Elite Functional Training

Great Advice / Guidance and expertise
Coming from a very low base as far as training experience this was a fantastic regime - easy to follow and the ease of use of apps and online tools - to remain connected to the trainer was first class - I certainly feel confident enough to take these training and eating programmes with me for the long term.
Callan was accessible easy to talk too and motivating
Highly recommend

5 stars - world class

At the point of changing careers, I knew I needed some help keeping motivated with health and fitness goals (I was easily doing 20k- 25k steps daily in my last job, plus more with other activities out-of-work)

I was hesitant at first, getting online PT support for a full-time FIFO job, shift work and further more in a sedentary role.

Callan Mcdonald helped me to push my boundaries, and smash personal goals I never thought I would, even with distance training.
I initially wanted support to achieve & maintain a healthy lifestyle around work, but Callan has helped me go beyond and become fitter & stronger in my 30's than in my 20's.

Goal setting, mental focus, training and nutrition advice all customised to the individual.

A big thanks Callan and would highly recommend your services even for those who don't live in NSW

I am so grateful to Callan at Elite for his energy and enthusiasm towards my health. He has such a huge knowledge and goes above and beyond to support your fitness journey. From recipes/meal plans through to an app that is jam packed full of informative exercise/stretching videos. Plus the group classes on Mon/Wed/Sat where a number of us are supported and Callan has created a great collaborative environment. Whatever your fitness level, Cal has your back!

My family and I are proud members of Elite Functional Training, with trainer Cal.
I first met Cal over 3 years ago when my then 12-year-old son, who was depressed and unfit after ACL surgery, needed assistance with his rehab. Cal transformed my son's life for the better! With Cal's mentorship and training expertise, my son gained confidence, muscle, and his passion for sport and fitness was reignited.
Since then, it has become a family affair (well, almost) with both of my boys now training with Cal on a weekly basis. I also attend three group classes a week. Despite working full time in a demanding role, travelling to the city 50% of my working time, and running a busy household, I always make time to attend the classes. Over the last 18 months, I have lost those pesky last 5kgs and maintained this. Along with gaining physical strength and an overall improvement in my fitness, I can now comfortably wear clothes without the extra COVID kg’s.
I am forever grateful to have met Cal because he has been an influential part of my boys' journeys into becoming strong and confident young men. I too enjoy the friendship, support, and friendly banter of the group classes, so I am grateful for this group who are my workout family.
If you are looking to shift some weight or even just shift your mindset on your own capabilities, then contact Cal to see if he can help you on your journey.

Callan has helped me completely rethink how to approach health, fitness, strength training, and weight loss. I’ve learnt tools and techniques that will stay with me for life. He’s professional yet very approachable and supportive, and has helped me achieve things that I didn’t think I was even capable of. He’s always there with advice, tips, and consistently cheering me on when I hit a new milestone. I’ve been a client now for 16 weeks and I’d highly recommend EFT to anyone who’s looking for solid health, training and fitness guidance!

Callan is an incredible personal trainer. I’ve been a client of Cal’s for 3 years and have only the most positive things to say. Callan absolutely goes above and beyond! Not only has he helped me with my strength and endurance training, he has personalised nutrition plans and at home workouts to help me achieve my goals. Cal continues to keep me accountable and find new ways to motivate me and stretch me to new highs. Cal is incredibly generous and flexible with his time, and has even helped my son with his training program. Cal is a great listener and now a great friend! I can’t recommend Callan highly enough.

Callan is the best PT. He creates great programs that are individually created for your specific needs. He has modified my training to allow me to stay active and rehab through various non-training related injuries.
He provides great nutritional advice and holds you accountable to your own goals.
Thanks for keeping me strong and fit.

I’ve been with Cal for 4 1/2 years and in that time he has helped me find a consistent, focused and dedicated training plan that’s tailored to my fitness needs and interests. He has helped me train for a triathlon as well as going above and beyond whilst away on deployment. Highly recommend Cal

EFT is a great place to work out. Callan is a heavily experienced coach who motivates and pushes you to your limits every session. He holds you accountable for your actions, whether it's missing a class or a slip in your nutrition plan. He is also a vault of knowledge when it comes to diet and nutrition and is always willing to help guide you and equip you with the tools and info you need to reach your goals. He's set up a great culture of inclusiveness and family at his gym where there is continuous friendly banter but always encouragement and smiles.

Great holistic training program that provides advice on nutrition, targeted exercise plans, discussions on healthy habits and support from both the coach and people who are also training. Would definitely recommend.
