What Our Clients Are Saying
Significant lower back pain"Significant lower back pain over a period of 4-5 years, an inability to sleep through the night, and not be able to hold my 1 year old in my arms for more than 2-3 minutes, are all now a non-issue, solely due to Chas's input, advice, and exercise rehabilitation program." Damian Ferigo |
Completely innovative, highly productive and enjoyable"My experience with Chas proved to be completely innovative, highly productive and enjoyable. We managed to make more progress during our 3 months together than the combined benefits of years working with various physical therapy and other exercise methods. In addition to providing a radically different approach to therapy, Chas's high energy level and enthusiasm along with his beautiful studio made it fun to train." Kevin Doucet |
My shoulder has never been better“Before I worked with Chas, I spent 2 years and thousands of dollars seeking out the advice and assistance of numerous health practitioners only to end up frustrated, disappointed, out of pocket and still injured! You'll be glad to know my shoulder has never been better! Without your guidance and programs I wouldn't be in anywhere near the physical shape I am in today - thank you!” Daniel Wait |
The regular training sessions have been extremely beneficial“I have been a regular client of Chas Barclay’s for many months in an endeavour to delay hip surgery for as long as possible. The regular training sessions have been extremely beneficial, greatly increasing my mobility and minimising pain and loss of muscular strength; all of which allows me to maintain my participation in Tennis and Golf.” John Lockington |
Chas has continued to keep me focused in helping me achieve my goals“Chas has redeveloped my age old habits and encouraged me to believe in myself and reach my personal goals. He has shown me the way to corrective physical therapy through new techniques and understanding of human mechanics. Recently during a year-long battle with cancer, Chas was instrumental in assisting with my recovery by keeping me focused and positive. As my CHEK Practitioner, Chas has continued to keep me focused in helping me achieve my goals.” Nikki Stenhouse |
I feel I had One of the Best Personal Trainers in the Business“When I started One-on-One on the 21st August 1995, I weighed 115.84 kg and just over 6 months later, I was successfully at 88.5 kg. He made what could be a long and boring, tedious task, fun and something that I thoroughly looked forward to every week. I trained twice a week, every week with Chas. I feel I had One of the Best Personal Trainers in the Business.” Debbie Payne |
You have done wonders for me"You have done wonders for me. Thank you. I have no pain at all anymore, and now, at age 48, thanks to your training methods, I can do exercises that I haven’t done since I was a teenager. The methods that you use are designed to stabilise and strengthen my body without causing pain and this has worked very well indeed. My friends and family cannot believe the change in me. I’m fit and healthy and my body—from the toes up—is trim, well defined and muscular.” Mark Isaacs |
