About Michael
My Story.
I have always had an active lifestyle. Growing up in Indonesia, I was involved in sports at school such as basketball and martial arts. I actively competed in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (BJJ)/grappling in national and international competitions. To fund training and travel to competitions, I organised and ran private PT sessions and group classes in boxing and BJJ at the local gym in my hometown.
Fast forward to a couple of years later, I moved to Australia. I completed my Certificate IV in Fitness and was qualified to be a Personal Trainer. I worked for local gyms in the Inner West for the past 7 years, supporting my clients to reach their goals such as losing weight, getting fit and strong and even compete locally and internationally in their chosen sporting field.
It is so satisfying for me to see my clients develop their strength and fitness confidence. It is why I love the work that I do.

REAL PEOPLE. REAL PROGRESS.
The people you see here started exactly where most new clients begin. Busy. Sore.
Unsure where to start. Here is what changed.
After holding multiple memberships for different gyms, this is hands down the cleanest and up-to-date gym. The trainers are very client-focused and work alongside you to achieve your goals and the other members there are respectful towards you and the equipment.

Michael is a fantastic trainer. He is very knowledgeable and cares for all his clients. I enjoy training with him immensely and he gets more out of me than I thought possible. His programs are interesting and push me in the best way possible. Highly recommended!

I’ve been working with PT Sasha for three years now and cannot imagine training with anyone else. HIGHLY recommend her, in a heartbeat. She’s extremely knowledgeable, listens to her clients, is considerate and dedicated to her work.
Claire, Lewisham
Nick is a great PT – Super knowledgeable and genuinely supportive. Every session feels tailored, with clear explanations that help me understand what I’m doing and why. Heaps of fun with Nick, even the toughest workouts are engaging and motivating.

I’ve been doing PT sessions with Ceco for nearly a year and he’s been outstanding. He always adapts the sessions to suit my needs and limitations while still pushing me to improve and make progress.
