Fantastic experience: Foundation is not like other gyms, it's so much more! The staff are knowledgeable and welcoming and the small group training provides the perfect balance between Personal Training and a team culture / mentality. They team at Foundation have created a real community, with events and optional challenges that span all members - it's great fun, and everyone supports each other. They offer advice, support and guidance on overall health and wellbeing, stress management, mental health, breathwork as well as what you do on the gym floor, and how you manage your nutrition. While I've always played a lot of sport, I wasn't a gym bunny before joining Foundation, now I wouldn't give it up for anything!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym that actually cares about its clients. Very experienced team running the company. A winning formula & one that wants you to turn up to every session

Fantastic experience: I've been a member with Foundation for two years - this is the first time in my life I've consistently gone to a gym for anywhere near this long! The group experience is excellent for accountability, and the ratio of trainers to members (1 to 4) is ideal for individual attention to form and technique. The trainers genuinely care about members' health, including nutrition and stress management, and they're are also really fun to train with. I like that there's the possibility of swapping to a different session if I can't make my regular one. I've never been so strong as I am now, and as a woman in my middle years that's critical for better long term health outcomes.

Fantastic experience: I initially started PT training here with Cara, as she was my PT from another gym a few years back. I disliked the thought of group training and wasn’t keen to move into a group. But once I got to know the other trainers -Nathan, Phil & Max, I felt I had nothing to fear. I’ve been put into a group with like minded individuals and for someone who hated going to the gym, I really enjoy it now. All the PT’s are amazing to work with and only have your best interests at heart. You won’t find another gym with the most genuine, caring and supportive professional PT’s, who ensure you acheive your goals holistically. They are also quite fun for PT’s!

Anais Jousserand-Shirley 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: I joined Foundation Gym in May and I can honestly say it has changed my life for the better. The team of trainers are amazing and really supportive of fitness goals and help keep you accountable. The small group training classes are fantastic. Having such small classes means that you build a real community with those that you train with and everyone is very encouraging. If you want to train in a supportive environment with a great set of people then join Foundation.

Fantastic experience: Foundation not only provides the fitness side, it comes with overall accountability of your health topped with team spirit. The best thing about it is its a PT session but with a regular team of up to only 7 others. It just makes it all so easy and fun. You know when to show up each week, you don't have to plan your sessions or do one on your own, and you're pushed to your potential to get a quality workout 2-3 times a week, with all the adjustments and tweaks you'd expect from personalized training. Most importantly is the mindset shifts that come from the process and therefore the progress.

Jo Cameron 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Could not recommend this community more. I deliberately say community rather than gym as it is so much more than a gym. The vibe, the support, the banter - it all makes showing up so easy! The team are wonderful and work with you to achieve what you want to achieve! Give them a follow on Instagram - if for nothing other than the Friday Funny :) !!

Fantastic experience: Phil, Nath and the team are awesome. The group training approach has been key to me getting into a good routine and these guys help you across all aspects of your health and well-being.

Brett and Bridget Hibbert 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: So much more than a gym. It’s the full health and wellness package - top quality strength and fitness coaching, nutrition, goal setting and tracking, stress management, and in a small group dynamic. It’s as good as it gets.

Pat Fleming 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: GREAT place to work out. The Team really care about you as a person and the small group sessions keep you a countable and striving to improve.

Ashley Raki 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a client of Foundation for close to a year now. As a woman with PCOS & previous physical injuries, finding the right gym, who could work with the above and accommodate for my weight, was key. I initially reached out to Foundation & signed on with Ellen who instantly made me feel comfortable. Since then, I've come to find Foundation is both a gym & a community. One that holds no judgement, encourages & motivates you, promotes a positive environment & holds you accountable. I would highly recommend, the whole team (Nathan, Phil, Max & Cara) hold your best interests at heart, helps with your nutritional advice & supports you as you work towards your goals. Thanks team.

June McClintock 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was with Foundation for a couple of years and just loved it. Definitely more than a gym. Training with your own group meant that it was as much of a social occasion as work! The trainers are all so personable and really know their stuff - and all so supportive and encouraging. Would highly recommend!

Fiona McCourt 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Foundation makes everything that much easier. My running feels easier, prepping a healthy lunch feels easier, keeping to my gym schedule is easier and that’s all because all team has set me up for success, making a gym environment I love going to and helps to keep me on track with my goals. It’s the best investment I’ve made to my health!

Bria Sargent 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: If you’re stuck in a rut, lack motivation, struggling to get your nutrition right, not sure where to start with your strength and conditioning, don’t realise how important weight training is, especially for women, or just after some laughs and banter whilst training in a professional environment, then Foundation is the gym for you!

Jacqui Tebbs 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Foundation has a non-judgemental approach to fitness that just isn’t found in other gyms. They lift you, assist you and take a personal interest in your journey. Ellen, Max, Phil and Nate genuinely care about the people who they train and in how they help you achieve your goals. There is no pretence, show ponys or one-up-manship here - only a focus on what you want to achieve and how to achieve it.

kevin O'Connor 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been with Phil and Nathan in a small class setting for a couple of years now and have to say it’s been fantastic for me. The camaraderie of the group keeps you motivated and Nathan and Phil still provide tailored support during the classes. These sessions have conditioned me to continue actively coaching rugby and cricket teams while keeping my mental aptitude sharp as I progress to the gold card membership of old age. It truly is a family feeling.

Chris Richards 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been loving my time at Foundation. Phil and Nathan know their stuff, and are great at fostering a safe and supportive atmosphere in the small group classes. I thrive off the support and respect we all give each other, and haven't looked back since joining.

Sarah Gibson 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’m in my 50’s and only started going to the gym 5 years ago. It was pretty scary. Now it’s very natural to go to Foundation a few days a week, catch up with the amazing team and do my workout with Nathan. I’ve learnt so much about my well-being, beyond exercise, and now live a much healthier life. Foundation gym is a wonderful community to belong to. Thanks team!

Simon Martin 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Foundation is not really a gym. It is so much more than that. Nathan and Phil have created a community of people who care for each other, while also holding each other accountable. They are worth every cent and I couldn't be happier that I decided to join them.

Lolly McCafferty 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been training at Foundation for years, and have enjoyed the expected results like getting stronger, fitter and less stressed, but there's an added bonus, and that's the community. The group training is so fun, and also challenging enough that you'llsee improvements every week! I've met some lovely people at Foundation and I really appreciate how the team go above and beyond for everyone there. Phil, Nathan, Max and Cara are experts in their field, and they're also very thoughtful! Cheers team
