TIGHTEN UP

Fantastic experience: After participating 28days challenge, my lean body mass finally has gond up to optimal level. What I’ve learnt, right diet is so important to build up muscles as exercise. Another thing is, clean eating is so easy and sustainable. I’ll continue with this list, may adjust a little bit but as a structure it worked very well on me. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Thank you to Jewelz and Zack for all your support. As a post menopausal woman needing to do strength training but who has always hated gyms I can strongly recommend the team at Tighten Up St Kilda to help overcome obstacles at any age and nuture self belief!

Negative experience: Very disappointed with the service and in particular trainer Phuong for her lack of knowledge and care during my experience. Won’t be recommending anyone

Fantastic experience: Great group of people and PTs Julez inspires and promotes a inclusive environment no matter where ypu are on the journey

Fantastic experience: TightenUp is a small but mighty gym. Thank you Jewelz & Phuong for your care and dedication in assisting me to achieve my strength training goals. I couldn’t recommend the TightenUp Team more! Keep up the fabulous work.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at tighten up for around a year now and couldn’t be happy with the progress I’ve made. I work as a chef so my roster changes regularly but nothing is ever too much of an issue for Jules to make it work. Jules, Phuong and Zack and others have always gave me encouragement and support with my training and I’ve never felt overwhelmed or intimidated stepping foot in the gym, even coming in as a complete beginner. I came to tighten up because I wanted to gain strength and build muscle as I always felt I was a skinny guy, it’s been great to have a team of people who can help me achieve my goal and guide through the sometimes ups and downs especially with nutritional advice too. Now friends are saying I look great and can see the results too. I feel fitter, strong and more confident than ever. I couldn’t recommend tighten up enough and can’t wait to carry on my journey with them.

Fantastic experience: Tightenup had given me the enormous gift of falling in love with exercise. I was not a fan of working out, and was worried about my existing injury-living with very limiting beliefs. But tightenup changed it all. I now have a habit of working out more than 3 times a week. It takes time, but at tightenup, you have the best people that make the biggest difference. And I mean the trainers team led by Jewelz, but also your fellow trainees. Together, they are the most beautiful people you can imagine. You will feel empowered while having fun. If you are looking for a place that would turn exercising into a sticking habit for you, you have just found it. Enjoy.

Fantastic experience: BEST GYM. Jewelz and her team at Tightenup are the best. They have a great knowledge of the exercises and how to cue them. The classes are engaging and challenging. I feel stronger than I did 10years ago.

Fantastic experience: I am an engineer wi the not much time on my hands. I chose Tighten up, because of the small groups, the early and short sessions and because is close to me. It is the first time I stick to an exercise routine, cause everyone has been really nice to me, Jules keeps me motivated and I just love to go.

Fantastic experience: Now entering my 3rd midlife crisis, I came to the realisation that I needed a mentor to guide and keep me focused on my health. Thankfully, I have found Tighten Up. The team are local and have been welcoming and thoughtful in how I approach both my exercise and daily habits. (especially the bad ones) The plan is to reboot my good habits that seem to have left me. Only 4 weeks in and I am aware of improved strength and stability. Cardio remains my biggest challenge… I’m a work in progress and enjoying the journey.

Fantastic experience: We joined this gym a couple of years ago after being stuck on a couch throughout lockdown! We just picked this by chance as it was local and had excellent reviews, this turned out to be exceptional luck. All the trainers and members are so welcoming and we feel right at home when we walk through the doors. The class and 1 on 1 training times allows me to fit everything around my work in education. The results have been remarkable, not just with general fitness but in mental health as well. They have also assisted my recovery with a couple of injuries I have had during my time here and I can not recommend their support enough. This is by far the longest amount of time I have remained a member at one gym which is testament to their business and the environment they create.

Fantastic experience: I've been at Tighten Up for over a year now and started training when I had a shoulder injury. They helped me with programs designed around what I could and couldn't do and were always there to help along the recovery journey. Jewelz and her team of trainers really know what they are doing. (And are some of the nicest and dedicated people around!) If you're looking for a small gym with a personalised program matched to your needs, I cannot recommend this place more highly.

Fantastic experience: I joined this after gym after seeing the amazing reviews, and let me tell you they are correct! I was in very bad shape starting here after covid and the improvement I have seen is fantastic. All of the staff are amazing and so good about you setting your own pace. Love the group training classes!

Fantastic experience: I love working with Jewelz from Tighten Up. She makes exercising fun, helps me work towards my goals and makes me want to do better each session. Highly recommened!

