Chris Metaxas – Owner and Head Personal Trainer Physical literacy. These two words describe my beliefs on health, fitness and well-being today. My broad interpretation of physical literacy is having the basic skills and knowledge to value and take responsibility for physical activity. It’s as important as reading and writing skills for improving life quality.

This understanding later in life was a light bulb moment and a catalyst for several changes. Today I am a confident and motivated PT running a business that positively impacts the lives of the local community through physical activity.

All Hawthorn East trainers are Certified Personal Trainers and have undergone further induction training into the LTYB

Nick brings plenty of energy and enthusiasm to every workout. Nothing gives Nick more joy than seeing members achieve their fitness goals and improving their overall quality of life. Nick joined the studio in 2023 running classes on mainly Fridays and Saturdays.
