Lewis had a tough job of lifting our spirits with a quiet crowd today but he put on the tunes and he kept his energy high as always and he turned us around by the end of it. Lots of good pointers to keep improving too as always. I feel like I have been coming consistently to his Wednesday classes lately and really noticing an improvement 💪🏻

I really enjoy Luke’s classes! I’ve been attending his Tuesday classes since I’ve started PAC and he’s been awesome from day one. Luke really knows his stuff and always gives great advice. I’m still new to certain movements, but he’s super accommodating, he’ll always give me alternatives that suit my level while still pushing me to progress. Even on days when I’m not feeling it or start doubting myself, he’s always supportive and encouraging. His playlist is always ON point too! 😂 You’re the man, Luke!

I really enjoyed Mitch's coaching, especially during these lifting workouts! His attention to detail for every member shouldn't go unnoticed! Really drilling down on the key points of the lift and then having tailored key points that each member can work on, regardless of their experience and skill level on the lift, is an amazing attribute to have in a coach! 10/10 would attend his classes again.

Hannah explains the workout really well and breaks it down to make sure everyone understands. She circulates providing encouragement and advice if needed and ensures there are scale down movements with the body ailments of us older or injured people 😆 She has developed a sense of humor and is able to have a laugh when the boot campers are coming to grips with workouts and doing their socialising gig lol
