Mornington Fitness

Fantastic experience: Just brilliant, thanks Jay! Welcoming, encouraging, adaptable, convenient, empowering. Both my son and I go regularly and will continue to do so indefinitely

Fantastic experience: Jay is a top level fitness & strength coach. Jay took me through a 3 week specialised program to finally get me running again. He did what many professionals failed to do.

Fantastic experience: Jay makes fitness workouts fun, the kids didn’t even realise how hard they were working, and each time they were keen to go back…13 years and 8 years. Highly recommend. Updated review January 2025- From these group sessions my 13 year old (now 14) started PT training with Jay to build fitness and body confidence for his sporting pursuits. He wanted to build fitness and core strength. Not only did he achieve what he set out to, a happy byproduct was increased self esteem and overall confidence. Transition from 13-14 years can be tricky, I really feel Jay did more for my son than just help him with fitness, can’t recommend him highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Jay is a great trainer - very patient and informative and will push you to your full potential!

Fantastic experience: I really value Jay’s holistic approach to strength and fitness, his accomodating approach with the injuries I have, and his focus on what motivates me best kept me coming back feeling strong and fit. I look forward to his positive energy every session. Thanks for a great 2024 Jay - looking forward to next year!!

Fantastic experience: When I first made contact with Jay I realised he was the fitness, strength and wellbeing coach for me. I’m benefiting greatly from Jay’s creative and challenging sessions including excellent support where my goals are becoming reachable.

Fantastic experience: Jay is fantastic! He is passionate about what he does and encourages you to push yourself and see what you are made of!! I have seen so much improvement in myself and highly recommend Mornington Fitness!

Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend Jay more highly. I'm in my 60's and Jay took the time to check through my medical conditions and tailor a program that worked amazingly well. It was a mix of stretch, cardio and strength. He changed it around each session so it never got boring. He also chatted while going through the paces which built a great relationship. From starting at a very low level of fitness, my progress was better than I thought possible. Don't look anywhere else, just go straight to Jay!

Fantastic experience: Jay has done amazing fitness work with 2 my kids. They are stronger and more confident because of it, they are now more competitive and they genuinely love he's sessions. Great work Jay

Fantastic experience: Jay has been absolutely incredible! I came to Jay wanting help to pass a fitness test. From the get go he’s been dedicated and extremely knowledgeable on how to help me achieve my fitness goals. Each session is catered to different components of the test, and if I ever want to change something up for a couple of sessions he’s always accomodating and supportive! We’ve even run a beep test a couple of times outside of hours, just so he can continue to help me achieve my goals. I would highly recommend Jay and Mornington Fitness to anyone who’s looking to achieve particular fitness goals, or even to just be a little more active!

Fantastic experience: We have been training with Jay for almost a year now , he brings passion and dedication to his training sessions, which has made all the difference in our fitness journey. Jay has taken the time to assess our fitness level, listen to our goals, and develop a personalised plan that was both challenging and achievable. Jay is always positive, motivating, and encouraging. Jay is always punctual, well-prepared, and flexible with scheduling and accommodating to our needs.

Fantastic experience: I'm so glad I found Mornington Fitness. It's a friendly unintimidating environment with classes that are varied, effective and efficient - which suits my busy lifestyle. Since joining 3.5 months ago, I've been able to attend consistently because I don't find it to be a chore, and as a result I'm the strongest, fittest and lightest version of myself since becoming a Mum 6 years ago. Thanks Jay!

Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable, experienced and work outs that suit my needs! Feelin gooood!

Fantastic experience: Our daughter signed up for a 8 week program specifically catered to netball focusing on improving strength, speed and agility. The group sessions were a highlight for the girls who loved the weekly challenges that Jay set for out for them. Jay’s encouragement and knowledge not only extended and improved their fitness and movements by 10% over 8 weeks but has encouraged them to continue on with the program over the school holidays and now in smaller group sessions. We would highly recommend Jay!

