Highlights

I often hear people saying, "I can't put on weight", "I can add mass", "I can't gain anymore" and its true you can't if you don't know how. I went from a 57kg skinny boy to 62kg lean strong man in a matter of months. Why? The guidance of one man, Peter Mamo.

No stone was left unturned we worked to build a core foundation of strength during the initial weekly sessions. We then worked on a bespoke regime that was designed to continually push and challenge me. I was then given a detailed plan to follow in the supplementary sessions I completed on my own and each week the gains all over my body were clear.

One of the biggest difference for me was the nutritional advice. I didn't eat particularly unhealthy but also didn't have the greatest relationship with food when it came to achieving my goals. Peter spent time with me understanding what would work for me in terms of my lifestyle and actual tastes and developed a plan that at easy and enjoyable to follow.

With this total transformation, and transformation it truly was I gained knowledge, confidence and improved my life no end.

Put simply, Get involved!

I've been training with Peter for over two years now and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a Personal Trainer who will push you but also listen to you and your body.

I had a shoulder injury (not sport related) and Peter took into account my Physio's recommendations and also tailored our programme to initially avoid the injury but then slowly strengthen the shoulder and I'm now achieving new and higher goals. His fitness and training expertise is fantastic and he always seems to be educating himself so our sessions often have a new element or variation incorporated into them.

While I'll never be an elite athlete, and probably not likely to do a zombie run either, he's certainly helped me to build and develop my exercise skill set, all with a few laughs along the way.

Motivated. Disciplined. Professional. In the four years I have been training with Peter, these are the words that I have come to associate with his approach to training. In this time I have not only seen improved results with my physical health but also a positive impact on my mindset and how I face other challenges in my life. More importantly, our training has also evolved as I have become fitter, stronger and more confident by setting new benchmarks and challenges. His approach to training balances a strict approach to form, an unwavering discipline to completing the task at hand but done so with an innate ability to support, motivate and celebrate the wins I achieve along the way.

These things aren't superficial displays by Peter either but run deep in his DNA as evidenced by his own fitness goals and challenges. He is by far an exemplary role model that anyone can't help but admire and be influenced by. Training with Peter has also been more than just fitness; it's been an education. Apart from enjoying the exercise and incorporating it into my day-to-day routine, I have also learnt a whole new approach to food, its role in my life and been able to make smart choices to support my goals. Peter is also very proactive in providing his clients with up-to-date information on health, fitness and other points of interest related to training and a healthy approach to life. I am forever grateful to him for helping me get on track and transforming my life!

I've been seeing Peter weekly since September 2009 with the intent of increasing my muscle mass. Using Peter's programme I have gained 20 kilos, a body composition scan shows my lean muscle mass now exceeds my original weight.

Peter is always receptive and attentive, his positive attitude helps me maintain motivation and his feedback helps me maintain focus. From our sessions I've gained a new found confidence and energy I never knew existed within me. Although I have achieved my goal of gaining muscle mass I plan to continue training with Peter for some time yet. Peter's infectious energy and drive keeps me striving daily for a better me.

Peter is a fantastic personal trainer! I've been training with Peter for almost 3 years now. He always challenges me with something new, plans each workout and I never get bored (which is really difficult to achieve). He is very professional, encouraging, and always has something interesting to chat about (I'm usually too out of breath). He has a lot of knowledge both in exercise training and nutrition & very focused on functional/full body workouts. Love him!

I've been through a few trainers over the years and this is the first time I've seen results, and seen them quickly. Peter isn't just a great trainer while you're in the gym, he's a great communicator, and that makes all the difference. In every session Peter tells you why you're doing each exercise, he asks you how you are going toward your goal and gives you the positivity and encouragement to help you outside of the gym as well.

y goal was to reach 75 kilos, and anyone who is naturally thin knows how hard it is. I reached my goal in less than 6 months. Peter not only arms you with great nutritional advice, but by asking you how your goal is going each session, he opens the lines of communication so that if you've hit a snag he can alter that advice and get you back on track. I stalled at 72 kilos, but by discussing with Peter and getting a little more guidance I was back on track and gaining weight again.

It's not all Peter, though - you have to be focussed and driven. But through his positive and encouraging attitude, Peter makes you want to do your best. I've never felt better - internally and externally - and I couldn't have done it without him. Believe me, I've tried!

After three months of eating my way through Europe I returned to Sydney with my 40th birthday fast approaching. My clothes were tight in all the wrong places. That's when Pete stepped in and began the transformation. He developed an evolving program targeted at my specific needs and goals. I was really impressed with the nutritional advice and support that was crucial to stripping the fat while maintaining muscle mass - this has really led to a complete lifestyle change for me and I feel fantastic for it.

