WOW - Where do I start. Started 6 weeks ago with my first PT session at the age of 51. Sam made me feel so comfortable and safe. I started doing 3 classes a week pretty quickly. Sam and Courtney are so kind, non-judgmental, and uplifting. The classes are small, fun and like a wee group of girls having fun. I feel stronger and more confident every time I enter and leave the gym. I have found my space to become stronger. I have found my tribe to have fun with. I thank Sam and Courtney for everything you do to support me individually every session.

Ignition Health changed the way I feel about fitness.
The coaches meet me where I’m at, cheer me on, and create a space that feels safe, energizing, and real. It’s not just about workouts for them, it’s about personal progress, building community, and showing up with heart. They're welcoming, supportive and an absolutely amazing crew.

I feel super lucky to have Sam set up this gym in my neighbourhood. Super efficient and effective workout every time, boosts health and confidence - would suit anyone, even if no prior positive gym experiences, this will change you for the better.

Fantastic! If I could give more than 5 stars then I would. Such a unique environment that can't be provided by a gym. It's about the mind, body and soul and alignment of all those factors to get the best version of yourself.

Ignition Health has made a huge difference in my life. when I started I was 114kg. Struggling to catch my breath. Found climbing stairs difficult and getting down onto and up off my knees near impossible. I have now lost weight in double digits, have energy to burn and a whole lot of new friends/supporters. Sam is an absolute expert at helping you achieve more than you think is possible. The support you get from the other members makes keeping it up easy. Work outs have become enjoyable "social" events. Highly recommend Ignition Health over any other gym, diet or health & fitness program.

I highly recommend Sam from Ignition Health. I was not a gym bunny ever but every week I turn up to his classes because I get so much out of them , I feel comfortable with what I’m doing and you meet so many awesome people on the way . Definitely worth your time to check out his classes

I have been attending the last few years and I am happy to say that I have never felt so supported in a gym before. I completed the 30 Day Fat Blaster Challenge, and now I attend the BurnZone Classes and One on One workouts. I am starting to see results I honestly never thought would happen. Those bits I always thought would be wobbly due to body type etc. are changing. Can't wait to keep seeing my body and health changes on my fitness journey with Ignition Health.
