I started my journey to better health with Leon recently and I must say definitely well worth it.
The training program, nutritional plan and advice/ encouragement I get from him weekly has been awesome, even if he taps into the psychological side of things. A little confronting BUT this is what it's all about, better health both physically and mentally. Thanks Leon!

Leon is exceptional as what he does, his work ethic and commitment to helping his clients achieve their goals is admirable. He has helped so many with their fitness journey as well as their mental well being. His knowledge in the fitness industry, dedication to his clients and his willingness to go far and beyond makes him the best personal trainer / coach on the Sunshine Coast.

Shivaguru Kumar

I cannot thank Leon enough for all the help he has provided. He is one of the best coaches, but he touches his clients life beyond just training. When I was going through a tough time, he reached out to me and got me out of my depression. Absolutely thankful to have him on my side. the kind of friendship that was built and how much he has taught me about resilience, persistence, discipline has helped me find my strength.
I cannot recommend him enough and also he will keep you accountable, he will get you to your best self, even when you don’t believe you can.

Leon is incredibly talented, knowledgeable, yet so very humble. He’s motivational, passionate, disciplined, always looking for ways to improve, but most importantly, he ingrains these same qualities in the athletes he coaches. He is the kindest human I've had the pleasure to know and his energy and enthusiasm is contagious. My confidence was extremely low when I started my journey with Leon. I had poor self esteem and even though I'd competed for 2 years, I had a terrible relationship with food and self image and needed a serious change.

Leon's coaching style is one that guides you towards working on answers on your own through a journey of reflection of your behaviors, motivations and actions. Mindset is an integral part of Leon's coaching and everyday he teaches you something to better yourself and your mindset. Communication is key with Leon and every conversation leaves you feeling empowered and energised.

Leon cares enormously about everyone he works with. His training builds well conditioned athletes, but most importantly, his approach builds confidence in his athletes to believe in their ability to reach their full potential.

Sandi Osborne

I've been a client with Leon for the last 8 years and couldn't recommend him and his gym highly enough! From someone that was incredibly intimidated of lifting weights, I now love working out with weights, but Most importantly I feel confident and strong and have a newfound love for training. I can’t recommend Leon highly enough.

Kel Watkins

I’ve been trained by this beautiful human being for 7 months now.
When I met Leon I was exhausted, lost and vulnerable
I am so thankful to have Leon take me on and to be part of my journey and goal.
His knowledge, expertise, passion for this sport is outstanding and to have a coach whom has his heart on his sleeve, generally cares for his clients and promotes and dignifies a clean sport.
You walk into head quarters he has an abundance of energy and a smile that’s infectious.
To put it simply Leon is the Craig Bellamy of this sport.
I’m forever blessed and thankful

Jeannine Paterson

I have only been training with Leon for a few weeks but already noticing change. I love the weekly check ins as it helps keep me stay accountable and on track. The program is great especially for people who work full time and need some flexibility with their training. Leon is always there to answer questions along the way, and super fast at responding. He is knowledgeable and lives by example as such an inspirational person. He is one of the most positive people I’ve ever met - always has a smile that will brighten your day - his positivity is totally infectious. If you need help with goal setting and a coach who will help you achieve them then Leon is your guy.

I have been training with Leon for over a year know but have known Leon for over 4 years . His athletes are of high standards and always very friendly and professional when I have interacted with them . No question is ever dumb to Leon . His knowledge and experience is of the highest quality while ensuring your mental well-being is on point . He knows you more than you know yourself and there’s something special about Leon
He believes in you that’s why I call him the king because his straight forward and he doesn’t put his Clients through anything that he has been through . There is a reason his won Mr Australia. His not the talk his the walk

Kyle

Absolute legend of a coach! Super professional to work with. Not only raises the bar for physical conditioning, he strives to work on your mental health. He is a coach that anyone can be proud to call their mate, goes well and truly above what is required of him.
