I have been working with Bode for 3 months, and recommend him very strongly! He has been very encouraging and provided tailored advice around my specific needs, especially around a busy job. Seeing the results in a short timeframe has also been fantastic from both the online coaching and in-person sessions! There are weekly check-ins, which are a real highlight - providing motivation and ensuring I stay on track. Additionally, he shares tips throughout the week and is always a phone call/ message away! Strongly recommend Bode as someone who genuinely cares and knows how to motivate, with proven results!

I've been working with Bode for several months now, and the experience has been transformative. What sets him apart is his ability to create a comprehensive fitness program tailored to my goals that feels achievable.

He didn't just give me a generic workout plan - during a consultation he took the time to fully understand my targets (some measurable, others holistic) and designed a program that combined strength training, functional fitness and mobility.

The program is incredibly well-structured, with everything from traditional lifts to calisthenics. What I particularly appreciated in the sessions is the attention to form and technique. Though in the moment it’s tough going he always makes sure I'm executing movements correctly to prevent injury.

Recently, we've added 1:1 boxing sessions to the mix, which has been real good for cardio and overall conditioning. I’ve started as a real novice but his style really pushes me to improve.

What’s great about Mo7ion brand is the holistic approach to fitness. The results speak for themselves - I've seen significant improvements in strength, mobility and overall fitness. I appreciate him for getting me back to task in it being an important part of my lifestyle.

Bode has the know-how, he’s professional and genuinely invested in helping one reach their goals.

Feeling stronger and fitter after being coached by Bode. He took the time to understand my training background, goals and nutrition, and used this to give me my specific plan. As an athlete, I found his training style very effective and functional. Thanks Bode for the commitment to motivate me to train and become a better athlete!

Bode is a great trainer. I booked in-person training sessions in January to have someone I would be accountable to start off the new year. He knows what he’s doing and was keen on helping me do the exercises with correct technique. He always greeted me with a smile, positive attitude, and encouragement for the session. I think most importantly he took the time to find out what I wanted to achieve and helped me work towards that. I’d highly recommend anyone to work with him.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Bode, and I can confidently say he is one of the best in the field. His personalised approach, deep knowledge of fitness and nutrition, and unwavering motivation make every session productive and enjoyable.

He takes the time to understand my goals and design a plan tailored to my needs. Bode is also incredibly attentive to form, ensuring exercises are performed safely and effectively.

Beyond the workouts, his encouragement and positivity have made a huge difference in keeping me committed to my fitness journey.

If you’re looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and supportive personal trainer, I highly recommend Bode, he istruly a game-changer for anyone serious about their health and fitness!

My 18 year old has ASD and whilst he enjoys the gym he needs, and only responds to, good instruction. Bode’s provides just that - clear, concise teaching points that transform technique, hopefully forever. ‘Goin’ gym’ is an important life skill that underpins good health, physical presence, and confidence. I’m surprised to say that I now expect my son to acquire much of what’s needed for a good foundation within the next 6 months - ahead of time. Thank you Bode. Keep working your magic!

Bode is the best coach around. I don’t normally write reviews but genuinely my progress from boxing tuition with Bode is 10/10. Each week I’m seeing development and looking forward to each session like a holiday. If I could score higher I would!

Constructive, responsive, and holistic. This is my first time having a PT and I’ve seen clearly that if you’re willing to engage, you’ll see great results. My form has improved hugely and the bad pains I used to get while working out are going away. I can even see an improvement in my physique after less than 2 months. Highly recommend!

Did boxing with Bode and he is a great trainer. Highly recommend.

Bode has been super helpful in teaching the fundamentals of boxing. The sessions have been both informative and fun.

Bode gave an excellent online plan for me that was both enjoyable and realistic to follow.
We had an in-depth discussion prior to receiving the plan regarding my goals and my schedule.
He covered all the bases with video examples, explanations and was always on hand to answer any questions. With his help, health and fitness has become an integral part of my routine and I look forward to getting in the gym.
Thanks Bode!