Fantastic experience: I first started working with Jewelz over 10 years ago but circumstances had me have a break until last year. What I can say is that Jewelz has really kept up with contemporary workout ideas and strategies. The studio is so well run - you’ll not find a more professional gym. As I was returning from injury, the care and attention given to me was first class. No matter what your motivation to visit this studio, you’ll be treated as an individual and leave feeling heard, supported and maybe a little bit sore (in a good way)

Fantastic experience: Amazing set, awesome staff and just an all round great place to train and achieve your goals.

Fantastic experience: What a great team at Tighten Up! They work you hard, but there are smiles and laughs along the way, a more supportive environment you won’t find!

Fantastic experience: I started working with Jewelz and her team at Tighten Up in January 2021 and their expertise, professionalism, patience and positivity have helped me through Melbourne's endless lockdown. I was a complete novice but Kavisha and Phuong have been amazingly supportive and welcoming. Tighten Up has such a wonderful feeling of family and I have really missed this connection throughout lockdown. As for the results: I'm over the moon with my progress and feel fitter, leaner and stronger than I have for 25 years. They know their stuff and how to look after oldies like me! Thanks Guys!

Fantastic experience: I started with Tighten Up in Oct 2020. Initially started so I could lose some kilos to fit into a bridesmaid dress (which I wore and felt fabulous in 3 months after starting!). Jewelz and Kavisha are so knowledgeable!! They give me so much variety in my workouts and help me stay on track to achieve achieve my fitness goals (100kg deadlift, chin ups, weight loss). They’ve also been a big source of support during Covid. Keeping the workouts going and always up for a chat. Since joining Tighten Up I definitely feel more me again!! So much stronger both mentally and physically.

Fantastic experience: I hate exercise. But I love going to Tighten Up! The staff are ultra friendly, attentive and professional and I feel taken care of. And I like the small group classes as a compromise between one on one training and large classes. These people make going to an exercise class fun for me, and believe me, that is a major achievement and is definitely worth five stars.

Fantastic experience: Julie and the team are helpful in providing good quality coaching both in the gym and on the occasions via video conferencing - for in home workouts. The current pandemic has not been easy, and they have accommodated the changes in schedule well.

Fantastic experience: This place is fantastic. Professional staff who know how to push you just hard enough. Varied workouts to keep things interesting. And a friendly and relaxed vibe. I'd spent five years without a regular gym as I couldn't find one that I liked enough. Jewelz and her team have helped me get back into regular exercise and restored my previous level of fitness. Highly, highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Love everything about this place. Great owner, great staff, great clients. These guys just don’t train you to look good, it’ much, much more than that, words can’t explain it, you need to feel it & experience it then you’ll know what I’m talking about about.

Fantastic experience: Tighten Up fitness is like no other ‘gym’ I have been to before, as it’s not. This studio is a community with professionals running the show. I have been attending here for over 4 years frequently and am still pushed and challenged in my workouts. The physical strength I have gained is something I never thought would ever be possible. The team here are experienced, engaging and very friendly. It’s like be part of the family. The studio is beautifully fitted out with all the modern equipment with regular scans and checks to keep you on your targets. I have moved house since I first joined but travel the extra distance because I love it here so much!

Fantastic experience: Jewelz is so much more than just a personal trainer, she genuinely becomes a friend and family. She cares about what is going on in your personal life and works with you to figure out what suits you best. I literally looked the best I ever have and was in the best shape ever whilst going to training at Tighten Up. The other PTs also become your friends and it’s a real friendship. Jewelz is as invested in your goals as you are and pushes you to be the best version of yourself.

Fantastic experience: What a great gym to help you get back to being fit and healthy after months of lockdown. Thanks team

Fantastic experience: Simply the best. Best staff, best culture, best facilities, best knowledge, best training environment.

Fantastic experience: I am 47 and in IT. I spend most of my days sitting at a desk not terribly mobile and I just felt I needed to do something to get moving. I am not good at motivating myself and needed help to just get more active. I could not get far to train so I had to have an online option that would allow me to do a workout and still get to work on time. I started with Tighten up fitness online once a week through a zoom call and I am feeling much better. Just getting more active with Tighten Up gave me confidence to do more work on my own. I also was motivated to start eating better and making healthier choices. I am starting to have more energy and keen to be more active. I would highly recommend Tighten up if you need that little bit of motivation and to remove the excuses you give yourself for not starting.

