Kate Fitzpatrick with Nick

Kate Fitzpatrick: stronger after an accident

“Before I was referred to Ultimate Conditioning, I'd never heard of an exercise physiologist. After an accident, my leg and knee had been medically fixed, but they still needed to get much stronger. Nick got me there with a specialised exercise program. It was comparatively painless, it was fun, and the result was great.”

Kate Fitzpatrick
Les Leo with Nick at the studio

Les Leo: 15 years strong after a hip replacement

“I've been training with Nick and Ultimate Conditioning for over 15 years. Nick first approached me in 2011, when he saw me limping after my hip replacement. He trained me twice a week for many months and got my legs extremely strong, and I've seen him or one of his team once a week ever since.

At the time I was told I'd definitely need my other hip replaced at some stage. Fifteen years later, that still hasn't happened, and I credit Nick with that. He's also helped me lose weight over the years whenever I've needed to.

These days I train with Curtis once a week, and I absolutely love the environment at Ultimate Conditioning.”

Les Leo
Andi Yanto with Nick

Andi Yanto lost 7.3 kg in 6 weeks

“I started Personal Training with Nick on 24th Aug 2010. Exactly six weeks later we did another fitness assessment. My weight dropped from 82.4 kg to 75.1 kg (7.3 kg). My abdominal measurement went from 89.8 cm to 80.1 cm (9.7 cm) and my hip measurement went from 99 cm to 91.8 cm (7.2 cm).

Now 4 months later I continue to see Nick twice a week. I have kept off all the weight and have definitely gained some muscle. What I liked most about using Ultimate Conditioning was the fantastic service Nick provides. Every Sunday since I started, Nick and I work out my training for the week and he emails me programs to do when I'm not with him.

When I first started, Nick actually came shopping with me and taught me about reading food labels and showing me better options for what I could be eating. I found this helped a lot and I was able to drop the fat fast! I highly recommend Nick and Ultimate Conditioning to anyone!”

Andi Yanto
Drew Davidson with Nick

From fat loss to an athletic body

“When I first started with Nick almost two years ago I wanted to drop fat fast. With Nick's help I was quickly able to lose about 10 kg. I then wanted to gain muscle and shape my body. Now I can proudly say that I have an athletic body that I am very happy with thanks to Ultimate Conditioning.

Not only is Nick very motivating, he always fits in my sessions around my busy shift work schedule. His prices are also very economical, especially with my private health insurance rebates. I recommend Nick and Ultimate Conditioning to everyone!”

Drew Davidson
Michelle Bailey's toned back and arms

Back to goal weight and toned up

“I have played sport since I was at school and have always been diligent with keeping healthy and fit. I do also like to travel, and with overseas trips comes lots of eating, drinking and little exercise.

Nick helped me to not only return to my normal body weight, but also shed some fat and really tone up. I continue to see him on a weekly basis in order to maintain my goal weight and physique. I also found his nutritional advice great!”

Michelle Bailey
Andrew Tomlinson with Nick

Andrew lost 9.8 kg in 6 weeks

“I have known Nick now for just over 12 months, and in that time I have found his one-on-one training both an enjoyable and body-changing experience.

My previous experiences with personal trainers were that they were generally not interested in what the client wants and just go through the same routine week after week with no emotion or personality. I am happy to say that Nick is the total opposite and has actually made the experience of training both an enjoyable and sustainable one.

Recently I entered into a 'Biggest Loser' competition and discussed my strategy with Nick. I am pleased to say that with a great deal of input from him I succeeded in losing 9.8 kilos in 6 weeks. From the training sessions to the constant assistance over the phone and text to answer questions about not only training but eating habits as well, I found him only too happy to help in any way he could to achieve my goal.

Nick has the ability to push his clients to get results at an enjoyable pace, and does this with a good sense of humour and personable approach.”
