Fun & enjoyable group settings – An awesome workout with great people amongst the awesome setting of St Kilda's Catani Gardens. Charlie is an excellent friendly coach and even trains… Read more

us through my partner's pregnancy!! He's more than happy to modify workouts and is super encouraging.

After trying to loose weight on my own for a long time and in different ways (eating less, 2, 3 meals a day, walking an hour daily, etc.) without… Read more

achieving my goal. Vision Personal Trainers had opened a Gym in Eastlakes, right in level 1 of the building where I leve; One day I walked in and signed up. Benny (Owner/Manager ) took my information and put me under Rob's wing as my personal trainer. I dedicated myself 100% to follow his advise and instructions: from week 3 I started noticing results and in four months I reached one of my goals; now we are in working in building muscles. It hasn't been easy, like everything else; you have to be disciplined, the trainer's are only doing their job and you have to follow its routine. Rob is very professional and knowledgeable as are Benny and the rest of trainers; without their help it wouldn't have been possible. Also when you are on the group sessions (7 a week) all the clients and coaches are very respectful and there is a great sense of camaraderie. I recommend Vision Personal Trainer Eastlakes to anyone who seriously want to improve their health and well-being. Vision Personal Trainer Eastlakes has its doors open

A scam – Like many reviews I got scammed by this app. Money taken and impossible to cancel. When I finally managed to reach Ashlee, she was a piece of work!… Read more

Arrogant, dismissive and downright rude. All she and her business care about is money. Full stop. There are so many better fitness instructors and apps to support.

Honestly loving this fitness program for mums so far! The workouts are super easy to follow and literally take just 20 minutes out of your day. No more excuses I’ve only just started and already enjoying it so much!

I was illegally charged without permission, they told me I had a subscription which h I did NOT! I would not trust this company as I am out of pocket… Read more

$450. I did not even receive a single correspondence indicating I had a subscription, they just took the money.

I have tried every weight loss program, app etc, and nothing worked until I found BlissBodyU. The weekly catch-ups with the nutritionist were just… Read more

the education and support I needed to start losing weight and keep me accountable and on track. I cannot recommend this program highly enough, and a big thankyou to James!

Overpriced, terrible meals, repetitive fitness which is too difficult for mature users. Not worth the money at all,there are better programs on the market for free. Refuse to cancel despite health proof, poor customer service eg NONE

I’ve been a member of EFM for 12 years, which really says it all. The coaches are outstanding—knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in… Read more

helping people improve, no matter their level. If the gym wasn’t this good, I wouldn’t have stayed for so long, and neither would so many other long-term members. It’s a friendly, welcoming place with a real sense of community, and the no-mirrors environment keeps the focus on training, not appearances. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

EXTREMELY BENEFICIAL RETREAT – Mark and Linda are the most gracious people who could not do enough for their guests at Little Forest. Linda turned out beautiful colourful… Read more

creative meals that were delicious and Mark just could not do enough to make us comfortable and adapted his program to the individual needs of his guests. He is just the most gifted sensitive compassionate giving person and everyone seemed to feel safe in his hands. The retreat certainly covered a lot of ground and there was a lot of laughter in the room. I cannot recommend the retreat on this beautiful property, highly enough.

Absolutely disgraceful organisation, I too joined for a low fee and never got as far as opening the first workout program as my Mum was diagnosed… Read more

with breast cancer. I actually got messages from Harna saying "has something happened? you have not downloaded your workout"? "what's wrong?" etc. etc. I have been totally preoccupied with Mum's medical appointments and was happy to accept the low fee I signed up for but was not prepared for the second whopping fee of $141.57 AUD which was taken out of my bank account, even though they knew I never used their program. I have been in touch with them to see if they will refund the huge cost of the second program, so believe me, they have no intention of helping you. I am going to be in touch with the Department of Consumer Protection and I recommend everyone who is experiencing the same "rip off" as I have to do the same. Organisations like this need to be held to account. Kim Koch (disgruntled customer)

Would give a zero if I could! Regurgitating Andy's review as I could not have put it better myself. Such a waste of time and money! Not worth the… Read more

time or money – Where to begin. I signed up for ACFPT due to the positive reviews, which I now suspect are all fakes; basically every 5 star review is from an account that has only ever reviewed one company (ACFPT) and has a super generic avatar. It's fishy, to say the least. The reviews themselves are also very, very odd. "Provides informative courses that ensure students are sound in the field they have chosen and that they have an understanding in their field." - nice review, ChatGPT.

