Pinnacle Performance: Opinions

5/5 (41 Opinions)
Lilly 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I'm in my 8th week at Pinnacle Performance. I did physio for two years for Persistent Perpetual Postural Dizziness, which is a debilitating condition that affected me physically and mentally. I became anxious, very weak, gained a significant amount of weight, then I injured a muscle near my spine and rib. The pain was so unbearable that I couldn't turn at night. I knew I needed to exercise and rebuild muscle. I attempted various exercise alternatives with no luck until I stumbled upon Pinnacle Performance. After just 10 sessions, my GP and physiotherapist were so impressed with the improvement in my health that I granted a disability allowance to cover gym membership fees. So far I have lost 9 kg without restricting food. There was a decrease in my resting heart rate from 82bpm to 68bpm. My dizziness tolerance has improved and muscle injuries have healed, plus I have many more accomplishments. I highly recommend the studio to anyone, but more specifically post physio clients as it has helped me so much. I'm never nervous to attend as it's just a small group training session with really lovely people. Hugh is the trainer, wonderful and welcoming, just like meeting an old friend.

Fantastic experience: I have had the pleasure of training at Pinnacle Performance for the past 10 months. The studio has a welcoming and motivating atmosphere, perfect for anyone at any level of their fitness journey. Hugh’s motivational style is both encouraging and inspiring. He pushes you to go beyond your own perceived limits. His positive energy is contagious, making every session something to look forward to. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete, Hugh adapts and fine-tunes workouts to match your level. So if you are like me those months ago wanting to make a change but don't know where to start then come along, give yourself 3 weeks and I promise you won't look back.

Fantastic experience: I've been on my fitness journey at Pinnacle for 3 months. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and supported not only by Hugh but by the whole community. This has made a significant difference in my motivation and progress. Hugh is knowledgeable and incredibly passionate about what he does. He took the time to understand my fitness goals and continuously pushes me to reach them. Since joining my mindset has improved and I'm enjoying pushing myself in every workout. I've made improvements in strength and overall fitness level. Thanks Hugh!

Fantastic experience: With Hugh's guidance at Pinnacle, I've discovered a love for fitness and wellness. His infectious energy and expertise have helped me stick to my goals and enjoy the journey. Thanks to Pinnacle, I'm proud to be setting a positive example for my children, who are also learning to prioritize their health and develop a healthy relationship with exercise.

Fantastic experience: Hugh cares. Right from when he showed me around the gym, to now that we are working together, he has had great attention to detail. His experience shows through and it is clear he has a wide range of experience. Shame about the singing, but hey, at least he is fine with putting on the music I choose!

Kalib Hibbs 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I hadn’t done any sort of semi private classes when it came to the gym before I had started at Pinnacle Performance with Hugh and Lexi and I was quite anxious about the whole situation but when I got in there and done a few of them I really started to enjoy it. The way Hugh pushes and motivates you to complete the workouts is great! I feel better in myself, I have more energy and I won’t be stopping anytime soon. If you are wanting to make a change in your life then I would highly recommend Pinnacle and the team to be your starting point.

Thankyou Pinnicle.

Rachael O'Reilly 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Going to a Gym is for me intimidating then I saw some friends were going to Pinnacle Performance so I went to meet Hugh and Lexi. Straight away I was put at ease. The classes are small and everyone is so encouraging. Going to a class is not a chore I'm seeing results with not only my body but my mind. I encourage anyone on the fence to just come and see give it a go. You won't regret it

Danielle Botha 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The team at Pinnacle Performance helped me understand that my body was capable of more than what I thought possible. They encouraged me to challenge and push myself and supported me when the hardest part was showing up. I am stronger than what I was 8 weeks ago and somewhere along the line my brain caught up with how to do some of the movements better. The focus is on every individual journey, and they helped me understand my why.

Mila Rollo 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Pinnacle for around six weeks now and can honestly say it is the best self investment I have ever made. Hugh and Lexi have been incredible and highly supportive. Even on the days you don't want to show up or lack motivation, Hugh ensures you work to the best of your ability and leave feeling x10 better than when you went in. I am now feeling stronger and better in myself than I did six weeks ago and cannot wait to see where the next six take me!

Fantastic experience: I would recommend Pinnacle Performance to anyone that is looking to better their health. Not only physically but mentally as Hugh is there to help you every step of the way. Hugh is very supportive and works hard to cater for all fitness levels to help achieve whatever goal you have set yourself.

Adam Bell 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: When I first turned up at Pinnacle Performance 7 weeks ago the only habit I had was eat what I want when I want with no exercise. Hugh has done an awesome job designing a workout program as well as a diet that works for my lifestyle, helping me have a more active lifestyle and reach my weight loss goal. I would highly recommend Hugh at Pinnacle Performance to anyone who is willing to change their fitness lifestyle and better their health.

Jamie Crilly 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a reluctant exerciser for, well my entire life of 51 yrs, but since started with Hugh at Pinnacle Performance a little over 2 months ago I now look forward to going every morning. Being able to choose my own sessions to attend, with a variety of times available is awesome but the best thing is not an abundance of mirrors to watch yourself exercise like you get in commercial gyms. Although the sessions have a maximum of 4 people, Hugh creates an ever changing plan based on bi-monthly testing. You do your own exercises and Hugh always seems to mange to spot me slacking off! He is always just there to help, encourage, and adjust the exercises when needed (either up or down in level) I have no hesitation to let everyone know how much Hugh has helped me to get fitter, stronger, more flexible, and happier in my life in general. I believe Hugh would be able to help anyone, in any shape, any fitness level to achieve their goals.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at pinnacle for 12 weeks now, and it’s been the best self investment. Hugh and Lexi have both been amazing and supportive, they are experts in their fields and will both get the results you need. Initially I was joining to just do a 12 week programme but now I’ll be staying on. Really enjoying the 2 classes a week. Great facility and a great community to be part of.

Lexi Andrews 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was hesitant about working with a new PT after a long-term commitment with my previous trainer but I decided I'd give PT Hugh a chance because I need the accountability from a PT to motivate my gym attendance and the session times worked perfectly for shift work. I've been consistently impressed with their approach to training and commitment to supporting their clients. My expectations were met and then subsequently exceeded and despite an often clashing view on the importance of burpees, I am so proud of the results PT Hugh has helped me achieve. With a holistic and fun approach to training and overall wellness plus a genuine passion for what they do, I know that on the days I don't believe in myself, I can believe in PT Hugh and the Pinnacle Performance team to support me in achieving my fitness goals through evidence based and functional training. 10/10 - I rate and recommend the Pinnacle Performance team!

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Hugh for a month now and feel like my body is changing and adjusting to the PT sessions, Im feeling alot more energetic and not so sore in some parts of my body. I'm adjusting to a new way of eating also which is helping me with my goal to loose weight. Hugh knows what he is taking about and gives you motivation and positive encouragement which makes the sessions enjoyable. I'm enjoying working with Hugh and highly recommend him. Give it a go and see how you feel after 12 weeks, like I said 4 weeks down and I'm feeling so good. Bring on the next 8 weeks. Thanks Hugh, you da man ‍♂️