Fantastic experience: Jay is a fantastic trainer. He has a knack for getting the most out of you without being overbearing in anyway. He's a generous and friendly guy - with a real sense of perspective. He can accommodate any injuries or niggling problems you have and still get great results. I've been going to Mornington Fitness for a touch over a year now. Despite my preexisting dodgy back and achilles tendonitis, I've been able to get considerably stronger very quickly under Jay's tutelage. These days those maladies are afterthoughts. The group classes are small (6-8 people max) and welcoming. There's a real local charm about them - and a remarkable cross section of ages and body types. Once the clock starts everyone works hard and that raises the bar for all involved. I've been to alot of gyms over the years. Big chains and small training studios. I prefer the latter and Mornington Fitness is one of the best I've come across. I would recommend them to anybody without hesitation. Great stuff.

Fantastic experience: We noticed that the exercises were challenging which we enjoyed. Sessions flowed smoothly, lots of fun!

Fantastic experience: Superb personal training with activities that are tailored to individuals fitness levels.

Fantastic experience: If you want a small gym with tailored personal training in the most comfortable environment you could envisage, then Mornington Fitness is for you! Jay creates a welcoming atmosphere in combination with the professionalism to match. This home gym is fully equipped and aesthetically pleasing with lots of natural light. Jay is a super welcoming trainer who genuinely cares about your performance and wellbeing. When I first rang to enquire, Jay suggested a meeting. We spoke about why I needed training and what my expectations were. We discussed why previous gyms did not work for me and he highlighted the changes necessary to not fall back into poor habits. I outlined my health concerns and Jay has remained flexible and empathetic, allowing me to make changes to our schedule without being charged cancellation. In addition, Jay is perceptive of my moods and energy levels and thus tailors the session to fit my limitations. He is challenging but not pushy, inspiring but not demanding. Jay is the best trainer I have had.

Fantastic experience: Since joining, I haven’t looked back. Jay and the team are focussed professionals with one goal in mind. My fitness! Its been hard work, but a lot of fun too. I highly recommend Mornington fitness to anyone who wants to see results and enjoy the journey.

Fantastic experience: As a parent of 2 boys that are trained by Jay, Jay and his team are knowledgeable on training & nutritional needs of the younger/ still developing body. Their fitness and stamina have improved and Jay is very encouraging & supportive of their goals. Jay encourages a healthy mindset for competitions & is a great role model for teenagers Thoroughly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Jay is a highly motivated trainer who has a real passion for what he does, he has helped me recover and manage knee arthritis which has helped life in so many ways. Our performances are regularly tracked which I really love. I would highly recommend to those who are looking to join a great community environment and better health and fitness.

Fantastic experience: Jay is a fantastic trainer. He's helped me immensely with reaching my fitness goals. He's very attentive so I always feel safe with workouts and plenty of variety to keep up motivation as well as targeting those weaker areas. Would recommend for anyone looking to improve their health and fitness!

Fantastic experience: Joined MF a couple of months ago after 2 years out of the gym. Jay has been great and eased me back into it, making sure my form was good before pushing me beyond my comfort zone. Really great atmosphere. Everyone I have met training is encouraging and friendly. I’m enjoying training, even at 6am, and getting so much more out of it than gyms where you work on your own. Jay loves to share his knowledge on fitness and diet and takes a genuine interest in the lives of his clients.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I use “Mornington Fitness” to train under the expert guidance of Jay. We find the work outs so beneficial and Jay is a calm and reassuring presence towards guiding and inspiring us both to do our best……We enjoy the training immensely as well as it being so much fun!

Fantastic experience: Jay is one of the best in business. My go to guy when I have to regain fitness. Strength, Endurance, Diet, he helps you with everything.

