Strong enough for the life you live here
Coolum is made for getting outside. The climb up Mount Coolum, the boardwalk along the headland, an early swim between the flags. Getting stronger makes all of it easier, and helps you keep doing it as the years go on.
TrueFit is a private home gym in Peregian Springs, about 10 to 15 minutes from Coolum Beach. There is no crowd and nobody watching except me. Each session is one hour, one-on-one, with a program written around your goals, your body and your schedule.
A lot of the people who contact me from Coolum have never trained with a coach before. If that is you, we start slowly, learn the basics properly and build from there.

What clients say
Google5.0Based on 66 reviews(opens Google reviews in a new tab)My first experience with a personal trainer and Richard made it amazing! He’s super calm, but knows how to push you farther each session. Me and my partner have done about 5 sessions with him and are always shocked by the progress each week. He also helped us with nutrition which was amazing.
My wife and I are in our 50s and 60 and are at different fitness levels. Richard manages our fitness programs perfectly, tailored to our fitness goals. Richard is a great motivator and we always leave tired but happy.
Richard is very personable, positive and fit! He crafted a program esp for my husband and I in order that we be fit to do some skiing after a 7 yr period of inactivity. We worked with Richard together, an hour at a time, and always arrived feeling keen and left feeling depleted but satisfied. And the skiing was great- and we suffered no injuries ( having worked on balance and thighs and arms). We are an old couple in our 70s ( Richard is in his 30s 😱)

Do you train clients from Coolum?
Yes. Face-to-face sessions are held in the TrueFit home gym in Peregian Springs, a short drive from Coolum Beach. If you would rather train closer to home, online coaching works wherever you are.
How far is the gym from Coolum?
By car, the gym is roughly 10 to 15 minutes from Coolum Beach, Yaroomba and Point Arkwright. Booking a set time each week makes it easy to fit around work.
I have never trained with a personal trainer. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Most people who start with me are beginners or returning after a long break. Your first sessions are about learning the basics and finding a starting point that suits you.
Can I use my NDIS funding?
Yes, if your plan is self-managed or plan-managed and personal training is included in your budget. TrueFit is not a registered NDIS provider, so agency-managed plans are not eligible.
