Defiance Fitness Training

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Anthony for a year, and the progress I've made has been incredible. I used to suffer from constant neck pain due to long hours at a desk, and whenever I tried exercising on my own, I often ended up injuring myself. Anthony tailored my training to my specific needs, helping me gradually build strength while considering my limitations. Thanks to his guidance, I no longer experience the pain I used to, and I’m now able to perform movements I previously thought were beyond my reach. I highly recommend Anthony to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and supportive fitness instructor!

Fantastic experience: Great trainer! Knows his stuff.

Fantastic experience: I had PT sessions with Anthony after a somewhat long hiatus from regular exercise and before an extended trip overseas. Anthony worked with me to build my strength and I felt myself getting stronger and stronger each week. He mixed up my training to make the sessions more enjoyable but also pushed me to at each session to ensure that I was getting the best from my workouts. I felt a sense of achievement after every session. I would highly recommend Anthony to anyone who wants a trainer that is engaged, knowledgeable and delivers results

Fantastic experience: Ant is an excellent personal trainer! He’s focussed on correct technique and building strength in a steady and stable manner, and ensures you get the most out of the session. I currently do 30min sessions - I’m super happy with how I feel after every one. Cheers Ant! Strongly recommend this guy!

Fantastic experience: I went to see Anthony at Defiance for a private session as I knew he was a StrongFirst certified instructor, and I was not disappointed. He clearly knows his stuff, and gave me some excellent tips for improving my kettlebell swings and Turkish Get Ups. I'll definitely be going back.

Fantastic experience: Anthony is an amazing personal training. He goes about the sessions gently yet pushing you hard, and works with your goals to make success possible for you. His concentration on technique is second to none and his flexibility to adapt the training to anything you need makes him a really great training. Especially in these times!

Fantastic experience: Anthony shares a wisdom of all things strength and fitness. His knowledge of kettlebells and functional strength training has not only helped me achieve the results I was after, but greatly improved my flexibility, posture and overall well being in the process. Highly Recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Anthony for 3 years and I have never looked back. Training with Anthony has improved my posture, changed my body shape for the better, and helped me build functional strength to perform better in sports and life activities in general. Anthony knows how much to push me, is professional and up to date in all things training, and has taught me a few things. Not to mention he is an all round quality human. The exciting new gym space in Thornbury is sparkly and clean and I love going there.

Fantastic experience: Anthony has been training my daughter and I for many years. We both gained so much power since we started. This place is ideal if you look for a local professional, high quality and tailored fitness training.

He is extremely knowledgeable in all areas of strength & fitness training, he's always meticulously well prepared for every session, he's very attentive & quick to provide excellent effective advice & he also makes every session lots of fun. To top it off, Anthony is just a genuine, down to earth, alll round nice person.

Both times we set fitness goals together for each physical challenge and bet them ! Can't recommend Anthony enough. His professionalism, personable manner and great fitness knowledge helped me achieve my fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Anthony has taught me that I am stronger than I realize!! He has also made personal training actually enjoyable for me by including a mix of strength training, stretching and working with weights to maintain my interest and stamina. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic new local place for kettle bell and personal training

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Anthony for over four years. I used to have a lot of shoulder problems which often got worse with exercise, but since working with Anthony I have strengthened my back and core, and no longer have any shoulder trouble. Anthony always adjusts his program around the things my body can or can't do and I have been injury free since we started. Can't thank him enough for the positive impact that being stronger has had on my general fitness and wellbeing.

Fantastic experience: Strength training with Anthony over the past 10 month period significantly changed my overall health, strength and fitness. He personalised each session for me and slowly built me up from where I was at. Strength training with Anthony is definitely a smarter way to get in shape and debunked my theories of many years of cardio only training.
