TESTIMONIALS

What People Say

See what our members are saying! Real testimonials from people who’ve transformed their lives with us.

Dear Glenn, Carolyn and everyone else involved in making Countryfit the welcoming place that it is. I just wanted to say thank you so much for being such an important part of my life over the last 8 years.
When we moved to Mudgee with a 4-month-old Lachie and not knowing a soul, your 9.30 classes and amazing crèche were my saviour! Then a new bub came along and was back in crèche with you at 3 weeks old, once again being my saviour and restoring some normality to life. Since then life has been so busy that it’s a 4:30–5:30am kind of thing, but still a precious constant every week. I am so grateful! So now we have moved to Canberra, where I am setting up a cystic fibrosis service for ACT Health. A daunting challenge, but an exciting opportunity. Chris will continue working for the council, though remotely from wintery Canberra.
I’m looking around for gyms here, but know that I will not find one as welcoming and non-pretentious as Countryfit, so may just have to settle for second best.
Christopher and Christina Carter
I've had amazing trainers and support on my journey, especially from family and friends. For 15 years, Glenn Maynard and his team at CountryFit Gym, Mudgee, have backed and encouraged me. There's more to exercise and wellbeing than people realise, and Glenn has been excelling at it for years.
The Shed
Was looking for a day pass as I was only in town for a short time and this place is great. Looks small from outside, but it's huge with everything you could need - cardio room, weights room with a mix of machine stations and free weights, studio with ropes, heavy bag etc. A bit old school, but way better than the glossy chain places that charge an arm and a leg. Great place, friendly staff.
Thomas
The place is spacious, and every time I visit, it’s always clean and well-organized. The equipment is in great condition, and I’ve never found it too crowded, which makes it easier to have a good workout.
Daniel
Age is no problem I'm 92 years young, and I just finished a month of exercises, to help my mobility. Glenn & the staff were amazingly helpful, now I can walk without my cane in my home & yard. I will be coming back twice a week to further improve my mobility. Thank you Glenn & Brooke for helping to regain my mobility, see you next week.
Istvan Steve Csuba
The OG was the boss trainer today… his counting skills are still up to shit, his ability to make you push harder each round is still A+ & his hideous jokes are still bloody hideous… I actually wouldn’t change any of this though… I may have picked up a few of his bad habits today…. HE SMASHED ME.
