Q&A with Personal Trainer Matt

Personal Trainer Matthew Hilliar

Q: What can you offer your clients?

A: I teach my clients as I train them. After their first session, they would have learned a lot and will have a greater understanding on how their body works.

This will help clients reach their end goal. I may make the exercise ten times harder but I’m giving you 10 times the results by doing that.

I will change the way they think - to a smarter and realistic approach and that’s half the battle won. I will help you think you can do it.

Eliminating negativity and getting rid of bad habits is my first focus. You are in great care with me. I respect my clients with upmost importance.

If you’re feeling down I will cheer you up, if you’re not motivated, I will inspire you. All of that is part of my job as your personal trainer, otherwise it wouldn’t be personal. The most important thing is that you have fun while getting results and live life to your best potential.

Do YOU Need a Personal Trainer?

Do I really need a personal trainer? Yes you do!

As a personal trainer, I’ve realised a few things over the years. First, many people are afraid of personal trainers. I don’t blame them, considering some of the things I make my clients do. Wait, did I just say that?

Most people have no idea what they’re in for the first time they work with a trainer. They may wonder: Will she/he make me do crazy exercises? What if I can’t do them? What if they hurt? What if I make a fool of myself?

Another issue people have with trainers is, of course, the money. Paying for an hour of exercise doesn’t seem to make as much sense as, say, paying for an hour of deep tissue massage.

Any trainer would tell you that you get much more than just an hour (or several hours) of exercise, something to consider if you’re hard at work on your new year’s resolutions.

If you’re not seeing results, you don’t know where to start or your own program seems to be missing something, maybe it’s time for some expert advice.

At DHP, our trainers can advise you on how you can achieve your goals - contact us today!

Hi, my name is Chloe Haworth and I’m here to change your life. At 21 years old i have studied both my Certificate III and IV in Fitness and have loved every minute of it. I have been actively involved in many sports throughout my life. Since the age of 3, I competed in Figure Ice-skating which is where I found my love for dance and performing. I took on Jazz, Disco and Rock “n” Roll dancing which is where my love for fitness began, not long after I started playing football (soccer).

Since starting working in the fitness industry I have never looked back and I am always eager and determined to learn more about the industry.

I believe I am a happy, motivating, inspirational trainer with a bubbly personality. Together WE WILL turn your negatitives into POSITIVES. I train in weight loss, toning and general fitness. It is my goal to; guide, educate and motivate my clients to live a healthier lifestyle. Not only for themselves, but for their family. Exercise is an important way of life and should be added into our busy lives whether it is just for half an hour. I will work with you to help you create health and wellness in all aspects of your life.

Not only do I coach clients, I also teach group fitness classes. I love the enjoyment you get out of them and I love seeing the improvements in strength and in fitness!

In seeking happiness for others, you need to find it in yourself. So why not make a healthy decision and get started with personal training, you never know until you’ve tried it!

Member Story - Anthony

Anthony before starting at Dolphins Health Precinct
and training with Teneka

We love receiving and hearing about DHP Member stories, and we love passing them on to our Members. This is important as everyone is on a different pathway in their pursuit of health and fitness, but we all have one thing in common - Dolphins Health Precinct. The following story is from Anthony and is very inspiring, hopefully it inspires someone else and shows determination and consistency really do pay off.

In Anthony's words:

"I am Teneka's client, my name is Anthony Arden, I am 41 years old, 6ft tall, browny eyes. I used to be 110kgs, I used very fat indeed, I had a 44 inch waist, so last year I decided to lose weight. On January 10th 2012, I joined your gym (Dolphins Health Precinct), I was told to lose weight by my doctor, I was headed towards getting diabetes, so I bit the bullet, so on January 10th, Carlos showed me around the gym and i decided to join, I signed up for 12 months and three months of personel training with Teneka. I decided to that it was to show my Mum the new me when she came to see me in September and she was amazed when she saw me in Singapore! 

The first few months I went everyday Monday to Friday, and in 3 months I had lost nearly 5 kgs. Teneka was very good, and so far in 12 months I have lost 18kgs. I want to lose another 2 kgs and will be very happy indeed. I am now a 36 inch waist, my wife is so happy for me as well."

Well done Anthony from all the team at DHP!

NEW Personal Trainer for DHP

DOLPHINS forward Tom Murphy practises what he preaches. A fitness fanatic, Tom has taken on a position as a personal trainer at Dolphins Health Precinct. 

In his first season with the Dolphins in 2012 after joining from Canberra Raiders, Tom stood out with his enthusiasm and work rate, playing hooker and backrow with the grand finalists. “During the season I studied for my certificate three and four in fitness,” Tom said. “I started at DHP about a month ago and am loving it. “I deal with all ages and types of people and this is a great opportunity to change someone’s life forever. “I really enjoy the health and fitness aspects and this ties in so well with my football career. They go hand in hand.” Tom said he was learning a lot about the industry from Aaron Wheeler, who is in charge of the personal trainers and is also the Dolphins’ strength and condition coach. “DHP has about 2000 members and will keep growing because of the firstclass facilities and the staff operating it,” Tom said. “I am already finding that I am starting to build up my client base.”

You can find Tom along with the other DHP Personal Trainers at the Fitness Centre - feel free to drop in and say hello!
