I would highly recommend Mindset- First Fitness ..I started attending this year, first with some PT sessions with amazing Aynur, the power behind this gym.. since I had not being exercising regularly , I was not sure how I would fare, however Aynur led me through the sessions, encouraging me to attempt more at each session while making the experience of attending the gym very pleasent .
The gym is well equipped, the group classes are small in number hence each client gets individual attention when required.
A great place to build your strength and fitness.

"I have the pleasure of attending Aynur's classes and I can confidently say she is an inspiring, caring, and truly wonderful instructor and mentor.
She has a genuine passion for helping others improve their health and wellbeing, and it shows in the way she supports and motivates everyone around her. Aynur goes above and beyond by sharing valuable information about health and wellness, making each session not only physically rewarding but also educational.
Her classes strike the perfect balance between fun and effective workouts, ensuring that every participant feels challenged yet supported. The positive and encouraging atmosphere she creates helps people push their limits and achieve their best results in a safe and nurturing environment. Whether you are a beginner or more experienced, Aynur tailors her approach to suit individual needs, making everyone feel included and empowered.
I highly recommend Aynur to anyone looking to enhance their fitness journey with a knowledgeable, compassionate, and engaging instructor. Her dedication and enthusiasm make every class a memorable and rewarding experience."

I have been training with Aynur for the past year, and it has been an incredible journey. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand my goals, fitness level, and lifestyle, and then tailored every session to push me just the right amount.
Aynur strikes the perfect balance of being both highly motivating and genuinely supportive. She knows exactly when to encourage me to go further and when to adapt things so they suit me. Every session feels purposeful, varied, and engaging — no two workouts are ever the same.
Her attention to detail and form has been a game-changer. I always feel safe, challenged, and confident in the progress I’m making. Over the past year, I’ve seen a huge improvement not only in strength and fitness but also in my energy levels and overall mindset toward health.
Another aspect I really value is how clean and hygienic her gym is. It’s always spotless, well-organised, and welcoming — which makes a big difference in feeling comfortable and focused during training.
Beyond being a fantastic trainer, Aynur is warm, approachable, and truly cares about her clients’ wellbeing. Training with her has become a highlight of my week, and I feel grateful to have found someone so passionate and dedicated.
I would recommend Aynur wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a trainer who combines knowledge, encouragement, results, and a professional, hygienic environment.

Aynur is a thorough professional. Her care and attention to detail is amazing. Aynur takes the time to plan challenging but achievable sessions each week. Since starting with Aynur almost 2 years ago I am physically stronger and much more confident.

Aynur is an incredible personal trainer. I have trained with many PTs for over 10 years and I’m so impressed with the client focus Aynur brings to every session. She has easily 50+ clients and she seems to know everyone needs and goals by heart! She is a friend to all her trainees and you can tell she does this out of joy and truly the desire to help people achieve their fitness goals. I’m so grateful to have found this incredible support pillar in my life. Through her incredible network I have made amazing friends in her training sessions. Her energy and positivity combined keeps me energized and motivated to give my best to every workout. We absolutely adore Mindset Fitness.

I have never met a trainer who has whole hearted commitment to my health the way Aynur does. She is not only a trainer but has become a very dear friend who gives us personalised attention and advice across fitness training, nutrition and health. While Aynur has unmatched knowledge on fitness and exercise (especially what is important for women), she is also someone who has invested time and effort into our personal health beyond the gym.
Aynur and I worked on many strategies for my weight loss and we finally nailed it with what would work for me specifically. I lost 7 kgs in 10 weeks through a sensible approach to food and exercise. Something that I will continue as part of my healthy lifestyle. Aynur helped me change my relationship with food and my behaviour for the long term.
This was not a quick and dirty plan - this was a well thought out , well researched and one with consistent advice and motivation.
Aynur has an unbelievable ability to motivate just about anyone. She has an incredible understanding of people and behaviours/ motivations. She is very mindful of the clients she takes on and how they would gel with the others. She has built a beautiful community. Many clients I have seen have achieved their personal goals - building strength, stamina, losing weight, getting toned, etc.
I am also impressed that Aynur has completed further training and certification in pilates. Looking forward to that! Her Saturday morning classes are super fun and set us up for the week. We have weekly challenges with steps, food, water, sleep and so much more.
Her whatsapp group is most sought after, we look forward to her messages full of purposeful information and inspiration. Very very lucky to have her in our lives to support a strong healthspan for all of us. Thanks Aynur. We love you!!

