Mr PT Fitness is a private home studio in Dee Why run by Matt Reilly, a personal trainer with 10+ years' experience and 25,000+ sessions delivered. The studio sits at 35 McIntosh Road, kitted out for strength, conditioning and boxing, with one client at a time (or up to four for small group). No queue for the rack, no 60-second rest cap, no $19 monthly fee for a building you walk past on the way to a coach.
Why does Mr PT Fitness run a private home studio?
The home studio model lets one trainer give every client their full attention without commercial-gym overhead. No reception, no shared squat rack, no 30-minute window where a coach is splitting time across three people. The trade-off: it's not a hangout space. You come, you train, you leave.
For most clients on the Northern Beaches that trade-off is the entire point. They've already tried gyms with social pressure, F45 with no programming, and apps with no accountability. The thing that's been missing is one coach watching one client lift one rep at a time.
What's in the Dee Why studio?
The studio has every piece of kit a strength, conditioning, or boxing programme needs, with no gaps that would force training around the equipment instead of around the goal. Specifically:
- Power rack with full plate set and Olympic barbells
- Dumbbells from 5kg to 40kg, kettlebells 8kg to 32kg
- Adjustable bench, GHD, and assault bike
- Sled, plyo box, resistance bands, and TRX
- Heavy bag, focus mitts, and skipping rope for boxing
- Mirror wall for form work, music system, and air-con
Who suits training at a home studio?
The home studio suits anyone who wants individual programming, undivided attention, and zero gym social politics. The clients who get the most out of it:
- Beginners who want form coached carefully from day one
- Returners who haven't trained in years and don't want to feel watched
- Over-50s rebuilding strength after a sedentary stretch or injury
- Busy parents booking 5:30/6/6:30am slots before work
- Surfers, runners, and weekend athletes who want sport-specific programming
Who doesn't suit a home studio?
A home studio isn't the right fit if you specifically want a group training vibe, 24/7 access, or a wide variety of cardio machines. If your priorities are:
- Training at midnight or 4am with key-card access: try Anytime Fitness
- A class environment with 20+ people and pumping music: try F45
- Pool, sauna, and a full cardio floor: try a commercial gym
None of those are bad options. They're just different products to a private 1-on-1 studio.

- Use the contact form on the Mr PT Fitness homepage
- Call Matt on 0422 745 334
