Driving Fitness

Very badly want to give a zero. Had my worst experience in my life with this "physiotherapist" Mark Anile. Been seeing him for a while and i am so upset to say he compromised a surgery on my right shoulder by doing an unnecessary high intensity massage within 5 weeks of my surgery. I was absolutely pain-free and i went to him just for rehabilitation but for no reason he performed a high voltage massage. There was absolutely no need for a massage. He should have just devised an exercise schedule for me but he was in his own world and doesn't have a single clue on what he is doing. I am 100% convinced

Friendly, professional, personal and dedicated. The best value CrossFit gym in Melbourne. If you’re looking to get fit in a great, positive environment, CrossFit Essendon is for you.

Owner decided to ban me and my friend due to covid fears and his personal relationship with a different member. Appears to be deeply unprofessional given my negative test results supplied. Would not recommend anyone attends such an unprofessional gym given the owner's discriminatory policies.

CrossFit Essendon is an amazing place to train. It is an exceptionally friendly and an encouraging environment. Expert trainers always critiquing the members from beginners to advanced.

Mark and all the coaches are amazing. The vibe here is like no other gym I’ve experienced. Feels amazing to be welcomed into such a great, supportive community. Work outs are challenging but with constant motivation from other members and coaches is unreal. So happy to have found CrossFit Essendon!

CrossFit Essendon have incredible coaching and a team culture that is friendly and fun. Thanks to everyone in the box, I’ll see you again.

I was very lucky to be referred to Mark when I was struggling with back and hip pain. He worked with me to develop a targeted exercise program which has gradually enabled me to run again. Thank you, Mark, for helping me achieve my goals. Your friendly, knowledgeable and motivating attitude is very much appreciated. I highly recommend Driving Fitness Physiotherapy.

I recently experienced a lower back strain via a workout gone wrong; I contacted Driving Fitness who, through their multiple locations, were able to accommodate me almost immediately! Mark was very professional, and provided effective treatment as well as a clear, concise and effective exercises schedule to assist my treatment and recovery...I was soon back up and running and recommend them highly!

I got referred to Driving Fitness Physio by my doctor after a muscle injury to my wrist due to work/study. Upon initial consultation, Mark (physiotherapist) was professional, friendly and able to identify which muscles were injured and how long recovery would take. During the sessions Mark was able to explain each exercise, its purpose and how it will aid in my recovery - this was extremely helpful as it also allowed me to be informed and educated about my condition.
I would recommend Driving Fitness Physio as an excellent place for physiotherapy related conditions as they are very helpful, professional

Really happy with the level of care at Driving Fitness. I've been attending sessions to work on an ongoing knee problem. Mark has worked with me to develop a plan for my training which actually works because it's so tailored to my normal routine. Having visited a few physios in the past, this is one I would highly recommend.

I have been going to Driving Fitness for a bad ankle injury that has been giving me problems for some time now. Mark was able to provide exercises and muscle therapy to overcome this long term injury. Good work all round

This CrossFit class is a great way to build confidence in yourself. Build on your strength and fitness. The instructors are very knowledgeable and patient in assisting you with correcting your techniques. All members are very friendly and easy going and make you feel very welcomed. All levels of fitness are welcomed to this class. Highly recommend. xx

Mark from Driving Fitness Physiotherapy has been great. Not only has he been able to rectify the issue with my neck, but he's also given me a number of exercises to ensure that the issue is managed long term.

I had an appointment with Mark from Driving Fitness to have a look at my shoulder. He investigated my shoulder thoroughly and helped develop some exercises to help alleviate the soreness. Since then my shoulder has been much better and I have Mark to thank for that!

I started coming here in Winter last year because I prefer the environment in group exercise classes. Crossfit Essendon didn’t disappoint. It’s a great atmosphere where everyone is welcoming and supportive and all the trainers are there to help you reach your fitness goals. Lastly, because Mark is a physio one of the key things he and the trainers do is to always ensure that your technique is correct and that everything is done safely to prevent injury.

I've been training with CrossFit Essendon for around 2 years. It's been the best change I've made to my fitness and health routine. Not only are the group training sessions fun and challenging, but Mark and the team also have a wealth of knowledge regarding nutrition and healthy lifestyle living. My strength and fitness levels continue to improve every week and looking forward to improving even further! Thanks Mark and the team!
