Since I started my program I have lost 5 kilograms and dropped my body fat percentage by 6 percent to just 7 percent. I feel better and have never looked better. I have recently enrolled in a triathlon and hope to make it the first of many sports competitions. The scientific approach really opened my eyes to how easy it can be given the right direction!

I feel fitter than I have in ages. I like the way you change the exercises each time, so I don’t get bored. I feel more energetic in everyday life and during exercise I don’t get as exhausted as I used to. ..You just have to turn up on time and the rest takes care of itself! You don’t even have to be that motivated to begin with, that will happen naturally after a few sessions. Thanks very much for your support and encouragement Alex, and I am really glad that my partner is seeing you now too. He told me on the weekend that his knee has never felt better! Fantastic.

I would like to acknowledge Alex Cox-Taylor for the professional and caring service that he has provided to me. Alex has been training me for well over two years now.

What I most applaud about the service that Alex provides is that he approaches his service from many different angles. It is not just about providing a customized program to meet my changing needs. Alex also demonstrates that he cares about my health and well-being, both now and for the future. He has provided me with a home program which is great for rainy days or when I am a bit time-poor. At age 45, he has helped me transition from walking to jogging, which I haven’t done since I was 18 (apart from the odd burst on the treadmill). I now frequently join Alex for the 4klm River Run. Last year a group of us participated in the Bridge to Brisbane once you have done it the first time it is no longer an unknown, daunting experience.

Alex frequently stretches me out of my comfort zone to exercises and intensities that I would not choose or attempt to do on my own yet in the doing of them, it is shown that it is within my capacity. He also has a great network of other professional services to refer to when additional areas of expertise are required.

Alex walks his talk. He is committed to providing a very high standard of information, education and implementation towards sustainable, healthy, lifestyle changes. I have recommended others to Alex’s services and they have made outstanding changes to their health and well-being. I am very happy to recommend Alex and the lab team for anyone desiring to improve their health and fitness.

Thanks so much Alex I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to do this work with you.

Sincerely,
Jane Buxton, Performance & Development Coach

I have been training with the lab for 12 months now. In that time I have lost approximately 15 kilograms in weight and have completely transformed my body shape and metabolism. I would say that never in my life have I been this fit. Most importantly, never before in my life have I been able to achieve this. What has come into the equation is guidance from a highly qualified and supportive exercise physiologist. Whilst Alister guides me in extending my strength and fitness levels, he also monitors very closely all my activities so that my health and fitness improve without any injury or negative impact whatsoever.

The weight loss and fitness is great, but there are even more intangible benefits I am now enjoying. Somehow, my stressful job no longer feels so stressful, priorities are easier to see, and decision making comes more easily. Other “daily grind” activities don’t seem so bad either.

The other great thing is that I love to look at all the enjoyable activities I can now do and have the fitness to do- whether it’s going for a surf, or doing a yoga class. I have the energy and enjoy the moments for these things.

I would highly recommend bringing these positive and hard working people into your life. At every level, the benefits are too good to pass up.

I started at The Lab after being advised on numerous occasions that my health would significantly benefit from reduced weight. I was not confident that I could do it on my own and therefore looked around for a personal trainer. The Labs’ approach seemed to fit in with me making it an obvious choice.

I have been training with Barry for about three months. In that time I have lost a significant amount of weight and am well on my way to achieving my target weight. I have also benefited from strengthening and conditioning and have learned more about the body in the process.

Training with Barry maximizes the benefit I get out of exercising. From the moment I get there, to the time I leave, I’m working pretty hard for the whole hour. Exercising at that level is not always easy for me. Barry’s encouragement and experience makes my training as enjoyable and rewarding as possible.