I have been doing personal training with Aynur, leading up to my wedding in June. I have worked with multiple trainers before and she is by far the best trainer!! Aynur is full of energy, genuinely cares for her clients and has strong technical knowledge in both Pilates, HIIT, Resistance work, TABATA, boxing.. she is an all rounder - which makes every training day - a TONNE OF FUN!
It is has been an amazing experience working with her - her wholistic approach to nutrition, mental and physical training, has also helped me be fit and healthy enough to fall pregnant.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! 6-STARS (If I could!)

Aynur is an amazing trainer. She knows just how far to push you without overwhelming you. She works around injuries and makes sure the exercises aid in your recovery. Sessions are always varied and offer a great whole body workout. Her positive energy and encouragement is inspiring. Group sessions cater for all fitness levels. I can’t recommend Mindset-First Fitness enough. Try it - trust me you will not regret it.

I have been training with Aynur for over a year now. Every training is different and result oriented. I love the positive energy and the variation she brings. I feel refreshed and happy to see myself losing inches at the end of every term. My team is awesome to work and much different to a gym. Thank you Aynur for all your efforts. Keep up the good job.

Aynur is an amazing fitness and lifestyle coach who really takes the time to get to know her clients and helps them set and achieve their personal goals. Training is always so much fun and you never feel intimidated as you are training with some amazing ladies. I always look forward to Saturday mornings knowing that I will leave feeling amazing. I would not hesitate recommending Mindset first training and can’t wait to get back to face to face training once lock down is over.

Training with Aynur has been a great experience in order to enhance my fitness journey and personal goals. She’s energetic and highly driven, always having a to do attitude whilst also wanting to bring change into her clients lives. These training sessions have pushed and challenged me to adapt and bring change into my own life through exercise, staying active and focusing on having a balanced diet. I definitely recommend her as a fitness coach as she creates a fun filled and motivating environment for everyone.

I started with Aynur in October 2020 post surgery with a goal of improving my running ability and core fitness in preparation for the 22km Ultra Trail Running event held in Katoomba in May 2021 (UTA22). Aynur programmed a series of PT sessions specifically targeting my goals whilst providing nutritional support and motivation along the way. I found Aynur to be extremely passionate about helping her clients and is always just as excited to see milestones and goals achieved. She takes the time and provides an individualised program to ensure your making progress and takes into consideration all the hurdles life throws into the mix. In my lead up to the event my running ability improved so much that I managed to set new PB’s in a number of 5k parkrun courses, my overall parkrun PB, my 10km event PB at the Sydney10 as well as completed the UTA22 within my target timeframe and finishing in good form with no post run aches. I owe my achievements so far this year to Aynur, her knowledge, passion, professionalism, and skill is what got me over the line.

Aynur’s knowledge and positivity to good health and over all wellbeing has been amazing. My training sessions always keep me interested as the sessions always well thought out and never monotonous.

Aynur is the best PT anyone can dream of. She is super energetic, encouraging, and passionate. Very knowledgeable about nutrition and spot on with the type of exercises you need to achieve your goal. I personally lost 5kg in 3 months by only exercising once or twice a week with her and following her nutrition guide. I highly recommend her.

I haven’t done any style of training so starting out was a little daunting but with Aynur’s support and positivity I have really enjoyed it and am loving the results. Thanks Aynur

My experience at Mindset-First Fitness has been one of a kind! Aynur is very caring and has an amazing attention to detail with each individual client. I have tried many programs over the years, but this is the first time I have felt empowered to make the right choices about my lifestyle and see the amazing results. There is no judgement, and you can move at your own pace. I would highly recommend this program.

I began training with Aynur a couple of months ago, my husband Ian recommending her to me, having been a colleague in the past and well-knowing her absolute dedication to doing the best job possible in everything she does. I have certainly discovered the same! Over the last weeks Aynur has steadily improved my strength, balance, and overall fitness incredibly, pushing me hard but without any danger of muscle damage. She knows exactly how far to go to really challenge me and the level just increases as we go. We have such fun together, I enjoy every minute of my training sessions, although I have not beaten her skipping record yet! I will keep trying. Looking forward to my next session with anticipation!

Being introduced to Aynur, Mindset-Fitness has been an absolute life changer for me, literally. I cannot praise this incredible woman enough! Being a cancer & heart attack survivor, I really needed to improve my health & my fitness. Luckily for me a special friend who had been training with Aynur for quite some time, asked me if I'd like to go along to a session with her to see if I liked it. I LOVED it! Aynur is an exceptionally smart, professional, caring & dedicated woman who very obviously loves helping others, including people like myself with a medical history to achieve their health goals. In my opinion, Mindset-Fitness is truly the best of the best!

Meeting Aynur have been life changing to me. In addition to fitness training, Aynur also guided me how to eat healthily. With her guidance and training, I have lost weight and feel a lot stronger and fresher. I would not hesitate at all to recommend her to anyone who needs a health/fitness coach.
