Real reviews from adults, parents and over‑60s training at D8 in Clarence Gardens.
Adult Success Stories (30–60)
These are everyday adults who used 21‑Day Strong Start, 8‑Week Strong & Lean and our Adult Group Strength memberships to get stronger, leaner and back in control of their training.
“I came to D8 feeling tired, soft and frustrated that I was ‘doing stuff’ at the gym without seeing it. In 8 weeks of Strong & Lean my main lifts went up, my clothes fit better and I feel way more confident in the weight room.”
Ryan G - Strong & Lean client
“I hadn’t trained properly in years and was nervous about starting again. The 21‑Day Strong Start got me back into a routine without feeling smashed, and I actually looked forward to sessions. I’ve now rolled into a Silver membership and it just feels like part of my week.”
Ben F - Strong Start & Adult member
JuniorGym Success Stories (10–15)
Parents bring their kids to JuniorGym to build confidence, coordination and strength – not just for sport, but for life.
“Our son used to dread PE and team trials. After a term of JuniorGym he’s more coordinated, stronger and actually enjoys being active. The biggest change has been his confidence.”
Sarah K - JuniorGym parent
“The coaches explain everything in a way the kids understand. My daughter went from ‘I’m not sporty’ to asking when her next session is.”
Josephine L - JuniorGym parent
Athlete Accelerator Success Stories (15–20)
These athletes used 10‑Week Athlete Accelerator and Starter 10‑Packs to get stronger, faster and more robust for their sport.
“Before D8 our son kept getting little soft‑tissue injuries and fading late in games. After one Accelerator block he was stronger in contact, recovered faster and played a full season without breaking down.”
Carla B - Athlete parent
“The testing and retesting made it easy to see progress – my jump height, strength and speed all improved. I felt more powerful on the field and more confident at trials.”
Tom K, 10‑Week Athlete Accelerator
ForeverStrength Success Stories (60+)
Over‑60s who wanted to stay strong, steady and independent – without bootcamps or being lost in a big gym.
“Stairs and hills used to leave me puffed. After 8 weeks of ForeverStrength I can get up and down more comfortably, and I feel much steadier walking around the shops.”
Margaret L - ForeverStrength member
“I was worried I was ‘too old’ to start. The over‑60s‑only sessions, slower pace and coaching made me feel safe. I’m stronger, more confident and less afraid of falling.”
Greg C - ForeverStrength member