The course is dreadful. I'm only finishing it because I can't get a refund, and just want to get the Cert III and IV so I can start working at a gym.

The entire course is just PDF's compiled from information found on various public websites. No videos, no interactivity. You're then asked thousands of overly repetitive questions, again, in pure text. The word count is INSANE. Easily 3x a university dissertation. No multiple-choice, just paragraph after paragraph of mundane re-writing of the source material. They constantly remind you that "clients learn in various ways, so be sure to adapt to their learning style!", yet they, laughably, don't apply that to their own course. As one other reviewer put it, it's truly mind-numbing. The material is littered with spelling errors and missing words.

They then expect you to find a personal trainer who will essentially baby-sit you for 60 hours (!?) for free, and take on various tasks with their clients, most of which are vague, poorly worded, or simply irrelevant. I'm just lucky that I happen to be on a good standing with the personal trainer at my gym, and he was happy to help out. But generally speaking, such a request is a tall order. This was written by Andy and could not be more accurate!!!

Great Caring Coaches! – I’ve been coached by GK for nearly three years, in this time they helped guide me in achieving my Triathlon and Ironman goals. Training for three… Read more

sport disciplines is very challenging and trying to maintain focus can be very difficult. GK monitor my progress mental and physical, provide encouragement when things get tough (and it does during a Ironman build) and are willing to listen and modify the program to suit “life commitments” and injuries (training can be brutal).

GK has turned my poor swimming ability into a very confident and competent swimmer. They have helped me unlock my potential on the bike. Running was a discipline I used to hate, but GK has turned this around to the point where I love my run days with great sets and challenges, even when I’m broken!

Overall GK has brought my triathlon life to the next level, whilst making it sustainable. Love being apart of the GK crew!!!

Excellent gym – The staff are always friendly and their knowledge unsurpassed. The equipment is well maintained. I joined Activ8 Health Club 18 months ago with my… Read more

plan to lose a bit of weight and generally improve my strength. I have never been a gym junky but Trent made me feel comfortable.

You can check out, but never leave – Like Hotel California, you can check out, but you can never leave. Even if you've finished contract and had major surgery. Wanted another months notice (money). Disgraceful.

I don’t want to give these any stars because they don’t deserve it. I signed up for a trial and then I cancelled it as I didn’t find it any good. I… Read more

removed my card used for the trial and then they took money from my APPLEPAY connected to my phone. They refused to give a refund and were so unhelpful. Do not sign up to a free trial with these crowd!

Very disappointed in being billed for a recurring subscription and not being refunded when requested. I didnt use the program and would not recommend and am now even more annoyed at having to pay for something that is useless to me.

Customer service is a joke and won’t even listen to what you have to say. Avoid

Biggest waste of money! – You will be kicked out of the Facebook and Instagram page if you question anything! Extremely overpriced for what you get. No good options for… Read more

vegetarians. The meal plan was repeated weekly, nothing exciting or new.

One girl was blocked from the group for commenting she was a fan of someone (her ‘enemy’)

Very unprofessional and immature.

Very disappointed with our experience at Fit College. My daughter enrolled in a face-to-face course and quickly realised the classroom experience was… Read more

very different from what she expected coming from Year 12 studies. Classes felt disorganised and the teaching support did not meet our expectations. The teacher appeared inexperienced and the overall learning environment lacked structure.

After contacting head office to discuss our concerns, we were advised the options were to either continue the course online or lose over $6,000 already paid, as there were no refunds available. Because of this, she switched to the online option.

Unfortunately, the online experience wasn't much better. Support while studying remotely was minimal despite multiple requests for assistance. At one stage, even a teacher appeared unable to properly explain or clarify one of the online assessments, which was frustrating and concerning.

Communication with head office was also difficult. Attempts to call often failed and getting through for support became a challenge.

Overall, this was a very disappointing experience and not what we expected from a training provider. Based on our experience, I would encourage people to thoroughly explore other study options before committing.

Don’t ever give them your credit card number. They are scammers. They sent me a email saying I had successfully canceled my subscription and still charged me. I have filed a claim against them. Please don’t trust them.
