I am incredibly grateful for the expertise and personal care provided by Nadunie and the rest of the team. Their tailored strength and weight loss training program, designed specifically for managing my pre-diabetes and menopausal issues, has been transformative. With their support, I’ve not only witnessed significant improvements in my physical strength and stamina but also noticed positive changes in my mind.
Lily - Quinton's Client
After working with Quinton for three months, I have been pleasantly surprised at what this discipline can deliver! I certainly wasn't expecting early or quick improvements. Quinton always checks to see how my energy levels are coping and if a short break is needed. Our 'face-to-face' sessions are varied, educational and entertaining, at times challenging but never boring.
Ben De Jong - Anthony's Client
Anthony Lieu has become known to me as an affable young man. I admire his skills and competence in treating my wife for about three months, several times weekly. She has shown considerable progress, and she responds well to his skill and encouragement. I recommend him as a Professional Exercise Physiologist.
Kristy - Aislinn's Client
Activate is a friendly and welcoming community. Both the trainers and other clients are supportive and encouraging of each other. All the staff are well trained, professional and passionate about what they do. I have been training with Aislinn for a few months now, and she creates a fun and enjoyable program. She gets the best out of me during my sessions (even on those early mornings).
