Discover How YOU Can Use This Same
Hollywood Success Secret to Get a Better Body,

A Personal Message from Gerard Spriet, Head Coach of Geelong's Gym ...

Are you really getting the most out of your exercise regime, whether that be as a member of a gym or regular sports activities?

If you don’t have a personal trainer, chances are you’re not.

Here’s an interesting fact for you.  Even amoung gym members, as many as 88% STILL don't exercise regularly!¹

Yep, you read that right – even gym regulars don't exercise quite as frequently as they should (not to mention the question of whether they're making the most of the time they are spending in the gym... but more on that later)!

Well, it's time to do more.  But first, let me ask you a question…

Why do you think we’re in the gym business?

For the past 46 years, we here at Geelong’s Gym have been in the business of helping people improve their lives through fitness.  That means we're committed to providing you with every resource you need to ensure you maximize your membership and get the results you want and deserve.

But here’s the thing… there is nothing that gives us more satisfaction in our chosen field than when we see people excited by the results they achieve when they come and join our gym.  So I’m sure you can imagine how frustrating it is to stand by and watch people waste their gym membership by achieving minimal or, even worse, no results.

But no more!  Personal training is one of the most important resources we provide and now we’re making sure that every member of our gym reaps the benefits of this precious resource.

A personal trainer is no longer just for movie stars. 

Now EVERYONE can enjoy the amazing Hollywood benefits of personal training and experience the single fastest and most effective way to get fit, trimmed or bulked up...WITHOUT drugs, steroids or injury.

In fact, we have FIVE different personal training programs for you to select from:

Slim, Sexy and Toned – If you would like to lose a few kilos, target those problem areas, firm up those wobbly bits and sleek up your shape so that you look and feel super SEXY... this one is for YOU!

Let’s face it, we’ve all got a few areas we’d like to work on a bit, just to give us that little extra boost of confidence or to fit back into last season’s clothes.

And you probably want to do it in the shortest time possible, right?  I thought so.

Your personal trainer will take you by the hand and help you craft a customised weight loss solution designed just for YOUR BODY, YOUR GOALS, and YOUR LIFESTYLE.

And they’ll keep you motivated and on track to your personal goal.

Plus, I have hand-picked every single trainer on our team to make sure you have a wide selection of skills, experience and personalities to choose from.  All our trainers are experienced and qualified professionals, so you'll never feel insecure or uncomfortable.  Your journey to a firmer, sleeker you takes place in a completely safe, 100% judgment-free zone!

Strong Muscle – If you want to buff-up, bulk up, build muscle, get stronger and look HOT... this one has YOUR name written all over it!

Build Muscle, Tone Your Abs, and Get Ripped, Cut and Shredded!  Turn that soft marshmallow into sculpted steel!

According to the American College of Sports Medicine, working out with a personal trainer will increase your long-term results as much as 50% in terms of strength and muscle development over those who don't use a trainer.²

The reason?

Most people waste time in the gym either doing the wrong exercises, routines and circuits... or without important knowledge of variations, key distinctions and techniques that can give you that ‘pump’ safely and grow your muscles in a symmetrical, balanced fashion.

Your personal trainer has specialized education to know EXACTLY what your body needs to slim down where you want to be trim and build up where you want mass.  You'll learn to build strength, speed, quickness and agility or develop more flexibility, reach and coordination... or a killer combination of all of the above.

And here's a secret: it's different for every person.  That's why one-size-fits-all solutions don't work and why having your own personal trainer is a must.

Look, we’ve all seen the guy in the gym who works out just one body part disproportionately – he looks ridiculous!  Don’t spend painstaking months and years undoing bad training.  Instead, choose a personal trainer to help you set the right goals and get results fast.

Healthy Lifestyle – If you have kissed your crazy youth goodbye and it’s now time for you to take a more mature approach to maintaining your fitness to ensure you remain active and your age is just a number, not a reflection of your health... this one is especially for YOU.

Many adults in the twilight of their life think they’re too old, too slow and too tired to exercise.  But they couldn’t have it more wrong!

