⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’ve been working with Johnny Salmon since February 2025, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. After keyhole back surgery in April 2023 for a herniated disc, my main goal was to strengthen my core and back safely and effectively. Johnny’s program, guidance, and mentoring have been instrumental in helping me achieve that. Thanks to his thoughtful and tailored approach, my back has improved significantly, with far less soreness and ongoing issues. My overall fitness level is the best it’s been in a long time, and my weight and general health are in a really good place. What truly sets Johnny apart is his encouragement and ability to make training something I genuinely enjoy. His program helped me stay consistent and turned exercise into a natural part of my daily routine rather than a chore. If you’re looking to improve your physical health, recover safely, and build lasting fitness habits, I highly recommend making Johnny part of your team to help you reach your health and fitness goals.

Personal Trainers

It took me close to 20 years to make the decision and commit to losing weight. I needed to get my life back on track. Starting my weight lose journey at 93. 9kg, I initiated the services of Johnny (CEO - Personal Trainer). Johnny proved to be an expert in his field. With the advice, the tracking app, training routines and discussions, Johnny geared everything to my needs which helped me along my weight loss journey. With the constant support from Johnny and my commitment to his advice, I lost 21.4kg in 15 weeks. Now, I am 72.5kg and feeling amazing. I look great and feel great. The quality of my lifestyle, family life and work have all improved exponentially.
I am highly appreciative and praise Johnny for his expertise, and commitment to my weight lose journey. I can’t see how I could have achieved my goals with his support.

I have a 24/7 job and there’s always a deadline instead of exercise. Booking with John makes me turn up and train every week. I’m over 50 so didn’t expect much. After a year I’m hugely fitter, sleep better, work better and I’m less tired despite the workout. My career trajectory also increased quite dramatically! Looking forward to the next year! More...

John is a fantastic fitness coach. He listened to my goals of wanting to learn how to weight train and taught me correct form to avoid future injuries and bad habits. He always ensured I was safe, while improving the amount I could lift and trying for max effort. I also liked his easy to use workout plan which meant I could continue to improve throughout the week.

John uses his experience and knowledge to tailor a suitable fitness program for his clients’ needs. I found his positive manner and good humour made the fitness sessions in the gym enjoyable. His good guidance on the correct use of various pieces of equipment quickly gave me confidence to use them on my own. My personalised program changed me from a non- walker with low stamina to an enthusiastic one with plenty of energy. John’s program has had a very positive effect on my fitness and health. More...

I’ve had a few fitness coaches and John has been the best! He doesn’t talk like a typical PT, he is very eloquent and good at getting me to motivate myself (with his help). I really liked the videos that he has shot himself, as they helped me with my form and I still hear his instructions in my head sometimes!

John Salmon's personal training has been an incredible catalyst for positive change in my life. From the start, John took the time to truly understand my goals, including my aspiration to join the defense force, as well as the challenges I faced in building discipline and improving my diet. His personalised approach ensures every workout and piece of advice feels tailored to me, never generic. What stands out most is John’s ability to break down what might seem like overwhelming goals into manageable steps, always making progress feel achievable. His balance of pushing you to your limits while providing steady support ensures you’re always growing without feeling defeated. John’s knowledge extends beyond fitness; his guidance on diet and lifestyle has been invaluable, helping me not just train harder but live healthier. I’ve never felt like I was doing this alone—his encouragement and understanding make every session motivating and worthwhile. If you’re looking for a coach who genuinely invests in your success and helps you become your best self, I can’t recommend John highly enough! More...

I’ve been training with John consistently for five months now, and when I first reached out, I was a bit apprehensive. His client base seemed more male-focused, and I wasn’t sure if he’d understand or be able to support some of the mental health challenges I face. I’ve been in recovery from bulimia for three years, and separating my disorder from my fitness goals has always been tough. At the time, I was eating only 1,000 calories a day and couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t losing weight or gaining muscle. Deciding to contact John was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and I haven’t looked back since. I started at 74 kilos, and while my weight hasn’t changed, my entire body has transformed. I’ve gained so much muscle, toned up in all the right places, and my glutes and quads have grown significantly! John has given me the confidence to properly nourish my body and still achieve incredible results. He’s not only one of the best trainers I’ve worked with—he’s also become an amazing friend. His ability to connect with his clients, find common ground, and build a relationship based on trust, accountability, structure, and goal setting is unmatched. If you trust him and the process, you’ll see results, but trust is key. John’s firm yet understanding approach, especially from a female perspective, has helped me feel strong, confident, and comfortable in my own skin again. More...

John Salmon is the best personal trainer I have ever worked with. He is the ultimate professional, focusing on correct form and thus resulting in better outcomes and no aches and strains. When I initially started with John I told my massage therapist and Physio that I had started with a PT. They both rolled their eyes and said that it was PTs that kept them in business due to incorrect form and over zealous training. However, John’s approach surprised them as he was prepared to work with them to assist my irks and injuries and added further insight and solutions. John does not work you until you throw up (a puzzling goal of some PT “specialists”). He also speaks to you in a normal voice, encouraging you without the need to yell and scream insults at you. John is a calm, respectful, professional Personal Trainer who gets results. More...

John and I have just spent 10 weeks working together on getting my technique right, pushing workouts to my limit and working on consistency in aspects of life that will help keep my physical performance at peak. John is very informative & professional. He doesn't wear a cap backwards indoors, watch himself flex in front of clients in the wall mirror or scream at you to push past physical pain you feel during workouts. Instead he notices pain and finds if it physical or mental with the client and suggests stretches to better performance for the next session. Although he is no nutritionist, he does offer great advice about food portioning and suggests ways to get more healthy whole foods into the diet. I could not recommend anyone else as a home based PT, he is friendly, professional and is always keen to get straight into PT so you get the best value for money. More...
