Testimonials

‘During my first session training with ‘The Gorilla Pit’ I really wasn't sure what I had started. The High Intensity Training style left my lungs screaming and my muscles burning! I was half way through the dedicated hour and I was in pain. Allot of pain! Now it's a pain I have grown to trust. The professional personal coaching and support I received during the sessions helped me break down the mental barrier and let me push my body to its limit.

Over the short time I have been training at ‘The Gorilla Pit’ I have dramatically increased my fitness, core strength, and lean muscle mass while also stripping my body fat away. The Battle Fitness/ SAS style training really keeps things interesting, and challenging! I highly recommend ‘The Gorilla Pit’ to anyone looking to go beyond their fitness goals. It really will make a difference…it did for me.'

‘Armed with Newcastle’s best personal trainer I had 12 short weeks to transform my body and fit into my dream wedding dress. After constant guidance, support and motivation from Nathan I lost 18kg and had to get my wedding dress taken in. Nathan helped turn my fairy tale into reality and gave me the confidence to feel sexy again. I would recommend any bride to ‘Bridal Booty Camp’, you will feel amazing for it’

If you are serious about fitness and weight management you need to visit the Gorilla Pit. Nathan has lifted my fitness levels to a whole new dimension. The high intensity workouts incorporating non traditional weights is very effective in creating functional strength, whilst burning serious amounts of fat in a very friendly environment.

 

Under the professional guidance of Nathan, the sessions are punishing whilst still being very enjoyable. I feel nothing but total confidence in reaching my goals whilst training with Nathan in the Gorilla Pit, as he knows when to push you that bit harder, and when you can give no more.

 

I thoroughly recommend giving it a go, you won’t be disappointed.

"I'm 31 and have been attending the Gorilla pit for about 5 months now. Before that my training mainly consisted of weights training 3 times a week with the odd 20 minute cardio session thrown in here and there. I tried a few boxing classes and one boot camp class which I liked but didn't feel I was being pushed to a level that I wanted to reach. Also I was after something that would complement my strength training. Some boot camp classes help you lose weight and improve condition but my strength started to suffer.

Since starting the Pit my energy levels in general have increased 100%. Not only have I maintained my strength but I'm now lifting heavier than I ever have before. Great group of people to train with and Nathans enthusiasm helps you push your self to a level you could never achieve on your own, no matter how hard core you are. The Gorilla Pit is tough, and that's exactly what I was after. My theory is anything in life that's good is normally hard to get. If you want good results you need to train hard. The Gorilla Pit was the key for my goals. I recommend it to anyone who is serious about fitness."

‘If your looking at changing your life, I recommend you seriously consider being apart of an NMPT program. In Dec 2010, I was suffering from an inflamed sciatic nerve caused by excess weight around my waist. I’m 30 years old and it was stopping me from playing the sport I love, soccer. I thought to myself I need to change my life, otherwise I will never make it back onto the park again and that’s when I decided to seek some professional help.

In mid Jan 2011 I sought advice on how increase my fitness and change my life, since that day, I have been following the expert training and advice of Personal Trainer, Nathan Martin. After ten weeks I have lost 16kg, dropped 15cm off my waist, decreased my resting heart rate from 89bpm to 65bpm and gone from a beep test result of 8.5.

This is through following a multi discipline fitness program and a changing my eating habits, from eating foods high in saturated fats and sugars to a more natural and nutritional diet (No dieting involved, it's changing your lifestyle for good).

During your own journey with a personalised NMPT program you too will receive the same professional training and lifestyle advice from Nathan Martin and the NMPT team, who will motivate you become the new you.’

“When I set out to change my life earlier this year I weighed 118kg, was aged 30 and was exceptionally unfit. This was the result of losing my father to heart disease in May 2010 and I was headed down the same path. I made the decision to invest in a membership at my local gym but found I still wasn't seeing the results I’d hoped for, even after a month of constant exercise and diet. That’s when I got in touch with Nathan Martin Personal Training for some personal training sessions.

Nathan has worked twice a week with me for 10 weeks and I’m extremely happy with the results I’m getting now. So far, I have lost 12 kilos and can see tone and shape when I look in the mirror. Nathan is always creative in his training and keeps every session interesting with a combination of cardio, circuits and boxing.

Over the past 10 weeks Nathan has been my motivation, inspiration and a fantastic friend who not only helped me reach physical change but emotional change too.”

I've been training with Nathan for 6 weeks now and some of my tight shirts can be put on but can’t be taken off! His approach is completely different to other trainers and he takes your success seriously. He doesn’t stand around with his arms crossed counting out the number of reps your up to. He’s in your face yelling at you “C’mon. Get Some!” and forces you to do extra when you think you’ve got nothing left. The nutrition plan he's customised for me ’s well rounded, never boring. His own brand of supplements he designed himself taste great and help me lift monster weight! This combination of the right exercise routine and nutrition is the reason I've put on 3.75kg in only 6 weeks. Sign up now or stay small (or fat) FOREVER!

"When I first decided to go to a personal trainer, I was slightly hesitant and nervous. However after one session I was hooked and determined to reach my newly formed goals. Nathan is really positive and motivating. I also appreciated how flexible he is, which suits my busy work and study schedule.

My initial goal was to fit back into a dress I used to be able to wear with confidence, and despite many twists and turns along the way, the dress is now too big for me. A happy success, which without the coaching and guidance NMPT provided, I wouldn’t have achieved."