In fact, not fitting an exercise routine into their lives will only make them feel more old, slow and tired.

Research proves regular exercise, even initiated late in life, can help fight the effects of ageing and ill health.  And it’s never too late to start!!

And if you’re a teensy bit afraid of working out amongst the young, fit and buff, you’ll be pleased to know that around 20% of the members at Geelong’s Gym are seniors.

Seniors who are enjoying a reduction in arthritis pain, osteoporosis, blood pressure and cholesterol and an increase in muscle strength, movement and overall energy and vitality!

So what are you waiting for?

Energy Rich - If you are a busy, busy bee who needs to keep ultra fit, stress free and full of energy to maintain your highly active, demanding lifestyle... this one will give your body the buzz YOU need!

Too busy at work to fit exercise into your life?  Sure, sometimes it can feel like life is overwhelming you with a constant barrage of demands on your time.

I bet you wish you had more energy to get through your busy days, particularly if you’ve got a young family that you’re struggling to keep up with because you’re exhausted all the time.

Frankly, you can’t afford NOT to fit exercise into your life.  Because the simple fact is, exercise equals more energy throughout the rest of your day.

And here’s where we can really help you out – our trainers will utilize every second they have with you to squeeze out everything you’ve got, so you can be in and out of the gym in half an hour!

So get Motivated, Consistent, and Push Yourself to the Max so you can enjoy every moment of your life!

New Beginning - If too many or WAY too many, extra kilos are weighing you down and you need to do something about it now to change your lifestyle, body, health and confidence for the better... this is your golden opportunity to get the guidance and support you need to turn your life around.

It's no secret that obesity is a modern-day health crisis.  With as many as 47% of Australian women and 63% of Australian men struggling to lose weight³, it can seem impossible to find solutions that really work.  Exercising with a personal trainer is PROVEN to be an effective way to lose the weight, but more importantly keep it off.

A recent study in The Canadian Journal of Dietetic Practice & Research found that women working with a personal trainer lost, on average, a staggering 468% MORE than those who exercised without!⁴ I am sure we can replicate those results here in Geelong.

Now that you’ve made the decision to do something about your unhealthy lifestyle, our trainers will help you lose that weight at a healthy rate and give you a whole lot of guidance to really make the most of your new beginning.

Why Have We Decided It’s So Important To Work with a Trainer Instead of Going it Alone?

If there's ONE REASON to choose a personal trainer, it can be summed up in this shocking statistic: More than half of people who start a group or exercise program drop out within the first month.⁵

More than half!

Look, people come up with all kinds of excuses to stop exercising: lack of time, lack of energy, lack of motivation... the list goes on and on. You know them well – you’ve used some of them yourself – we all have at some time. 

So if you've ever found yourself making a similar excuse (more often than you’d care to admit), it's time to consider a personal trainer today.

Our personal trainers are not only fitness experts; they're full-on exercise psychologists.

And they'll show you EXACTLY how to blast through the many obstacles that have been holding you back from your fitness goals.

First, you and your trainer will sit down together and identify all the factors in your life that are keeping you from the body you deserve.  Then, you'll come up with a specific action plan to overcome those issues.

Most importantly, your trainer will be there to hold your hand and keep you accountable through the whole process – giving you encouragement, motivation, and even a swift kick in the shorts when you need it!

Here are just some of the powerful benefits you'll receive from working with a personal trainer...

• Get and stay motivated
• Train 1, 2 or 3 times a week more than you do now
• Get toned faster than you ever could alone
• Focus on symmetry instead of bulk
• Train MORE without risk of injury
• Push yourself MORE without soreness

Our trainers, as a group, have the following qualifications:

Diploma of Remedial Massage - Your trainer has a thorough knowledge and understanding of how each individual muscle in your body works most efficiently and safely, both by itself and in conjunction with the rest of the muscles in your body.

