Under the guidance of our PT Coach and Nutrition Coach Rachel was able to achieve outstanding results.  Her disciplined approach to her training saw her complete weight sessions 4/5 times per week whilst following her nutrition plan. We were so proud to see Rachael enter a Physique Competition showing off her new body!

Gareth trained with Shayne 5 days per week again following Jessica's nutrition programs. Training with a personal trainer this often you can imagine the results came very fast Gareth got to his goal in only 3 months increasing his lean muscle mass by 10kgs and dropping 15% body fat. Gareth was not doing any weights training before hand so he responded very fast to the training and nutrition. Gareth and Shayne reset his goals and he managed to put further amounts of muscle and strip even more body fat.

"Before my time with Shayne and his team, I had three years of experience in the gym. In July of last year, I decided to seek some professional assistance with weightlifting and nutrition as I was unhappy with my progress. I chose to take a ‘leap of faith’, so to speak, and I can thankfully say almost a year later that it was one of the best decisions I have made. I personally underwent a 12-week program that included four personal training sessions a week, plus a nutrition plan. Upon following the recommended principles of nutrition, alongside giving 100% in the gym, I can wholeheartedly say that my sense of general wellbeing improved dramatically. Initially the whole program appeared to be daunting and simply impractical. Despite this, I can assure anyone who is undecided that after a few weeks of dedication to the program it will seamlessly incorporate itself into your busy lives."

"Thanks Shayne and Jess for helping achieve better than what I thought I could achieve. I feel better than I ever have, the diet and workout regime is very realistic and easy to maintain I'll never go back to the way I was eating again."

Matt was 37kg with a lung function of only 25% when he started. He couldn't even lift an empty bar when he walked into the gym, we had to start him on 3kg Dumbbells. Doctors had told him that it was nearly impossible for him to put weight on with his condition. Matt was born with cystic fibrosis, a lung disorder that has a life expectancy of early 30s. About 7 years ago the drs told Matt his condition was worsening and needed to put weight on- but didn't know how he possibly could. Shayne disagreed with the doctors: he believed Matt could put on weight. Shayne saw Matt as a opportunity to prove the doctors wrong. Over the next couple of years Matt went from the extremely frail 37kgs with low self esteem to a 70kg man full of confidence an much improved health! 

Devastatingly, Matt's journey was hindered again in march 2014 when the drs said without a double lung transplant he would die. He went on the transplant list, and 3 days and some very emotional phone calls later he had new lungs. Shayne visited Matt in hospital and we knew we were in for some new challenges that we would have to overcome. Matt struggled after his op to get back to feeling normal and to regain all the muscle he lost from the surgery and the extensive hospital stay. Once out, Matt was extremely keen to get back in the gym - so keen he came back three days after he got home! 

Matts doctors said he wouldn't be able to lift more than 2kg ever again, he now has a 85% lung function, is 78kg, 5% body fat and lifts double his body weight! He since competed in a powerlifting competition, he won his weight division.

Matt continues to train with Shayne, Jess and Nick the whole team at The Liftlab and betters himself with every session. Matt is an inspiration to our whole team and are glad we were able to help him in his amazing journey. 

Dan trained with Shayne following a flexible nutrition plan with a goal to lose 20kgs in 12 weeks (we at The Liftlab do not condone this). Shayne took on the challenge. Dan had a grand opening for one of his restaurants coming up, he had to speak in front of media, friends and family and he wanted to get into the best shape of his life. Dan trained his butt off for 12 weeks with Shayne 3 days a week and followed a loose training program outside of these PT sessions. He was also only following Shayne’s basic nutritional guide lines, not a customised strict nutrition plan. Dan never weighed any food, just followed our nutrition principals. Dan ended up losing nearly 25kgs in 12 weeks.

Hello, my name is Kathryn, I’m 58 and used to be one of “those” people who could eat anything….then I hit my fifties, enough said. We moved to Australia in 2007 from the UK and fell completely in love with our new Ozzie life, the hot sunny days, the relaxed lifestyle, the wine, the barbecues, I’d even found the shops where I could buy English chocolate!! I hadn’t really noticed the weight creeping on until I saw a photo of myself, I had gained 20kgs and was ashamed of how I looked. I joined a Local Boot Camp going 3-4 times a week, I started losing the weight, but in 2013 I fractured my hip and in 2014 fractured the other hip, my bone density was low, I kept up with Boot Camp for a while then left. In January 2016 I broke my foot, I was unhappy with my weight so joined the Goodlife Gym near where I work, in February 2016 me and my moon boot started personal training with Fran Mulbe. Personal Training seemed to be working, Fran kept me accountable and on track, I was losing weight and getting stronger but I still felt my mind set was not right, in September 2017 Fran left and I met Marty Radford, another Personal Trainer at Goodlife, at this point I was 73kgs - not where I wanted to be. From the outset Marty and I set goals, lose 10kgs, tone, gain strength, be happy with myself and all this with no injuries, Marty was enthusiastic, me less so. I also had a beautiful dress that no longer fitted me, I used this as one of my success measures. I was anxious, given my history, Marty was not easy on me and I will admit in those early days training was hard, but he listened, he was patient, he concentrated on my technique, he knew just how far to push and motivate me, we also worked on my diet, I could see the change not only in my body and strength but in my mind set, his knowledge gave me confidence and in 8 months I have lost just over 10kgs, I am feeling the strongest I have felt in a very long time and all with no injuries, my latest scan shows my bone density has increased by 15%, this is working……although the chin-up still alludes me I am now in the beautiful dress!! Marty is now moving to a new gym that specialises in training and nutrition, I am following him there with some new goals and cannot wait to continue this journey with Marty and the Lift Lab team.

Now I'm not one for selfies BUT I do think it’s important to demonstrate that I practise what I preach. Even I have my own goals (& sometimes battles) - to gain and maintain weight - I know it’s not a common problem among women but you always want what you can't have, right?! The picture on left is me at my lowest weight - unhealthy model diet (starvation) with long hours of cardio, this was a couple of years before the start of my fitness journey. The picture on the right shows what correct and sustainable nutrition with the right kind of training for your goals can do - for me that was gaining healthy weight in the form of lean muscle with a small increase in healthy body fat. The picture on the right was taken last Nov (after approx. 1 year of consistent proper nutrition and weight training - starting out at 51kgs) and since then I have gone up to 58.6kgs which is just in the 'healthy weight range'. While I don't like to concentrate too much on the number on the scale sometimes it’s important, so I don't fall too far the opposite way again! But I am still a work in progress, ideally for my height I want to be sitting around 60-62kgs - this is my next goal but I'm in no rush. For me it’s about having a maintainable lifestyle that I enjoy while reaching my goals. I got these results with the help of the best personal trainer in WA - Mr Shayne Smith of The Liftlab. Yes, even a trainer needs a trainer!! A PT will push you further than you would ever push yourself in a gym session and with proper nutritional guidance and somebody to be accountable to it helps keep you on track to get you where you want to be. I am forever thankful for all the information and guidance Shayne showed me during my time in WA and thanks to his beautiful girlfriend for keeping my nutrition on track. An unstoppable team!

I decided I wanted to start personal training again after having 2 small kids. I wanted to do something for myself again and loose weight and tone up. My first session with Jess was great, she knew my goals and gave me a food plan that was easy to follow and suited my lifestyle.

After training for about 5 months I have lost a significant about of body fat and have changed my body shape completely. Jess has an amazing amount of knowledge about nutrition and exercise and pushes me to get amazing results. Not only is Jess an amazing personal trainer but she is so lovely to deal with. All the trainers at The Liftlab are awesome and I regularly recommended them to all my friends.
