What an experience it has been so far at The Lift Department. Over the past year, the TLD family has helped me overcome many challenges and obstacles I have faced with having body image issues, being unmotivated and doubtful about my physical well-being. However, I can proudly say that I have become the best version of myself both physically and mentally, all thanks to our amazing PTs Jorge, Emily and Alessia, as well as the rest of our TLD members. Being a part of the TLD community has allowed me to become more confident within myself, allows me to motivate others to achieve their goals and build friendships with some of the most amazing people which I love the most. Everyone is so welcoming; the workouts are so good but also deadly at times and the challenges definitely help with the summer bodies everyone wants. Ever since I joined the TLD team, Jorge has been on my case about tidying up my lifting technique by doing one of his fundamental lifting sessions to learn how to breathe and brace. I have been putting it off for months as I have quite a busy schedule, however, I recently did a session with him and WOW what a difference it has made. Prior to this session, my main priority was to lift heavy weights however, I often got carried away with increasing the weight and losing technique rather than focusing on improving my technique to improve my overall lifting performance. However, after my session with Jorge, he educated me on the importance of breathing and bracing and how much of an impact it has on my range with squatting, deadlifts etc. Performing a squat or deadlift now with the proper technique has allowed me to feel more stable and confident in my lifting abilities. My focus now has shifted from lifting heavy weights to focusing on improving my technique, which has allowed me to target muscle groups more effectively, to enhance my lifting capabilities in the long run. I would definitely recommend doing Jorge's fundamentals sessions, even if you think you don't need help, because I can assure you now Jorge will change the way you view lifting, which will benefit you dramatically. Take my word for it and book a session with Jorge, you won't regret it :)) Less
Jorge and the team are awesome! More than a typical gym and so community-minded!
Had a fundamentals session with Jorge - learnt so much about breathing properly, as well as correct technique whilst lifting, particularly squatting for me. I’ve had knee injuries & surgeries in the past, which has impacted my training. This session has helped me gain the knowledge & confidence to train pain free Jorge’s passion is hugely evident in his coaching - it’s infectious
The lift dept is a great gym to learn the correct technique to get the best results from your workouts. Very friendly people oriented gym.
I joined the Lift Dept only 5 weeks ago and it has been 100% the best decision I have made for my self, I was initially hesitating and wish I pushed my self to join sooner!

This gym has such a great sense of community with a fun atmosphere, everyone is so welcoming and uplifting. Jorge, Alessia and Emily are fantastic, they are very supportive and encouraging coaches and take the time to guide you through different exercises/ movements. I did the fundamental sessions with Jorge and found these sessions really beneficial to my training and improving my lifting techniques. I'm over half way through the 9 week challenge and I'm already seeing great results in such a short time. I couldn't recommend this gym more and can't wait to continue my fitness journey at the Lift Dept! Less

Both my husband and I just completed the nine-week challenge, and we've never felt better! The guidance on both exercise and food has made such a difference to our lives.The food isn’t your typical boring meal plan – we were able to eat delicious meals that made us feel good. The support from the whole team has been amazing, and I can't recommend them enough! Less

I’ve been training here for only 3 weeks, but the staff are very welcoming and the classes are tough but quite enjoyable. I leave the class feeling well supported and happy! Highly recommend for anyone wanting to get back into working on their fitness like myself.
Highly recommend THE LIFT DEPT fundamental sessions for anyone that wants to perfect or relearn how to brace with the correct form. I feel more confident & in control of my lifts, and I’m now increasing gradually & progressing well. 5/5 stars
I did the “Breathe and Brace” session with Jorge and even after lifting for over 10 years I found the session invaluable. My lifting technique has improved and I can lift heavier weights safely.

Having been to many other gyms in the past without seeing any meaningful results in my fitness, I signed up to The Lift Dept in May 2023. It's been one of the best decisions I have ever made. Jorge, Emily and Alessia are all fantastic trainers, and the classes are well thought - they are a great mix of functional strength training and conditioning. As well, I undertook their 9 week fitness challenge in August last year, and I ended up losing 10kg upon completion of the challenge. It was hard work, but the support I got along the way, including the weekly check-in calls, helped immensely and made sure that I was staying focused on my goal. I would definitely recommend The Lift Dept to people in the Bexley area and surrounds looking to improve their fitness. Less
The Lift Dept in Bexley has a friendly and welcoming environment, that caters for all ages and ranges of fitness - from the beginner to the more advanced. Under the guidance of its amazing coaches, it has helped me to get my health back on track as a busy mum, allowing me to increase my strength through a tailored weights/conditioning program suited to my fitness ability.
I wish I could post a positive experience but sadly since joining this gym I have been forced to buy smaller clothes, help friends move, and I am now the kind of person who wakes up at 5am to exercise. I don't know what I have become. I was enjoying a very lazy life before you all got involved. Now I have to live longer and be more active every day? Bad deal!

Trainers Jorge, Emily and Alessia are incredible—they've curated 8 week programs that combines heavy lifting with focused technique, cardio sessions, and challenging isometrics.