Nutrition in Sport Certification - Your trainer will help you understand how you should be eating to get rid of stubborn belly fat, love handles and that spare tyre around your waist - quickly. Yes, you can enjoy that scrumptious 780-kilojoule-packed chocolate muffin as long as you know how to work in harmony with your body-clock. You don’t have to go on a diet. After all you know what the first three letters of DIET spell…

Boxing Certification - Boxing is a great way to condition the whole body because it builds muscle strength, endurance, balance, agility and coordination all at the same! Yet most people don’t realize that the angle of your body and wrist positioning is critical to your progress as well as avoid injury. Your trainer will help you box like Mohammed Ali - your punches will fly like a butterfly and sting like a bee as you tone up your body to look dashing and beautifully fit.

Mediball Certification - Your trainer can demonstrate and explain many different exercises and techniques using the Mediball to promote stabilizer and neutralizer muscle activity. The stronger these muscles are, the better your balance, coordination, flexibility and agility. This can also positively affect your recovery from low back pain, assist in preventing injury and enhance your athletic performance.

Group Class Instructor - Some trainers are great 1:1 but pretty pathetic as group facilitators. We have trainers who understand how to use the dynamics of the group to help each individual achieve his/her full potential in a friendly, fun and supportive environment.

Austswim Teacher - Your trainer understands all the overuse scenarios that come with swimming never-ending laps. If you’re looking to find a better balance in your shoulder girdle, to perform exercises that improve your breathing and lung capacity, or finding your competitive edge, this is for you.

Rehabilitation of Injury Certification - Your trainer can identify specific injuries and select the appropriate exercises to help you recover from an injury with a training regime specifically designed to enhance and speed up your recovery.

Fat Loss Leaders Certification - Your trainer has a thorough knowledge of the latest weigth-loss strategies and techniques to help you burn-away calories, shape up and turn you into an object of desire - a lot faster than you’d think possible!

Sports Trainer - Your trainer will help you develop special skills and the mindset to deal with setbacks, develop your full potential and give you an unfair advantage over bigger, smarter and stronger opponents while increasing your performance and results.

Strength Training Certification - Your trainer will help you develop the right routine, form and technique to maximize your strengths and minimise your weaknesses to help you pack muscle, explode your biceps, sculpt your back and help you gain unsurpassed strength, size and power - fast and injury-free!

Core Control and Condition Kinesiology Certification - Your trainer understands the holistic approach to training so you develop muscle balance and symmetry.

Pregnancy in Exercise Certification - Your trainer knows how to use safe protocols to help you stay fit and healthy along your journey towards motherhood, with the emphasis on nurturing the growth of your baby along the way.

Lift for Life Coach- Your trainer is qualified by the Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute in the area of Diabetes and all the known chronic diseases associated with this condition - Coronary Heart Disease, Stroke, Obesity, Arthritis and Osteoporosis. Your trainer will safely see you through a research-proven strength training program, understanding your fears and trepidations to help you rise above your current limitations so you can finally achieve your full potential.

And then just like a master chef, your trainer will design a menu of carefully selected exercises to be served to you when it’s convenient for you.

We make sure you have MAXIMUM CHOICE
with  96 ½ hours a week  to choose from

What you'll be capable of achieving in your workout programs will be absolutely amazing. Your body has phenomenal potential. That’s why it makes sense to pick a trainer to make sure you train at your full capacity to unleash the athlete that is within you.

5 things you need to look for when selecting a personal trainer

1. A personal trainer must have a clear vision of what your goal is. The best trainer for you will listen closely to what you say and will have a good understanding of what you need to achieve those goals.
2. It’s imperative you feel comfortable and at ease when with your trainer. Your personal trainer needs to act as if he/she was your protector, agent, fiduciary - because in reality that’s who he/she needs to be for you if you are to reach your full physical and fitness potential.
3. The trainer that’s right for you will get the best out of you, pushing, inspiring and motivating you break through your current plateau of performance.
4. Make sure that your personal trainer’s exercise/fitness philosophy is something that you are comfortable with. That means don’t get a drill sergeant type if you want to be more casual and laid back - or vice versa!
5. Before you make your decision watch the trainers around the Gym with their clients and see how they interact. Personal training is about a relationship, one that must be engaging and mutually enjoyable.