Fantastic experience: The best place to work out! Jewelz and all the trainers are very knowledgable and genuinely great people to be around. You are given lots of support to reach your goals and the body scanner is very motivating. A beautiful, boutique gym to train in with a lovely atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: After a couple of months of lockdown it’s great to be back in the fantastic facility at Tighten Up. The comprehensive range of equipment and accessories, enhanced hygiene measures and space for distance between clients are well thought through and do not inhibit training at all. In fact they give us a greater peace of mind and confidence in going in to the gym. When Covid 19 forced the closure of gym facilities, Jewelz was (as always) extremely proactive in providing online training for us with no interruption to our fitness schedules. We were able to borrow basic equipment to use at home and the workouts were perfectly tailored to the altered conditions. The Zoom sessions proved to be very effective and a lot of fun. I have chosen to do a mix of online and in-facility sessions going forward. The flexibility and attention to detail demonstrated by Jewelz and her team are second to none. The individual requirements of each client are always met so that we get the most out of our training. I couldn’t be happier. Chris Grey. 63 years old. Tighten Up client of 9 years.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy the atmosphere here. Felt welcome straight away and enjoy everytime I attend either in person or virtually

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved what I achieved working with Jewelz and her team. Virtual world of home work-outs were just as effective. I loved the minimal equipment needed while still getting a great workout. The support I received, as well as feeling apart of a great encouraging team was just what I needed. Thanks so much for everything Tighten Up!!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love Tighten Up!!! The workouts are awesome and the instructors always provide easier and harder options to cater for all levels of fitness. It feels like a very personal workout on Zoom as the instructors can see your form etc and make corrections where necessary. The Tighten Up community is awesomely friendly and united, even though most of us haven’t physically met. Tighten Up via Zoom is seriously the only thing which has kept my fitness going through the Covid lockdown! I really look forward to my workouts... best home workouts ever!

Fantastic experience: Love our sessions with Juelz and co. Always changing it up and keeping us on our toes.

Fantastic experience: I started PT at Tighten Up a few months ago and started seeing results almost immediately. At the time of writing I've almost achieved my goals and am feeling healthy, strong and fit thanks mainly to these workouts. In the last few months Jewelz has transformed the space with new equipment and a snazzy facelift. Workouts are great - varied, fun and just the right degree of difficulty. Jewelz is terrific and is in the process of building an excellent team to complement her skills. I highly recommend this fitness studio.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience with Tighten Up. Knowledgeable staff and very supportive of goals.

Fantastic experience: Jewelz and the team at Tighten Up are excellent. They create a fun atmosphere, are solid trainers and great people :) I’ve been coming for 9mths, very happy with my progress and the way my training has been tailored and adapted over time to my goals. Looking forward to another year!

Fantastic experience: Jewelz & the team are superb & really good at what they do, I highly recommend you check it out they really do value their clients & treat them like family & really do listen to their needs. I adore these people & love this place & the energy & vibes it gives me. Even when I had some set backs with my health in the last two years, which I must say it was a bit scary... Jewelz made me feel comfortable & confident... they kept an eye on me & guide me back to my norm whether it was in a group class or individual. Thank you guys for always listening, being consistent, attentive, kind, tough (hehehe) always uplifting & motivating me... reaching out & keepimg me updated & never leaving me behind You guys Rock! Keep up the great work!

Fantastic experience: I have trained with the tighten up crew many times over more than 10 years and would give ten stars, if I could! The team are always attentive and are understanding of any injuries or restrictions that I have had, adapting even group class exercises to suit.

Fantastic experience: As an overweight, out of condition, mature age female, I knew I had to do something about my lifestyle and was so happy to find Tighten Up to help me on my journey to better health and fitness. I’ve been coming to see the wonderful Jewelz and the team for over a year now and am really feeling better for it. The studio has gone through a fantastic transformation recently and is bright and fresh with new equipment. Each session starts with a chat and health check to ensure that the exercises planned will be suitable. I love the fact that every session is different in terms of activities and adaptive to my situation. The team push me outside of my comfort zone and makes everything enjoyable. Everyone is so friendly and supportive, and the environment makes it a safe and welcoming place to train, regardless of age or fitness level.

Fantastic experience: Never being one to enjoy exercise of any kind, I now look forward to seeing my trainer. Reaching a point where I no longer wanted to look at myself, added with chronic back, shoulder & knee problems... it was a true blessing that I walked into the Tighten Up studio. Julie is amazing!!! She knows her stuff and can work with any injuries. I leave feeling full of energy and feel better than I have in a long time... workouts are always different so getting bored is not an option... this is now part of my lifestyle. If you want to feel good while working up sweat this is the place for you.

Fantastic experience: I found this local gem and have never looked back. Jewelz & her team are knowledgeable & attentive. They put you through “controlled” paces so you either manage your injuries or stay pain free. They keep training interesting & challenging, finding every nook & cranny! They have plenty of options for payments & training, and are incredibly accommodating for all circumstances. Been going for 12 mths and still motivated and getting a lot from the training. Lovely people, safe environment, short n sweet with class times, I come away feeling energised, string & ready for whatever my day brings.

