainer guides you through each movement. If you have any difficulty or if you find, for some reason, you can't perform a particular set, they can always find some other set, to achieve results. You can ask your trainer; why you are doing this exercise & its purpose; they'll happily explain. Q: What's so special about Live Well? Well, all their training programmes are based on movements: lifting, carrying, pulling, pushing and any other physical exercises, we as children indulged in. But also with weights. I do two half-hour programmes a week: each time I complete my training session, I feel I've run round the oval & run up & down stairs, more than once. The exercises aerobic, designed to progressively build up strength, flexibility and always leave you feeling you have achieved a great deal each session.

Fantastic experience: Live Well Health & Fitness Studio at Bondi Junction is a wonderful place doing amazing things. The team of trainers are friendly, knowledgeable, and really make you feel welcome in the gym. The facilities are top-notch and very well-maintained, with lots of equipment available to suit any fitness level or workout style. The personal training that I receive is challenging but motivating. The trainers are always on hand to provide guidance and support to improve your health holistically. Overall, I highly recommend Live Well to anyone looking to improve their overall health. It's clear that the team here is passionate about helping people reach their fitness goals, and they go above and beyond to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone.

Fantastic experience: Exceptional Fitness Instructor Focused on Holistic Health and Strength Training I had the pleasure of training with Toby, an exceptional fitness instructor who truly understands the importance of identifying strengths and weaknesses when it comes to lifting weights safely. As a middle-aged man looking to incorporate weightlifting into my fitness routine for longevity and overall health, Toby's guidance has been invaluable. What sets Toby apart is his holistic approach to fitness. He doesn't simply focus on exercise alone; he considers the whole picture of what it means to be healthy. Toby takes the time to understand my goals, limitations, and preferences, ensuring that my weightlifting routine is tailored to my specific needs. Toby's expertise in assessing the right level of weight for each exercise is remarkable. He pays careful attention to the balance between challenging me without pushing me too far. It's evident that he understands the importance of progressing at the right pace, never allowing me to lift weights that are too heavy or too light for optimal growth. Not only is Toby incredibly knowledgeable, but he is also a great communicator. He explains the proper techniques and form in a clear and concise manner, making sure I understand how to execute each lift safely and effectively. His attention to detail is commendable, as he consistently provides constructive feedback to help me improve my performance. Moreover, Toby's dedication to my overall well-being is remarkable. He emphasizes the importance of incorporating other elements, such as nutrition and recovery, into my fitness journey. His guidance extends beyond the gym, and he provides valuable advice on maintaining a healthy lifestyle outside of our training sessions. I can confidently say that training with Toby has had a significant positive impact on my fitness journey. His passion, knowledge, and commitment to helping me achieve my goals are truly inspiring. If you're looking for a fitness instructor who not only excels at identifying strengths and weaknesses in weightlifting but also takes a comprehensive approach to your overall health, I highly recommend Toby. Thank you, Toby, for your outstanding support!

Fantastic experience: Following surgery I wanted to build my strength and regain health confidence. That’s what I got when I started training at LiveWell with Toby. Improving body strength for me meant focus on ankles, legs, core muscles that help me move better - thanks to the individualised program and positive environment the results came quicker than I expected. I love how the exercise programs are prepared ready to go when you walk in the door. The gym environment is spacious and well organised, with one-on-one coaching there is no crowding and best of all the convenient location means I easily include my gym visits into my daily routine. I highly recommend LiveWell and Toby as your trainer to anyone who is looking to improve their health in a positive supportive environment.

Fantastic experience: 6 months in my fitness levels are up and I’m noticing the changes. It couldn’t have happened without commitment of Toby Bertola providing me with a dynamic workouts for each session challenging my limits and pushing my boundaries - Big Thanks Toby!

Fantastic experience: From the moment I walked into the gym I felt welcome. The trainers are all very professional and friendly. Toby in particular is a very good trainer, with a wealth of knowledge and a kind, supportive and professional manner, I highly recommend him as a PT. The space is not huge, but it is fully equipped, very clean and has a good energy. I would definitely recommend this gym as a great place to find very professional personal trainers, and to connect with a lovely community of people.

Fantastic experience: Posting on behalf of Diane: "I’ve been training at Live Well Health & Fitness Bondi Junction first with Matt and later with Toby. They are both the nicest and such professional coaches and nothing is too much trouble for them and they have bent over backwards to accommodate anything that I have asked for. Their studio is so welcoming, everyone is so friendly and I look forward to going each week. It is also in such a great location and the equipment is state of the art. They have tailor made programmes for me that are both challenging and so enjoyable and each week I feel stronger. I highly recommend this gym. Five stars "

Fantastic experience: A great personal training gym. Friendly, knowledgeable trainers. Never been fitter.

Fantastic experience: Live Well Health & Fitness studio is a fantastic place to get your fitness groove on right in the hub of Bondi Junction. The beautiful space is ultra-modern and features top-notch equipment and amenities to support any and all of your fitness goals. Right from when you walk in, you are immersed in an extremely welcoming environment free from judgement. Matt, the Director, always keeps the clients’ best interests at heart. I’ve never felt pressured to extend my contract and the highly personalised programs keep me free from injury. Not “money driven” but rather client focused, the team at Live Well are highly proficient, friendly and creative. No work out is ever the same. I cannot say enough about my own personal trainer Shirin. I'm completely new to weights and Shirin has guided me in a professional and easy-to-follow manner. Her knowledge of fitness is impressive and is communicated in a clear way. Further, Shirin’s approach is all-encompassing rather than just being contained to our 30 minute sessions. She gives me advice to support me daily in achieving an overall healthy lifestyle, which I am confidently attaining thanks to her invaluable role in my health and fitness journey. I highly recommend Live Well to anyone and everyone regardless of fitness level.

Fantastic experience: It’s a rare gem! Great studio with all new equipment, personalised programmes and a very friendly and helpful crew.

Fantastic experience: I love training with Toby at Live Well. As someone who gets quite intimidated in big gyms, I feel so comfortable at Live Well knowing there will only ever be a handful of people in there at one time - it pretty much feels like a private gym experience!

Fantastic experience: Elia is a wonderful guy. If you need a help, he's more than happy to help you.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Mat and Elia for the last 6 months and I’m feeling great.I’m feeling so strong and energetic, I couldn’t recommend this place more great team and fun environment.

Fantastic experience: I ve enjoyed every session. It’s been over 6 months and I’m there every week. My PT is very knowledgeable and keeps me motivated to feel and look my best.

Fantastic experience: At 72, thought my osteoporosis meant active days were over. Osteofit with Shirin changed that. She's fabulous and I have my confidence back.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Live Well for just over five years now at the Kogarah Studio. Now that they’ve recently opened in Bondi Junction I’ve moved my personal training here. Matt, Chris and the rest of the team have been integral to my success in being the fittest and the strongest I have ever been in my life. It’s not just the training but the sense of care and community that the guys bring to the table. I’ve met so many inspiring people and hopefully I’ve been able to inspire some to achieve their fitness goals as well. I highly recommend joining Live Well if you want to change your life for the better.

Fantastic experience: Great programming and great place to workout!!!

Fantastic experience: Great studio with new equipment and personal attention. Flexible with session times and the type of workout you need. Matt and his team really know what they are doing and make sure you understand how to perform the right movements. I've been going for 6 weeks now and can see progress each week.

Fantastic experience: Has several outstanding PT sessions with Matthew to develop my strength & balance. Highly recommend, great studio