I love this gym a lot. They provide much needed motivation to get there and fun and varied classes while you’re in. The instructors are really invested and care and make my life a good misery. If you need some gym motivation and a team around you to help achieve your goals you will never achieve in a commercial gym, TLD is for you.

A big thank you to Alessia and Emily for the guidance and support you’ve shown me along the way ❤️ yes, I tracked calories, weighed myself, and used my Check-in sheet daily.

TLD has helped me improve mentally, physically and how to use lifting techniques correctly to better myself. Always a good vibe in the gym with a tight family feeling and encouragement for everyone to push harder and see rewarding results
Best thing I've done for myself! Such an absolutely supportive crew. Such positive trainers, encouraging and never judgemental. The community they've created is so amazing. Everyone is so inviting, not cliquey, just lovely and inclusive.
This place is absolute fire! The head coach Jorge is amazing, I've never trained as hard as I have hear and wow what a session. I've been training for 10 years and no ones got me feeling like this.

They have created an awesome environment with a real sense of community which makes each class more than just a workout.

Friendly, motivating, challenging, great and knowledgeable coaches in Jorge and Emily, this local gym is a true gem.

I joined The Lift Dept 3 weeks ago and from day one I was immediately welcomed by the team. At first, I can say that I had no confidence in myself and felt the program might not be suitable for my goals. But after just a few sessions I realised how well structured the program was and beneficial for my weight loss and fitness journey. Jorge and Emily are both kind, understanding, professional and motivating. As a whole, the group is inspirational as everyone who turns up pushes themselves through the weekly challenges to reach their goals. I’m so glad I found The Lift Dept and took the first step to trial the class. I wasn’t planning to join any gym or group fitness programs anytime soon as I was enjoying the good life of binge eating and lazying around, but time is precious, tomorrow is already yesterday and it was time to put myself first starting with my health. I’m thankful for the commitment and dedication Jorge and his team puts into the program, without their constant support, weekly check-in and well planned program I would have quit before I even started. Looking forward to reaching my goals and updating my review with a positive progress report. Less

Joining The Lift Dept. has been the best ever decision of my life as I’ve never thought in a million years that I’d be able to lose weight and gain my confidence back. I remember walking into the gym and literally having a meltdown infront of Jorge and telling him how much I hated looking at myself in the mirror and Jorge just promised he’d work with me and makes my wish come true. It’s been a little over 2 months since then, and here I am, already 8+ kgs down and more to go. Jorge and Emily’s immense effort during the challenge, throughout the week and everything else has just changed my life just for the better. Thanking Jorge and Emily would never be enough as how much of an effort they put behind each and every member at the gym and help and guide us while training and teaching us the right techniques for using the equipments to avoid any injuries to ourselves. The Lift Dept. is not just a gym but a community in itself and i am really glad to be able to be a part of it and make new friends who are so so supportive and caring towards each other.

Jorge and the team bring a rare, personalised and refreshing approach to fitness. Small but mighty, this team is growing quickly and their growth doesn’t surprise me at all. Having fallen off the fitness ‘bandwagon’ many times in the past, I joined with a healthy dose of skepticism. 3 months in and I am now hooked to Jorge and his team’s passion and 1:1 attention. Don’t hesitate, if you have struggled to make a difference on the fitness front in the past, give The Lift Dept. a go! Less

Jorge has been such a great coach. He has been so helpful in training me and helping me to become confident in using gym equipment and the right techniques. I would recommend Jorge to anyone looking to begin or continue their fitness goals!!!
I couldn’t recommend better people then Jorge and the Lift Dept crew . Everyone is friendly and welcoming and it’s a true testament to Jorge for building such a great community . Doesn’t matter what level of fitness you’re at Jorge caters to all he is a master of his work and he truly cares about all his members.
Hands down, best choice I’ve made training at The Lift Dept.VERY friendly team who make me actually want to go train. I look forward to walking through the doors and always feel amazing when I leave. Big shout out to Jorge (owner) his positivism always push you out to the limit to achieve your goals!
This is not just a gym. I love everything about it! The workouts, challenges and the people make it fun and motivating. Join up!!! It’ll be the best decision you can make.
I recently started at the Lift Dept and I can honestly say that it's been the best thing iv done for me in a long time.

Highly recommend Jorge and TLD! I’ve been with Jorge since 2013, I had never had a PT before nor had I lifted weights. His ability to make you feel comfortable and empowered whilst ensuring your technique is right amazes me to this day. I had back pain, for which I was seeing physios almost every fortnight and I mentioned it to Jorge in passing and he asked me to do a few movements and he was able to tell me instantly why I was having back pains and how to fix the problem. He changed our workouts to help me strengthen my glutes and lower back and I haven’t seen a physio since! Jorge’s experience, knowledge and passion shines and it was no surprise that he’d slowly build a small family around him. So when he opened TLD I signed right up with no hesitations or doubts! TLD facilities are awesome. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, supportive and empowering! The classes are very similar to PT sessions just in groups and don’t think you can get away with slacking off, Jorge is a hawk eye and can spot a bad technique from mile away and comes running over to fix it right up! I’ve made so many friends and look forward to training every day! Less
Jorge has created the ultimate gym community at The Lift Department! Supportive, encouraging and fun but also get that tough love pushing you when you don't think you can get through the last set. A perfect balance of weight-focused classes designed to get you to lift heavy and sweat classes that get the heart rate up. I could not recommend TLD more highly.
Thrilled to be part of an amazing gym with a fantastic family culture. Everyone is extremely friendly and Jorge knows how to push you to your maximum - watching your form and giving you plenty of tips to improve along the way!
Absolutely loving the classes at TLD! I was initially nervous and intimated about joining group classes. But the atmosphere, people and ongoing support at TLD is great. Jorge has made working out fun and it keeps me coming back!

