The Gelbarts Gym Team – “We are expert, career trainers & lead by example by living the personal trainer’s life”
At Gelbarts Gym, we only employ Certificate 3 & 4 Certified Career Trainers who also perform further specific training in order to meet Gelbarts Gym requirements. We understand the disappointing experience of training with substandard trainers so we guarantee that your trainer will passionately focus on your goals, technique, intensity & detail in every session. Our trainers are also registered with Fitness Australia, hold a Working With Children Certificate and First Aid Certificate.