The biggest difference between Pete and other personal trainers is that he genuinely cares for you - your goals are his goals and if you can commit yourself to them, he will make sure you reach them. The birthday has been and gone - the numerous flattering compliments I received made the pain all worth it. Next goal - Mardi Gras!

Kyle Olsen

Pete was my first experience with a personal trainer and i was worried about the whole experience after hearing stories from mates about their experiences, however i had nothing to worry about. Pete made me feel comfortable in the gym and worked with my strenghts and focussed on my weaknesses. The best part was that he listened to my needs and helped me achieve my personal goals.

I trained with him for nearly 2 years and in that time i completed the city to surf twice and the Sydney to Wollongong BIke ride once which i felt pretty chuffed about! Pete supported me the whole way through with a big smile on his face and listening to my whinging! He's a great trainer and and treats his clients as friends rather than just a number! My only regret was having to move away from him when changed jobs!

Cheers, Neil Mcleish

"Let's go", "two more", "come on", "you're smashing it" are just some of the phrases with which you become familiar when you train with Peter. His ability to balance amiability with a serious approach to training makes him a valuable and valued person to work with.

Peter has not only pushed me to achieve my goals, but has done so with an unfailing commitment to my objectives, goals and form, and we've even had a few laughs along the way. I couldn't recommend Peter highly enough.

Chris Stephenson

After a couple of years of going to the gym on and off (and never getting the results I wanted!), I approached Peter. I didn't really know what I wanted, other than to "get fit". Peter spent time helping me work out my goals and put a program in place to help me achieve these. I quickly realised what a great decision I'd made. Peter is very engaging, holds me to account for my eating and gym attendance, and is generally a great guy to be around.

I only see Peter once a week so I was keen to get a trainer who motivates me and sets me up to achieve my goals when he isn't around. Peter does all this and more. I now have a great program in place and, probably most importantly, I enjoy working out. After talking to friends who spend their hard earned cash on other trainers and aren't getting the results they want, the thing that most impresses me about Peter is that he never stops working for me. I don't think I've ever done the same exercise in the same way since first seeing Peter.

He's helped me realise that being fit and healthy isn't about occasional trips to the gym or about being hard on myself. Instead, I now see fitness, as about being part of a balanced and fun lifestyle. Plus, I can't help but admit I really like the way my body is changing! If anyone out there is wondering if it's worth spending money on this? it definitely is! For the same price as a night out, you can have a great personal trainer and I guarantee you'll feel much better than having a hangover!

Michael Foley

As a long-term client of Peter, I have found him to be a wonderful personal trainer of tremendous knowledge, versatility, professionalism and discipline. His pleasant and positive attitude is a great asset to his willingness to work with you at your own level.

He knows just how and when to encourage and when to push (though never too much)

Regards Sharna Glover

I've been training with Pete for over 18 months and it's helped me achieve my upper body strength objectives. Tough for a guy of my build .. it's nice to be told that I've "manned up" recently!

Keeping regular PT sessions have kept me on track, even when it's been tempting to stay in bed, and of course the learning and instruction from a qualified professional means I've been the most of my time at the gym! ... Although there is always room for improvement... ;) It's a fact that the regular sessions - even if it's once a week - have kept me on track when otherwise the "wheels" might have fallen off given my busy and social career and lifestyle..

Cheers, Patrick Whittingham

I appreciate the time and knowledge Pete has devoted to my training over the last 6 months. It has been extremely satisfying to see my body change and become stronger. Pete is effortlessly personable and I looked forward to every training session with him.

He was able to push me beyond my own fitness goals with his unique technical knowledge. The devotion he showed to each of his clients was outstanding. I'm sad to see him leave as his training sessions will absolutely be missed, but happy to see him pursue his dreams in New York. I highly recommend Pete to anyone who has particular fitness goals they want to achieve. Hands down the best trainer I have trained with!"

Sandra

It was just a test, exploring what a PT like Peter could add to my usual routine of exercise classes like BodyCombat and BodyStep. Peter inspired me to get stronger and fitter.

He was always patient until I mastered the right technique for new exercises and knew exactly when/where to push me harder. When I injured my shoulder during a Boxing class, he found ways to train around that and to build up my shoulder strength again.

Peter trained me every Saturday morning for 8 long years and it never got boring! All the best, Peter, and NY is lucky to have you!"

Katja

I started training with Peter in March of 2015. Just before starting with Peter my training and physique plateaued, I was stuck in a rut and not really wanting to continue with training.

Through his expertise and knowledge of different training styles Peter managed to rekindle my passion and challenged me to push harder. All through our sessions Peter was pedantic about proper form when lifting we would go through drills to ensure that I was lifting in the correct way to avoid any injury that could be caused by the weight I was lifting. After several conversations on what things I enjoyed doing what I didn't like Peter reshaped my training to more agility and athletic training.

