Imani Transformations®

Fantastic experience: IMANI transformation is just that, a place to go where you don’t just go to gym, you go on a transformation journey. Mel and Ronnie provide a safe space and individualised programs. It’s not just about lifting weights, they truly help you understand why you are where you are, how you got there and where you need to head. I am held accountable for my journey and am learning to prioritise myself, whilst surrounded by amazing trainers and other like minded individuals.

Fantastic experience: I’ve worked with personal trainers on and off for the past 10 years, but nothing has come close to what I’ve experienced with Imani Transformations. From the moment I started, it hit me just how many things I’d been doing wrong in my training before. Normally, by the 12th week of any program, I’d feel overwhelmed—too much information at once, especially with nutrition—and I’d just want to give up. But this time, it’s completely different. I’ve finally found something that feels sustainable and, more importantly, enjoyable. I actually look forward to waking up at 5:45 a.m. to train! Ronnie and Mel have been so supportive, and their approach really makes all the difference. In such a short time, I’ve already noticed huge changes—not just in my strength, but in my confidence and overall quality of life. If you’re looking for personalised personal training that truly works, along with a supportive and welcoming community, I can’t recommend Imani Transformations enough. You won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Imani Transformations goes beyond traditional personal training by focusing not only on physical health but also on discovering the "why" behind your fitness journey and overall wellbeing. The supportive community vibe is unmatched, fostering strong, healthy relationships that inspire you to keep growing. The studio itself is a beautiful, one-of-a-kind space that energizes and motivates you as soon as you walk in. Trust and reliability are at the core of everything they do, making Imani Transformations the perfect place for anyone seeking personal growth inside and out.

Fantastic experience: Joining Imani Transformations in Lilydale has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. The sense of community here is incredible—you’re not just another number. The trainers are genuinely invested in your progress, focusing not only on workouts but also on building sustainable habits and improving overall well-being. It’s far more than just a gym; it’s a supportive space where mindset, recovery, and lasting transformation are the priorities. What really stands out is the value. For just $139 per week, I get unlimited, fully tailored personal training, plus 24/7 access to the studio. To put it in perspective, you’d pay around $120 for a single PT session at a regular gym. At Imani, you get premium, personalised support for a fraction of the cost—around $19 per session! If you want real transformation in a place that feels like home, Imani is the way to go.

Fantastic experience: Before joining Imani Transformations, I was struggling with a lot — the dad bod, love handles, low energy, and a real lack of confidence. As a man, I found it hard to ask for help, but it was starting to affect how I saw myself, how I showed up for my family, and even my business. From the moment I started personal training with Ronnie and Mel at Imani Transformations in Lilydale, everything changed. They helped me reclaim my mental and physical fitness, and now I feel stronger, healthier, and more confident than ever. Not only have I become the role model my family deserves, but my business and revenue have also improved. If you're ready to turn things around, I highly recommend Imani Transformations!!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member at Imani Transformations for several months now, and it has been an incredibly rewarding experience. What I love most about Imani is that it's so much more than just a gym—it’s a community dedicated to total body and lifestyle transformation. The environment is welcoming, supportive, and completely judgment-free, which made me feel comfortable from day one. Imani’s approach isn’t about quick fixes or cookie-cutter programs. Everything is personalised and tailored to my needs, helping me build sustainable habits that have genuinely improved how I feel, look, and function. The emphasis on mindset shifts and recovery—like managing stress and optimising sleep—sets it apart from any other fitness experience I’ve had. I also love the small-group personal training sessions, where I get expert guidance without feeling overwhelmed. The trainers genuinely care about my progress, and the program evolves with my goals, keeping me motivated. The 24/7 access to the studio is a huge bonus, too—it gives me the flexibility to train at my convenience whenever I miss a regular PT session, which makes all the difference in maintaining consistency. If you’re looking for a place that truly cares about your transformation—inside and out—Imani Transformations in Lilydale is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: I have only been with Imani Transformations for a short time, but from the moment I met Mel and Ronnie, I felt very welcome. They listen to your needs, any concerns, and are always happy to answer any questions. The studio is amazing and the members are all so lovely. At 58yrs I am loving my program and all the benefits that come with training. You’re never too old! I feel amazing I would definitely recommend Imani Transformations. Just do it!

Fantastic experience: Joining Imani Transformations has been a game-changer for me! Based in Lilydale and serving Outer Melbourne East, their personalised training programs are incredibly effective, and the support from Mel and Ronnie is unparalleled. I’ve not only seen amazing changes in my fitness but also gained confidence and a new perspective on health. The community here is so welcoming and motivating—it's like having a second family. If you’re in Lilydale or the surrounding areas and looking for real results and a transformative experience, look no further. I can’t recommend Imani Transformations enough!

