How long have you been a member of DeakinACTIVE?
I’ve been a member for two and a half years.
Why did you choose DeakinACTIVE?
The gym is in a perfect location and is very convenient for working on campus. When I moved from Waterfront to Waurn Ponds, I thought it was a great opportunity to make the gym part of my daily routine from the start. Having an initial health consultation and gym induction with a PT was a fantastic way to get started and really set me up for success. I’ve tried other gyms in the past and either haven’t been able to fit it into my daily schedule or have felt uncomfortable and out of place, but everyone at DeakinACTIVE is really friendly and encouraging. They make it easy for me to show up each week and keep working towards my goals.
What benefits have you noticed since joining DeakinACTIVE?
I have noticed my physical health has improved, and I have a lot more energy to keep up with my 6 year old son! My posture has also improved and I’ve had less back pain. I really notice the difference on the days I go to the gym – my energy levels are higher, I’m more productive at work and my mood is generally better. Setting aside a few mornings each week to do something for myself also helps me to be more present when I’m at home with my family.
Would you recommend DeakinACTIVE to others?
Absolutely, it’s convenient, the perfect size and the staff are amazing – I have to mention the world’s best personal trainer, Luke! I never thought I’d be a gym person, but DeakinACTIVE make it easy ~ Caitlin H.
How long have you been a member of DeakinACTIVE?
I have been a member of DeakinACTIVE for 10 years.
Why did you choose DeakinACTIVE ?
I love the range of classes, particularly spin. I loves the cardio side, and I now enjoy cardio rather than feeling like I have to do it. The classes and trainers have also helped me recover from injury.
What benefits have you noticed since joining Deakin Active
My general health has improved, I am maintaining a healthy weight and building my muscle strength. I have much better mental state and coming to Deakin Active gives him mental clarity.
