TESTIMONIALS
"The best gym I’ve ever belonged to. Very no-nonsense plans and the How To Train Programme gave heaps of confidence in the fundamental lifts. Always able to use the equipment I need (so many squat racks and deadlift platforms!). Very chill vibe, no idiots, and everyone minds their own business, and respects each other's space. 10/10 would recommend, especially if you’re sick of commercial gyms." Keri

"Please, do yourself a favour, pick up the phone and book your first session with Graham. You will not regret it. I went to Graham to tone up and create some strength. I had 2 sessions with him per week for about 6 months. With Graham's PT classes I never hesitated about showing up, and crucially for me, I never checked the clock during each session. Graham really takes the time to build a strong rapport and backs his wide array of knowledge with credible science. He is incredibly supportive, but you work hard. He tailors every session, so it never gets boring and the chat and banter make it fly by. The results were phenomenal. I Can't recommend his training programme highly enough." David S. McLay

"I started training at The Platform to help with the sport I play, but I now love training in its own right. Training here has helped not only with my physical strength and general physical fitness but also with my mental health and confidence.
The Platform has an excellent range of cardio and weightlifting equipment, so your current ability and future capability are both catered for.
The gym has a really awesome friendly chill vibe and I enjoy the flexibility of it being open 24/7.
I really enjoyed the How to Train Programme as an introduction to training. It covers a range of exercises so once you reach the end of it you know how to use pretty much all of the equipment correctly. Graham explains both the how and the why of all the exercises to help you train correctly for your goals. He also works with you to find variations/exercises that work best for you. I found Graham to be a helpful, patient, and knowledgeable coach." Sarah Cordiner
"Anxiety and an insane schedule rule my life. With The Platform's help, I've finally been able to create (with Graham's help) a workout routine and stick to it. The daily combinations of strength/cardio/whatever I want; is exactly what I needed to get a firm foot in the fitness world. His How To Train Programme has actually taught me why I do things. So I'm not just following a script anymore!" Elsje
"I highly recommend the how to train programme. Throughout the 3 months I was constantly surprised by my rapid self-improvement and understanding of the theory behind each lift. thanks to Graham's guidance and thorough explanations throughout the programme I am now more confident in the gym, as I know how to train. the gym itself is also so refreshing to walk into, it's almost like everyone leaves their baggage at the door so they can focus on training. Because of this, everyone is so welcoming, friendly and keen to help anyone who asks. Looking back all I needed was direction and that's exactly what I got. Please consider the how to train programme if you feel a bit lost (like i did), it will only help and benefit you." Malinda Birchler
The 12-week how to train programme has been fantastic. I've quickly improved my technical lifting abilities and strength due to Graham's excellent programme and oversite. Strength is how we interact with the world, whether it's throwing your kids around or pushing the lawnmower, both are now easier and more enjoyable. The Platform is a fun place to train. there is a friendly community atmosphere, with people of all levels working towards their various goals. I cannot recommend both The Platform and the learn how to train programme enough. It will be life-changing if you want it." Gordon
"We did it! Rob and I completed the 12-week how to train programme at The Platform. We've enjoyed the journey, laughed a lot, learnt a lot, and we may have experienced a little DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness). I have a few arm muscles that I haven't seen before, and I can lift more weight than I ever expected. According to Graham; mine is a completely ordinary outcome. I love that the 12-week programme is designed to teach the novice gym-goer the basic principles of training and foster independence to use much of the equipment in the gym and to perform the basic lifts. The programme is tree days a week, which is enough to see some progress while still being manageable. We're looking forward to starting the next programme. Thanks Graham!" Robyn Johnston
"This programme is really good value. I've been learning heaps. What to do makes way more sense now instead of just trying to copy Instagram clips. And I've been learning more about how much weight to use instead of just maxing out and then feeling like shit. I feel way better, my squat has close to doubled since I've been on this programme, all my lifts have gone up and I fell less tired. I'm on to my next programme now that Graham made for me after the how to train programme. I'm understanding how to adjust things now, this is real cool!" Aku Morrow
"The 12-week programme with Graham took me from a nervous novice to a confident learner. Now on my third programme with Graham, it is designed to my goals, expanding my skills, and keeping my interest (and me) strong." Rob Elshire
