CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

I didn't want much - just to be able to carry the groceries, hang the washing out, walk up a set of stairs unaided. Fast forward 5 years and I can do all that and so much more. My mate John recommended I go and meet with Rex at Esteem Fitness. A single moment that (and I am not exaggerating) changed my life.
Rex does so much more than set a program or just train me. He gives me the time and space to foster my own personal drive, and inspires me to challenge my thinking. He knows his stuff and is very skilled at encouraging his clients to give their best.

Training with Rex, I am always learning and eager to get to the gym. I have gained so much confidence and strength. In case you are wondering, I recently deadlifted 173kg. Not too shabby for someone who used to cry at the thought of holding a couple of kilos or stepping up onto a box without having something to hold onto! I am excited to see where we go next - I will be training with Rex for a long time to come.

Rex will listen to your goals, plan how to get you there and encourage you every step along the way. He will pick up on your weaknesses or imbalances and work to correct them to ensure you are performing at your safest and best. It’s a complete learning experience with amazing rewards.

I first started working with Rex Kanis in 2012 when he arrived in Canberra. Over the past 14 years, my engagement has moved to small group fitness training and of late, 1:1 personalized fitness and training sessions. Over this entire period, Rex has been consistently attentive, supportive, professional and progressive. He not only designs tailored training programs to address my current aspirations, events and activities, but he systematically monitors my performance and goals with an aim to repair existing injuries and increase strength, flexibility and capability.

Rex is highly intelligent and brings a level of active engagement in every session. His communication skills are outstanding, as is his industry knowledge and training techniques. While Rex encourages ownership and accountability from all his students, and actively seeks input and feedback, Rex will also provide guidance to his clients if their athletic endeavours are ill-advised or poorly planned.

Rex’s fitness studio is always welcoming, clean and well-equipped, and he takes an active pride to ensure that all sessions run smoothly, on time and are beneficial to his clients. His approach is very client-centric with an extraordinary level of flexibility and collaboration. Like myself, many of the current Esteem Fitness members are long-term clients or have experienced other service providers and have returned to Rex. We not only enjoy our group and individual sessions with Rex but have benefitted greatly over the years due to his expertise and diligence, pushing us to meet aspirational goals at a pace that matches our physical and mental fortitude. Rex is exceptionally well regarded by all – especially those who seriously want to be better!

Karen

I began training with Rex in 2011 after several years of searching for exercise-based solutions to some postural problems.
With the benefit of careful instruction and guidance from Rex I soon changed some long-term bad exercise habits and through twelve months of weekly training sessions, Rex helped me to regain a level of fitness and mobility that I had previously assumed was no longer possible.
While I often described his style of instruction as 'precision pain' I appreciated Rex's dedication to finding the exact exercises needed to strengthen my 'dormant' muscles and to take the strain off others.
Importantly for all his clients, Rex is famous for being skilled in the art of distraction. His dedication to humour, storytelling and other theatrics made his sessions fun and alleviated the discomfort and frustration that can otherwise so easily accompany training.