The training was intense but enjoyable, I found a style that made me look forward to the next session to see what was instore for me. Peter's advice on dieting, his strategies that we put in place to avoid unnecessary calories helped me get into the best shape I have ever been in. Peter has always excelled when it came to answering any questions I may have in and outside the gym. I am truly grateful for the care, guidance and willingness he has shown me, always working hard to help me achieve the goals that I have set myself.

Jason

I trained with Peter for a few months while I was working in NYC. He was dependable, conscientious, knew how much to push me, and, best of all, really funny! We've stayed friends and I highly recommend him.

Laurie Metcalf

Best in the business, knowledgeable, caring and tough. I started with Pete at 140kg and now im 114kg in 5 months of training. Im playing better footy, recovering quicker and making plays week in and week out.

Ryan

I trained with Peter for two years and the training he provided was excellent from start to finish. Not only does Peter get you results, he also makes sure you understand the principles behind his methodology. Peter's experience and adaptability was evident when we had to quickly switch to outdoor workouts during the COVID lockdown in Sydney - he managed to maintain the same intensity and variety without missing a single session!

If you want to go fast, look else where. If you want to go far, train with Pete.

Arthur

I started working with Peter after a 5-year absence from the gym, and knew immediately that his personable approach and encouraging style were a great fit for me and different from personal trainers I had worked with before. He listened to my goals and built a fitness program that suited my capabilities, while at the same time challenging me.

We communicated constantly so that he knew my comfort level with new exercises, and he encouraged me to push myself while always making safety a top priority. Before I knew it, I was doing things I did not know I was capable of - deadlifting, training ropes, rowing - seeing phenomenal results (losing 30 lbs and several dress sizes in 18 months) and genuinely looking forward to coming to the gym every Monday evening for our sessions!

Throughout all this, Peter put great emphasis on warming up at the start of our sessions (foam rolling, hip circles, stretching properly), and inquired about other factors that affect training, such as sleep and nutrition.

Catherine

I've been training with Peter Mamo over the last year, following surgery on my ankle from a football injury. He has helped me regain full mobility and strength in that area allowing me to return and be productive on the field. I have been highly impressed with his level of professionalism and knowledge, that I've continued to train with him, to help improve other areas of my performance.

Pete's understanding of the human anatomy and mechanics is knowledge that he shares with me during our sessions which helps me understand what I am doing and why I am doing it. I have chosen to continue training with Peter this year to lose some weight, improve overall mobility and increase strength, not only for football but also for everyday life as a husband and father.

I would highly recommend training with Pete to help you achieve your goals. He is an all round great bloke and someone that you can actually converse with.

Semisi Tara

Pete is a great coach and a great person. He has a very sound knowledge of all things strength and conditioning and is always learning.

I am a sprinter and need specific programming - Pete provides this in an adaptive, supportive and caring way.

Do not hesitate to employ Pete's services for whatever it is you want to achieve - I highly recommend.

Timothy Vrachnas

I began training with Peter by recommendation, to program and coach my strength and conditioning requirements as part of my preparation for the demands of officiating elite level sport. No stranger to a high-performance environment, off the bat I was impressed by the holistic approach Peter takes with his clients, through careful individualised programming, specific and timely feedback, and consistent check ins to gauge performance and recovery levels. He is not only aware of my short and long-term goals, but he keeps me focused on the outcomes that will help me achieve them.

Peter has played an integral role in my season preparation, recently taking on my sprint and agility programming and coaching, to complement the strength sessions he plans and facilitates. On the field, I have found Peter to be knowledgeable, detailed, and encouraging whilst providing comprehensive correction and feedback. He consistently demonstrates his coaching is backed in research and science, as he regularly provides context and explanation for the individual elements that he programs. I have complete confidence in his ability to prepare me for the requirements of the domestic season, tournaments, test series, and major events.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pete to anyone who has a physical goal, whether athlete or otherwise; I can absolutely guarantee he will get you there, with a heap of laughs along the way.

Bronwen

I play American football and Ive been training with Peter for about three years now.

Peter has taken me to my athletic peak and helped me work on different aspects of my game via the workouts.

The knowledge of the body and what to do best for every body part is second to none. Love training with Peter! The best in the biz!

Rusty

I wanted a trainer who cared about my results and progress as much as I did and Pete definitely was that trainer.

He kept me accountable weekly and all I had to do was be consistent with his program and the results spoke for itself.

I was the fittest, strongest and fastest I’ve ever been in my athletic career.

I can’t recommend him enough to serious Athletes who want to be the best in their respective sport careers!