Negative experience: I used their online platform to do a "free online self worth health class for physical and mental" and gave them all my personal weight loss goals my struggles with weight loss, etc, basically gave them all my info personally on their website for this "free health online course" only to be told in the end that I had to pay $100 for the so called free course and then told they cannot/do not want to help me and it is not the right timing or I'm not their "ideal customer". Do not use their online platform it sucks because they can't help you if you don't suit their business model and your not their ideal customer! I would not recommend Imani Transformations by any means!!! No weight loss program online comes quickly, or easily with high pressure high money sales tactics!!!

Fantastic experience: I can not recommend Imani Transformations enough to anyone in Lilydale who has tried everything but failed and wants more than a good body, I have not only achieved the body of my dreams, but also improved my quality of life and general happiness and continue to see results everyday. Thank you Mel, Ronnie and the entire Imani team. I am forever grateful.

Fantastic experience: its a comfortable and welcoming space for your health journey lifestyle

Fantastic experience: I have been with Imani Tribe Transformations for just over a year now and it has been the best decision I have ever made. I recall last August scrolling google trying to find a gym to help me. I was exhausted, working 55 hours plus a week, wanting to lose weight, function better and not feel so sore all the time. That’s when I came across Imani Tribe Transformations. I was immediately drawn to Imani Tribe for their Holistic approach in Transformation. I applied and remembered the nervous wait to see if I would be accepted and if they could help me on my journey to turning my life around. 12 months on and I love everything that Imani Tribe Transformations has to offer. Imani Tribe has helped me became more self-aware of my habits and emotions, they have tailored an individual program for my needs. I have since cut back my work hours so I can prioritise more time working on me, my physical and mental health. I love the support that Mel and Ronnie give us, and I also enjoy the support from the Tribe. If you have ever thought about Transforming your mind, body and soul, then I can’t recommend Imani Tribe enough. Don’t wait, apply now to start your own Transformation Journey.

Fantastic experience: Imani is very unique. I have been a member of many gyms, fitness/weight loss programs and nothing compares to what Mel and Ronnie provide. I joined Imani looking to lose weight, tone up and overall feel better about myself. Since then, Imani has helped me discover the actual weight I needed to lose was the emotional baggage that was holding me back and stopping me from reaching my personal goals. With Imani I am doing the work to become my authentic self and live my authentic life. I am building confidence in prioritising myself which not only benefits me but also all of the people I care about around me. If you are looking to explore and find a better version of yourself, you cant go past Mel and Ronnie at Imani who provide a truly unique, caring and family feeling environment.

Fantastic experience: When I decided to do the eCoaching offering by Imani, I knew I needed more than support with movement and nutrition - I needed a mindset shift. I needed to look at my health in a totally new way and that's exactly what I found - a totally different approach. None of the frantic recommendations to exercise 6 times a week, starve myself - I was sold. The lessons/course were delivered over email, the worksheets were simple and really impactful. I walked away focusing more on how my recovery and stress levels impact on my overall health I would recommend this to ANYONE. This is incredible value, and it will change your outlook on health - forever.

Fantastic experience: I have been with the Imani Tribe Transformation for over 15 months, doing both their transformation program and PT mentorship program. Mel & Ronnie know what they are doing. They are thoughtful, dedicated, passionate, empathic super-coaches & educators. They work hard to ensure their clients feel seen, heard, and taken care of. They give their time and attention generously, are joyous and passionate about what they do, and genuinely connects with people. Their excellent mix of knowledge, structure, innovation, implementation, and ability to connect make for the ideal coaching experience, be it personal coaching or PT business mentorship. Without Mel & Ronnie, my body and PT business wouldn’t be where they are today. If you're looking for help with your fitness, nutrition, lifestyle, and/ or PT business mentoring, look no further because you'd be hard-pressed to find not just one but two, more caring, committed, and courageous coaches.

Fantastic experience: I love Imani Tribe because it always seems so close and always feels like home despite training online from Tasmania for almost a year. Imani Tribe fitness might sound cliche but it’s not a gym, it’s much more than a gym. it’s not only because of their expertise in body and lifestyle but also because it’s a culture and a community of supportive people who agree to grow together. They not only teach you how to eat, what to eat and how to train but they focus on helping you overcome your deepest fears that are holding you back and replace your sabotaging habits with new habits that are aligned with your goals. I have achieved phenomenal results since starting with Imani 2 years ago, I started face to face but ended up moving to Tasmania so I made the best decision of continuing with them online, fast forward to one later.... I now have a flat tummy despite never having a flat tummy my whole life and my goal is to eventually have visible abs. The coaches Mel and Ronnie go above and beyond to support you and are always there to catch you when you fall. This is the best investment have ever made and I cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone who wants to achieve permanent weight loss and improve their health, fitness and confidence from anywhere in the world, be it online or face to face.

