I am 67 years old and have done my very best to avoid sports and exercise for most of my life! But this changed a couple of years ago when I was coerced by a friend into joining Tuesday’s ‘senior ladies group’, which, led by JC, focused on core strengthening, balance and general fitness. After a couple of sessions I was hooked, so much so that I also joined Lisa’s Thursday group. I love it…JC and Lisa easily create an environment that is friendly and fun, and now I am fit and trim. I have never felt so well. I even begrudge going on holidays, because I don’t want to miss my gym classes!!! When our American son-in-law stayed with us at Christmas, our gift to him was one-on-one sessions with JC. A very experienced gym attender in the US, our son-in-law thought JC was the best personal trainer he had ever worked with. His wish is for JC to move to California!

JC has a reputation as a cross-country ski coach, and he can ski pretty well to boot. JC is also a master at producing both ski -specific training programs that work, devising all manner of ways of conditioning any muscle that might exist, and quietly encouraging attainment of even greater goals. His depth of knowledge, across a range of endurance and other sports is a wonderful asset to be able to use. The resulting improvements in my own performance have been beyond expectations. The Alta Fitness facility is a very nice place to train at, to be able the use the really neat equipment, to be working in the same space as others who are equally committed to their own goals, whatever the level and intent, guided by a knowledgeable, supportive and friendly training team.

I love ALTA Fitness - the PT has helped me 'add life to my years'. JC and Linda and the rest of the team of trainers are passionate about helping people reach their fitness goals and they are exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable in a wide range of exercise techniques to adapt to any issue (eg in my case a chronically stiff lower back) to find a way to make you fitter and stronger. The circuit classes are also great - short (30 mins) and sharp and energetic the exercises work on mind as well as body, and are fun. I also like that it has a friendly vibe and is welcoming to all ages and stages of life. After many years I am still attending, am stronger, and more flexible, and feel more positive about tackling daily work and other responsibilities.

We have been clients of Alta Fitness for a few years and have been enjoying the care and attention by the amazing staff, Estelle , Linda and JC during our group sessions or as now individual sessions. Full attention is given to any questions we may have, my husband's health now requires a change of exercise and this is very carefully monitored by Estelle, whilst at the same time making the session fun and interesting. The size of the gym space is just right, without the overpowering noise of music and countless other users. For us this gym and of course the great staff give just what we need, plus other class or online options when it comes to taking care of your health and well being. Thank you all for care and support Jenny and Ian

I’d try memberships at a couple of gyms just before and after I retired but soon lost interest. The barns and impersonal approach just didn’t suit. ALTA is different. In one-to-one sessions you get guided to exercise that is right for you and gently pushed to give just a bit more. Group sessions are small enough(3-8) that a bit of individual guidance can occur and just as importantly the camaraderie definitely builds and enhances the enjoyment. The gradual increase in body strength, flexibility and endurance I have gained has not brought me back to my mid 20s. But it has enhanced life in general and enabled us to undertake two week hikes here and overseas which I doubt I could have accomplish before regular sessions at ALTA.

Gym with the most capable trainers From the first time I walked into the door, I felt welcomed by the most capable cohort of trainers. They are knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about helping you achieve your fitness goals. The trainers are skilled at tailoring each session to your individual needs, taking into account any muscle aches or injuries. They are also experts at making alterations to exercises to ensure you can train safely and effectively. In addition to providing great training, the trainers also have good conversation on a variety of topics. I highly recommend Alta to anyone looking for a supportive and challenging fitness environment with the most capable trainers.

A keen client of Alta Fitness for several years, I have the Alta team to thank for my improved level of fitness. Unlike other gymnasiums, Alta offers a very personalised approach within a calm and happy environment. I look forward to my weekly group, and one-on-one, classes and have formed many friendships with fellow group participants. Following a serious accident in the US last year (which included multiple arm and leg fractures), I credit JC and Linda with my extremely successful rehabilitation. There is absolutely no way I would be functioning so well physically if it wasn't for JC and Linda. I will be forever grateful.

JC and Linda are fantastic to train with! When I began to train with Alta I was surrounded with support from day one and the feeling of community in the gym was exceptional. The one on one and small group sessions are well structured and it's always fun even when it's a tough session! The gym is like a big family. They regularly join in at events like Parkrun in the local area and all of the other members cheer one another on as well. Alta has helped me to achieve my goals and I would recommend to everyone across all levels of exercise.

ALTA Fitness is a fantastic personal training studio in Canterbury, with a natural, light-filled studio and some of the nicest trainers you will meet! Linda and JC are the heart of ALTA, and are well supported by a team of trainers who reflect their passion and care for their clients. They run 1:1 sessions as well as a range of small group sessions suiting every level of fitness. I highly recommend ALTA if you are looking to make a positive impact on your health and well-being.

It's been exactly a year since I joined ALTA Fitness, it benefits me in many areas of my life. My body is more toned, my energy level increased, and doing exercise always makes me happy by producing dopamine in my brain . Overall, it helps me to maintain both my physical and mental health. And most importantly, Linda is the best trainer I have ever met, she is a truely nice person, she has great empathy to her clients, and she loves what she does.

This is a fantastic gym that takes a holistic view of health and individualises exercise programs to maximise enjoyment and benefits. It has a really lovely, supportive atmosphere and a great range of well maintained equipment. The owners JC and Linda are extremely knowledgeable, capable and caring people who make everyone who comes through the door feel welcome. Would highly recommend this business to achieve your fitness and quality of life goals!

As an elite athlete I can attest that Alta Fitness is an extraordinary boutique gym that packs a punch. Linda and JC are extremely knowledgeable, experienced and versatile in what they do. They take a tailored and care-full approach to every new customer and are able to make sure no stone is unturned in working towards your goal while also creating a vibrant and fun approach. You’ll get abs from smiling in there!

