We as a family have been visiting for about 18 months now. Always have a great time. Always look forward to going. As a fifty something-year-old, I enjoy great strength, knowledge, & confidence that I'm now on a path that is sustainable, consistent & never boring. Claude has given us the confidence to train alone & my history of injuries is now in check & prevented. He has been a much-appreciated addition to my teen son's strength & stability, coaching him in boxing & lifting & giving him greater confidence in his sports endeavours & the tools to train well & wise moving forward. With the knowledge we have acquired we are able to ride the pandemic wave & can't wait to get back on board.

I have been training with Claude for 18 months now and couldn't be happier.
Claude listens to exactly what your goals are and is happy to change with my training needs. My sporting performance has definitely improved as has my knowledge of training techniques and equipment. Claude is not only a great trainer but also a fantastic teacher. Highly Recommend.

Claude, you are a true inspiration, your knowledge, attitude, awareness, flexibility and humor makes training with you enjoyable. Let me say this, When your in there with Claude, it’s truly a one on one situation. No loud music, no fancy ab rollers, no wall to wall mirrors, no yellin at you to give you one more coz he wants to see you in pain, nope....just good solid knowledge and understanding on fitness, nutrition and life in general. He respects my knowledge, my goals and where I’m at physically and knows when to push and when not to and he allows my training to fit in with his workouts I can’t say enough great things about him and the way he conducts himself and his business.

2 years ago I was overweight, tired of the same old getting up not liking what i saw in the mirror, lack of energy, motivation and just all around unhappy. Enter Claude Castro from Claudefit, met at one such session at the local gym. I found out that Claude, a local personal trainer ran his own operation from his professionally set up home studio locally in Mill Park. I decided to give it a go. What i found was something unexpected, someone who actually cared about you and your goals and at your own pace. For the first time in my weight loss journey i was able to go at my own pace in a friendly secure and private environment, get the full attention and knowledge of working out "the right way

Claude’s experience and knowledge allows him to tailor an effective workout to any level of fitness. He breaks down each exercise so that you aren’t only physically working out but also learning (and sometimes relearning) how to perform said exercise correctly. He has a great space to train and his personality makes him approachable and puts you at ease to ask any fitness question or work towards your goal. 1 hr sessions fly by and you can definitely feel the “good” pain the next day. Every session was different and my favorite part of training was learning how to box! I can’t recommend Claude enough!

I have been training with Claude for almost two years now and I can't recommend his services enough. I am stronger and fitter than I ever have been and always look forward to our weekly sessions. Claude's always positive and fun attitude is infectious, thank you Claude!

Claude is amazing! Came to him trying to improve my strength for jiu jitsu and he has helped me with so much, not only with strength but with applying techniques to match situation in jiu jitsu and also with my mobility.
His knowledge is endless and his passion for helping and personal training really comes through in every session.
Highly recommend!

I've never felt particularly motivated or comfortable going to the gym, but working in healthcare, I knew I needed to stay active somehow. Got in touch with Claude almost 2 years ago and haven't looked back since! He has a remarkably sensible, effective and tailored approach to fitness that only comes with experience. His friendly demeanour puts you at ease regardless of your previous level of training.
Daniel Wells
Workouts are a joy with Claude. His experience shows with his level of knowledge and being able to tailor a workout to your needs.
I’ve been extremely happy with my workouts with Claude, plus he’s friendly and very easy to get along with. 10/10
