Activ8 Health Club

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 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.

So glad I joined this gym – I joined Activ8 Health Club at Caringbah three years ago following an arthroscopy on my knee. My aim was to strengthen my quad muscles and delay (or avoid) a knee replacement. Although I wasn't a 'gym person', I felt comfortable here from day 1. It didn't matter that I was older and inexperienced, this gym had a personal, community-style vibe and was all about improving your quality of life. I chose to have one 1 on 1 session per week with Trent (an EP) and come casually on other days. Following a gradual increase in the complexity of my exercise regime, a lot of encouragement and more than a lot of patience, Trent has managed to not only strengthen my quads, but all my other muscles as well. I'm stronger and fitter than I have been for years! During the COVID-19 gym closure, sessions are continuing via Zoom, both personal sessions and videoed fitness and stretching sessions that can be accessed from home. I really appreciate the effort that has gone in to making this happen. So, I guess you can call me a convert. Joining Activ8 has changed my life. It's that simple.

Perfect NDIS Provider – Thankfully for me, I found Activ8 Health Club through a NDIS list for assistance providers. After a serious motor vehicle accident in 1971 which I was a passenger, I have endured many medical challenges as I broke my neck & back leaving me an incomplete quadriplegic . Managing until 2 years ago, I lost function again and spent a month in hospital. I was a long way from independence, lacked confidence, really struggling with daily living, could barely walk , severely debilitated and unable to see a positive future.

I made an appointment & was assessed by Trent Carruthers as an Accredited Exercise Physiologist at Activ8 Health Club. Trent was very professional, extremely reassuring, caring & easy to talk too. He treated me with much respect & was very understanding.

He drew up a program with all my special needs in mind, and may I say he has brought me leaps & bounds over 12 months. Helping me 1 on 1; too understand the use of equipment & strategies to help me, having my best interest & outcome at heart. They always have gone above & beyond. His devotion to his job a credit to him.

For his time & outstanding effort, I’m most grateful. Just can’t praise him enough and I felt very comfortable in his care. It was really obvious to me he really does care and I continue to improve with his help. Trent has seriously helped me back on my feet .

Without saying I sincerely recommend Active8 ! ! !
