Listen To Your Body Hawthorn East

Fantastic experience: Chris was the best. So accommodating, understanding and supportive of returning to movement after having a baby. He really understood what I needed and made space when I needed as a new mum of 2. Thanks Chris. You were much needed in a time that has limited catering for post partum mums needs! Your support in that time was very special.

Fantastic experience: Love training at LTYB Hawthorn East!

Fantastic experience: Chris ‘s focus on building training and correcting technique have made me see and feel the benefits of gym for the first time in my life . The relaxed but focussed atmosphere and Chris’s patience and good humour keep me coming back!

Fantastic experience: Thank you Chris and team. We love training with you. The format you offer is so flexible and personal, and you know just how to keep us motivated! ALWAYS feel better after a class with you.

Fantastic experience: I am making a special call out to Chris from LTYB Hawthorn. His caring, attentive, kind, understanding, Interested and interesting nature has supported me over the last 12 months to continue my training and improve my body strength and most of all I love going to the gym now. I am a 52 YO female and all of this is incredibly important on top of the actual training. I HIGHLY recommend Chris and his team. He is amazing and I never plan on leaving. Thanks for everything Chris

Negative experience: Genuinely enjoyed many elements of LTYB Hawthorn East, especially the small class size, location and the owners' style of coaching in the gym. Unfortunately I recieved several emails which questioned attendance and were passive aggressive. These were not motivational emails or open 'check ins' that sought to understand the reason why I hadn't attended. Rather, they communicated that my non-attendance impacted the business and the owners reputation Having little choice but to disclose to the business owner of a death which was impacting attendance, I received a final reply stating "I also prefer to not take money from members who don't train" which to me really lacked insight and compassion for other peoples circumstance's. Disappointing as I was keen to keep training once life had settled a little. Give this place a go, it's a great stepping stone however be prepared that if you're unable to show up "all in" from the start you'll be questioned in a less than supportive way.

Fantastic experience: I love the personal program and when needed the modified exercise. There is no judgement on How good or bad you can do an exercise, but I love to be pushed to do my utmost. Chris is an amazing and friendly coach. The groups are small so you are able to get to know those training at the same time and have a chat and a laugh. Fantastic atmosphere!!

Fantastic experience: Best Gym Ever

Fantastic experience: Great gym! I always look forward to my sessions!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love LTYB! Been training here for over a year now. Chris is super friendly, helpful, and genuinely motivating.

Fantastic experience: LTYB Gym offers dynamic group sessions with excellent PTs, Chris and Jake, and a motivating atmosphere. Highly recommend for achieving fitness goals!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to LTB with Chris since the start of the year. He is an awesome trainer as he understands my needs doesn’t shout and scream and is always happy to listen and help. I highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in shape get in shape he is a top trainer.

Fantastic experience: Love turning up for a workout and the stress of knowing or thinking what to do is taken away by Chris and i can just enjoy the workout!

Fantastic experience: This is a long overdue review. I've been attending for 5+ years! LTYB is the best gym going around. It's welcoming, it's safe for all people, it's clean and the training style is personalised. Chris and Jake are amazing trainers and always so supportive. No sitting around waiting for machines to be free in and out in 45 mins. Couldn't recommend more highly!

Fantastic experience: Great place to train! The staff are super helpful, the sessions are varied and enjoyable too.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at Listen to Your Body (LTYB) Hawthorn for a bit over two years now, and I can't imagine my life without it. The atmosphere at the studio is great, laid back and consistently focused on helping you achieve your goals. Before joining, I spent many years without being active and could barely manage the basics, but thanks to the support and guidance from Chris and the team, I feel now at a level where not much seems impossible. The physical and mental health benefits I've experienced have been incredible. I highly recommend LTYB Hawthorn.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of LTYB Hawthorn East for a number of years now and have really enjoyed the personal touch Chris and all the trainers offer. Chris knows his members well and manages to create an individual program to meet their needs. Having recently had a knee replacement Chris has managed to incorporate all my rehab exercises into my program for which I have been very grateful. If you are looking for a gym with a truly personal touch I can highly recommend LTYB Hawthorn East.

