What clients say about personal training with Brendan at REP66 Pakenham

Julian Giannetti

Update (Aug 26): For over 4 months now, I've trained with Brendan twice a week and continue to see and feel the benefits, down almost 20 kg while building muscle and improving my cardio fitness. I can't remember the last time I was at this weight or felt this healthy. It has been a true team effort, and I really appreciate the knowledge and support Brendan has provided throughout the journey. Been training with Brendan 1:1 for a few weeks now. I had very limited gym experience and Brendan has quickly provided me with the confidence to achieve my goals. He is a very knowledgable, personable and skilled trainer who I have built trust with over a short period of time. The variety of equipment available and technique allows his sessions to be tailored specifically for the individual. I am excited to see what I can accomplish with Brendan's support.

Started with Brendan at REP66 back in August 2025 and it's honestly been one of the best decisions I've made for myself. I've dropped a noticeable amount of weight while putting on muscle and getting genuinely stronger, which I didn't think was possible at the same time. I'm a tradesman so my days are flat out, and a tight schedule matters to me. The 1 on 1 personal training sessions slot in without disrupting anything, and these days they're a highlight of my week. There's something about walking in and just being told what to do. I get to switch my brain off from making decisions for an hour and focus on actually performing. Brendan's approach is small, sustainable changes over time, not some quick-fix nonsense. He's taught me a heap about how the body works and we keep going deeper as we go. The result is something I can actually keep doing for the long haul. It's a premium service and the price reflects that, but the cost of neglecting my health would be a hell of a lot higher than what I'm putting into it. I also like that REP66 is a local Pakenham small business, and being just down the road makes it easy to keep showing up. If you're looking for a personal trainer in Pakenham or the surrounding suburbs, I'd recommend Brendan and REP66 without hesitation.

Cannot recommend Brendan at REP66 enough! I've been working with him for close to 5 years now and he has taken me from an absolute newbie with very little knowledge in the gym to a national level power lifter! What sets Brendan apart is his willingness to listen and learn from his clients i.e what they like and dislike within exercise. For years and to this day I hate mountain climbers, he will never program them for me or if there is something in my training that isn't working or I don't like he will be more than willing to change it to something else. He also won't pressure you to change things if you aren't ready example any eating habits. He will not press that you need to eat this or that food unless you ask and he is prompted to give his advice. He is always adapting his practice and learning more. Different modifications for exercises or different techniques to get the best out of his clients. He is able to work with and around any injuries that arise, even when the arise during training. He has an amazing wealth and breadth of knowledge and cannot recommend him and his services enough! 1000000/10 would recommend!

I came across Brendan from Rep66 when I was looking for a PT in my area. His studio was easy to get to, which is a plus for me having limited mobility. His knowledge on muscle groups and focus on form is just what I was looking for to regain my strength. I didn't just want to train for fitness I wanted to build muscle. I've had an amazing experience training with Brendan. He is incredibly knowledgeable, motivating and genuinely invested in helping me achieve my goals. Every session is challenging, well planned and tailored to my fitness level. He always takes the time to make sure my technique is correct, so I can better achieve my goals. He has kept me motivated and consistently improving. He makes me want to train every day if I could. He is the most knowledgeable trainer I have ever worked with over 20yrs of attending gyms. I strongly recommend Brendan to anyone who is looking for a supportive, professional, and results-driven personal trainer.

Brendan is an amazing PT. He has taken me from a total n00b to having successfully completed 2 powerlifting competitions. He is knowledgeable and flexible enough to have helped me around various injuries and really listens to my goals. Could not recommend more highly!

Amy Macdonald

★★★★★ Google review

Couldn't recommend Brendan more. He has an incredible understanding of muscle anatomy and how the body actually works, and you can really tell the difference in the way he programs sessions. Every exercise is tailored to what you're trying to improve and your performance goals. I went to him with a pull-ups goal but have had so many setbacks with pregnancy, surgery etc and he's adapted my plan and kept me strong (and sane). He's amazing at explaining why you're doing certain movements, which has improved my technique. He's really attentive to form and always tweaks exercises to make sure you're getting the most out of them. On top of that, he's genuinely funny and entertaining, which makes sessions something I actually look forward to. My hour a week is the highlight of my week. 100% recommend.

Excellent personal trainer who is dedicated and committed to your personal growth. I have been training with Brendan from rep66 in Pakenham for almost 5 years now and have seen a massive personal transformation and still more to go. Brendan is knowledgeable, professional and motivating and definitely worth the 45 min drive each way to see him twice a week!

