What Our Clients Say
Client Testimonials
Col and the team at GSD has created an all inclusive close knit team that make you feel like family, you’re not just a number at GSD. When the chips are down, when you catch an injury, when you lose all motivation, when you’re stuck in a rut, Col never gives up on you and his support is unwavering – providing endless options, contact and support. I think this is the true test of a trainers motivation, he truly wants to see the best version of you and is there to support you every step of the way – inside and outside of the gym – training, nutrition and very importantly, mindset. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
GSD performance has been the best thing to ever happen to me. I started getting PT’s with Dani who instantly made me feel welcome. She sat me down to speak about what goals I wanted to hit and has been a key motivator in all aspects of training and mindset. Along side my PT’s I also attend some morning and afternoon classes where I have been able to extend my knowledge in all things posture, form and ability to lift some heavy shit! Col has been a wonderful coach to learn from and took me under his wing from the first day I started.
GSD… what a place to be. Banter, biceps & a bunch of beauties. Look good, move well & positive relationships. It’s an all in one experience, not just a gym!
I started at GSD almost 12 months ago and haven’t looked back. GSD has become part of my lifestyle and is the greatest factor in me moving, feeling and living better. There is a real sense of community at GSD; just a good bunch of people wanting to see each other be awesome versions of themselves.
If you want a gym where the coaches focus on technique and personal improvement in nutrition and health GSD is your gym. Set your goals, GSD will get you there!
If you want a full body functional gym for your health, to keep fit, preventing any injuries with focus on proper technique and have a good time time then GSD is your place in the hills.
By far the best gym in the hills!
I felt comfortable from the second I walked into GSD! Gyms can often be very intimidating for me but the coaches at GSD and all of the members are so welcoming and encouraging. Such an amazing community of people to be a part of.
I’ve felt so welcomed and comfortable at GSD from day one. I love that all exercises can be tailored for your skill level and strength so you always get the right workout for you. The coaches and members are all so lovely and genuinely want to be there which makes it such a great community!
GSD has felt like more than a gym since the moment I stepped through the door. A big focus on technique, movement and nutrition makes everything you do in the gym so applicable in day to day life. The community is like no other i’ve come across. So glad I have found a gym home.
GSD offers a safe, fun and friendly training environment. You’re guaranteed to walk out of each session feeling strong, and supported by the fantastic coaches who are always there to listen and help you achieve your goals.
Being a little older we didn’t want to go to any mainstream 24 hour gym. We were referred to Colin at GSD and straight away felt comfortable and part of the crew. In just 9 months with the guidance and support of awesome coaches and all the members we are stronger, healthy, better at nutrition, have more energy and most importantly a positive mindset each day. We have lost over 20 kilos and the leanest we’ve been in years. GSD is a way of life for us now.
GSD is my second home and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I have never felt so comfortable, fit and healthy. Since the day I started at gsd, my life changed completely and I would never look back! If you want to kick some serious goals and have more than just a gym, join a community with the best members going around! GSD performance is the place to be.
GSD is a place where you feel supported and encouraged to help you achieve your goals. The coaches are masters of technique and will make sure that the level of skill and difficulty is right for you! Returning to the gym after having a baby, I was feeling a little scared and uncertain, but my mind was at ease as I was assured that I was in the best of hands! Now, I have never felt stronger and determined and am absolutely loving every step of my postpartum journey!