Fantastic experience: Excellent personal training and fitness classes. Top notch qualified staff who get results for all clients. A good trainer is like a good barber, once you find them, stick with them forever!

Fantastic experience: I joined Tighten ups group training sessions around 7 months ago. I have never enjoyed the gym, was struggling with my weight and needed help! I signed up for 8 weeks and thought I'll just give it a go, now i can't see myself ever leaving! From the beginning, Jewelz and Chrissy were very helpful and non judgemental of my inexperience and they constantly motivate and support me to acheive my goals. I have seen results and changes in my body shape, i am stronger and more confident but the most incredible thing is that i really look forward to heading there after work. I never thought I would be a person who enjoys the gym! I now attend Tighten up 4 times a week, 3 x group training sessions and 1 boxing class and have never felt better! Jewelz is not only friendly, kind and supportive but knowledgeable and professional. This girl knows her stuff!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been with Jewelz at Tighten Up Fitness for close to 2 years now. She has a very proactive approach to each member’s health, fitness and well-being. She identifies what goals you wish to achieve and designs the most effective pathway to follow in order to get there. Not only does she set you achievable health and fitness targets, she ensures you stick to them. She will hold you accountable, which is more than you could ask of any fitness coach. Its great crew to train with.

Fantastic experience: I look forward to my small group session with Jewelz every week ! Jewelz has so much knowledge of the industry. Always prompt, motivational and ready to go as soon as we walk through the doors. Every session is different, intense and FUN !! I always leave feeling great and energized....sometimes that can't be said for the day after :-) Would highly recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Jewelz is a very knowledgeable and effective trainer, and truly a lovely person. She pushes me to work my hardest and is committed to helping me meet my fitness goals. All-around great trainer!!

Fantastic experience: I've been training one-on-one with Jewelz for over 2 years. Excellent personal training every time. Jewelz clarifies your goals with you and makes sure you stick to them. Always friendly, approachable, supportive, motivating, knowledgeable and well organized - not to mention keeping a close eye on your form. She embraces your fitness journey with you. Everything I'm looking for. She answers all my health and fitness questions each session - and I'm full of questions. Jewelz is ready and waiting to start my session, equipment sorted, from the moment I walk in the door. No hesitation, straight into it, which is what I asked of her from day 1. She has delivered ever since. Great workout guaranteed every time so you earn that post-workout protein shake. Highly recommended. I'm no gym junkie but I do enjoy my workouts with Jewelz. I'm the fittest and strongest I've ever been.

Fantastic experience: achieve your goals with an incredibly knowledgeable fitness professional who will get you there while really looking after you AND have fun doing it!

Fantastic experience: Jewelz is an amazing trainer. She puts her all into helping you achieve your goals and is always there to give advice. I have changed my whole mindset on food and exercise and really enjoy training now.

Fantastic experience: I am into my 2nd cycle with Tighten Up and I am absolutely inspired. I thoroughly enjoy the sessions as there is a great camaraderie that Jewelz has cultivated in the team. It is such a friendly environment to work out in, with a touch of healthy competition. Jewelz is very invested and you know she wants you to do well. Thank you Jewelz for getting me excited about my health and what I can achieve. Kudos to Christie for adding that little bit of spark during our sessions as well.

Fantastic experience: Jewelz is an amazing trainer. As an osteopath at ReachHealth, it is Jewelz that we refer to for rehab, conditioning, and weight loss

Fantastic experience: Jewelz is a fantastic trainer, she has great knowledge and an excellent motivator. As a manual therapist seeing numerous training based injuries it is so refreshing to find someone like Jewelz who understands injuries and rehab so well. After a year of training with her myself, she is my first pick of PT's and I never hesitate sending my clients to her.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Tightenup for over eight years now, I think that really says it all. Jewelz really knows how to get the best from her clients and instills the same qualities in her team. Flexibility, information, genuine concern and good fun are all part of the Tighteup experience whether training alone or in a group. I can't recommend them highly enough! Oh and I'm now 44 and have not felt or looked better in all my life!

Fantastic experience: Jewelz is an incredibly focussed trainer that not only motivates you to train hard after a long day at work, but also provides additional advice in other areas that are possibly impacting your fitness goals and progress. We actually live in Moorabbin and don't mind travelling for our personal training session with Jewelz. We could train locally, however we did not find a trainer that could match the quality of the sessions we have with Jewelz.
