Fantastic experience: Such a great place..Chris explained everything to me & made me feel Comfortable! Can’t wait to start my weight loss journey with you guys…

Fantastic experience: Fantastic team of trainers who work hard to help their clients achieve their fitness goals. I was referred to Authentic Health Studio by my physio following problems with my back and I have now regained my strength and mobility.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Authentic Health Studio for 6 months now and it has been a really wonderful experience. I was initially really nervous to start PT but Chris, Ally and the whole AHS team have been incredibly welcoming and supportive. If you're thinking of starting PT, I highly recommend Authentic Health Studio!

Fantastic experience: Authentic Health Studio is an amazing place to be, staff are absolutely fantastic, always positive and are always working hard to make sure their clients are following and achieving their fitness and health goals. Couldn’t recommend them more. Ally is the best trainer I’ve ever had!!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. Knowledgable and experienced trainers who are passionate about what they do. The sessions are tailored to my specific needs and are varied to keep training fun. This has lead to great results and exceeded my expectations.

Fantastic experience: Thank you to Tom and the team for a great experience at Authentic Health. After experiencing an injury I was introduced to the gym and the importance of strength work to support not just my injury but my whole body. Going into a gym was a new experience for me but Tom and the other trainers were really supportive, engaging and accommodating as I “learnt the ropes”. The semi private sessions are a great way to work out independently whilst feeling fully supported by a trainer. I feel so much stronger physically and mentally and are really appreciative for the training and coaching given to me by Authentic Health

Fantastic experience: I’m really happy with the friendliness of every one of the trainers, and they never make me feel any shame on those days where I can’t give it my all, and they’re always encouraging but not pushy about it. I used to be just a big fat nerd but now I’m a big (slightly less fat) nerd who can squat 100kg. And that’s cool.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member at Authentic Health Studio for the past year, and I can confidently say that their personal trainers are truly outstanding. My fitness journey has been transformed since I started working with them, and here's why: - Highly Knowledgeable Professionals: The personal trainers at Authentic Health Studio are not just fitness enthusiasts; they are experts in their field. They possess a deep understanding of anatomy, nutrition, and exercise physiology, ensuring that every workout is safe and effective. - Personalised Approach: What sets Authentic Health Studio apart is their commitment to tailoring workouts to individual needs and goals. Chris took the time to assess my fitness level, listen to my objectives, and designed a program that has helped me achieve remarkable results. - Motivation and Support: Going to the gym can be daunting, especially for beginners. The trainers at Authentic Health Studio are not only great at instructing but also fantastic motivators. They push you to your limits while ensuring you maintain proper form and avoid injury. - Variety and Creativity: One of the aspects I appreciate most is the variety in the workouts. The trainers keep things interesting by incorporating different exercises, equipment, and training methods. This prevents boredom and keeps me engaged in my fitness routine. - Progress Tracking: Authentic Health Studio uses an app to track progress, making it easy to see how far you've come. This feature has been incredibly motivating for me as I can see the tangible results of my hard work. - Friendly and Approachable: The trainers are approachable, friendly, and genuinely care about your well-being. They're always ready to answer questions, provide guidance on nutrition, and offer advice to help you reach your goals.

They've not only helped me achieve my fitness goals but also educated me about maintaining a healthy lifestyle. If you're looking for top-notch personal training, Authentic Health Studio is the place to be. I can't recommend them enough!

Fantastic experience: I have had lots of false starts with my training for more than 10 years with lots of mixed results and several injury setbacks. I knew that from my first consult that Chris was offering something that I have not experienced previously. His knowledge and attention to detail is second to none. Chris took the time to listen to my needs and I have thoroughly enjoyed the first 2 months of training with him and his team. I am very excited about what lies ahead and achieving results I never would have imagined.

Fantastic experience: Chris and the team are beyond amazing! They are constantly inspiring you to do more…to push your strength and take your fitness journey to the next level. It is all about you and how they customised the plan to your goals. I have no problem recommending Chris and team for a more personalised approach to working out. They are the best in the business!