Fantastic experience: Jay is great with beginners and steadily increases your level of fitness, great knowledge of all things training and nutrition. Given me more confidence to achieve my goals. Great vibe

Fantastic experience: Love the dedication that Jay has for helping one achieve their fitness goals! Been coming to Mornington Fitness for strength training and week in and week out continually see improvements ✔️

Fantastic experience: When I started with Jay, I had very low confidence about my ability to improve my fitness. Jay’s ability to tune in with my unique needs and tailor our sessions to match my ability and confidence level has surprised me. It’s the first time in years I’ve enjoyed exercising again and I was feeling and seeing the benefits within weeks. I can highly recommend Jay as a personal fitness trainer.

Fantastic experience: Being a member at Mornington Fitness is being part of a friendly, happy and relaxed close-knit community! It is so much more than a gym - it is a space where we download about our day, support each other and laugh!! And while the well-being vibes are abundant here, Jay is also excellent at pushing you to your sweet spot and beyond, so that we continue to grow and be challenged. Jay has also created a tranquil and breezy space with views of his turquoise pool, landscaped garden and majestic gums, and has well maintained and clean equipment and machines. I love this gym!! !

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love training with Jay. I’d never been interested in gyms before, then I discovered Mornington Fitness and never looked back. Jay has helped me gain my confidence and been there to help at all times with my training journey. From someone who disliked gyms and working out to someone that loves it and misses the place if I can’t get there. All within a few months and all down to Jay

Fantastic experience: We're a husband and wife team who train twice a week at Mornington Fitness, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. Jay is an expert fitness professional who has crafted a unique program for us that incudes cardio, weights and broader wellbeing. He takes great care to design each and every workout to build our fitness at the right pace, stretching us just the right amount and acting as our accountability partner to help us achieve our goals. Jay has a huge exercise repertoire and brings something different to every session, helping us move our bodies in ways we don't behind a desk or hunched over a computer. Every workout is different, which keeps us interested, engaged and constantly challenged. We've established a great relationship with Jay and have found him to be a friendly, skilled and passionate PT who has taken the time to understand our strengths and limitations, and educated us about health, fitness and wellbeing. The Mornington Fitness gym is bright and welcoming, and there's nothing like a great PT to monitor your progress and keep you honest! We always walk out of a session with Jay feeling refreshed and positive, and that counts for a lot. Mornington Fitness has our strongest recommendation.

Fantastic experience: I have absolutely loved training with Jay! Unlike so many in the fitness industry, Jay has a holistic approach; with a big emphasis on setting goals outside of weight loss, focusing the mind and getting into the right head space to achieve the goals set. We talked nutrition, worked with his on staff dietician to clean up my diet and look at long term nutrition goals, not just what will see quick results. Training at Mornington Fitness isn't just for a quick fix, it's a lifestyle change, and one that has seen so many incredible benefits already for me and my family. Thanks Jay and Kasey!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Jay at MF for about 2 months it’s fantastic, the sessions are great and the service is over and above what I expected. Thanks to Jay and his team I’m on track with my fitness journey and kicking goals!!

Fantastic experience: I great small group and personal training facility run by Jay who fills you with confidence and knowledge. It’s now located in Mount Martha and is awesome for achieving personal goals and enjoying a great sense of community. You definitely don’t get lost in the crowd here.

Fantastic experience: I was not one for exercise but Jay at Mornington Fitness has made me feel comfortable & set a realistic goal for me to achieve. I feel the best I have in a long time & the other members are friendly & inclusive. Jay has been helpful in a holistic approach to getting healthy & fit & I can honestly say I am enjoying exercise for the first time ever.

Fantastic experience: Jay obviously has a passion for what he does, from the immaculate studio and equipment to the care an attention he gives to your individual training needs. It just a great place to go! Jim

Fantastic experience: I chose Mornington Fitness as one of my places to go to for mental and physical health. It is a small gym where you are treated as a PERSON not a number. Because it's a smaller gym we all train together like family and working together as a team. Mornington Fitness has a variety of workouts at various times. Either bodybuilding or cardio/fitness. Jay is a great hands on Personal Trainer making sure technique is right. Very Important. If done incorrectly can cause injury and not getting full benefit from the exercise.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I started with Jay about a month ago and are enjoying it heaps. It is professional and fun. Good Things are happening.