Fantastic experience: I was drawn to Imani through an Instagram post. I had clicked on a hashtag and all of a sudden I was watching Imani Fitness train their tribe. It looked fun, everyone seemed happy to be there and each week they turned up to train. It was like a reality tv show but with real people. I saw consistent training and I saw progress. I also saw results. As humans we are always searching for a quick fix to health, weight loss and wellness. We want to take all the shortcuts and not learn the why or the how that happened. What I have learnt is that you need to change your habits and ultimately your lifestyle to see results. You also have to be motivated to change. It’s hard because we condition ourselves to live a certain way but the more you trust the process and start to explore changing your mindset and your habits, your body responds. The exercise you struggled with 12 weeks ago becomes the exercise you most enjoy. Imani Fitness to me is a lifestyle. It is quite possibly one of the best investments I have ever made into my health and well-being and I have only just begun my journey. As an Imani Tribe member well - we are all pretty amazing. We inspire, encourage and we believe in each other. As for Ronnie and Mel, they are amazing mentors and have an amazing knowledge of the fitness industry and are always sharing their tips and tricks they learnt early on in their journey. It’s not often you see trainers that live, breathe and believe in their brand. Ronnie and Mel are like the gold you find at the end of a rainbow. I am almost lost for words in what to say but I can honestly say with my hand on my heart that I will be forever grateful for all that they are doing to help me live my best life. Xxx

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love my Tribe...we are so lucky to have the support and commitment of Mel and Ronnie who help us to be the best version of ourselves. Imani is not a gym it’s a lifestyle...you will never look back. My husband Rodg and I are thriving on creating new habits that will last us a life time. It’s a grreat community with like minded people Just do it

Fantastic experience: I've been going to IMANI for years now and its been one of the best decision ive ever made , investing in my self changed me into a healthier happier person, the trainers at IMANI are superb at what they do, they listen and tackle your specific needs, ive learned to build good habits that have transformed my body and will last a life time.the atmosphere at IMANI is very supportive and the training sessions are heaps of fun.

Fantastic experience: She wanted someone to believe Her beliefs had become long ago unfulfilled dreams She ached for encouragement Her “that a girl” was silent to her own ears Her self worth was wrapped up in so many other people She had forgotten HERself Her life looked image perfect yet she felt every imperfection reflected - like knives to her personality She was anxious but proved to all her bravery - except herself She was living a double life, whilst slowly killing herself with words, thoughts and feelings She knew she was meant for more She used to shake, rattle and roll She could bring a room to their knees laughing She made the first steps, filled in the long form and for once was honest With herself - oh how hard and hurtful that was She wanted a big and beautiful life, to live for the moment and enjoy future blessings She was no longer going to settle She would seek answers and deliciously taste the next question She was meant for life’s fireworks, passion and moments that took her breath away If she learnt to love herself These sparks made life worth it She could feel the energy in the room from her tribe When she finally saw the bigger picture, the proof, the living beings - her pain, anxiety and tough exterior started to shift and melt She realized she was meant for more and could achieve anything She was safe in her world, no challenges, no surprises, this new chapter had all the bells and whistles It also had consistency and fluidity They all thought she had lost her mind She began to dance with no music, her smile began to shine like the sun Yet she knew all along she wanted to find more, she would also have to give up pleasing everyone She had to break free, let down, let go and find her own crazy way through the darkness She knew she just had to hold her space, be true to herself, she would get there This woman was simply meant for more She wanted more than ordinary and the bitter aftertaste of a half lived life She wanted to enjoy the far flung glorious beaches her life allowed her to visit She wanted to feel the sun beating down on her, on her soul She wanted to feel the essence in her very core Her strength in her mind was outdoing her body She’s okay with that, she’s mentally prepared She knows now that failure is but a lesson on how to do better next She finally can see herself happy, whole, loved, supported and important She matters now in this life to herself The space she takes up in this world is owned by her She is growing, she is feeding and watering her garden and she is standing tall She has her tribe - but that is not all - she has herself and she believes she can achieve. This is what IMANI does. (SJA) (SS). ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Fantastic experience: Imani is and has always been a blessing to me. I have never trained or enrolled to any sort of workout gym or program ever in my life. I always thought that I'm fine and that my skinny body would be healthy until I started struggling with small tasks at home and at work. I got tired so quick, lacked energy and had bad lower back pains and knee pains. Mel & Ronnie have helped me discover the importance of good food and focus on the technique rather than going heavy and doing it the wrong way. We have the best team and have created the best culture. I love it because I even got to meet the love of my life @jesscomben right person for me. Its all about the mind and skill then everything else follows. #trustthesystem #imanifitness #confidenceavalache #mylifemyresponsibility

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Imani, where lives are changed and people transformed.

