Ben Craughwell, Physique Specialist - Sandyford

Fantastic experience: great gym and great personal training also at a really affordable price.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to OP for about 6 weeks or so, and absolutely love it! Adam, Bonnie, and Ben are enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and friendly, and are an incredible help with setting and achieving training goals. As someone who has always been underweight, they have been really awesome with helping me sort out my diet and training schedule to get maximum results - would wholeheartedly recommend to any and everyone!

Fantastic experience: I started with the Optimum Performance Team a month ago, as I wanted to shed a few kgs and tone up my upper body and increase my core strength. Initially I was a bit apprehensive as I'd been on a number of these 28 day transformations in other gyms before and my experience and opinion with them was, it was more a money spinning exercise rather than having a genuine interest in my personal goals. It was evident from the first session that this place was different. By the time I got home following my first session I had a personalised eating plan for the 28 days which was a big thing for me. Thats only one part of it though. The supervision that Adam, Ben and Bonnie give is second to none. The team are already enthusiastic and always on hand to provide guidance, direction, advise and motivation. Over the 28 days I lose 3kg and 3% body fat. Delight with the results, and will definitely be keeping it going with the team.

Fantastic experience: Started here just over a month ago, and loving the experience. Trainers are friendly, professional and 100% know how to get the best out of you. Lots of great tips, and constant follow up via private facebook group with tips on training, and nutrition. I actually look forward to the sessions! That says it all really...

Fantastic experience: Great staff really helped, found them a great team who get you in great shape. Would strongly recommend anyone at any stage of their fitness to join up.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic environment of support and encouragement from Adam, Bonnie & Ben - a brilliant crew. Provide massive amount of content for members, and a non judgmental space that is challenging, yet understanding and recognises progress. Having tried similar offerings nearby which were disappointing - The Optimum Performance gang are a total breath of fresh air, and always working to help wherever they can!

Fantastic experience: If your looking to loose weight or even build muscle and you keep saying to yourself your not sure what food, nutrients you need to be taken or even your not to sure what to do when your in the gym. Then Ben and Bonnie at Optimum Performance are the people to go to, the motivation from these guys is unreal and they treat you like a friend too witch is always a good thing. But I must say Ben's way to motivate you while your about to give in is grate and it's needed to because your mind will tell you to give in if you were working out on your own, I always said it was his husky voice and the positivity that made me push true a session with him :) They also teach you and explain the best ways to workout while your with them and how to get the best from a workout. you learn the better food to eat and what nutrients you will need and what is suited for you and what you want to achieve from your body. I highly recommend these guys, while I was with them I lost over 10kg in a fairly sort amount of time and it was really shocking, I am happy with my body and it really was a good experience and I learned a lot. Thanks again Optimum Performance..

Fantastic experience: Excellent location

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Fantastic experience: Couldn't believe how good the results were that I got. By far the best training company I've used. Adam is an absolute legend, you've changed my life man thanks!!

Fantastic experience: Started training with Ben roughly 3 months ago. Came in to the place a real skinny dude, always struggled to put on weight even though I ate like a horse Had a mid life crisis and needed help haha. The main thing I wanted help with was building muscle. So after a few email exchanges between myself and Bonnie she convinced me to sign up. She paired me up with Ben whos a strength training specialist. ( If I remember the email correctly haha) Ben's an excellent PT, I've put on over 7kg since starting up, I'm eating healthy, feel like I have alot more energy to spend through out the day. Sleeping like a log (which is a good thing so I've learned). Definitely feel so much better about myself, I can see the difference on my body already and its only been 3 months. Plus I'm learning so much I'm actually showing my gf some of the lifting techniques. Any weaknesses are ironed out over time. I had a hugh problem with my shoulders most of my life from injuries in football. That was 3 months ago, now I can feel my shoulders are abit broader and I have no problem lifting weights that focus on that area, I don't feel the sharpe pain anymore. They do everything for you in their, with helping you plan your nutrition, exercising using the proper techniques. Showing exactly how each movement works what part of the body. To making sure your getting enough rest and sleeping. Long story short, Everyone at Optimum Performance is sound, their Brilliant Personal Trainers ,they make you feel very welcome coming in and give you a confidence boost (swift kick up the hole) when you think you can't do any more but you can. They make you work your arse off , you go home feeling so much better about yourself. As Ben says to me, he lays out the foundation for the pathway, I just have to walk it. Cheers Ben! Looking forward to our next session!

Fantastic experience: I've been training with the guys at Optimum performance now for just over 3 months and the results I have achieved are incredible. In my first four weeks I lost just over 10lbs and since then it's just been onwards and upwards . The attitude and dedication that Adam, Ben and Bonnie have at optimum performance is inspirational and they make sure that each session really pushes you and helps you take one more step to that body and healthy lifestyle you wish to achieve. Haven't met a a group more dedicated to its clientele than these guys.

Fantastic experience: Since starting with Optimun Performance I can only say good things. Ben, Bonnie and Adam are amazing people and very active in getting the best results for there clients. I have to say its the best male fat loss gym I've ever come across. The level of expertise and friendliness are just two of Optimun Performance qualities. I was a lazy so and so before I joined and the results have been quite something. I started 12 weeks ago and my starting weight was a huge 114kg but with great sessions from the trainers and hard work from myself I am now down to 102.3kg I would highly recommend joining this fantastic gym. As much as I've dropped weight, mentally it's changed the way I am as a person. If you want to change your life then pick up your phone and call Optimun Performance Gerry

Fantastic experience: Unbelievable experience with these guys. Four months into training with them now and have never seen so much change in my body. Up until four months ago, I spent thousands on different gyms over the years without really making any massive change, however, since joining Optimum, my body has transformed. Tom

Fantastic experience: The optimum performance team really go above and beyond for their clients. They really help me change my lifestyle and bad habbits. They clear up all the common misconceptions and myths that come with health and fitness. But its not just about health and fitness for this team, its your whole being and outlook on life. Not only do they teach you how to look after your body, but to love it and feel comfortable and confident in your own skin. They also help with your mental health and want you to feel like you can accomplish anything. The optimum performance team are not just personal trainers, but friends and people you can really rely on when you slip up! I'm so glad I went to optimum performance to kick start my new journey to being a better version of myself.
