I've been working with Matt for just over six months, as I needed assistance with a rehab program after shoulder surgery. Matt has been instrumental in my recovery, working directly with my physio, and surgeon's direction. The instruction he's provided has meant I haven't needed extra treatment and am well on the way to getting back to my previous level of fitness and activity. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for specific, tailored fitness programs.

After 20 years away from the gym and dealing with serious injuries and mobility issues, I was hesitant to start again. However, Matt's expertise, patience, and encouragement have been invaluable. He pushes me just the right amount, always challenging me to be my best self while being mindful of my limitations. Thanks to him, I'm not just getting back in shape, I'm surpassing my own expectations. I couldn't recommend him more highly!

Luke was fantastic in helping to correct my persistent back pain and imbalance on just a few sessions with a tailored exercise plan. Couldn't recommend more highly.

Professional, efficient and knowledgeable. No nonsense helpful care. Emma and Matt know their stuff. Matt is especially helpful with NDIS paperwork protocol and follow-up. Appreciate their overall professionalism. It is refreshing to feel supported.

We were looking for someone to help my partner gradually improve his exercise and mobility due to ongoing health issues, and Matt has been fantastic from the start. His initial assessment was incredibly thorough and really hit the nail on the head in terms of what my partner needed. My partner feels more comfortable and less anxious during sessions, and we've already seen positive changes in his confidence and mobility.

I train at Fortify to get science based exercise programs tailored to my changing and at times complex health needs. Matt Elphick and his team of trainers and exercise physiologists are great to work with, down to earth and friendly. I have sessions with Luke who is an intuitive trainer utilising his EP skills according to my varied needs and abilities on the day. I also have great physio-based exercise sessions with Emma, gaining onsite from her vast experience.
