I've been attending training at Studio 46 for several years with my partner. Our trainer Deanne understands our limitations as we are in our mid- 60s with arthritis in various joints. She designs great exercises for our particular needs and challenges us to develop strength and stamina. I usually hate exercise of any kind, but Dee makes it fun and immensely worthwhile. We have lost weight, developed great muscle tone, improved balance and are now ready to proceed with knee replacements. Dee has the right background for us as a physiotherapist in a previous lifetime overseas. Though Studio 46 is pricey, the training is great, the equipment very useful, especially the gravity beds for people with mobility issues, and the staff are always professional and friendly.

I have been going to StudioForty6 now for around 5 years.
During this time I have found all the staff to be very professional and skilled trainers.
One of the things I have appreciated about the studio is that they have been very accommodating and able to adapt to any stage you are at. Currently I train with Aiden Clarke who has adapted each session to my requirements at the time, from returning to the gym post baby through to pre and post knee surgery whilst still focusing on the areas I wanted to target.
Another great thing about Studiofourty6 is the friendly, positive and encouraging environment. All the staff genuinely like to be there and all get along which makes a very happy and inspiring environment to train in.

I have been coming to Studio for 4 years now.
What do I love about Studio is that every trainer who is employed their genuinely loves their jobs and that reflects the way they train.
I used to be apprehensive in having a different trainer but now I take the attitude they are all as good as each other they all share the common goal.
Kirsty and Dean had a dream and had have had the courage in achieving a successful business.

I thought I was fit...and then there is Triathlon fit.

I had done triathlons in the past but I really wanted to commit and compete.

Studio Forty6's Aiden Clark took me to the next level and in 10 weeks I had completed the final of the Gatoraide Tri series with a sprint to the finish.

There were a mix in the group of first timers and more seasoned competitors but all had a demon or two to conquer. Mine was the swim!

Done & Dusted!

Now all I need to do is set a new goal...

Studio46 has been my exercise home for the past three and a half years. It has been an interesting journey over that time, and I have been challenged to achieve things I'd never have thought possible, like going from zero running to completing a half-marathon.

Throughout the entire period, however, I have never been alone. Aiden Clarke, my primary trainer, has been there patiently encouraging me the entire way and, when I completed my first ever 5km run as a part of the Run Group, Tony was there on his bike, riding alongside me until I finished the track. Never shall I forget that. These experiences are inherent to why I continually return to the studio. I am never made to feel inept, irrespective of which level I might find myself at during any session. Sure, some days are better training days than others, but whatever I achieve is celebrated and reinforced by the team.

All of the trainers at the studio are leaders in their field, always garnering new and differentiated techniques and exercises to support their clients in getting the best out of themselves. This is also fundamental to why I love training here; I have watched other trainers at bigger gyms with their clients, and know that the quality of both professionalism and expertise at S46 is absolutely superior.

The studio also takes more of a holistic perspective in its training approach. Through working with Aiden and Andy for 1:1 PT, and Lexi in her fantastic GTS sessions, I have learned much more about the way my body functions. I now have a much clearer, intuitive idea what it can do, including when I need to pull back and when it is appropriate to push further and harder.

I am moving abroad in a few months. Will I find another studio and such stellar trainers as the team at Studio46? I am very doubtful.

I would challenge anyone to find a place that has more knowledge and understanding of the fitness industry as well the capability to actually transform people's ability, motivation and confidence - and all of this is done with a personal and friendly touch. I am now fitter and stronger than ever and motivated to keep it that way - this is all thanks to the team at Studioforty6, and in particular my trainer Aiden!

I have been a regular StudioForty6 member for a few years now and recently completed the triathlon training program for the second year in a row. Led by Aiden, we had three coaches, each focusing on an individual leg of the triathlon. The studio were open to feedback and keen to build a program suitable for all abilities yet custom to each individual. Aiden's constant encouragement and support kept us motivated and inspired throughout the program. Can't wait for next year :))

I cannot believe I actually completed my first mini triathlon! This is something I would never imagined doing ever! I started training with Studioforty6 6 months ago and had gained strength, fitness and all round better health thanks to Deanne, a fabulous trainer. I then began (after some convincing) the last 6 weeks of the tri training group with Aiden, Tony and Fiona. These guys gave me the support, individual attention and above all confidence to achieve. What a fabulous feeling!! I met some great fellow tri groupers who were equally as encouraging! This studio has unique culture, I cannot wait till the next season... I am motivated to keep training and maintain my fitness and good health ready for Summer 2015. Highly recommend.

The trainers at Studio 46 have transformed my interest in making exercise an integral part of my life. Over the past few years Aiden and Lexi have encouraged me to take exercise to new levels and set goals so I am continually striving to achieve new life goals as well as specific fitness goals. Most recently, Aiden and his tri team trained me for two events that without their encouragement, commitment and general bossiness, I would not have competed. It resulted in meeting great new people and finishing two races I thought unimaginable.

Having just completed the 10 week triathlon program at Studio Forty6, I can honestly say that I have loved being part of this group. Aiden's passion, knowledge and skills continue to impress. He is an incredibly supportive, approachable and fun trainer, who always finds the time for his clients. The Studio is full of wonderful trainers and there are plenty of opportunities for all.