Fantastic experience: I have been doing a remote training program with Imani over the last few weeks and loving every moment of it. This is a wonderfully supportive community whether you're able to make it to the physical gym site or not. Training with Imani is a journey of self - so much more than fitness and good nutrition.

Fantastic experience: If you want to work on yourself as a whole then Imani is your kind of place. The fitness aspect is what will get you in the door but Mel & Ronnie & the amazing Imani tribe are what will keep you coming back. For someone like me who felt uncomfortable at gyms & hated the idea of group fitness, Imani has created a space that welcomes & supports you at all times no matter what stage you’re at. It is unique and that’s what makes it so very special #imani4lyfe

Fantastic experience: Imani is NOT a gym. It’s a place where you go and learn to love yourself. The trainers, Mel & Ronnie are super supportive and VERY caring ( unlike a gym where you pay a membership and ppl don’t care if you turn up or not). If you want to improve your lifestyle and make great friends along the way, then you should DEFINITELY join Imani.

Fantastic experience: So glad to be apart of the imani family. Such a great atmosphere, so supportive and trainers always make time for you and give amazing advise, affortable and the imani family is just amazing. Thank you Mel and Ron for helping me transform my life.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place to get encouragement from trainers and other people training with you, great vibe and making the punishment enjoyable. Very reasonable cost and no pressure to sign up. Would recommend to anyone wanting to achieve their fitness goals and getting that sexy body they always wanted

Fantastic experience: I feel very grateful to be a part of the Imani family. Since joining the gym, I have seen so many positive changes in the way that I approach my nutrition and fitness. Mel and Ronnie truly are extremely knowledgeable, but above all, ae genuinely lovely people. They have a love for helping people, and a love for what they do, and in that sort of industry, it’s very important. I visited the club and participated in classes numerous times before signing up, and never once felt pressured to do so. If you’re after a non-judgmental and safe space to begin your exercise journey, or continue it to see more results then Imani is definitely for you! Thanks guys and keep up the good work

Fantastic experience: Ronnie and mel have hearts of gold. There program is NOTHING like youve even seen. No yoyo or fad diets. Just wholesome foods to fit into your lifestyle. I 100% reccomend them for not only weight loss goals, but to live a well balanced lifestyle!

Fantastic experience: My life has changed since I've joined Imani. Mel and Ronnie not only focus on your body transformation and improving your fitness but more importantly for me, their approach to training is wholistic. They genuinely take time to get to know you, and the support I get from them as trainers and now friends is priceless. I have gained so much confidence and self worth since starting training with them. And the people who trains at Imani are all amazing and so supportive. They will motivate and push you and will become your life long friends. I feel truely blessed to have found my tribe!

Fantastic experience: I love the community, support & love that Imani gives! You are constantly learning, growing & developing with every workout & activity. You get challenged and pushed out of your comfort zone, which results in positive growth. Imani teaches you how to live life to its fullest, which is one of the reasons why I love going here! I have nothing but respect and admiration for the trainers of Imani, Mel & Ronnie. They go above and beyond to create a safe, fun and encouraging environment for everybody. I wouldn't look any further for health & fitness needs. Imani are simply the best!

Fantastic experience: Imani is a life changer. Mel & Ronnie are 100% devoted to providing a fun, safe, supportive & informative training studio - along with so many positive aspects that come with personal development. I have always struggled with food and exercise as a chore, but Imani make it an enjoyable way of life. I cant recommend Imani high enough. I am constantly learning, re-wiring my thinking and excited for each morning I get to walk through those doors. Everyone needs a bit of Imani!

Negative experience: Not personal fitness mob but , a franchise created by a "doctor" with a PHD in."A self-designed PhD that focused on the molecular, cellular and whole-body responses to nutrition and exercise programming" (quoted from his Linked in Profile). You will be subjected to an hour and a half sales pitch and when you realise you were suckered into signing up for a $1200 nutrition course that consists of a book, and 3 months access to a facebook page and tell them the next day you expected something else (like not being advised to drink Gatrorade or take a supplement that causes liver and kidney damage, and yeah maybe information from qualified nutrionists and dieticians) and tell them you want to withdraw they are very difficult to deal with. Don't be like me go home and think and do your homework before agreeing to anything.