Fantastic experience: I conducted my Queensland police fitness assessment with Chris today. Chris really went above and beyond helping me warm up and prepare for the assessment. Chris then continued the support and motivation throughout the whole process. He made time for me to conduct the test and made me feel confident and comfortable. Had a great experience and would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Authentic Health for 3 months now. What originally started as a general recommendation from a friend because of an injury has turned into so much more. I am a version of myself that I haven’t seen for many years; all thanks to the support and care at Authentic Health. No question is left unanswered nor is it a silly one. It is a truly genuine space where all the trainers want you to thrive. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first started, but from the very first initial phone consult, I could already tell this was a place that made you a priority. All staff are professional, friendly and supportive. I was given a full assessment with goal setting and Ally took the time to really understand what she could do to best support me to achieve the results I wanted. The entire team genuinely want to see their clients thrive, so much so that I am comfortable training with anyone as my schedule often changes. The gym itself is a great space and the clients are just as lovely and respectful. I owe my friend that recommended AH more than one drink and I cannot wait to achieve more things in the future with the guys by my side!

Fantastic experience: Been with Chris and the team for a couple years now, couldn’t be a more approachable lot. Always happy to answer questions and push you that bit further. Any time you’ve got an issue you’ll get the most detailed answer, based on actual research done by the team but in a way a regular person can understand. There’s always new equipment being added and new exercises to keep things fresh. Couldn’t recommend Authentic Health anymore.

Fantastic experience: Chris & the team here at Authentic health are amazing. They're genuine kind people that are great at what they do, the atmosphere is relaxed and they always make you feel welcomed. I learnt so much being here and I would highly recommend to everyone!

Fantastic experience: If your goal for 2023 is to become the best version of yourself from a physical and nutritional perspective then I highly recommend you get in touch with Authentic Health in Essendon. I recently did 4 months training with Chris and his team of PTs and achieved excellent results. I’m stronger both physically and mentally and am the healthiest I have been in years (my blood tests prove this!!) With Chris and his teams’ support, guidance, training technique and excellent knowledge on nutrition I have been able to learn so much through my journey. My mindset and relationship with food and exercise has definitely shifted and I know I will continue on this healthy journey into the future. I give this team a 5 star rating without any hesitation ! Maria

Fantastic experience: An amazing place with even more amazing people to help you reach whatever goals you set. Have loved every minute of coming here! Chris and the team are fantastic at what they do and will go above and beyond to help you in any way they can. You are not just a client to them, you become family.

Fantastic experience: Chris is an incredible PT, an expert in his field who can coach you back from injury or take you to your fitness dreams. He’s patient, kind and motivating and goes above and beyond for the well-being of his clients.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Chris as part of Authentic Health for 5 years now, he creates a supportive and collaborative environment which makes training and being health focused easy. Recently I’ve completed a 28 day life style challenge, this kept me accountable throughout lockdown and I’ve personally seen improvements in my results. I loved the group, it was always encouraging and suitable for everyone, no matter what stage you are at. I would highly recommend reaching out and discussing your personal goals and getting part of this wonderful community.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Authentic Health for a couple of years now. I was given a full assessment with movement screening, goal setting and Chris took the time to really understand what he could do to best support me to achieve the results I wanted. This is also something that is revisited on a monthly basis as the goal posts shift. All the trainers at AH share the same ethos as Chris and the entire team genuinely want to see their clients thrive. The studio is such a lovely and welcoming space and the community is also very welcoming and respectful of each others space. I recently completed a complimentary 28 day challenge which was exactly what I needed to stay active, accountable and connected. It certainly kept the momentum going which will definitely make getting back into the gym space easier once we can! Thank you Chris :)

Fantastic experience: Just completed a 28 day Challenge with Chris @ Authentic Health Studio. Chris is amazing. Insightful, informative but above all else, truly cares about your progress.

Fantastic experience: I am so glad I found Authentic Health Studio. I have been training with Chris now for two and half months and already seeing such noticeable change in my fitness and strength. From the start I new I was in the right hands. I was given a full assessment and movement screening, goal setting and Chris took the time to really understand what he could do to best support me for me to achieve the results I wanted. The studio is such a lovely and welcoming space with a very family/community feel. It's super easy to find, and parking is never an issue. I look forward to training, which is a first!

Fantastic experience: From the outset, Chris & the team have been exceptionally professional, thorough and passionate. Chris quickly identified where I needed functional improvements and created a tailored plan to help me get those results, and to further improve my overall health and wellbeing through training, diet and better thinking strategies. I am fitter, lifting stronger than ever, lifting with the correct form and technique, and continually improving. The studio environment itself is amazingly setup with a fresh vibe & new, clean equipment. You can tell these guys are the real deal the moment you walk in. Keep up the great work & thank you.
