“Despite now being in my 50s I am in better shape than I was 20 years ago. At my age it is easy to feel like your peak fitness is well behind you, so it blows me away that I am still hitting lifting PBs and other fitness goals.”
Please tell us about your results?
I have been training with Drive fitness for about 8 years now and have loved both personal training with some great trainers like Nate, Jesse and Tom and boot camp sessions in that time. I enjoy the transformation challenges especially at the start of the year as a great way to re-set after the Christmas/New Year party season and set the tone for the rest of the year.
Please tell us how your trainer helped you achieve your results?
’m always pretty chuffed to get an honourable mention and was blown away to have won it this year dropping 5.2% body fat and gaining 1.8kg of muscle in 8 weeks!
Tom has been a champion keeping me motivated and my training consistent, challenging and varied. Importantly he has kept me moving forward in my training when I have any niggles or strains providing great work around strategies and mobility advice to help me heal. He’s a great cheerleader, and I think he was even more excited when I won the challenge than I was!

Despite now being in my 50s I am in better shape than I was 20 years ago. At my age it is easy to feel like your peak fitness is well behind you, so it blows me away that I am still hitting lifting PBs and other fitness goals ….. who knew a 52 year old could gain 1.8kg of muscle in 8 weeks?

As I’ve said the fact that I am still setting and reaching goals. I’ve always loved deadlifts so reaching a PB of 160kg was pretty cool too (thanks Jesse).
“I’ve lost 21.3kg this year and have increased strength in all areas, feeling happier and healthier all round! It’s always great seeing results, and losing weight and increasing my overall health has been fantastic.”* - Nick
“Under Matt’s careful guidance, I have slowly regained my strength, drive and well-being. I am working towards going to a gym, independently. Each day, Matt has a fitness plan that increases my capacity and resilience for fitness. He carefully monitors how I move and is very supportive in demonstrating exercises or correcting the way I do the exercise, to gain maximum benefit.”* - Trudy
