I have always been active and thought my fitness level was adequate. My opinion soon changed after signing up for the Oxygen Boot Camp. Thanks to Dave and his fantastic team I achieved a new level of fitness and surprised myself with my new found strength and stamina. Through the Oxygen team’s encouragement and guidance, and with a good dose of laughter and banter thrown in, I found it was no effort to get out of bed and make the trip to one of the most beautiful outdoor fitness venues around. Some people think that having to exercise at 6am is just too hard, so did I. It wasn’t long before I looked forward to that 20 minute trip, joining my new friends in an energetic workout and feeling like I have achieved.

When friends say to me that they aren’t fit enough to join I tell them that’s the whole idea of talking to Dave Lambert and his crew at Oxygen. They cater for everyone and every level of fitness. I’m a shift worker who works 12hr shifts, a reformed heavy smoker, a family man and seeing the other side of 50 years young. Since doing the boot camp I achieved my goal of losing inches, gaining muscle and feeling the best I have in a long time. I have now discovered a love for running and have more energy.

I could easily have joined the countless Outdoor Training Groups that are closer to where I live, Wollongong, Shellharbour or even local gyms but am so lucky to have been introduced to Dave and Oxygen.

The other positive side of Oxygen is the domino effect it has had on the rest of my family. We have found that making exercise a part of our lives isn’t the chore we thought it would have been.

I really can’t recommend Oxygen highly enough. You won’t find a more friendly, encouraging and entertaining group. Their professionalism is of the highest standard and it’s a great feeling knowing they are there for you every step of the way. For anyone wanting to improve their health and have fun doing it Oxygen is definitely the way to go. Thanks so much Team Oxygen!

Over the years I have been to a number of gyms, and at one I was lucky enough to meet Dave Lambert.

I hadn’t been training for some time and was looking for something different that would keep me interested and motivated.  From the first consultation with Dave we set out the goals I wanted to achieve and he explained the various training packages available.

I chose a personal training package which also included the opportunity to participate in group classes for FREE.  The P.T sessions are varied and with Dave’s positive attitude to training and his encouragement I am achieving my goals.

Even though I live in the Wollongong area, I thoroughly enjoy training in Kiama and participate in a variety of group classes.  Dave has established a wonderful environment where we can exercise and also have fun. I have made new friends and find all the trainers friendly and helpful.

Training outdoors and in all weather conditions, surrounded by mountains and the sea is an added bonus.

I look forward to continuing my training with Dave and Oxygen, and improving my health and fitness.

Peer group pressure led me to Oxygen Health & Fitness.  As a person, who was accustomed to regular exercise, I failed to see the purpose in attending an extra weekly session to prepare me for the hockey season.  However, when the rest of my hockey team signed up I felt the pressure to join in and with great reluctance turned up to the first session.

It was very intense from the outset and as the sweat poured off me I silently cursed my team mates. Nobody was more surprised than me when I signed up for the second 4 week period…….with enthusiasm.

The encouragement, personal attention and wide variety of drills spurred me on to attempt and achieve things beyond my expectations, things I would have considered myself too old to do.  I now firmly believe my body is far more capable of doing things than I initially thought.

I would never have attempted interval runs or hill runs, but now do them with Dave and regularly with friends between sessions.  I have to admit doing the workouts with team mates adds to the sessions fun and having a few laughs with them and Dave certainly makes the hour fly!

As a 44 year old mum with 4 teenagers, all I can say is….. “if I can do it, you can too!”

They came in all shapes and sizes.  I was particularly worried by the ‘brides to be’ who were enrolled next to me, and I was over 50 years!  How was this going to satisfy all our needs in just 4 short weeks with such a diverse group?

Solution – the professional staff at Oxygen Health & Fitness set different goals for levels of fitness to ALL COMERS!

While improving my health and fitness level, I only jogged, stretched, did strength and boxed that would extend me. As a new comer to town I loved meeting/networking with new people, both old and young, who were also setting new goals like myself.

I loved being outdoors (and not in a smelly gym) to watch the sunrise while I got into shape.

Result – I have lost kilos and waist measurement and I feel better and more fit and healthy.

The encouragement all participants received was so encouraging and individual programmes to meet everyone’s goals were certainly on Oxygen’s agenda.

Every session was different, well thought out and most professionally prepared and organised.

I have now been training with Dave Lambert for 6 years. I can well remember the first P.O.W session went for 4 weeks Sept 2003. After that I realized I needed some personal training to really improve my fitness and get some variety into my workouts.

I spent some years with Dave doing three PT sessions a week, and occasional P.O.W blocks. After a while I began to really enjoy the outdoor sessions more & more. After that I made a switch from mainly gym work to mainly outdoors, and was doing continuous P.O.W a couple of days each week. By this time P.O.W would run for 6 weeks at a time.

About 2 years ago I finished at the gym completely. I heard of P.O.W’s intention to join forces with Savvy and was happy to join the new group. Signing- up for unlimited sessions a week I have really enjoyed this past year, usually attending 5 morning sessions a week.

I have gone from mainly one-on-one with Dave, to group training and am having fun with the people we train with. I like the outdoors, the variety in the sessions and I appreciate all the extra work put into the special activities like the Road trip, and Olympics week.

I have really improved my fitness in this last year, I have surprised myself with my running which was something I was reluctant to do not long ago. So, 6 years later – still having fun, enjoying the training, enjoying the group, and getting ready for another great year. Thanks Dave for your help and encouragement and helping me keep fit and keen.
