Strive for Fitness

I’m feeling so ecstatic to have found Vanessa at Strive For Fittness. I have trained many different ways over my years but I’m loving the training, space, people and support I get here. The feeling of achievement in my own personal goals, my own headspace, but next to great people is awesome. I’m addicted to being here. Love the laughter, love the sweat!!

I’ve been training with Vanessa from Strive for almost a year in her group and individual fitness programmes and can not speak more highly of her service. I have high expectations when it comes to my fitness experience and Vanessa delivers! Her group and individual sessions get the heart rate up, work all the muscle groups and are good fun. Vanessa works hard to provide a good value fitness programme to suit her members.

Best trainer in the biz! Originally signed up for a 12 week challenge back in July post-lockdown... 12 weeks turned into 13... now 9 months later I'm hooked! Have been seeing huge progress both physically and mentally.Ness is always so flexible with workout times and is thorough with her communication. The environment is supportive, fun and just the right amount of challenging. Plus I've met some great people. Thanks Ness!

When I met Vanessa for the first time, I was 20kg overweight and in need of some “body” repair. After a car accident I had put on a stack of weight, lost motivation & needed to get back on track in preparation for spinal surgery. My goal and intention was clear, Vanessa took all of this onboard and went about helping me to get “strong”, I credit Vanessa with getting me to a point where when I had surgery I was fit and strong. After surgery Vanessa worked in with recommendations from surgeons & physio’s on how to get me back on track.I credit Vanessa & the “tribe” at Strive for getting me through these last 3 years, I am stronger, fitter, toned & less heavy than when I started. The support you get from Vanessa is incredible and the community she has built of fellow “Strivers” are amazing, you never join a gym thinking you will make lifelong friends but this is what I have done.This is not just a gym this is a lifestyle, Vanessa creates individual programs for everyone, working with you to achieve your goals and adapts when you need to.Stive is a supportive, encouraging, welcoming, friendly environment where you can truly be you, achieve your goals all the while smiling and enjoying yourself.Words cannot express my gratitude for what Strive & Vanessa have done for me.If you have eve been hesitant to join a gym/PT – come try Strive

Thanks Vanessa, another great Beachfit session today. Always challenging, never dull, very friendly, encouraging and professional. The Floreat Beach backdrop is superb. Can't wait for the weather to warm up so we can get into that ocean after training.

It took me awhile to sign up but I am now kicking myself I didn't start earlier with Vanessa. I work shift work which makes getting to a normal club with group fitness sessions consistently is hard, so i just stopped going all together. Vanessa has been very flexible and has worked hard to get my sessions in around my rotating roster and even make up for sessions I have missed due to being stuck at work.I use to go to a gym and just do my own thing but was not getting results. Having Vanessa keep an eye on me, correcting my style, whilst keeping training interesting, has kept me coming back for more!The group sessions on the weekend cater for all fitness ranges and everyone walks away with a smile after good session and a laugh. The sessions during the week really focus on each individual at training.Thanks for getting me moving again Vanessa.

We never thought we would actually enjoy trying to get fit and in the past had only viewed it as an arduous task. We have been so pleasantly surprised since we enlisted Vanessa to come to our home twice a week. We feel confident that we will achieve the necessary fitness level for our skiing rip. Vanessa has made it enjoyable and fun, even though it's pretty tough. We wish we had done this years ago. Very effective and very motivational. Thank you Vanessa.

I never thought I would do group training as I was not your average size and was not very fit. When I was introduced to Vanessa through a friend who had highly recommended her, Vanessa assured me that the group sessions were very welcoming, catered to everyone's individual physical capability and were fun. I was sceptical but Vanessa had a way of making me feel comfortable from the first phone call. So I decided, enough was enough, I was not going to.shift my weight without a trainer and jumped right in. Everything Vanessa said on the phone was true.From my first semi-private group I was welcomed by the other members, as well as at group sessions. We always had a laugh. I never felt out of place and people celebrated their wins together. I was so impressed that the group training sessions were always different.I got to really enjoy going to training sessions and loved the coffee catch ups after weekend training.For a period of time, I had an injury and Vanessa liaised with my physio and adjusted what I was doing at training to help with my training which was great.Not only is Vanessa a great personal trainer, she was so incredubly kind and supportive when I hit roadblocks with different aspects of my weight loss journey.I can highly recommend Vanessa to anyone, especially if you have a lot of weight on and want the right trainer and supportive member group.

I love training with Vanessa! She always keeps it challenging and fun. All sessions are individualised and tailored to my needs/goals.Vanessa is very professional and knows what she is talking about!I love the fun atmosphere that she provides. This is a very family friendly group! Give it a go!
