I have been trained by Brendon for over 12 months. Brendon has demonstrated a passion and enthusiasm for personal training unparalleled by other trainers I have been to in the past. He has the ability to tailor exercises with increasing difficulty and complexity. His best characteristic is his ability to motivate you to work within your limits . His training sessions are enjoyable and dynamic. I strongly recommend Brendon as a personal trainer.

I have been training with Brendon for over six months and have received significant benefit through both his specific training and mental support. As a Business Executive in my mid-fifties, the challenge of balancing the need for stamina, tone and strength has been complicated by age and fitness. Brendon has achieved that balance through his supportive approach recognising my capacity to accomplish tasks, my areas of interest, adapting programs to suit and ongoing motivation.

Brendon has been a guest at Chisholm Catholic College for the past seven weeks. During that time he has taught the unit of Self Defence to our Yr 11 and 12 Classes. Brendon has delivered a fantastic program which the students have not only found challenging, but have also thoroughly enjoyed. He has managed to demonstrate these effectively for the students and in turn the students have learnt and replicated these techniques in real-life scenarios.

Brendon takes great pride in his work and is dedicated as evidence by, for example, purchase of outdoor training equipment from his own pocket to enhance his training sessions. I have noticed a pronounced improvement in my mental and physical well-being. I believe Brendon is making a valuable contribution to the UQ community and never hesitate to recommend him to others.

Brendon has been taking bootcamp sessions for out staff for the past 12 weeks. Even though there were all levels of fitness in the classes, Brendon has catered for everybody. He pushed us to our own limits at each session. Even though the classes were tough, they were a lot of fun. I can say personally that my level of fitness has improved greatly in the 12 weeks and I have discovered muscles I never knew I had! I highly recommend Brendon for any personal training requirements.

I have been training with Brendon for the past two years, and absolutely loved it. He has a no-nonsense approach and gets you straight to work. No two sessions are alike, except that they're always challenging and leave me feeling exhausted and happy.
