I’d never been to a gym before but thought as l was getting older starting some strength training would help me as l age. Although l was reluctant at first to join a gym I found the instructors at MV Health and Fitness to be extremely welcoming and work with all types of fitness levels. I attend classes and the instructors are happy to alter exercises to accommodate everyone’s fitness levels. Now I’ve been going to the gym over 3 years and my fitness and strength levels have increased hugely. Also during this time l had suffered with tennis elbow and the instructors altered my exercises to help my elbow heal and allow me to continue with the classes. Definitely recommend MV Health and Fitness.

The trainers here are incredible. Hamish, Matt, and the rest of the team are so supportive and knowledgeable. I’m rebuilding my strength and fitness after major surgery and also navigating postpartum recovery, and I feel stronger and more confident every week. The environment is welcoming, uplifting, and family-friendly. The trainers are always so kind with my baby when I bring him along. I honestly love being part of this community.

Moonee Valley Health and Fitness is a fantastic place for anyone serious about getting results. The team is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your progress. The gym itself is well-equipped and fit for purpose, whether you're just starting out or looking to push your limits. The clinical Pilates program is outstanding—Hoda, in particular, is an exceptional instructor. She consistently goes above and beyond to support each person in the class. The group sessions are thoughtfully planned, and even though you're in a group setting, you still receive individual attention and clear guidance throughout. Russell is also a great studio director who genuinely cares about the members and their overall wellbeing.

Russ, Amy and the team at MV Health & Fitness have created an inclusive and welcoming gym and pilates studio that is a pleasure to attend. All the instructors and staff are friendly and helpful and they genuinely care about you and your wellbeing. I have been going here for 4 years and across 2 pregnancies and the team have been incredible at tailoring the programs to my needs. Would recommend for a friendly and welcoming place to move your body, especially for mums and parents!

I have loved being a part of MV fitness. Their classes are both challenging, varied and fun and my fitness level dramatically improved with attendance. However in my opinion what has made my experience great is Russell the owner who has been very flexible with my membership during a time of transition, he’s a reflection of the whole team! I’d highly recommend this gym, don’t hesitate 😊

Russell and his staff at MV Fitness are fantastic. I went there to get ready for an application to join the police and with their guidance and assistance I was easily able to meet the requirements. Trainer Matt was exceptionally helpful and provided great coaching to help me not only pass but exceed the standards required. Even after passing the standard required, Russell, Matt and all the staff at MV Fitness were incredibly helpful and genuinely interested in continuing my fitness improvement. I can't recommend MV Fitness highly enough. The staff are incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and most importantly supportive. They will help you achieve whatever fitness goals you are striving for!

I've been seeing Hamish weekly for the past four months, and the lasting effects of our work together have been remarkable. His attentiveness and deep knowledge make every session productive and insightful. Beyond just treating symptoms, Hamish takes a holistic approach to injury rehabilitation, addressing the underlying contributors to ensure long-term recovery and performance improvement. What truly sets him apart is his ability to make the process enjoyable—our sessions are not only effective but also engaging and motivating. His guidance has had a significant impact on my recovery, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for expert in the field.

I am not a paid actor. Before joining Moonee Valley Health and Fitness I had little interest in joining a gym for a long period of time, but now after 11 months, I feel like I’m part of a community and not just a gym. Highly recommend here for anyone looking to start, resume or take the next step in their exercise journey.

Absolutely love this place! Can’t recommend enough. A lifesaver for me when I was pregnant and helping me to regain my core strength after two kids. All the instructors are amazing, especially Hoda! Best value for reformer pilates in the west.

I have had the pleasure of being a client at MVFit and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Russell and Alex are very nice guys to deal with on a personal level, and on top of that they are also very knowledgeable when it comes to PT training and individual training programs. They truly helped me with my individual fitness goals and progression, and I would highly recommend MVFit to anyone who is looking for a great exercise physiology clinic or personal training gym!

Highly recommend the lovely team at moonee valley health and fitness with all your exercise needs. I especially loved the mum and bub classes where I could bring my toddler along to. And the clinical pilates were amazing too 🙏😊 it was my favourite thing to do while pregnant and has helped me with better post partum strength this time around! I must say now that I've moved away I do really miss my classes with Matt very much so 😓

This gym was my happy place when I lived in Melbourne. The trainers are very professional and knowledgeable, and will help you achieve your goals. Or in my case – help find good goals and my way towards that goal. I trust the trainers completely, and would sincerely recommend MV Health and Fitness for anyone, regardless of their goals.

Michelle - North Melbourne

This has been one of the best years of my life where I have learnt so much about myself, being more confident and I thought I was happy before but I am definitely happier now.

Thank you Russell for everything.

You are not only my Personal Trainer, you are many things to me. You are a life coach, you have mentored me through good and especially the bad times this last year and I have learnt to control and adjust to life challengers so it doesn’t effect my eating habits.

You have educated me to understand a lot of things. This has been hard changing a lifetime of habits. This is not just a diet for me but a lifestyle change for the rest of my life!*

I would recommend Moonee Valley Health and Fitness to anyone that is looking to change their life. I have been working out with Russ for a couple of years now and recommend them to anyone that will listen. Russell knows how to get the balance perfect between getting fit and having fun. I’m now 35kg lighter thanks to his guidance and expertise.*

Lottie - Strathmore

I’ve lost over 19kg now and am so close to cracking 20kg!!! 😀 I am so happy to go out shopping now and have loved buying a whole new wardrobe.


Russ is such a great personal trainer, who knows how to get the best out of me. I honestly couldn’t be happier with my achievements so far.*

Nicole - Moonee Ponds

When I first started with Dave I was still carrying all my baby weight even though my twins were 18 months old. I was unhappy and needed change.

We started off doing fortnightly sessions (with my sister as my workout buddy) and gradually worked up to our current two sessions a week. Dave was seriously my savior!

The results I have seen from training with him are phenomenal. I have a confidence that I never thought I would.
We are now strongly focused on weight training. Lifting heavy and gaining muscle is what drives me.
Dave truly is a fantastic trainer. He puts up with whinging and complaining but never stops pushing us to our limits!
Thanks a million for all the hard work Dave! Can’t wait to see what I can do in the future with your guidance!*

Hayley

Ever since I started coaching with Trainer Dave, I’ve learned to love going to gym instead of dread it. Having a personal trainer without signing up for one at a gym and paying for all those extra gym membership costs makes it that much better as it is so convenient. The Dave is so friendly and motivational and I always have a good time working out!*

Hannah

Alan Testimonial

Simply, with their help I achieved my goal weight, one which I have struggled with for years.


I have lost over 30kg and I am now on my next goal of putting on more muscle while staying lean.


They really helped me by giving me the tools that work, such as diet and training regimes*

Alan - Essendon

We have been working out with Russell for a couple of years now and recommend him and his team to anyone that will listen.


Russell knows how to get the balance perfect between getting fit and having fun. Between the two of us we are now over 60kg lighter thanks to his guidance and expertise.*
