About Us
Health For Life Fitness and Rehabilitation is a personalised training centre for people of all ages and physical abilities. We aim to provide a fun, family friendly and non-intimidating exercise community that incorporates leading edge training programs to help with everything from weight loss to rehabilitation to sport specific and bootcamp style training.
After over 16 years operation, we are sure we can provide the type of training that suits you. Our studio contains everything needed for constantly changing workouts from dumbbells to rowers and balance boards. We have showering facilities available to clients as well as the beautiful open spaces of Newstead Park, and the surrounding hills of Albion, Ascot and Hamilton.
We focus on 2 main area of training - general FITNESS and FITNESS REHAB. Both these types of training (often overlapping) are offered in the form of One-on-One Personal Training, Semi-Private Training and larger Group Fitness training (6+) such as our Morning Circuit, Box-Fit, Weights Circuit and Foam Rolling/Stretching.
​
We have seen the trends come and go, and still we remain, providing the highest quality and relevancy of service to our clients and local community. Our difference is our experience. In the age of Google, everyone is an expert with information, but what truly separates the real experts is the day to day observation and application of that information. That is how we created and now implement our standards for exercise that we call our Mx3 Training System (Mobility, Movement, Motion). It is this system that allows us to successfully train such a diverse variety of clients. This system also guides us through our rehabilitation process no matter what the dysfunction.
So come and give us a go, we guarantee that this is fitness done in an entirely unique and sensible way.

Sean Longhurst
Sean brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to any training situation. With 20 years in the industry and as co-owner of Health For Life, he aims to provide a safe and inviting environment for people to improve their physical abilities.

​His true passion lies in the fields of general and sports Pre- & Rehabilitation and helping those who have long retired from exercise to get back into regular physical movement. A large percentage of the people who work with Sean have had or are preparing for joint replacement/reconstructions or are dealing with long-term pain caused by a lifetime of bad physical habits.
It is through his 20 years of experience he has worked to develop Health For Life’s training methodology – Mobility, Movement, Motion (Mx3).
Sean believes everyone should enjoy their workout experience regardless of age, ability or goal. "If exercise is something to look forward to, then it’s much easier to stick to".
