References for Gavin King

I have known Gavin King for 4 years in his capacity as Gym Manager for the Sydney Cricket Ground Trust, and more recently, as Corporate Trainer for the St Hilliers Management Team. I have found Gavin to be professional and thorough in all dealings at both a private and business level. Gavin and I have worked together in various situations, from 'one on one' personal training to multi-trainer group sessions for the St Hilliers corporate management team. His personal demeanor is positive, encouraging and caring. His professional approach is a combination of intense focus, balanced with a friendly and humorous attitude.

Working with Gavin on my fitness has been awesome. I have really enjoyed the variety & challenge he puts into our sessions. His vast repertoire of drills is so vast which means I never, ever get bored. Just when you think you’ve seen and done them all, another one pops up – love it! He has also helped me understand the importance of correct form – once you’ve got this right, it never leaves you. Prior to working with Gavin I was very injury prone, but Gavin gradually strengthened my core muscles and my weak spots such as my glutes and calves, to the point where I achieved my lifelong dream of running a marathon. I’m in my early 50’s, feeling strong and running like a teenager!

I have been training with Gav for several years now as a NSW Rugby Union Referee, making massive improvements in both my game fitness and general health during that time. 18 months ago I approached Gav about constructing a tailor-made strength and conditioning program to compliment the twice weekly cardio sessions conducted under his guidance. The time Gav takes to get to know his clients and understand their individual strengths and weaknesses has meant that I’ve been able to make significant progress without risking injury. His regular check-in’s have helped me stay focused and on track to achieving my goals.

I was tested physically in the beginning as it had been some time since I had trained seriously. However, I was encouraged and persevered. The results were tangible. A noticeable increase in cardiovascular health and strength. The following season rolled around and I started at square one again. After a while, I wanted to increase the amount of training I was undertaking because I could see major benefits to my sporting aspirations and energy levels day to day. So Gavin stepped in as a personal trainer in addition to the organisational training role he holds. As a result physical health has improved immensely. I'm now 54 years of age and in better shape than most 40-year-olds.
