Testimonials

The level of care you can expect from us

Quinton

Nicholas - Eleni's Client

I would like to say that I really enjoy attending my sessions with Eleni as she is welcoming, focused on getting the best result for my changing and challenging physical needs and does so in an empathetic manner. Laughter and music are integral to time spent with Eleni at Activate, which raises my spirits and makes me feel included in this community.

Chris - Olivia's Client

From our very first consultation, Olivia demonstrated a deep understanding of exercise physiology, tailoring a personalised program that addressed my specific needs and goals. Her expertise was evident as she explained the science behind each exercise, making me feel not just physically engaged but also mentally connected to my fitness program.


What truly sets Olivia and the team at Activate Exercise Physiology apart is their unwavering commitment to positive outcomes. 

Irene - Nadunie's Client

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).
