SIMON LE | COACH & ATHLETE
Tailored one-on-one and group personal training in Canberra City for weight loss, strength, injury rehab, and fitness
TESTIMONIALS
Simply put, you’re an amazing person and PT!
I remember back in 2018 (almost 8 years now!) when I first walked into Elements Fitness, completely unsure of myself and didn’t know what to expect honestly…
Back then I was a skinny underweight guy, who lived off Maccas daily, and didn’t have a lot of confidence. Since then, you’ve helped me build confidence, strength and a commitment to be healthier.
I genuinely love and look forward to the training sessions we have, even on the worst of weeks.
In a boring and sometimes highly stressful public service job, our training is an unwind and reset to get me through the rest of the week, essentially preparing me for battle.
One of the best things about training with you is that during lockdown, I was able to still get out and about, chat and socialise for that brief moment outside, that really helped me keep sane.
You’ve always been patient, non-judgemental and caring during our training sessions, and constantly pushed me to challenge myself beyond where I would ordinarily quit. You’ve helped me build a healthier lifestyle and a commitment to routine, even if it’s taken many years to get to this point.
I could not be any happier and hope that it feels just as rewarding for you as it does for me. You keep the training fresh and interesting and always tailor it to my needs, plus I do enjoy our chats as well and hearing about all your life changes and successes. Anyone who has the privilege to train with you is a lucky person!
I’m amazed it’s only been 10 years since you started alone, it never felt like you were unsure or uncertain at any point, rather this was your natural calling.
People who have trained with you or worked with you always speak highly of you. It’s a credit to your dedication and passion. Congrats on your 10-year PT anniversary!

I have worked with Simon since 2020, and I cannot say enough positive things about him as a personal trainer.
He is very knowledgeable about physiology and fitness, and he always explains the ‘why’ behind the exercises he programs, which helps me understand my body and the progress I am making.
His feedback and notes are always perceptive and precise– he knows exactly what to suggest to help me improve my form or work harder. Simon knows how to motivate me and set the right tone and energy for every session.
He is genuinely interested, kind, consistent and supportive, as well as being a super nice, funny and lovely to talk to.
Congratulations, Simon, on a decade of working as a personal trainer! I feel super lucky to have the opportunity to work with you.

I had the privilege of training under Simon Le for a couple of years before moving to Perth, and I can honestly say it was one of the most impactful experiences of my fitness journey.
During that time, I was also training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu alongside Simon, and he played a crucial role in improving my strength, conditioning, and mobility for the sport.
When I first started strength training, my primary goal was to get strong. I had no prior experience, didn’t know how to lift with proper form, or even where my current strength levels stood. Simon’s coaching was exactly what I needed.
His approach to strength training was always tailored to my individual needs and goals, pushing me to new limits while ensuring I maintained proper form and technique.
He also helped me significantly with my mobility, addressing areas of stiffness and imbalance that were limiting my movement.
Thanks to Simon's expert guidance, I was able to perform better both in my daily activities and on the mats, achieving a new level of strength and mobility.
The combination of strength training, mobility work, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Simon's coaching helped me build a solid foundation that I still rely on as I continue to make progress in powerlifting.
Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting out, I highly recommend working with Simon. His knowledge, dedication, and personalised approach to training were key in helping me reach my goals.

Got specific training goals? Simon’s the Personal Trainer of your dreams.
Don’t really have specific goals in mind BUT know you need some advice and guidance on what you could focus on? Again, Simon’s your man.
Need a Marvel or Star Wars debrief or review, again…Simon.
Years ago if you had asked if I would ever think about seeing a Personal Trainer, I would have laughed in your face. I was pretty happy to eat humble pie when I started to train with Simon.
Simon came highly recommended as a non-yelly trainer. I completely agree with this statement, he knows when to push you a little bit further, even when you don’t think you could, in the most calm and positive way. It would be such an annoying trait if he wasn’t such a champion of a human.
I never understood the impact a personal trainer could have on my physical and mental health journey. As someone living with anxiety and depression, I found it super challenging to motivate myself even get into a gym. Even when I got there my anxiety would kick in. Training with Simon definitely gave me the confidence that I had lacked, leading me to realise I was training for me and my health.
Simon taught me the importance of taking the time to get the right technique so I was lifting weights a lot heavier than I thought I ever could. His focus on functional fitness helped me learn to respect my body for the amazing things that it can do, along with discovering new stretches to help with my form and wake up my lazy office worker muscles to get ready to work.
Another bonus to recommend him is he never made me do a burpee, he’s good like that. If you want to challenge yourself, need a new Obi Wan Kenobi or want to get your training started on the right track, then do yourself (and your body) a favour and get in touch with Simon.

What makes Simon good is the experience and depth he draws upon to deliver high quality personal training sessions. He fosters a strong relationship with his clients through his manner and skill at translating the content of discussions and observations into your training needs.
His intelligence, adaptability and communication style fosters a safe, focused environment to work towards shared goals.
You can't beat face-to-face sessions with an articulate, experienced trainer. Someone who will help navigate your contraints (what ever they may be), challenge you in interesting ways and work with in healthy levels of discomfort.
#BetweenTheLines - All this is code for saying, they guys rocks and you should just call already.

Here's what one of my handstand workshop attendees had to say:
On Saturday I attended the FUNC Gymnastics Workshop, and can I say that it is up there with one of the highest standard workshops I have attended. Simon, you have so much skill, knowledge and passion about your craft. You held a workshop that was engaging, interesting, inclusive and encouraging for each of our individual abilities.
As I approach the fine vintage of 40 … hmm my secret’s out :) I have been setting a few ‘life goals’ – one these has fired a keen interest in body weight strength and control, very much driven by my unfulfilled childhood dream to finally pull off a freehold handstand.
During the hours we spent with you (Simon) we worked through various warm ups, movements and techniques and that were both challenging and a whole lot of fun, although the following day my upper body was arguing the fun part J! I walked away on Saturday spirited with enough enthusiasm, the right tools and technical information to continue my journey and one day soon ’tick off’ one or two of my goals.
It honestly never ceases to amaze me that some of the best ‘game changing’ experiences are often where you least expect them.
Thank you for your guidance.
Melissa
