Fantastic experience: Ben’s level of knowledge and his EP background makes him a a brilliant trainer for all levels.

Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: Ben is such a great trainer. We were looking to increase our weight training knowledge and ability and to feel more comfortable in the gym and with the array of equipment. Ben has such great depth of knowledge and is patient and adjusts to his client needs (it was me and my daughter training together at different life stages and with different goals). He’s also incredibly personable and warm.

Terry Arkey 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: This week I was playing basketball and my opponent said to me during some freethrows 'woah you're strong mate' and I replied 'thanks, I went to the gym this morning'. I wasn't quick witted enough to tell him that I do PT sessions with Ben Sharpe once a week, but if I had my time again I'd respond with that and highly recommend him to work with Ben on improving his own strength so as to make our next meeting on the court a battle of the strong men.

Justin Tolliday 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of training with Ben who has completely transformed my fitness journey. Ben provides effective workouts tailored to specific goals and take the time to explain proper form and exercise principles. I’ve been consistently challenged with new exercises that and variations to keep my workouts engaging. I’ve achieved remarkable results in terms of strength and endurance in a short period. Highly recommend Ben to anyone looking to embark on a fitness journey or take their current routine to the next level.

harry prince 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ben was clear and concise from the very beginning, when formulating a rehab strength and conditioning program tailored to my overall health, and previous conditions. His expertise and eye for detail sets him apart, and his gentle encouragement/coaching style is exactly what I needed to regain confidence in the gym. The entire program is super professional, with interactive apps and finely tuned facilities. I asked him ‘Are you gonna get me fit?’ And he just nodded and smiled. Top bloke!

Dustin Adderley 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic trainer - I’m in some of the best shape of my life and I’m 41! Of more surprise is how my range of motion has improved through strength training (and not stretching etc.). I train weekly with Ben and he writes a program for me to train twice a week on my own. Programs change monthly. Couldn’t recommend more highly.
