Jan Nelson has been my PT for 10 years and she has consistently demonstrated utmost professionalism and a strong commitment to health, well being and fitness. She has taught exercise with flexibility and fun in a safe and welcoming environment.
I highly recommend Jan as a trainer for any age group and gender.

I have been training with Jan for at least 8 years which in itself is testament to what an excellent personal trainer she is. Her knowledge of health and fitness is extensive and she uses this to tailor each training session to whatever my needs are on the day- my body can be unpredictable! Her sessions are varied which means I never get bored. Jan has taught me so much about how to look after my body and is incredibly generous of her time. She genuinely cares about the needs of her clients and delivers individualised training programs to all fitness levels. I have no hesitation in recommending Jan to anybody wanting to improve their health, fitness and wellbeing.

Jan defines "Personal Training". she takes an holistic approach to figure out what you need and researches the most effective methods to create the right combination of exercises for maximum results. I highly recommend Jan to anyone, who like me is not a fitness fanatic but wants to invest in maintaining good posture and movement as my body changes and the decades roll. I know I'm in safe hands with Jan.

Jan is a thorough and conscientious trainer. Very sensitive and attuned to any issues / requirements of her clients ; easily designs programs and constant variety within their limits and objectives. Has an easy going and natural rapport with people and engagement style that puts you at ease whilst providing the encouragement and support for you to go further without " a bootcamp mentality" ! I highly recommend her to people of all ages and abilities and spectrum of fitness objectives.

I have been training with Jan for the past 10 years. During this time I have found her to be extremely knowledgeable in relation to physical abilities and the human body. She is able to plan sessions that suit the individual in terms of physical needs, taking into account any injuries you may have and any personal goals you are wishing to achieve. Jan is efficient, friendly, motivating and flexible in her approach to personal training. She always has the clients best interests at heart, and is able to make each and every session enjoyable and physically worthwhile. She is also able to challenge your own abilities when it is suitable.

Despite my age of 76 years, I have been rewarded with and improvement in my strength, balance and flexibility. Jan, responds to my personal requirements with grace and encouragement.
Jan, operates an excellent home facility. It is hygienic , well maintained, with continuous improvement in terms of equipment and presentation.
Continuous professional development is very important and Jan engages in many and varied opportunities of further professional development.

Jan is an amazing and very competent personal trainer who I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
I have been having sessions with her for approx 18 months now. Jan is always professional and tailors my sessions as required achieve improved fitness and wellbeing.
I needed a knowledgeable trainer who could support me with a return to running and rebuild my general fitness, while avoiding injuries after a significant break post pregnancy.
The thorough approach Jan has taken has both reassured and inspired me, and allowed me to improve my fitness, and achieve my running goals.
Thank you Jan, as I’m sure I could not have done this without your training and support!

I have been a client of Jan Nelson for more than 12 years. In that time I have participated in one hourly sessions of a mix of Pilates and Cardio. Jan is completely focused on tailoring exercises to benefit the ‘whole’ body. If I have sustained an injury then Jan ensures that the specific area is targeted for repair. I enjoy the treadmill, weights equipment, Pilates reformer machine, rowing machine and various band exercises. Jan ensures a broad variety of exercises, therefore my programs are enjoyable. Jan recently helped train me for a couple of long walks 90 km/ 75 km. I completed both without injury. Jan is an excellent instructor and completely devoted to her clients. Jenny S

I’ve been training with Jan Nelson since 2011. It was at this time at the age of 61 years, that JAN helped me to improve my fitness level so that I could pass the Victoria Police fitness test.
I’m pleased to say in 2012 I achieved & passed the fitness level as required.
I have continued my training with Jan through this journey.
I find Jan very passionate & committed to helping me at my age with encouragement, always ensuring the use of correct technique with exercises even with my age related injuries that I have incurred.
Thank You Jan..

Our sessions are fun, inspiring and really feel like we're achieving something! Jan is a true professional in her field - I feel so grateful that I've finally got onto her books!
