Beyond40 | Personalised Fitness

Fantastic experience: I thought I was in reasonable shape when I started at Beyond40. How wrong I was! It took James about one session to identify scores of muscles that had been inactive for decades and his exercise program made sure the malingering muscles were put to work. By my eight week assessment, I had added 2.4 kg of lean muscle and had a 1.1 per cent reduction in body fat - mostly from around my waist which shrank by 7cm. I can’t recommend James and his team at Beyond 40 highly enough. Not only are their gym sessions highly effective and carefully adapted to each person, but they’re also a lot of fun.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a dedicated member of Beyond40 for over 11 years, and I can confidently say it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and well-being. As someone over 40, it’s easy to feel like fitness becomes more challenging, but this gym has always provided the perfect environment for all fitness levels, especially for those of us navigating the physical changes that come with childbirth and age. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and always take the time to create personalized workouts that are both safe and effective. Whether it’s strength training, cardio, or flexibility exercises, I’ve seen amazing improvements in my endurance, mobility, and overall strength. They truly understand the importance of a holistic approach to fitness as we get older. What I love most is the supportive and welcoming community at Beyond40. There’s no pressure to “keep up” with anyone, and everyone, from the staff to fellow members, is encouraging and positive. It feels like a family, and that sense of camaraderie has kept me motivated year after year. The gym is always clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything you need to reach your fitness goals. They also offer a great variety of classes that are perfect for those who prefer a more low-impact workout or need a little more recovery time between sessions. It’s so much more than just a gym – it’s a place where you can truly take control of your health and continue to feel your best at any age. If you’re looking for a place that understands the unique needs of those over 40, Beyond40 is hands down the best choice. Here’s to many more years of fitness, growth, and feeling great!

Fantastic experience: Bravo James, for developing such an exceptional gym. The individual training program has been constructed to improve all aspects of health and fitness, and because the excellent trainers only have a maximum of three per session, they are able to guide you through the exercises safely and with maximum results.

Fantastic experience: Last year I skied and was so upset as my legs would start to fail after about 2pm….i fell, skis crossed over and fatigue got me. I trained with Beyond40 since I returned and have just gone skiing again. No muscle failure, I could ski all day - Hard!! I can’t believe the difference in my strength and endurance after 1 x year of being trained correctly. Love it, will be a lifer for sure.

Fantastic experience: Great training sessions I have improved strength & fitness thanks to my tailored program. Great facilities & trainers. Love the 3-1 sessions.

Fantastic experience: Beyond 40 is ‘doable’ to start with, fun and encouraging. It sets you off on your fittness journey like a rocket. I never want to stop, and from doable, now I crave excellence. Thanks guys

Fantastic experience: I decided to go to Beyond40 because I felt very flat mentally and unmotivated. The first time I met and trained with James, I felt an instant relief of all my woes. I have never felt so good inside and out. I have lost weight and I have much more energy. My shape has completely changed too and I’ve dropped a size in clothing. This is all since February this year. I’m in my early 60s and the last time I exercised was in my 20s so you can imagine, exercising doesn’t come naturally to me. I now feel the need to go to the gym, because it’s become part of my routine. Another important thing is I have met really nice people of all different ages. It’s a beautiful community. I absolutely love it!!!!

Fantastic experience: I'm loving training at Beyond 40! James and his team have created a personalised, fun and supportive training environment in small groups of 3 or less, and quite simply I look forward to training each visit. I wish I had started sooner!

Fantastic experience: I have been thrilled with the results I have achieved since starting training with James and Beyond 40. After 6 months I have been able to see fantastic improvements in fitness, flexibility, strength and weight. James and his team provide a wonderful, personalised program and support that really makes a difference!

Fantastic experience: I started training with James and the team at Beyond40 about six weeks ago. It had been years since I'd visited a gym. I was a bit nervous. But it quickly became obvious that James is a very experienced personal trainer. He did an excellent job understanding my history and what I wanted to get out of my training. I feel really confident in his ability to design smart, safe programs, with the right mix of challenge & fun. His attention to detail makes a big difference to someone, like me, trying to develop good habits. The atmosphere in the Rose Bay studio is super friendly and encouraging. I'd happily recommend Beyond40.

Fantastic experience: Have been looking for a personal trainer for months, my friend suggested beyond 40 and I love it. The team is great and so helpful. Even though I’m not beyond 40 it tailors to all my needs! Highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their health and well-being!

