Mr PT Fitness serves clients across the Northern Beaches from a private home studio at 35 McIntosh Road, Dee Why, with drive times under 10 minutes from Brookvale, Collaroy, Cromer, Curl Curl, Manly, and Freshwater. The studio is a 1-on-1 strength, conditioning, and boxing space. Halo-suburb clients book consistent weekly slots, mornings before work, or midday between school runs.
Which Northern Beaches suburbs does Mr PT Fitness serve?
Mr PT Fitness regularly trains clients from Dee Why, Collaroy, Cromer, Brookvale, Curl Curl, Narrabeen, Manly, Freshwater, Balgowlah, North Curl Curl, Beacon Hill, Wheeler Heights, and Allambie Heights. All of these are inside a 10-minute drive of the Dee Why studio outside peak hour.

Why do Northern Beaches locals choose a private studio over big-box gyms?
The two reasons clients consistently give are individual programming and zero queue for equipment. A commercial gym in Brookvale or Warriewood at 6pm has every rack taken. A 1-on-1 studio doesn't. The other recurring reason: people who've tried F45, Anytime, and gym-floor PTs and want one coach watching one client, not splitting attention.

Can I book if I live outside the Northern Beaches?
Yes. Clients living outside a 20-minute drive usually do better on online coaching than long-distance in-person. The drive eats consistency. Online coaching from $50/wk includes the same programming, weekly check-ins, and form review by video. Ask about it during your consult if that fits your situation better.
How do I book from outside Dee Why?
The booking flow is identical regardless of suburb. Start with a free 15-minute consult, then pick a recurring slot. Three ways to book:
- Contact form on the homepage
- Call Matt on 0422 745 334
- DM @mr.pt.fitness on Instagram
Consults take 15 minutes, no commitment, and most travelling clients lock in a recurring weekly slot within a week of the consult.
Frequently asked questions
Do you train people from Manly?
Yes. Clients regularly travel from Manly to the Dee Why studio. The drive is around 10 minutes outside peak. Most Manly-based clients book early-morning slots before work or midday slots between school runs.
How far is too far to drive for a personal trainer?
Most clients drop off after a 20-minute one-way drive. Anything inside that radius (Manly to Narrabeen on the Northern Beaches) is sustainable long-term. Beyond that, online coaching usually retains more consistency than long commutes.
Can I park easily near the studio?
Yes. Free on-street parking is available on McIntosh Road within 30 metres of the studio door, including before 7am and around midday. There is no permit zone or paid meter on the street.
