Cinch PT & Transformation Studio

A wonderful place for busy people to train. Nikki and her team are serious about helping you get the best out of your workout. You'll work hard, but have great fun doing it. Expect to get some serious results, so long as you're prepared to be consistent. It's not called a transformation studio for nothing!

I’ve been going to Cinch since February this year and feel like I’ve found my forever fitness home!
Nikki has created a beautiful, bespoke studio with a large variety of workout equipment for all ages and abilities. Nikki delivers a new program each term and mixes up the exercise so it’s always interesting and your body is constantly being challenged.

Nikki and her trainers, Lyndall and Amanda, are extremely knowledgeable and everyone who works out at Cinch are supportive and encouraging. Not only when it comes to reaching your fitness goals, but also with life in general. The women I have met and train with are all so beautiful and inspiring and I genuinely look forward to hanging out and lifting weights them every week! Thanks Nikki for what you have created at Cinch!

I have been going to Cinch for a couple of years now and absolutely love it. Nikki and her team have created such a welcoming environment that it is impossible not to feel brilliant when you are done. All of the trainers are lovely and also invested in helping you reach your full potential, which with their expert guidance and tuition is often far greater than you would have imagined for yourself. Progressive strength training was new to me when I joined Cinch, but I have always felt very confident to push myself because the trainers keep a very keen eye on what is happening and are quick to correct form or technique as needed. Nikki puts a lot of effort into her programs each term to ensure that we are always doing something different and fun. Her online spin classes are wonderful, she manages to squeeze an awesome cardio workout into a half hour session that is super convenient being able to do it from home while the rest of the household is getting ready for their day. Following actual cycling events keeps the classes interesting and lively!

Brilliant gym, highly highly recommended!

Training with Cinch is great. Nikki and Lyndall are very patient and supportive. I am in my 50s and had not been in a gym for more than 10 years. Nikki has helped me improve my balance and coordination as well as my strength and fitness. I highly recommend this studio, especially if you're like me and haven't seen the inside of a gym for years.

A friend tried to convince me to join for two years but I hesitated because of the cost. I've never had a better value for money gym. Because I GO. Multiple class times for the professionally active make the classes accessible and they are also planned and fun. Nikki and Lyndall are exquisite, with personalised teaching (I need it) and attention to detail. Gym filled with flowers and art and fabulous women.

Cinch training continually exceeds my expectations. Nikki and the team are some of the best trainers I’ve come across - providing a range of exercises, techniques, and guiding proper form. The team is extensively qualified and continually learning and sharing their knowledge.
It’s so great training with like minded smart women, in a welcoming and safe environment with top equipment.
My weights training has literally gone from strength to strength. Thanks so much Nikki, Lyndal, Amanda, Daylan!

Cinch is a one-of-a-kind place to train, and PT Nikki is a one-of-a- kind trainer. I started at Cinch when I couldn't bear the Covid weight gain and low vibe any more and honestly did not know how long I would last. Almost two years later I feel better than I ever have, I LOOK fantastic having turned 40 in the meantime and I know that strength training and lifting weights will be something I do for life. Cinch attracts some wonderful people, and that's largely because of PT Nikki whose unstoppable energy and passion for training is totally unique. She's also incredibly experienced and is training you hard without you quite realising it - because she's focussed on making it fun all the time. Also: running training programs by the school term rhythm is GENIUS and keeps everyone who trains at Cinch engaged, having fun, and making visible progess. Highly recommended!

I've been coming to Cinch for over 6 years now and I love the progressive weights program and all the research Nikki puts in to create our programs.

I thoroughly recommend this studio if you want to get stronger and have fun at the same time.

The studio and the equipment is well cared for and a beautiful space to workout. All the trainers are very experienced, supportive and bring their own special skills from sports rehab doctor, sports science, pilates, wellbeing, healthy life style and nutrition coaching.

The overall vibe of the studio is welcoming, friendly and happy.

Fabulous luxe weight training studio.
Super clean, welcoming studio, and plenty of weights and equipment available.

Superstar Nikki from Cinch offers am and pm weight training sessions and also has morning spin classes. Cinch regularly offers extra health and wellbeing classes such as yoga, Pilates, physio led stretch and trigger point sessions.

I thoroughly recommend working with any of the super experienced and highly qualified PT's at Cinch, most are exercise physiologist trained.
I have enjoyed training and learned so much over the last 4 years from each of the pm PT's Daylan, Amanda, and Nikki and Lyndall during the am training sessions, They are all so good at what they do!

