I first went to Coach Mike at Marmina four weeks before major abdominal surgery. I had been advised that I would have better recovery outcomes if I did some pre-surgery PT to build core. Post-surgery I have now been given the green light to gradually rebuild strength. The whole way through the process Mike has worked in communication with my physio and surgeon, and I have been incredibly impressed with his knowledge. He's not just another backyard PT who did a Cert IV (no offence) ...he has a degree in exercise and nutrition and it SHOWS! Mike is incredibly encouraging and gracious and at no point have I felt awkward or like I didn't belong (because I'm a middle-aged plus-sized lady). I was that person who thought PT was for rich people and couldn't imagine having it myself, but it's been worth every dollar and I couldn't recommend Mike enough!!! If you've been looking for a highly educated and skilled PT, have surgery coming up that you want to prepare for or, like me, desperately want to lose weight and get your life back, I have one word for you: Nike! (Just do it!) You will not regret checking Marmina and Coach Mike out!Posted on Google![]()

It has taken me awhile to sign up to a gym or exercise program because I had a certain impression about how it would be, but that all went out the window the moment I entered Marmina Exercise & Nutrition gym. It is completely different to gym experiences I've had in the past. This gym is very inclusive and makes you feel like you are really valued and prioritised. It's great how knowledgeable Michael Marmina is and how he put me on the right track straight away after assessing my fitness level. He was encouraging and helped me to feel really good about my workout. I am so glad that I decided to sign up and I'm already noticing the difference.Posted on Google![]()

I've known trainers over the years but Michael stands out for his professionalism, genuine care, and the way he tailors every session to your goals and ability. He strikes the perfect balance between pushing you hard and keeping things enjoyable — you walk out feeling accomplished, not overwhelmed. His knowledge of strength training, mobility, and injury prevention is top-tier, and he takes the time to explain the why behind everything. The environment at Marnina Exercise & Fitness is welcoming, clean, and judgement-free, which makes every session something to look forward to. If you want real results, proper technique, and a trainer who actually listens and cares, Michael is your guy. Couldn’t recommend him more highly. Absolute Legend!Posted on Google![]()

I've done PT sessions in the past numerous times. I achieved in 30 minutes more than I though possible with Michael. I learned how to properly feel a good squat, I learned that my self diagnosed 'problems' we're just symtoms of inactivity and Michael showed me with proof in how my body could move once warmed up. In general it was such a positive experience. I am now booked in for 2x sessions a week and can't wait to keep coming back.Posted on Google![]()

I joined about 2 weeks ago and I am really loving the sessions! I was a bit nervous, didn’t want to look silly having not done strength training before but Michael is really supportive and non judgemental and everyone is friendly and the vibe is relaxed yet everyone is still getting it done! I really like it and my mood feels so boosted after each sesh :)Posted on Google![]()

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t recommend this gym enough! The personal training here is next level – they take the time to really understand your goals and create a personalised training plan that actually works. The trainers are knowledgeable, supportive, and push you to do your best without ever feeling overwhelming. On top of that, the diet guidance has been a game-changer – realistic, easy to follow, and tailored to my lifestyle. I’ve already noticed huge improvements in my strength, energy, and overall health. If you’re looking for a gym that genuinely cares about your progress and creates a plan just for you, this is the place to be!Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 78 reviews