Fantastic experience: I have recently joined Beyond40 in Rose Bay and in the short time I’ve been there, I have been impressed by the personalised training program and the expertise of both Personal Trainers in a warm, friendly and highly professional environment.

Fantastic experience: James Ferguson is not only a personable, professional, and knowledgeable trainer, but more broadly, James and his team at Beyond40 have provided me with new and varied techniques to reach my fitness goals with ease. After a couple of weeks, I am very pleased with my progress including greater flexibility and increased energy levels. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I have suffered knee pain on and off for years that has kept me out of action for weeks at a time. I started with James at Beyond 40, Rose Bay to try and resolve this. He and his team and their personal service ensure that I always execute everything I do with correct form to prevent any further injury and build muscle. The program is specifically tailored to my body type and age. James has years of experience as a personal trainer that has truly honed his skills in developing a program that works for each individual.. Even though each workout can be a challenge I enjoy each of them, and feel motivated and energised walking out the door. I felt stronger in just a few short weeks. I can't recommend James and Beyond 40 personal training more!

Fantastic experience: Having just had both my knees replaced and now at 7 weeks post opp just wanted to pay thanks to James at Beyond 40 for the help and guidance pre opp. James put in place a program to strengthen my knees and fitness in preparation for surgery. The outcome has been outstanding it has changed my life the recovery from surgery has definitely been enhanced by his knowledge and guidance pre surgery to the point where my surgeon even commented that he wished all his patients could do this to enhance their recovery. I have unbelievable flexibility already in both knees at just 7 weeks.Can’t recommend highly enough Beyond 40 and James the knowledge and guidance given to me through a very difficult period resulting in a life changing result

Fantastic experience: Beyond40 is an outstanding training facility that is located in a convenient location at Rose Bay. I’ve really enjoyed the training with high-quality facilities available for all. Beyond40 personalises a training program tailored specific for your goals and it’s a great environment to train in. I couldn’t recommend Beyond40 higher for anyone looking to improve their physical health and well-being!

Fantastic experience: Beyond 40 has given me the opportunity to get my ski knees back in working order. The individualised personal training program has helped me to cease taking pain meds and given me more confidence on the slopes. I love the convenience of the Rose Bay studio. I highly recommend James and his team

Fantastic experience: Beyond 40 in Rose Bay is a great place to exercise with experienced, focussed personal trainers providing a tailored program. There is great attention to working out a program that has helped me to achieve my goals. This extends beyond exercise alone with advice including diet and general well-being. What a great place to train! Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I started personal training with James at Beyond40 in January this year after being recommended by a friend. After many years of sitting at a desk my body was completely out of wack with some muscles no longer even activating. I was starting to get pains in my hamstrings when driving plus I had put on some extra weight during Covid lockdowns. James’ program has slowly started to recalibrate my body and get all my muscles working. The pain in my hamstrings is gone now and the weight is slowly coming off. I am not a gym person however the team at Beyond40 have made everything so simple and motivating. You don’t need to think about a thing other than just turning up. The program is so complete that you are even stretched afterwards so you have limited muscle pain the next day. There is a really great group of people training at the gym so there are plenty of laughs along the way. I cant recommend Beyond40 enough.

Fantastic experience: Beyond40 has changed not only my life, my borders and my fitness, but also how I approach my training. I have seen huge improvements in areas of my life like sleep, diet and mental health. James and hood team at Beyond40 are encouraging, energetic and very professional. I have absolutely loved my time there and cannot wait to keep going back. They offer programs for everyone and I am in love with my personalized sessions and the focus on execution, making sure I complete each exercise to the best of my ability in a safe and challenging way. The space is clean and the hygiene levels are tip top. Love my time at Beyond40. Cheers

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with James Ferguson of Beyond40 gym for more than ten years and his exercise programs have transformed my life. My fitness level has risen and I’m able to maintain it even with breaks from training. My balance and strength have improved exponentially. I’m more fit now than ever before! James designs programs to suit your individual needs, and more than that the programs are fun with varied exercises that keep you interested and motivated while encouraging you to constantly improve. Whether it’s personal training or group exercises, Beyond40 always feels individualised. The new gym in Rose Bay has meant James and the team can develop their unique training style even further.

