“I have always loved fitness, and looking aesthetic. It wasn’t till I met Coach, that I started pushing myself harder and started getting results I could only wish for. Not only has he gone above and beyond for me, he also has guided and mentored me in all aspects of my life and career! 2016 Season A in competing was absolutely amazing for us, as we took out the overall win for Mr Physique Brisbane – INBA along with 3 Golds in all my other divisions. Thanks coach, I appreciate what you do for me and the whole fit family.”
Jay AcharyaBodybuilding Competitor

“Having always been a gym and weight training enthusiast, I never really understood the correct way to train to achieve my desired results. Sitting at 96kg, I approached Leon Stensholm from Body By Leon to train me and further my desire to become a competitive natural bodybuilder.

I have lost 17kg, become extremely conditioned and well nourished following a strict macro diet. Thanks to Leon and his commitment and passion to his clients, I achieved a body type I was proud of and more importantly able to be competitive with on stage.”
Paul HooperBodybuilding Competitor

“Leon has been a wonderful coach and mentor to me. He has pushed me to achieve my goals and has been supportive both pre and post competition (INBA). Leon’s approach is professional yet he cares for his clients on a personal level. Leon’s knowledge and personal success is invaluable when making recommendations to his clients and steers clear of the “one size fits all” approach. I have full confidence that Leon would be able to help anyone achieve their health and fitness goals.”

I started my journey to better health with Leon recently and I must say definitely well worth it.The training program, nutritional plan and advice/ encouragement I get from him weekly has been awesome, even if he taps into the psychological side of things. A little confronting BUT this is what it's all about, better health both physically and mentally. Thanks Leon!

Leon is exceptional as what he does, his work ethic and commitment to helping his clients achieve their goals is admirable. He has helped so many with their fitness journey as well as their mental well being. His knowledge in the fitness industry, dedication to his clients and his willingness to go far and beyond makes him the best personal trainer / coach on the Sunshine Coast.

I cannot thank Leon enough for all the help he has provided. He is one of the best coaches, but he touches his clients life beyond just training. When I was going through a tough time, he reached out to me and got me out of my depression. Absolutely thankful to have him on my side. the kind of friendship that was built and how much he has taught me about resilience, persistence, discipline has helped me find my strength.I cannot recommend him enough and also he will keep you accountable, he will get you to your best self, even when you don’t believe you can.

Leon is incredibly talented, knowledgeable, yet so very humble. He’s motivational, passionate, disciplined, always looking for ways to improve, but most importantly, he ingrains these same qualities in the athletes he coaches. He is the kindest human I've had the pleasure to know and his energy and enthusiasm is contagious. My confidence was extremely low when I started my journey with Leon. I had poor self esteem and even though I'd competed for 2 years, I had a terrible relationship with food and self image and needed a serious change.Leon's coaching style is one that guides you towards working on answers on your own through a journey of reflection of your behaviors, motivations and actions. Mindset is an integral part of Leon's coaching and everyday he teaches you something to better yourself and your mindset. Communication is key with Leon and every conversation leaves you feeling empowered and energised.Leon cares enormously about everyone he works with. His training builds well conditioned athletes, but most importantly, his approach builds confidence in his athletes to believe in their ability to reach their full potential.

I've been a client with Leon for the last 8 years and couldn't recommend him and his gym highly enough! From someone that was incredibly intimidated of lifting weights, I now love working out with weights, but Most importantly I feel confident and strong and have a newfound love for training. I can’t recommend Leon highly enough.

I’ve been trained by this beautiful human being for 7 months now.When I met Leon I was exhausted, lost and vulnerableI am so thankful to have Leon take me on and to be part of my journey and goal.His knowledge, expertise, passion for this sport is outstanding and to have a coach whom has his heart on his sleeve, generally cares for his clients and promotes and dignifies a clean sport.You walk into head quarters he has an abundance of energy and a smile that’s infectious.To put it simply Leon is the Craig Bellamy of this sport.I’m forever blessed and thankful

I have only been training with Leon for a few weeks but already noticing change. I love the weekly check ins as it helps keep me stay accountable and on track. The program is great especially for people who work full time and need some flexibility with their training. Leon is always there to answer questions along the way, and super fast at responding. He is knowledgeable and lives by example as such an inspirational person. He is one of the most positive people I’ve ever met - always has a smile that will brighten your day - his positivity is totally infectious. If you need help with goal setting and a coach who will help you achieve them then Leon is your guy.

Absolute legend of a coach! Super professional to work with. Not only raises the bar for physical conditioning, he strives to work on your mental health. He is a coach that anyone can be proud to call their mate, goes well and truly above what is required of him.
