I started working with Jewelz and her team at Tighten Up in January 2021 and their expertise, professionalism, patience and positivity have helped me through Melbourne's endless lockdown. I was a complete novice but Kavisha and Phuong have been amazingly supportive and welcoming. Tighten Up has such a wonderful feeling of family and I have really missed this connection throughout lockdown.
As for the results: I'm over the moon with my progress and feel fitter, leaner and stronger than I have for 25 years. They know their stuff and how to look after oldies like me! Thanks Guys!

I hate exercise. But I love going to Tighten Up! The staff are ultra friendly, attentive and professional and I feel taken care of. And I like the small group classes as a compromise between one on one training and large classes. These people make going to an exercise class fun for me, and believe me, that is a major achievement and is definitely worth five stars.

I started with Tighten Up in Oct 2020. Initially started so I could lose some kilos to fit into a bridesmaid dress (which I wore and felt fabulous in 3 months after starting!). Jewelz and Kavisha are so knowledgeable!! They give me so much variety in my workouts and help me stay on track to achieve achieve my fitness goals (100kg deadlift, chin ups, weight loss). They’ve also been a big source of support during Covid. Keeping the workouts going and always up for a chat. Since joining Tighten Up I definitely feel more me again!! So much stronger both mentally and physically.

I was trepidatious about returning to exercise after a three year hiatus. However, after spending one hour at Tighten Up, I knew it was going to be the place for me😊 Jewelz and her team made the transition back to exercise seamless, and most importantly fun! The workouts are always diverse and the community is really supportive/encouraging. Jewelz really goes above and beyond for her clients; continuously checking in and ensuring you’re staying on track to achieve your goals. If you want to feel like a valued member of the community, then Tighten Up is the place for you.
Thank you, Jewelz

This place is fantastic.
Professional staff who know how to push you just hard enough. Varied workouts to keep things interesting. And a friendly and relaxed vibe.
I'd spent five years without a regular gym as I couldn't find one that I liked enough. Jewelz and her team have helped me get back into regular exercise and restored my previous level of fitness.
Highly, highly recommended.

Tighten Up fitness is like no other ‘gym’ I have been to before, as it’s not. This studio is a community with professionals running the show. I have been attending here for over 4 years frequently and am still pushed and challenged in my workouts. The physical strength I have gained is something I never thought would ever be possible.
The team here are experienced, engaging and very friendly. It’s like be part of the family. The studio is beautifully fitted out with all the modern equipment with regular scans and checks to keep you on your targets. I have moved house since I first joined

Positive: Communication
Julie and the team are helpful in providing good quality coaching both in the gym and on the occasions via video conferencing - for in home workouts. The current pandemic has not been easy, and they have accommodated the changes in schedule well.

I am 47 and in IT. I spend most of my days sitting at a desk not terribly mobile and I just felt I needed to do something to get moving. I am not good at motivating myself and needed help to just get more active. I could not get far to train so I had to have an online option that would allow me to do a workout and still get to work on time.
I started with Tighten up fitness online once a week through a zoom call and I am feeling much better. Just getting more active with Tighten Up gave me confidence to do more work on my own. I also was motivated to start eating better and making healthier choices

Jewelz is so much more than just a personal trainer, she genuinely becomes a friend and family. She cares about what is going on in your personal life and works with you to figure out what suits you best. I literally looked the best I ever have and was in the best shape ever whilst going to training at Tighten Up. The other PTs also become your friends and it’s a real friendship. Jewelz is as invested in your goals as you are and pushes you to be the best version of yourself.

5 stars Absolutely love Tighten Up!!! The workouts are awesome and the instructors always provide easier and harder options to cater for all levels of fitness. It feels like a very personal workout on Zoom as the instructors can see your form etc and make corrections where necessary. The Tighten Up community is awesomely friendly and united, even though most of us haven’t physically met. Tighten Up via Zoom is seriously the only thing which has kept my fitness going through the Covid lockdown! I really look forward to my workouts... best home workouts ever!

As an overweight, out of condition, mature age female, I knew I had to do something about my lifestyle and was so happy to find Tighten Up to help me on my journey to better health and fitness. I’ve been coming to see the wonderful Jewelz and the team for over a year now and am really feeling better for it. The studio has gone through a fantastic transformation recently and is bright and fresh with new equipment. Each session starts with a chat and health check to ensure that the exercises planned will be suitable. I love the fact that every session is different in terms of activities and adaptive

Best trainer I've ever had! For me, a great trainer can work in with how your body is feeling, so any little niggles are looked after, you have a great workout and you feel better when you leave then before you started. Oh and she's great fun too.