Fantastic experience: After years of trying to find a gym that matched the way I and my life work, I finally found LTYB. It's combines the commitment benefit of signing up to classes (makes sure I actually get out of bed and go) with a personalised approach matching my goals and fitness journey. It's also fantastic that there's no lock in contract and ability to pause membership. Chris and the team are great personal trainers that find a great balance of pushing capability without being over the top. Can't recommend this gym highly enough!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a long-term gym plan, then this gym is perfect. This is the only gym that can make me attend every day. The staff is very nice and supports me all the time. The members are super nice there. You should give it a try and you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: Such a good atmosphere to exercise and build some muscles!

Fantastic experience: Was never a gym person before training at LTYB, but now it’s a part of my routine I really enjoy. Chris and Jake have created such a welcoming environment with training that feels really personalised. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I love the format of LTYB classes, how personalised it is, and how friendly the environment is. Being pregnant, Chris has been amazing at crafting a program I can do and adapting my exercises each week as my body has changed. This is the only time I’ve been able to train so late into my pregnancy, which I’m very grateful for!

Fantastic experience: LTYB Hawthorn is the best gym you will find! Chris is very supportive and will create a workout specific to what you are after. I couldn’t imagine training anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: Management and staff are totally awesome!

Fantastic experience: Friendly, personalised work outs, great value, all fitness types welcome. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Originally joined Chris in Jan 2020, and while it’s taken me a while post pandemic to get my motivation back, I knew exactly where I would be training when I did. Now that I am back, I never feel pressured to do training that is ‘too hard’, love that there are no mirrors and that the classes are small and personal (and only 45mins!). Plus sometimes Chris brings his dogs along which is an added delight! If you’re not sure, just give it a go. 10/10 would gym again (see you tomorrow, Chris )

Fantastic experience: So glad I’ve found this gym community! Chris is a knowledgeable and personable trainer; he does an incredible job of remembering all his clients’ goals, preferences and any injuries, and tailors workouts accordingly. I’ve seen great progress in my strength and fitness since joining 9 months ago. LTYB Hawthorn East also seems to attract lovely, kind-hearted people. It’s the friendliest (and least pretentious) gym I’ve ever been a part of. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Listen to your body since last April upon moving to Melbourne. It’s been a great experience, I’ve met heaps of lovely gym members as well as been pushed hard by Chris. He listens to the goals you want and puts a workout plan together! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Such a warm and friendly gym. Small scale so never intimidating.

Fantastic experience: Great gym where you feel supportive and helps you to hit your results!

Fantastic experience: LTYB Hawthorn East provides a welcoming & supportive environment where no two workouts are the same! Staff are professional, members are friendly and there is a genuine sense of community.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for over 2 years now and love my workouts with Chris. Each session is catered towards individual goals and strengths and is set in small group settings.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Personalised workouts and friendly atmosphere! Chris knows each and every one of his clients and personalises every workout to help you achieve your goals. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I went for a trial session here and instantly knew it was the right place for me. Chris knows every person he trains, and any quirks each body may have. The sessions are beautifully individualised and responsive. I love being challenged in my workouts and Chris delivers, giving me something every time that pushes me without risk of injury or aggravating existing issues. I wholeheartedly recommend LTYB Hawthorn East and feel so glad to be a part of this open, welcoming and friendly community. Membership prices are extremely fair, the quality of training is superb and I will be a member here for as long as they'll have me!

Fantastic experience: Great gym first rate trainer gets it right every time just works

Fantastic experience: I came from out of the country and I will be staying in Melbourne for sometime on holidays. I came here with my partner to maintain a healthy life style and was quite impressed with the personal trainer, Chris. Christ was awesome and provided detailed workout sets throughout the session. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for someone to push and motivate you.

Fantastic experience: Went here for many years before moving towns. Chris is the best PT I have ever had. He helped me crush my goals by keeping me motivated and also accountable. Couldn’t recommend a better gym in Melbourne!

Fantastic experience: Tailored sessions that puts me through my paces and helps me realise my body/fitness goals. A supportive team, non-pretentious environment, and a great community feel with other gym goers.

