Coogee Gym Innervate

Having played rugby for years, had multiple surgeries, and having a number of health issues I needed a trainer who was sensible, experienced and knowledgeable. Luckily for me I found that in Lisa at Coogee Innervate.
She challenges me and pushes me out of my comfort zone, but always in a way that is safe and puts my needs first, not her ego.
Lisa has the capability and competence to modify, adjust or completely change each session based on the needs of my body on that particular day.
I cannot thank her enough for helping me to be able to function and move as the best possible me.
In case you haven't worked it out yet, she is good.

Simply put, Lisa has changed my life. I joined Coogee Gym through a friend’s recommendation and it’s one of the best decisions I made. I have a lifelong medical condition that affects my left leg and back, and also have a severe limp. Because of Lisa’s knowledge, passion for helping people and her careful guidance in every session, she’s given me hope and confidence that I never thought was possible. I’m the most strong and stable (when walking) I have ever been in my life. Lisa’s gym is my new happy place and the community she has built is supportive, kind and full of amazing people from all different walks of life. I’ll never be able to thank you enough, Lisa!

I felt compelled to write this review as Lisa’s program has had such a positive impact on my strength, endurance and mobility. I love this gym as Lisa takes the time each class to review my technique ensuring I’m maximising every workout & I don’t get injured. Lisa’s enthusiasm for life is contagious and this is evident in the program she has designed - her workouts are thoughtful and challenging but they are also welcoming and fun (even the hill sprints!). Lisa has created a fantastic fitness community & I couldn’t recommend Innervate more highly.

Joining Innervate is one of the best decisions I have made in recent times. Lisa and the team are so caring and motivating, and the community is full of real people working towards their own goals at their own pace. Lisa is very supportive and so knowledgeable, and perhaps most importantly, makes me laugh every session! I'm so excited to continue my journey with her. Innervate doesn't feel like a gym, it feels like a safe space for me to grow and challenge myself.

Lisa is a very knowledgeable trainer, super enthusiastic and committed to teach us to use the correct techniques and improve our physical capacity. I had big problems with my knee when I joined and she helped me to fix that, get stronger and really start enjoying weight training. Highly recommended!

Lisa is a really great trainer, and has the knowledge to understand and adjust to any injuries you carry, the experience to tell you when your technique is incorrect and she has the banter/personality to push you through those early morning sessions. I’ve only been training with the 7am crew for a couple of Months but really enjoying the training blocks and trusting the process put in place.

Put in the work in the group training and take time to focus on the bonus training content offered by Lisa and you’l be smashing your goals in no time!

I have never really enjoyed working out and have always found myself flitting between different classes and different gyms lacking motivation not finding the right thing for me but I have found it with Lisa and Coogee Gym Innervate!

Lisa is brilliant and she really knows her stuff. She really cares about all her clients and gets to know each of our individual needs and goals. The group classes are fun but focused. I feel more confident and stronger about my fitness and it’s all down to Lisa's expertise and guidance. Highly recommend!

I regularly walked past Innervate Gym at Coogee and thought, this gym ticks all my boxes - strength, intervals and yoga - I must join. Finally instead of walking past I walked in and it was one of the best decisions I have made.
Lisa really knows her stuff, and even though I have multiple previous injuries / limitations, Lisa just takes this in her stride and modifies the exercises to meet me and my body - it is not a one size fits all approach, it is a what works for you and your body.
A great, friendly gym with personalised service. I cannot recommend this gym highly enough. Don't be like me and walk past, walk in - you won't regret it.

Lisa is an absolute oracle on all things fitness and an all-round incredible human. She focuses on helping you feel strong and healthy which has such a positive effect on all other parts of life.
I have trained with Lisa for about 6 months now and it has been the best thing that I’ve done for myself and the most consistent I have been with fitness in my whole life! I was so intimidated by working out, but I have learned so much and feel so much more confident in the gym.
The community is beautiful and classes are always challenging, fun and fly by so quickly - genuinely they are my favourite part of the week now!
The yoga and big bang sessions with Jo and Lulu are also fantastic.
I have a hard time explaining to people how much I enjoy this gym because it really is so perfect!

What a great find! Possibly the best gym environment I have ever been in. Lisa is a great trainer that motivates and encourages you to challenge yourself each and every week. I thoroughly enjoy going.

Lisa's extensive experience and consideration to strength development and injury prevention combined with her authentic positive attitude to fitness in her motivational training has changed my life, I am stronger and fitter, my posture has improved as a result of Lisa's expertise and I really enjoy training with the people she attracts to her class. It's a pleasure to be part of such a wonderful community.

Lisa is an expert in both strength training and human understanding. I think of her as my coach and not just my PT. She has a wonderful energy that drives you towards those gains. Highly recommend!

Lisa is a fantastic and passionate trainer who has created a very streamlined fitness program to help people at various ages and stages of their training lives achieve their goals. The amazing bit is how she is able to pay personal attention to each person in our little community while running a very fast paced and intense session. She is very knowledgeable about musculoskeletal physiology and biomechanics, and is passionate about helping people overcome injuries and obstacles in their fitness journeys.

Lisa is an incredible trainer and it is clear she brings a wealth of knowledge and years of expertise to every single session. From day one she figured out where my body needed particular attention (for me, my lower back) and she is fastidious about ensuring everyone trains safely. I only joined in January but I already feel stronger, more confident and have a renewed focus on where I went to go with my training. Life changing!

The classes are very professional, on time, and cater for individual needs for maximum benefit. Lisa's incredible knowledge and experience ensure the exercises are right for you. It's the complete training package, I'm over 45 and loving it.

Absolute best and most educated trainer in Sydney by a far mile. I had a massive back problem in the start of 2022 and have visted over 15 "degree" holding practioners such as physios and chiros but nothing helped, they made back problem even more chronic! Lisa brown with her expertise and knowledge gave me a McGill assessment and taught me the stepping stones to getting back my normal life again. I can't thank her enough. She is really the best. Would highly recommend anyone with back issues, seeking knowledge of lifting properly with the correct bio mechanics

Lisa is the best trainer ever - combining serious technical chops and a truly personal approach, delivered with sass and character. She is the whole 360 degree package, empathetic and motivating - she's done amazing things for my physical and mental health.

Lisa is an extremely knowledgeable, passionate, energetic and compassionate trainer who has built a wonderful community that feels like home away from home. I have been training with injury and have made more progress than I could have hoped through working with Lisa and her in-depth knowledge of the body and movement. I'd highly recommend working with Lisa to anyone who wants to build strength and work towards a life without injury and pain.

Lisa has created such a welcoming, fun and inclusive environment in her gym. I was completely new to this type of training, but within weeks I was feeling confident and stronger - all down to Lisa's expertise and guidance. Love the diversity of training on offer, would highly recommend!

I had pretty much lost all motivation to exercise, felt sluggish, tired, creaky and old. I had only ever done high intensity workouts, which left me burnt out and carrying injury. Lisa has an attention to detail, catering to everyone’s age, ability and body type. I feel stronger and energised in only few months, with the technical skills to lift and strengthen that will last a lifetime.