JC at ALTA Fitness has a wealth of knowledge and experience, is always abreast of change and innovation, and best of all, if you have an injury you can be confident he will have a strategy and program that will help. At ALTA he has created a great place to work out. I love JC's sense of humour, passion for fitness and life, and ability to work with all ages including elite XC ski athletes with whom I work.

A well designed gym with very high quality equipment; it is spacious, clean and aesthetically pleasing. It is a small and very private gym that offers personalised programs emphasising recovery and injury prevention. The staff and instructors are very knowledgeable and experienced. We would recommend it to any elite athlete but also to those beginning the fitness journey.

JC, Linda and the rest of the team are amazing. Alta Fitness has made an enormous difference to the quality of life of myself and my husband. We are in our seventies. We train regularly with Alta and consequently, have been able to complete some amazing hikes across Europe in our retirement. Our active and very enjoyable retirement owes a lot to Alta.

Worked at this place for around 2 years and I can say it was a great place to up skill in every thing exercise and lifestyle related. Which paired great while I was completing my Masters of Clinical Exersice Physiology at University. Was well supported by JC and Linda, and were very accommodating to the changes in schedule University would present.

JC is an incredibly knowledgable strength and conditioning coach. He has a deep understanding of how the human body moves and how to build effective sessions and programs. Strength work is such an important part of a healthy lifestyle! I would highly recommend working with ALTA Fitness to achieve your strength goals or to optimize your life!

I've been going here regularly for the past few months and have to say that it has been an amazing fitness experience. I have been coached by JC, Lisa and Linda and every one of them really listen and cares about your goals. This isn't a one size fits all place aa they really cater to who you are and what you need. Highly recommended.

Cannot recommend this gym highly enough - I have never worked out before and was nervous going the first time - but JC and Linda are warm, friendly, patient and happy to work with me even when I have challenging health issues. Now I love it and am disappointed if I miss a week. Its been a year now and Im planning on many more.

This studio is such a gem of a place! JC and Linda have created such a caring atmosphere. They really know their stuff and can work with fit, active people right through rehab and elderly clients to give them a great outcome without re-aggravating or causing injury. We really value them being in our area. Highly recommend!!!

JC and Linda are exceptional personal trainers based in the heart of Mont Albert. They operate a unique, personalised service and take you on a shared journey for better health and fitness. Give them a try as you will not be dissappointed and you'll be able to keep playing and partipating in the sports that you love.

I’ve been going to Alta for a few months and I’ve noticed a gradual improvement in my golf particularly stamina by the end of the round and a drop by 2 strokes in my handicap. Linda and J.C. Know how to train older bodies I’m so happy with there training I’m going to add another session per week. Thanks Alta

ALTA fitness is a small gym but has everything you will need. The staff and equipment are all terrific, with plenty of fun group classes. Also, with the green grass carpet, even when you're doing a tough workout it's still a nice relaxed atmosphere- something you won't get in a big commercial gym.

A great team that is invested in each and every person that walks in their door. Always happy to help and progress you to your goals whatever they may be, with no shortage of smiles and laughter along the way to make it an enjoyable ride! Fantastic team, culture, studio and service!

I'm so happy to be a willing participant at this amazing boutique gym. Lindsay and JC made me feel so welcome and both are considerate and focused to help me achieve my goals. Thanks for a great start and I'm so looking forward to being a member at Alta Fitness

I have been going to Alta just over a year and a half. I have been trained by many of their fantastic trainers - all of whom have been super encouraging. They have really helped me on my fitness journey and have allowed me to become confident in exercise.

Linda and JC at ALTA have been fantastic, customising each workout for me while in group sessions. They take great interest and care with my total well-being! Totally recommended for any age and any fitness level (and mine wasn't great when I started!)

I worked with JC for many when I was competing as an elite athlete for Australia. I cannot speak highly enough of his expertise and knowledge of strength and conditioning and his ability to provide tailored programs that helped me reach my goals.

I have used Alta fitness for my fitness and more recently my rehabilitation . Under the expert training of JC and Johnny my recovery has improved greatly. My program is varied; never dull , always changing to focuse on my needs and well being.

The best small gym in Melbourne Focus is holistic and geared to your specific needs Linda and JC are vibrant, friendly professional people who make you feel you can achieve your goals in your own time Love this place ❤

I've been working out with JC and the other trainers for many months now and the focus on balance and proper form set it apart from other gyms I've trained in. Very easy vibe and very knowledgeable trainers.

Jean Claude and the team at ALTA Fitness really know their stuff. Warm, friendly, and down to earth training space. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking at getting back into exercise, or stay fit.

Experience in this industry counts for a lot and JC and Linda are some of the most experienced trainers you will find, from elite sport to older population exercise - they have you covered

Alta is an amazing gym. The owners, Linda and JC really pride themselves on taking care of each individual client and create unique programs for them to help them achieve their goals.

I have been going to ALTA for > 2 years now and could not be more pleased with the overall experience and results. I would not hesitate to recommend them warmly to anyone interested.

The care this team has shown my teenage daughter over the last 3 years has been next level. I could not recommend this business more. Their holistic approach is so professional.

A beautiful, studio sized gym space with caring, attentive trainers who really know their stuff! Highly recommend to those looking for personal PT attention and great results.

Had a great experience with Alta Fitness. I saw JC for strength training after a shoulder injury. He was personable, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend

Two of the most dedicated trainers I know. I highly recommend them if you need to stay in shape, or recover from on injury, or simply want to step-up your sport adventures.

Linda and JC are a fantastic team. With their professional advice, knowledgeable skills you will obtain the best result. Highly recommended!
