Our clients come from a range of professional and personal backgrounds and we are pleased that they’ve embarked on their fitness journey with our Melbourne Personal Trainers.

Our personal trainers travel throughout Melbourne to give you the most convenient service possible.

Read on to hear what our clients have to say!

“When I first decided to change my health and life style I was a size 16. I had just been through a number of life changing experiences including a divorce. I started my journey by surfing the internet looking for a fitness professional to help me improve my choices.”

“I found the Fitness Goal Personal Training web site and sent through a query. Within a few hours I was matched up with Fernando Solis who in turn became my trainer. After our first consultation I signed up for twenty sessions. He listened to my needs and we set the goals I wanted to achieve. Not only did he set up a weekly exercise program for me, but he also set up an eating plan and referred me to a physio to help me with my knee injury.”

“Fernando also referred me to a friend who held a meditation group, which helped clear my head after my divorce. Within a couple of weeks I was well on my way to connecting my mind, body and soul. My lifestyle and eating choices changed quickly. I trained with Fernando three times a week and I was also going to my local gym on the days I was not training with him. I felt confident when training on my own as he made the program easy to follow.
Training with him three times a week kept me focused and he would push me to limits I had not achieved in the past.”

“Twenty weeks later I had dropped to a size 10-12 and resigned as I saw the value of having him as part of my health regime. When I first started training I thought that having a trainer was expensive. Now I realize that I save a lot more money on healthy food choices and have greatly cut down negative lifestyle choices which were adversely affecting both my physical and mental my health.”
Eva Rachwalski – School Teacher

“Fitness Goal Personal Training not only improved my general fitness and core strength, but it also helped me loose excess weight. The support and information in relation to my day to day diet ensured I had the necessary energy to complete a training session after a long day at work.”

Thanks Fernando
Alex McHarg – Construction Management

“I have trained with Fernando for about 7 months, he is always seems to have new training idea’s to keep the sessions interesting, meaning you have no idea what you are going to be doing from session to session. Just don’t let him show you the duck walk! I am well on the way to my target weight loss and have to attribute that to Fernando’s ability to push me beyond my comfort zone! “
Andrew Wynn – Banking and Finance

“After I broke my olecranon (elbow) last year, I included fitness sessions with Fernando along with regular physiotherapy sessions. The physio reported that I had one of the worst breaks he had seen, but achieved one of the best recoveries. I put this down in part to the activity Fernando and I worked on together.”

“Having weekly PT sessions booked also motivates me to work on my fitness between sessions.”

“My blood pressure was increasing with occasional peaks up to 160. When I was told there was some bleeding in my eyes I got enough of a scare to join a gym. After 18 months of fitness training, including weekly PT sessions I’m now back to my old levels of 120 on 80.”
Bruce Black – Bank Project Manager

“I found Fernando to be an innovative and highly motivating PT! He inspired me with his knowledge and passion for all things fitness. When I was having a down day I’d get a text or email to see how I was doing and to encourage me to keep up with my fitness goals.
I loved that he taught me functional compound exercises, working many areas at once, rather than your “same old same old” routines.
I would highly recommend anyone needing a lift or change of routine to go and see Fernando!”
Helen Warden – Education Administration

In this 2 part news post I will talk about the value of taking charge of your life challenges and the benefit of organizing the situations you face into an order of importance and dealing with them one by one – I call this The Priority Principle. It’s a self analysis tool I’ve used with my personal training clients and has delivered great outcomes for them.

In life, it’s unlikely that we approach all aspects of our lives with the same sence of urgency and any one time. Is it possible to put the same amount of energy and effort into everything we do? Probably not. This is where the importance of prioritizing our life objectives becomes important to our short and long term success. We need to put our efforts into what we consider needs the most attention at any given stage of our lives.

This Thing Called Life

Our modern day lives as human beings are full of complexities. We are confronted with situations that need resolving on a day to day basis – as a matter of fact this is a constant source of entertainment for our entire lives!

After we overcome a challenge something totally new will spring up and we instantly have a new project to focus on. Let’s use the word ‘challenge or situation’ and not problem, as a problem provokes negative thoughts and can lead to a counterproductive state of mind.
Looking at things in this way will change your perspective and give a much greater chance of a successful outcome – In fact, it will always guarantee a better outcome for you.
You will find that this is a key quality of any successful person and something that can be developed and simulated by anyone.

We are challenged both by internal and external situations.

The Intrinsic Challenge – Goal Setting

These challenges are internal and come from within us – they are the ones that we consciously set for ourselves. They form part the intrinsic nature of the human being. Humans operate best when there is a clear goal or objective to aspire to. Something worthwhile is never served up on platter, we need to go out and grab it! We need to get out of comfort zones and look within ourselves for answers and push the boundaries of our very person.

We all have standards and expectations regarding our personal growth relating to:

• Careers
• Finances
• Personal Development
• Spiritual Growth
• Friendships and Relationships
• Leisure Time

The quest for self development should never cease. Getting better at life and improving ourselves is a constant journey. We need to identify and confront our flaws and look for inspiration from those around us to better ourselves.
This process is eternal – When we achieve, we then strive for bigger and greater goals.

The Extrinsic Challenge – Matters Seemingly Beyond our Control

Our personal goals can also be greatly affected by situations that arise from people around us and the environment we surround ourselves in.

This includes friends, family, intimate relationships, our work colleagues and the environments in which we associate with these people. The right associations can be extremely helpful to us, while toxic scenarios will hold us back from achieving our objectives.

But ultimately we do control the outcomes of these situations through the decisions we make. We are empowered to make choices that will improve our seemingly hopeless situations. If we find ourselves in a situation that get in the way of our goals, we must be prepared to break these ties and pursue the situation that will bring us the outcome we desire. Sometimes that requires us to move away from certain personal and/or business relationships.

In these cases we also need to consider the impact our choices may have on others, but ultimately we need to do what is most beneficial to us.

We must sift through this myriad of situations and outline what we as individuals need to work on most, this is where exercising the priority principle can be of extreme value to us.
