“Hamish's passion and technical knowledge are astounding. The Doctor overseeing my recovery, who looks after a national sporting team, reviewed my program and progress. They were confident I had a path to a sustainable recovery and ruled out an initial recommendation of surgery.”

I have had a long history of sporting injuries which recently culminated with two slipped discs in my back and a torn tendon in my knee. I consulted Hamish after the many visits to chiropractors and physios felt like a band-aid solution.

Hamish provided a thorough program of recalibrating how I moved and activated muscles to build the strength and awareness to rehabilitate and prevent further injuries. Hamish's passion and technical knowledge are astounding. The Doctor overseeing my recovery, who looks after a national sporting team, reviewed my program and progress. They were confident I had a path to a sustainable recovery and ruled out an initial recommendation of surgery.

I can't thank Hamish enough.

I consider myself very fortunate to have found Hamish at Connect PT almost 2 years ago, and even more so that he continues to agree to train me.

I presented to Hamish with a multitude of complaints really from regular back, knee and hip pain to a general weakness that led to a lack of confidence in my body and physical prowess. My sleep pattern was shocking, and I was finding peri-menopausal life difficult with a slow persistent weight gain. My history with Personal Trainers wasn’t fabulous, I had seen 3 or 4 prior to meeting Hamish who weren’t quite the right fit for various reasons.

Hamish is a man of great professionalism and integrity, his knowledge in his field and understanding of the mechanics of the human body and mind is impressive and reassuring. Even so, he is very humble and personable, one is quickly put at ease in his presence which is no small feat considering some of the positions one finds themselves in at times during a PT session.

I find Hamish is very mindful of my personal space, I have never felt uncomfortable as a woman sometimes does in a gym situation around men – I am not at all self-conscious around Hamish. Hamish has a holistic attitude to what he does and is understanding of how life, in general, can affect your ability to and how you train in any given session. His awareness of the complexities of a female in her early 50s is commendable, I get the feeling he has a general understanding of the female complexities of any age actually.

Almost 2 years on I have no back pain, even after working 18 hours on the frontline during the pandemic. No pain at all actually, I am much more confident in my body and its abilities, I feel stronger and I am told I hold myself much better. My work days don’t seem as long and I have energy left to burn at the end of the day. I am sleeping through the night, something I hadn’t done for years prior to meeting Hamish.

My disposition is much happier – likely because I am not in pain, and I’m not tired which is great for those that are required to spend time with me.

I would strongly encourage anyone who has similar complaints to me when I started to make the commitment to themselves and begin training with Hamish, I absolutely know without a doubt you won’t regret it.

In 2022 I embarked on a personal well-being journey that has achieved significant outcomes in fitness, strength and energy, self-esteem and confidence, and a 20% loss of overall body weight. This would have not been possible without the one-on-one coaching that Hamish from Connect PT provided.

Hamish developed an individually tailored and holistic program that has resulted in sustainable behavioral change in all aspects of my life.

Hamish knows when to push you and provides a safe environment in which you can truly express what you are thinking, feeling and/or struggling with.

I am now seeing Hamish three times a week because I want to, as opposed to feeling I need to.

I started working with Hamish around 2 years ago. At the start, I was skeptical that anyone could help me with my aches, pains, and lack of flexibility. Hamish immediately gained my trust and through our 3x weekly sessions, I am now so much more flexible, stronger and most importantly pain managed!

Hamish offers a personalised program but what makes him different from other personal trainers is that he really tunes into what I need to strengthen and balance - tweaking throughout my sessions and ensuring that I leave every time feeling activated and alive! He also gives me control over what I want to decide regarding my body shape and has given me the tools to know what I need to do for my weight and health. Hamish has an infectious laugh, a bundle of unique skills, and a service that is about the whole me.

I can’t live without him now!
