Testimonials
“I have been training at Powerhouse for about 3 years and when it comes to the gym itself, it is the most welcoming, nurturing, supportive and most knowledgeable environment I have ever been in. Everyone who is there from trainers to other members, they support you and your goals and everyone pushes you to do your best. Not only are the classes challenging and rewarding but the trainers themselves are professional, kind and really prioritise you and your needs. However, I trained 1 on 1 with Scott Morrell and it was next level. When I first met Scott, I hadn't really strength trained, never tracked food and never followed a proper training structure and the second I stepped foot into the gym and into my first PT session with him, everything changed. Scott and I worked together during my competition prep in 2019 and from day dot all I got was support, knowledge, constant attention to detail and care. Not only did Scott train me in person 1 on 1 and teach me proper lifting, proper form, why we train the way we do and the biological science of the body and how everything works and the "whys" around everything, but he taught me nutrition, flexible dieting, the importance of balance and how to nourish my body from within. He got me an amazing transformation on stage and a few medals as well. Scott is one of the most knowledgeable coaches I have ever met. It is admirable the care and knowledge he has for his clients and his business. Scott teaches you more than how to lift a bar. He is by far the best coach out there and the real MVP. He truly cares about you, your health and wellbeing but really cares for your goals and success. Competing under him was the best experience I have ever had and one I will never forget as I learnt so much from him and the experience and those habits that I now have in day-to-day life. Number 1 coach.” - Ally Pizzey
“I have spent many years in various gyms but it wasn’t until I discovered Scott and the team at Powerhouse that I achieved tangible results. Through education of correct lifting technique, structured weight programs combined with Scott’s un-challenged knowledge of nutrition I have progressed more than I could of imagined. More recently I have been training in a one on one setting with Scott which has seen my strength and physique advance further than ever through a tailored weight program and a personalised nutrition plan. Powerhouse has fashioned an addiction to training that not only strengthens the body but also the mind” - Chad Kopacz
“I’ve been a member of Powerhouse for over six years now, the last two years I’ve been working with Scott as an online client. Scott’s passion and drive for health and fitness is like no other. His attention to detail and knowledge for training and nutrition greatly assisted me in my own health and fitness journey. I competed in my first body building competition last year (2020) under Scott’s guidance as my coach and won the Overall ICN Southern Cross Title, this could not have been achieved without Scott as my coach. I cannot recommend Powerhouse Strength and Conditioning enough whether you’re starting out in your own health and fitness journey or you’re looking to level up your training Powerhouse is your place to go.” - Krystal Wright
“I have been training at powerhouse for the past 5 years and have always thoroughly enjoyed my training sessions. Scott’s knowledge on health and fitness is above the rest. Each training session is carefully curated to ensure you work hard and see results. The biggest bonus for me has been the nutrition knowledge I have attained; all trainers are well equipped to give you advice to ensure you reach your health and fitness goals. I have recently had a baby and was able to train safely with no issues throughout my entire pregnancy, following a modified program with regular check ins. I highly recommend powerhouse!!!” - Tamika Dean
“I started training with Scott at Powerhouse back in 2018 when I moved back to Melbourne from Perth. I wanted someone to hold me accountable and for someone to help me with my mobility issues, as I have been diagnosed with MS. Scott was professional from the get go! I was impressed with the time and research he put into understanding what my body could and couldn't do and what movements and exercises would give me the greatest overall gains towards day to day function and mobility. 3.5 years on and I am still training with Scott at least twice a week, and thanks to Scott my mobility, strength and function has drastically improved! I moved to the other side of Melbourne
in 2019 but I still make the 45 minute trip to see him as he is so invested in my gains and health. It's not often you meet someone that genuinely cares about your progress and is so invested, that coupled with Scott’s obvious high
degree of competence in everything that he does is why I will continue to train with him and recommend him to patients and friends.” - Fiona Chin
“I’ve been training with Scott for the past 4 years. Over the years my goals have varied from general health an fitness, injury rehabilitation to fitness competition preparation. Scott is undoubtedly the most knowledgeable and professional trainer I have ever worked with. His extensive studies and experience in nutrition and exercise physiology, programming and anatomy have allowed all my goals to be achieved without my health ever being compromised. I have trained with other trainers at Powerhouse and all are well educated in their field and provide a high quality service. Scott and Powerhouse Strength & Conditioning is by far the best in the business!!” - Celide Wolanski
