Jack is wonderful! He is a knowledgeable trainer who pushes us to our own limits, not some textbook idea of what we should be able to do. He is also just a great person to get to know. We highly recommend him to anyone wanting to improve their fitness and strength.

We are in Melbourne Bayside, and we’ve been training with Mia for the past three months and honestly couldn’t be happier. From day one, she has been incredibly punctual and professional. What really sets Mia apart is how personal and supportive she is — she knows exactly how to encourage you to push a little harder while still feeling supported.

Emily Smith is my personal trainer who has worked with me for the past few months. I have never had a PT before and I must say Emily was absolutely amazing and extremely professional. Emily actually gave me my life back as I have been troubled with poor health for a few years.

I’ve struggled to get into PT. Been a member of gyms for ages, but hated going. Honestly the PT I have, Steven Stocker (Steve) is the only one who’s had any success with me. I’m a very anxious person, so having someone calm yet motivating was the only reason I kept rocking up.

Highly recommend Get Going! My coach Mia D has been absolutely amazing! With her guidance I was able to lose 6kg in 5 weeks leading up to my wedding! But what has been even more impactful for me, was that Mia has been a huge support and has redefined my relationship with exercise.
