I can’t recommend Foundry enough. Since training with Matt, I’ve lost 20kg, and the difference he’s made to my fitness and mindset has been massive.
Matt has taken the time to adapt my training around some old injuries, making sure I can keep progressing safely while still challenging myself. He knows when to push me and, when needed, give me that kick up the backside to keep me on track!
He’s pushed me to be better, get out of my comfort zone and achieve results I wouldn’t have thought possible on my own. His support, knowledge and motivation have been a massive part of my journey so far.
If you’re looking for a gym that delivers results and a trainer who genuinely cares about helping you improve, I’d highly recommend Foundry.

Attended the strength training for runners for several weeks as part of my marathon training, which turned out to be exactly what I needed. The hour sessions are intense yet enjoyable and week by week helped me increase the miles, injury free. Found Matt to be knowledgeable and approachable, so the concept to the exercises are easy to follow, even for me. I plan to continue these sessions to complement my standard running schedule and my yet to be determined next target. I'm more than happy to recommend these sessions to anyone who's open to progression.

I bring my son to the kids BJJ classes and he has really come on with his confidence and learnt a lot of new BJJ skills by coach Jacob. Jacob is patient and helps all the kids learn and they also play a couple of games at the end of the session. Highly recommend Foundry kids