Fantastic experience: Having never been a "gym goer" before I turned 50, the last 3 years with James at Beyond 40 have been a revelation. His experience and exceptional knowledge, combined with his infectious enthusiasm make our sessions rewarding, beneficial and enjoyable. I now have the confidence and ability to get to the gym myself and his program blends perfectly with my other exercise pursuits. I can thoroughly recommend James, it truly has been a life changing experience for me.

Fantastic experience: James is an amazing personal trainer. I had trialed numerous trainers in the area as part of my hip replacement rehabilitation but had experienced only average results. Since starting with Beyond40 8 months ago, I am now in the best shape I have been since my 20’s. He tailors programs and tracks progress for individuals and continues to challenge every workout, all in the convenience of a new Rose Bay studio. Thanks James!

Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend James and his training program Beyond40. James is a differentiated personal trainer with a large amount of real world and professional sporting experience that you don't often see. He tailors workouts and a program that can work for you and evolve as you get fitter, and when you're north of 40 (or getting close), it's important to know what you can push and what you can't. He also understands the importance of overall wellness and mindfulness when it comes to getting the best from yourself at work and at home. His new training facility in Rose Bay is modern, private and convenient. Get involved!

Fantastic experience: I started personal training with James at Beyond40 during lockdown shortly before he moved into his brand new Rose Bay studio after multiple friends recommended him. I’ve been so impressed with James and wish l had started with him earlier in life! He has a wealth of knowledge which extends well beyond personal training - he incorporates the latest technology available to improve your physical performance as well as gives insightful advice on nutrition / mental approach to maximise your results and create habits for long term good health. He’s completely professional and has a lovely easy going manner but he pushes you and takes you to the next level to keep you reaching (and resetting) your goals. I couldn’t recommend him more - his approach to personal training and long-term health is truly unique and has been life changing for me.

Fantastic experience: I have always been thin but I noticed once I hit my early 40s I really needed to do some strengthening & toning. Also after having 3 kids my posture wasn’t great. I started personal training with James at Beyond40 Rose Bay about 8 months ago, he put me on a training program to re-balance my body and tone my problem areas. The sessions are tough but effective. I feel fitter, stronger, toned, more energetic. I highly recommend Beyond40.

Fantastic experience: James tailors your sessions to suit your need and your ability while ensuring he ensures you get the most out of yourself in the sessions and then helps with the other stuff with his experience. Has changed my life for the better for sure and would recommend his service to any executive wanting to stay for and healthy.

Fantastic experience: As soon as lockdown ended I contacted Beyond40 and booked myself into a fitness assessment at Rose Bay. As anticipated my assessment wasn’t wonderful however I walked out of there with a clear vision of what my program was to enable me to work with a personal trainer on achieving my fitness and strength goals. The exercise program put together by James and supervised by James or one of the Beyond40 personal trainer’s ensure I do the exercises correctly, effectively, progressively and most importantly safely. My initial three months have been challenging, educational, Fun, sweaty and rewarding - looking forward to taking it up again after the Christmas break

Fantastic experience: I'm in my early 60's and wanted to find a professional trainer who would put a programme together for me and work me through the process of increasing strength and fitness in an age appropriate way. I had been recommended to Beyond40 by friends that had been going for years with great results. I'm about 3 months in - and i'm tremendously glad I did. The results have been excellent. I train with Beyond40 twice a week and look forward to the sessions - they have increased my core strength and overall fitness and have increased in intensity at a level which has challenged me but not required a physio afterwards ! An assessment of my fitness was undertaken first and then a comprehensive programme implemented. I take one on one sessions with a Beyond40 trainer and the level of professionalism, care, detail and encouragement has given me considerable confidence. I'd recommend Beyond40 wholeheartedly.

Fantastic experience: Beyond40 Personal Trainer Rose Bay is far and away the best personal training and trainers that I have come across in my 57 years. I’m a yo-yo when it comes to my weight but with James I can see some real improvement and finally somebody that understands me and is a bit more forgiving and helps to find solutions and if you fall off the wagon he’s right there to pick you up again. Wait till you get to know him with his bright and airy personality and a smile to match and if you’ve ever wondered who or what type of person you are or what food might not actually go with you Beyond40 Personal Trainer Rose Bay has this really cool system that has the answers for you. Thanks James and thanks Beyond40 Personal Trainer Rose Bay. Slow and steady will win the this race
