Dave Gelbart began Gelbarts Gym in 1998 as a self made, 21 year old graduate, after completing his Applied Science Degree in Human Movement / Physical Education at Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia. A former athlete in multiple sports and a father of 4 children, Dave’s second family is his expert team of carefully selected Personal Trainers.
Together, Dave and his Team create a warm, caring & nurturing feeling in the gym where every client feels at home and comfortable to talk with any other client at any time.
Gelbarts’ Trainers feel their most important obligation is to help clients become the best version of themselves possible so that they can be a positive influence on the important people in their lives. Your overall health is Gelbarts’ priority & your trainer will help you achieve better health by improving you fitness, power, energy & dietary habits.
The Gelbarts Gym Team understand that large membership gyms and “military style trainers” can leave you feeling lost, confused, intimidated, injured & unmotivated. Gelbarts Gym is specifically designed for “non – gym” people so clients can train in a private, intimate & comfortable environment, therefore being more likely to continue with training.
This simple training phylosophy is practiced everyday at Gelbarts Gym:
- specific to clients’ goals
- accurate in intensity
- expert in correct technique
And like everything else in life…..“its all in the detail”.