Very good and professional coach. In a relatively short time period i've seen a significant improvement in boxing ability. Good intensity, he's a very knowledge able trainer which is always a plus.

It was my first time in a ring and I had a lot of fun! I didn’t have any experience with boxing but bode was very easy to understand, really patience and gave great advice. In just an hour I had learnt the correct technique with my feet and started jabbing. Excited for my next session!

Changed the way I look at my fitness, how I eat and even how I go gym. Great one-to-one sessions that were tailored to my goals and pushed me to want to get better!! With a meal plan that was perfect for my lifestyle and not only healthy but TASTE GOOD!! I owe a lot to Bode @ 826 and I wish everyone can experience what I did, it’ll change them forever!!

Great to work with such a dedicated and professional coach. Did both calisthenics and free weights which showed me where my form can improve and set goals into 2025. Will certainly keep coming back

Bode has been an excellent online PT providing us with detailed meal plans and workout schedules. He's attentive and available and really easy to chat to. Would recommend to anyone!!

Overall, I have been very happy with the quality of service and with my decision to hire Bode as my personal trainer and recommend him to anyone who wanted to improve their fitness and have long-term growth in their physical health and goals.

Consultation
It began with a consultation to understand my lifestyle and what my goals were. I had a recently had shoulder surgery and therefore hadn’t exercised properly in eight months. I had a goal to lose a certain amount of weight and we discussed whether that was realistic and then what was required to meet that goal and therefore redefined what the goal should be. It was a weight goal and a size goal.
The service is truly realistic as a week after the consultation I had to measure what I had eaten in the week and drank every day to understand fully what changes I would need to make to my lifestyle to meet my goals.
The outcome of the consultation was an exercise and diet plan document which I could refer to and see how far I have grown. Simple changes like increasing my daily steps and maintaining that as well as changing my breakfast foods over the past few months I’ve really added to the outcome that I have achieved.

Journey
Weekly, I would receive an exercise plan which was focused on my lower body due to the recovery of the shoulder. Slowly and surely weight was added once I built strength up in my shoulder. I was never pushed too far and always asked how my pain thresh I was doing the exercises to see what adjustment should be made.
The weekly plan meant I didn’t just rely on the exercises I did with Bode in his sessions but also could be self-sufficient exercising by myself. Each of the exercises had a link to a YouTube video of how to do the exercise so that I could guide myself correctly.
The plans meant, I could really see my growth throughout the journey as I would increase repetitions or increase weight over the months.

Now
I have lost 5 kg which matched the realistic plan that Bode drew up for myself. I have increased my water intake and daily steps. Building life lasting habits as well as a better image for myself.

I have to commend Bode in always having the right attitude, even if there are days many many days where I did not want to exercise myself. He is encouraging, clear with directions patient and most importantly believes that achieving the ultimate goal is possible. He takes the time to make you understand the exercises so that you can replicate them on your own correctly as well as understand the impacted muscles.

The service has been excellent - it would be easy to provide generic advice but everything has been tailored to my goals, routine, personal circumstances which has been extremely useful.

I’ve had better control of my health and, as important, a better understanding of my body. Both have made it easier to make improvements and maintain them.

The biggest things I’ve learnt are how to improve my form for specific exercises when training and how to find creative solutions to ensure the targeted steps are hit each day without always seeming onerous.

I also don’t believe I have been oversold to - there have been instances where fewer sessions/check ins have been suggested based on where I’ve been at on my journey which further improves the trust I have.

I would definitely recommend Bode to others (and have done so already). He’s personable, available whenever needed (he’s made time while on holiday to have check ins, for example) and has kept me honest since day one!

Bode was amazing at helping me start my fitness journey. From first connecting with Bode, he made me feel comfortable by laying out his plan for me and then executing over the subsequent few weeks through personal training sessions, remote support and general advice. I completed 10 personal training sessions with Bode and have continued to lean on him. Would highly recommend.

Bode did a great job of understanding my specific fitness situation, including any injuries and diet restrictions and tailored a plan to me which has put me on the path to achieving my goals!