Fantastic experience: Since starting training with Jay I have stopped dreading exercise, I actually look forward to it! Great friendly atmosphere I won’t go to anyone else. :)

Fantastic experience: I had hit a stage at my previous gym where I lost motivation and was seeing no gains. This when I moved across to @morningtonfitness, working with Jay in a small group I soon got my motivation back and got the gains I was looking for and that was about 4 years ago. The variety in the sessions and Jays drive and passion keeps me coming back.

Fantastic experience: Best trainer on the peninsula!

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Mornington Fitness with Jay for 18 months and cannot recommend this place enough! Prior to Mornington Fitness I had always struggled with the gym environment finding it incredibly intimidating but have found Mornington Fitness an absolute breath of fresh air everyone is incredibly friendly & encouraging not matter what your fitness level ... Jay is an incredible trainer welcoming, supportive, knowledgeable, positive, works you hard every session an absolute professional .... I feel so lucky to train with Jay at Mornington Fitness!!!

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy Mornington Fitness. Jay is a great PT. I would recommend Jay to anyone interested.

Fantastic experience: I started training with Jay at Mornington Fitness in 2018 after I had gained a few too many kilos from long hours at work and worsening mental health. I began to dread exercising and wasn’t mixing it up very much! Training with Jay 1-2 times a week helped me push myself to my limits, helped me gain body confidence again and gave me something to look forward to each week! He also taught me the value of changing your mindset in order to change your body and the importance of having a positive outlook on training! Training with Jay also allowed me to make long lasting friendships and push myself by having others to support me. Thank you Jay for what is invaluable training and mind-body skills! I couldn’t recommend Jay and Mornington Fitness enough over any other gym!! Jay has continued to provide tips and programs to me throughout the Melbourne lockdown and my body has only become stronger and fitter. I’ve now lost 7 kilos and feeling stronger than ever! Looking forward to training again soon!

Fantastic experience: Been training with Jay and his team for the last 5 years. Cannot recommend this business enough. Jay is very hardworking and a true professional. Jay and his team work with clients meticulously to achieve short and long term goals. Jay never stops following up and offering correct advice at all stages of the training journey. I am so impressed that during this challenging time when we cannot get to the gym, Jay still calls and follow ups to see where I am with my training each week. I have learnt over the years that this is what he lives for and it is not just a business, it’s his passion to help people live a healthier lifestyle. So, if you are thinking to boost your fitness and health goals, Jay is your man.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have been training with Jay for nearly 2 years and he is fantastic. He takes the time to listen to what’s important to you, what goals you want to achieve and then helps you put together a successful plan. If you put in the work you will get the results with Jay!

Fantastic experience: This gym and it’s people are amazing. You won’t find anything quite like it, such a friendly, fun and motivating group. Jay and his team are super knowledgeable about all things health and fitness. They’re very encouraging and will have you sweating it out, smashing goals and PB’s in no time as well as having a great time with an awesome group of people as you go. There’s always a great variety of exercises and fun new & challenging drills to try to keep you motivated. Can’t recommend it enough!!!

Fantastic experience: The team at Mornington Fitness are very dedicated to getting the most out of you. They will push you to be the best that you can be by presenting not just a well balanced routine but also fun and enjoyable for all of those involved.

Fantastic experience: If you need a push and motivation, Jay is your trainer. I've been with Jay for 3 years, training outdoors and indoors. I've definitely maintained my fitness and health if it wasn't for Mornington Fitness. *FIST PUMP*

Fantastic experience: I have been a client at Mornington Fitness for over 12 months. Jay's ability to provide training and programs to suit your goals, tracking your progress and changing up routines shows his commitment to his clients and focusing on them as an individual. Mornington Fitness is a family not just another training studio. I highly recommend it to anyone or the whole family to do it as a group. Anyone with any or no fitness level would be more than welcomed.