One of the best choices I've made! One that should have been made earlier! Couldn't have asked for better coaches and people to train with! The Love and support everyone has for each other is so motivating! It makes you want to keep coming back! Thank you Jorge and Emily! Looking forward to many more training sessions with you both!
Jorge is amazing - he is very knowledgeable & has created such an amazing community who are very welcoming with lots of great humour 😂 always leave in stitches. Valued by incredible results with focus on nutrition & impeccable class programming. Definitely recommend to any training age!
In the six months since joining The Lift Dept I have made more progress than ever before at commercial gyms.

Signing up to the Lift Dept has been one of the best decisions I made. Jorge has created a safe and supportive community where despite people's differing levels of fitness, everyone is pushed to their full potential. Great range of classes!
Loving training at the lift dept! Great coaching & high energy sessions each time! Well done Jorge!
I joined The Lift Dept a bit over a month ago and have nothing but good things to say about Jorge and this gym. Jorge has created a very welcoming and positive environment at The Lift Dept. He is encouraging, helpful and always provides constructive criticism. The same can be said for Emily :) thanks guys!

Couldn’t be more grateful to have gained friendships, community and support from a better group of people. The lift department is a place where goals are reached and when you feel you can’t do it alone, an army of kind souls will march right beside you and get you to the finish line. Counting my blessings!
Absolutely love coming into TLD not only is Jorge an excellent trainer but the community environment is friendly, supportive and not intimidating!
The Lift Dept has seriously helped me reach so many of my goals. From someone who was always scared to lift heavy to someone who now looks forward to each session to stack the plates on is incredible. I cannot recommend this place enough. It’s not a gym it’s literally family 😊

I’ve been training at lift dept for over 4 months and the service, professionalism and tenacity goes beyond the norm that any other trainer at a gym provides. Jorge is focused on helping everyone achieve their goals and makes every session challenging (& somehow fun). Any age or gender Jorge knows how hep you get to where you want to be and push yourself even further. Importantly: Everyone at the lift dept ensures that technique is always correct to avoid any injuries and to push themselves through every exercise. Everyone is extremely reliable & punctual – always set up & ready to start training ahead of time, with a wide variety of exercise routines planned. I thoroughly enjoy working out in whichever environment the group trains in. Whatever your fitness level everyone at the lift dept takes the time and care and keeps in mind what our fitness goals are, and the most effective and fun way to tackle them. I would highly recommend Jorge & his team to anyone looking to improve their fitness with a dedicated group of trainers and to learn the proper techniques to push yourself further in every way. Less
Amazing place to train! Jorge is extremely knowledgeable and has helped me build strength while ensuring my technique is optimal. His programs are challenging and there is an awesome community of people who are welcoming to all levels of experience and motivate one another
Great gym! Jorge is awesome and creates a good vibe
Jorge from The Lift Department is approachable and welcoming. He has created a community in his gym and is the kind of PT that goes above and beyond for his clients

Very knowledgeable and experienced PT. Great classes for all levels, friendly and comfortable atmosphere for woman.
My Lift Dept experience started out of pure convenience and it’s close proximity to my work place.

Nice setup with high quality equipment, a nice mix of classes, sensible programming and coaching and a friendly training environment. Would recommend!
Training with Jorge at The Lift Dept has been the best thing for my training thus far. Not only am I feeling better and moving the best I ever have, there is a feeling of community and warmth that I haven’t found in other gyms. 10/10 highly recommend.

The creativity and effort Jorge and his team give is unparalleled. From the first day, Jorge has made me feel welcomed and confident in choosing to trust them with my fitness goals. From ground up custom plans to constant, genuine support, you can’t go wrong when you join this fitness family.
Sensational health and fitness specialist. Diligence and attention to detail, do not think twice. Jorge and his team are an industry gem.
Great equipment and location, Jorge helped me achieve my strength goals in the set time frame. Highly recommend to anyone looking for real results.
I returned to training with Jorge last year having not trained in years. He’s guided me through getting back in shape with lots of encouragement & good humour. I’ve gone from the couch to weight training every week - & he helped me get running with his encouragement. Couldn’t recommend him more!!!
Highly recommend Jorge as a PT. Very humble honest and highly experienced in his field. Great guy and coach to work with pushing you to reach your goals.
