Train with purpose.
Progress with confidence.

I can't recommend Barney and his Project 23 gym highly enough. Three generations of our family attend his fitness sessions on a regular basis and he has made a significant impact on our health and fitness. Barney has a really lovely, encouraging manner and we really enjoy his sessions. I wish that I had started years ago! Thank you Barney!

I have been working with Barney and Project 23 for over two years. Barney has transformed my fitness and strength. Having suffered with both hip and knee pain, he has focused on increasing my strength and flexibility, I no longer suffer with pain. Barney has a unique way of motivating me, with an element of competition in order to achieve my goals. At 57 years old I have never felt better, my weight is down, my movement is significantly better as is my strength. I really look forward to my sessions at Project 23 and working with Barney as we work towards my goals. Highly recommended!

Barney has been my PT for most of 2026 and the results are speaking for themselves. Almost 10kg down since starting, stronger, healthier and feeling a lot happier. He has massively improved my physical and mental strength, better body better mind. Highly recommend

I have been training with Barney for just over 2 years now. I cannot recommend him highly enough, not only have I managed to lose over 10 kg in weight , lose body fat and gain significant muscle mass, I have become more confident in myself and living a healthier life overall. His gym equipment is fantastic and his knowledge is more extensive than any other personal trainer I have previously worked with.

I’ve been going to Project 23 since June and I’m really enjoying it. Barney is a top guy, who is really passionate and knowledgeable about coaching. I’ve never really felt comfortable in other gyms and I’m not really a people person so when Barney suggested coming to the group sessions I was hesitant, but it’s been great. Everyone is really friendly and helpful when doing our workouts. Barney always shows you the exercises, always keeps an eye on you even when you think he’s not looking, gives encouragement and educates you on why you’re doing the exercises he’s asking you to do. I’m getting stronger every week and I’m enjoying it.

I have been with Barney as a personal trainer for more than 4 years and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough. His technical knowledge is superb and his advice in nutrition and motivation has helped me to achieve my personals goals. His equipment is the best in the country and he has adapted the training based on my needs every time. I loved challenges and competition and he has always used that to keep me at my best. My kids (10 and 8years old) have also come to train with him and they both love it. Thank you Barney

Barney and the Project 23 coaching team have been amazing, they have tailored the exercises and a workouts to really help me target my weight loss and muscle gain goals! I've already lost weight and become leaner dropping around 4% body fat over 8 weeks.

Project 23s group training sessions were really engaging and super tailored felt more like 1-2-1 training than group training at times. Was good fun training with the others and pushing each other! Definitely recommend.

Project 23 has all the equipment you’d ever need and more. The standards set mean that they’re able to cater for anyone and everyone. Barneys attitude and work ethic is undeniable, if he doesn’t know the answer you better believe he will find out making everyone feel comfortable and confident, on their journey to achieve their goals.

Barney is an exceptional coach, and he has built a great facility at Project 23, I’d highly recommend him to anyone. He takes all of the gear out of training and going to the gym, and you get the results you want!
