I live a fairly hectic lifestyle & am on the go & on my feet up to 12 hours some days managing a team of 14 stylists in a busy salon.

At 55 I just knew if I didn’t do something to improve my fitness & mobility neither my health or my body were going to cope with that pace much longer & that just wasn’t an option for me!!

Starting PT with Taine was exactly what I was looking for, she understood me & my lifestyle but also my fears of “joining a gym” at my age.. it was then & is still now two years down the track the best thing I have ever done for me!

I am fitter & more flexible than I’ve been in many years & it has been a complete game changer for me.

Myself and my team now do online Zoom sessions with Taine before we start our hectic work days.Great for team bonding and a great way to start your day.

DIMATTIA & Co.

I have been training with Taine for almost 2 years.

I consider myself a more complex client as I have had broken vertebrae and a shoulder reconstruction in the past.I also have fibromyalgia and Knee cartilage damage.

Despite this, Taine has always found a way to program and train both challenging and smart.

This has prevented further injuries and I am stronger, fitter and more mobile. I’ve never been made to feel like fitness is impossible and Taine has been encouraging and supportive of my journey.

The online training sessions have been super helpful. I travel a lot for work and it allows me to train from wherever I am and to maintain my routine.

Gym or no gym. Importantly the workouts are never boring!

If you are after a knowledgeable trainer who offers varied personalised programs than I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Taine.

I have been training with Taine since July 2022 and have been amazed at my results. I chose to do the Nutrition Challenge and this has taught me how to eat properly and how to sustain a healthy way of living in the simplest terms. I have a new approach to food and it is so easy to maintain. I have lost over 50cm off my measurements so far.

I train online with Taine twice a week as I live in Toowoomba.

The training sessions are always varied and extremely challenging. Taine ensures that I do everything with correct technique, and this has revolutionised my training. I feel stronger and more toned.

I would recommend Taine to anyone looking for a trainer that takes great care to look after your individual needs and to really walk beside you to help you achieve your goals.

Having a physical job and doing years worth of weights training I had reached a point where I no longer felt challenged for all my efforts. I also had lower back issues that restricted both work and training abilities.  

This all changed when I started the hunted program with Sam. 

The hunted program has restructured the way I approach training, mobility and overall energy levels in daily life. 

Sam's focus on educating all clients through functional movements has rewired the way I train and carry out tasks at work.  

I no longer have lower back pain and have got my passion back for training. I am now competing in crossfit events and track my progress in between through the hunted program.

Sam has taken my confidence in my ability to push myself in my workouts to the next level.   I always wanted to try crossfit but never had the courage.   Since training with Sam, he has encouraged me in a very caring and supportive way and has shown me that I am capable of achieving more in my fitness goals.   He is always there to support and encourage and expects nothing in return.  He is passionate about seeing people achieve their goals.    It is clear than training people is not just a job to Sam.  He is truly passionate about what he does and seeing people achieve things they never thought they were capable of doing.

I cannot recommend Coach Sam and the Hunted programming enough. I've been educated, corrected, supported, encouraged, and pushed in my training. Sam made me believe I could achieve much more than I thought possible. From general strength and fitness gains, to competing in my first (and now up to my 5th!) CrossFit competition, as well as injury recovery and prevention, Sam is always trying to help his athletes be better in as many ways possible. This is the guy you want in your corner!

Training with Sam has completely changed how I feel about training. It has become a non-negotiable in my routine. 

I've done bits and pieces over the years but have never trained consistently until now. I'm nowhere near as fit as other people in Sam's team but his manner has always made me feel equal. He is consistently calm, encouraging, and every workout is different.  My favourite thing about training with Sam is that he has found the balance between setting high expectations and making me believe in myself without applying too much pressure. 

I started off having no idea how to execute many of the moves and hardly able to complete a running lap and somehow now I'm training for a comp, yikes!