I've been working with Brendan at his private studio for 5 years, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the clean, inviting space that's designed specifically for one-on-one training. The privacy and focus of a personal studio setting have made all the difference. Brendan brings an unmatched level of expertise, tailoring every workout to my unique goals and needs. He is always prepared with fresh, challenging routines that keep me engaged and motivated, pushing me to new levels of fitness. The one-on-one attention I receive in the private studio means every detail is attended to, from my form to the pace of each exercise, ensuring I'm working safely and effectively. What stands out the most is Brendan's dedication to my progress. They take the time to understand my personal goals and continuously adjust my plan to ensure that I'm always moving forward. There's never any rush, just a focus on quality and results. The private studio environment also allows for a level of comfort and confidentiality that's hard to beat. I feel completely at ease and supported, knowing that every session is designed just for me. Additionally, Brendan has provided helpful advice on nutrition, recovery, and lifestyle habits, further enhancing my overall wellness. If you're looking for a top-tier personal trainer who offers a personalized approach in a private, professional setting, I can't recommend Brendan enough. It's clear they are genuinely invested in helping their clients succeed, and their passion for fitness is contagious. Working with him has been a game-changer in my fitness journey!

As an elite masters cycling athlete, finding a coach who understands high-level performance is rare. Brendan from Rep 66 is by far the most passionate personal trainer I've worked with. His expertise in fueling, recovery, and hydration strategies has been a game-changer for my performance. Whether it's through online coaching, intensive face-to-face sessions, or tailored home garage workouts, his knowledge covers every area of athletic success. If you are looking for the best performance coaching in Pakenham, Brendan is the top choice.

I love my biweekly one hour sessions with Brendan. Since starting with him over two years ago I have dropped at least 15 kgs and am now a lot healthier and stronger. He has a great sense of humour and really pushes me to continue my fitness and health journey. He is also a trainer who walks the walk in terms of his personal fitness and nutritional approach as evidenced by his strong and muscular physique (which is very inspiring). I wholeheartedly recommend Brendan as an excellent PT and urge you to take the first step in achieving your health and fitness goals.

Brendan is an absolute expert in his field. He takes you through every exercise in detail and explains not just what you're doing, but the science behind movement and anatomy as well. You can tell he genuinely cares about getting it right. Even if we go over time, Brendan never rushes and always puts in the extra effort. Worth every dollar.

I've been doing personal training with Brendan for over five years. Brendan is an excellent personal trainer whom I've learnt a lot from. I've gone from struggling to use proper form to over 100kg deadlifts. Which would have taken a lot longer, if it were to happen at all, without Brendon.

A few years ago, I reached out to Brendan to become my personal trainer, I started with very little gym knowledge, and it has honestly been a life changing experience. Brendan not only helped me gain confidence in the gym but also reignited my passion for fitness. His expertise, ongoing encouragement, and dedication to my growth have been outstanding. I feel stronger and more confident than ever before. Throughout my journey, I've continued to check in with him for feedback, support, and advice on how to further improve and build on my progress. I highly recommend Brendan!

I've been attending Brendan since June 2023 and can't recommend him highly enough. Brendan has provided me with the knowledge and motivated me in making progress towards my goals. Sessions with Brendan are focused and targeted. I've been very happy with the progress made to date and certainly couldn't have done it with Brendan's expertise and guidance.

Brendan has been amazing, he has taught our son technique and nutrition and all the building blocks that a young man needs to get the knowledge to look after their body. 5 stars from us.

Brent Robbins

★★★★★ Google review

I've been training with Brendan from Rep 66 and have been really impressed with his approach. I went to him to build more muscle and strength for my recreational kayak fishing, and he immediately understood what I needed. From our very first session, Brandon already had a clear plan of attack tailored to my goals. He's extremely knowledgeable about strength training and nutrition, and he shares plenty of useful tips and tricks along the way. I'd definitely recommend Brandon to anyone looking to get stronger or better themselves.

Learn the lifts every good gym is built on

Walking into a gym and not knowing where to start is the most common thing I hear. I teach beginners the fundamental exercises with barbells, dumbbells and cables, the equipment you'll find in every good gym in the world. Learn them properly once and they're skills for life, wherever you end up training.

Strength, muscle tone and size. Built steadily with lifts you understand and can repeat for years.

Bone health. Lifting is one of the best things you can do for strong bones as you age.

How your body works. I teach the anatomy and physiology behind each exercise, so you know what's working and why.

How programming works. Sets, reps, load and progression explained, so you understand the process and can keep going on your own.

Your coach, Brendan Burchall