Cinch is passionate about promoting evidence based, injury free, strength training. You won't be disappointed.

I love this studio. Nikki is the best in the business, she truly is an amazing transformational PT - and is with you each step of the way.

I am that person who struggles to exercise, and joined Nikki through Melbourne's 2nd Lockdown, online. She was a lifeline, and foundationally, helped me to sustain exercise as an integral part of my life. I love her studio, the tribe of people, and love the flexibly of being able to do stream live into a class if I am stuck for time, as I run a small business from home.

Nikki is amazing! So much more than an awesome personal trainer, more whole life trainer, food, keeping active, training and more. And not just focused progressive strength training but also the spin sessions based on real races. The studio is so well thought out and planned to make the best of every session, and not just functional but also looks great.

I joined this gym last year about 2 months before lockdown happened in 2020. Nikki is the most caring and generous trainer I've ever known. I was struggling with motivation during lockdown and she started running Saturday afternoon stretch/yoga zoom classes just to help myself and a few others find our groove again. She would lend people gear over lockdown so they would keep training. She wants you to succeed and is invested in you. She looks you in the eye and is always thinking strategically about how to help you most effectively.

This is the most positive gym I've ever worked out at. No one yells at you, unless they're excited about a new PB you've just done! People work together, are friendly and warm and support each other. Nikki has built a real community here and it shows.

Nikki doesn't care what your goal is, just that she can help you reach it safely. There's also a book club connected with the gym and every book I've read as part of the group has been excellent and the conversation (even via zoom!) is always hilarious. I know the book club isn't the point of a gym, but the fact that she's organised one shows how she cares about your mental health along with your physical health.

I've never been bored in a class and I'm lifting weights I never thought I'd be able to do and it's all functional fitness! And the best part is that I know if I keep attending Cinch, the numbers will get even better!

Highly recommend!

Nikki is a true champion for women. She always positively motivates and gently encourages me to push my limits even when it’s 6am. Her studio celebrates inner happiness, strength, fitness and health over vanity and aesthetics. I look forward to the friendly chats with other members and always feel like I’m a true part of the Cinchy family.

Nikki is amazing. She has such a wealth of experience and knowledge. Her programing is smart, efficient and effective to get results. She provides so many add ons to assist with your fitness journey and goals which shows her genuine care for clients. The studio space is clean, and cute and has everything we need. Being a member of cinch is fantastic!

I highly recommend Cinch. I have been training here for over 2 years and have never felt better, and stronger. The studio is beautiful with a boutique vibe, and it's super clean. Nikki has a wealth of knowledge and is there every step of the way to help your transformation. Everyone is super friendly and encouraging. Fab place to be!

I joined Nikki and the Cinch PT team a few months back when I saw them open in our local area. I'd been using COVID as an excuse not to look after myself and was suffering physically and mentally. Some of the first words Nikki said to me were "you just need to start moving" from there I have felt fully supported and encouraged in my strength training. There are flexible options in terms of times available, morning, evening and live stream. Nikki has wonderful connections in the community from physios to myotherapy experts all of whom I have used to rehab an old injury. Nikki offers online tools, including motivation, recipes, at home workouts and videos, Whilst my strength training journey has only just began, I am stronger, healthier and more centred than I have been in years. I highly recommend Cinch to anyone who wants to make changes in their life by leveraging expert trainers with the most up to date knowledge in a friendly supportive environment.

Nikki is the ultimate professional. Very knowledgeable and motivated, offering a wealth of experience I look forward to training. Whether we are in lockdown or not, it doesn't matter, Nikki still finds ways to connect and deliver! Highly recommend.

Nikki Ellis is the best trainer in the business. The studio itself is a beautiful boutique space and the vibe is friendly and relaxed but results focused. Training at Cinch is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, if you’re looking for a sign to join this is it!

Nikki at Cinch PT & Transformation is AMAZING! I have been a client for over 10 years. Nikki’s passion, incredible knowledge, empathetic nature and ability to connect with people at all levels is extraordinary. Nikki really cares about her clients. Everyone who trains at Cinch is so supportive and we always welcome new clients with open arms. I highly recommend Cinch PT & Transformation.

Absolutely love training here! Nikki and her team of trainers offer the very best programs in a fabulous environment which is made up of premium equipment and a supportive community of lovely people.