Fantastic experience: I joined LTYB Hawthorn in March 2021. I’d tried three other gyms and after almost a year of being in COVID lockdown in Mel lacked motivation and energy. Two knee mishaps at the previous gyms, I decided to give LTYB Hawthorn a go when it came up on my FB feed. From the get go Chris took the time to listen and understand what I wanted to achieve and what motivates me. I decided to do take up the 1 month trial and signed up as a member afterwards. What I love is my program is personalised and dynamic every visit no matter how many times a day you go. I go at my own pace as each person trains on their own. Chris is there and available almost every session and is in constant communication checking on how I’m feeling on the day, issues with my knee or other gripes or if I want to change my focus area. Its also taught me to really listen to my body. Jake and Dan are great too and have different training styles which adds to the variety. Added bonus - It has all the benefits of personal training without the hefty pricetags. The gym is super clean and follows COVID safe practices. It also has an infrared sauna for member use at an additional cost per usage which I’ve used and great to relax the muscles. Its a lovely community aswell. Give the 1month trial a go - you’ll be glad you did!

Fantastic experience: Chris and Dan are one of the best personal trainers I’ve ever interacted with. Within a month I noticed a huge transformation of my body due to the super efficient program they have provided me with, sadly I had to move overseas, and I miss the style of training they were providing me with, and I wish they had an online platform where I could follow the same training style

Fantastic experience: Great personal experience, I’ve been kept motivated and pushing myself for the past 6 months (surprising myself), I really enjoy my sessions and do not feel intimidated at all.

Fantastic experience: Chris and Dan are wonderful trainers who personalise their classes to each individual. The studio is welcoming with great equipment which motivates you to do your best! LTYB Hawthorn East has been so much better than other (pushy) gyms I’ve been to in the past - I highly recommend giving it a try!

Fantastic experience: Listen To Your Body Hawthorn is by far the best kept gym I have set foot in. The equipment is all in great condition and is clearly well looked after both by staff and the people who come in. The structure of the gym revolves around 45 minute personalised sessions for up to 10 people at a time, allowing you to work out independently with some great guidance, taking out all of the planning of gym sessions for busy individuals, and fantastic for anyone who is unsure about how to approach working out. The trainers are truly invested in the people who come in and are approachable and friendly! They can easily plan exercises around injuries and will plan your sessions based on your goals. I highly recommend LTYB Hawthorn.

Fantastic experience: Chris and Daniel provide me with a personalised program, that helps me be the best i can be and to help me achieve my goals. Whatever your fitness level, this team will both work you hard and modify the exercises to suit where you are at right now. I have never felt more strong and fit in my life. There are no mirrors or egos in this place. Everyone there is focussed on beating their own personal best, not someone elses. If you are looking for a new gym to take you to the next level, i could not recommend Chris and his team more. They have changed my life.

Fantastic experience: I love LTYB Hawthorn East! Chris is highly professional and continues to help me achieve my fitness goals. The studio is a friendly space to come and train. As someone who doesn’t love mainstream gym environments LTYB offers an enjoyable, comfortable and supportive space to train.

Fantastic experience: Really friendly staff, I love Chris' way of training. He really encourages you to try your best every time, without feeling like you're being trained by a drill sergeant.

Fantastic experience: I hate the gym and have what I'm sure is an undiagnosed allergy to exercise. However, I have remarkably managed to attend 6 sessions a week here for the last 2 months. The format of group PT and great staff seems to work for me. If like me you're a great "before photo" model then this might be the path to some "after photo" work.

Fantastic experience: Love it! This place has become a home away from home. The workouts are tailored to your needs, abilities and goals. Chris knows each of his clients well and pushes you to achieve. The small class sizes mean you get plenty of support and guidance. It’s always a great vibe walking in to a session and booking into classes helps keep me accountable. Much more enjoyable than your typical gym session

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and lots of encouragement and support

Fantastic experience: Personalised service, great atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Chris and Nat provide a welcoming and personable environment at their LTYB studio. They care about individuals and always motivate clients to reach their goals. I'm the fittest and strongest I've ever been thanks to Chris and Nat's philosophy and way of working! I highly recommend visiting LTYB Hawthorn East

Fantastic experience: First time I’ve felt motivated to train. Personal attention and great workouts by Chris and Nat. Highly recommend!!
