Vision PT St Ives Wins Historic Triple Award Sweep in National Fitness Network

The St Ives studio has made history within the Vision Personal Training network, becoming the first in Australia to claim all three major trainer awards in a single year.

In a highly competitive fitness industry, Vision Personal Training St Ives has managed to excel. In 2025, the studio became the first and only studio in the franchise network’s history to have all three major trainer awards won by coaches from the same location in the same year.

The accolades included the National Rising Star Award, recognising the top-performing new trainer in the network; the NSW Personal Trainer of the Year Award; and the National Personal Trainer of the Year Award, the highest individual coaching honour within Vision PT.

These achievements reflect not only the talent and dedication of the trainers themselves, but also the collaborative culture that exists within the St Ives studio. Clients benefit from a team of coaches who combine experience, expertise and genuine care, creating an environment where people feel supported, challenged and motivated to reach their goals.

Whether clients are looking to lose weight, improve strength, boost fitness or simply live a healthier lifestyle, Vision PT St Ives has proven that excellence in coaching delivers exceptional results.

At first glance, Luther Poier’s career path might seem unexpected. Before stepping into the fitness industry, he spent 17 years serving in the Australian and Canadian navies, followed by 25 years working across corporate finance, venture capital and startup businesses. Yet the skills he developed throughout those decades—leadership, discipline and mentoring—have translated seamlessly into personal training. After leaving much of the corporate world behind, Luther has embraced a full-time career helping people improve their health and wellbeing, an area he says he is genuinely passionate about. His dedication to learning and professional development was recognised nationally when he was named the 2025 AusActive Student of the Year by Australia’s peak fitness body, a remarkable achievement after just over a year in the industry.

Matt Briscoe has quickly become one of the most popular trainers at Vision PT St Ives. A keen runner and triathlete, he brings plenty of energy and enthusiasm to every session, but it is his personality that often wins clients over. Known for his fun banter, caring nature and thoughtful coaching style, Matt has built a strong reputation for helping people achieve lasting results while enjoying the process. His impact has been so significant that he has become the fastest-growing trainer in the history of the St Ives studio. That success was recognised nationally in 2025 when he received Vision PT’s prestigious Rising Star Award, presented to the top-performing new trainer across the network.

Kyle Philipp’s achievements speak for themselves. Over both 2024 and 2025, he delivered more personal training sessions than any other trainer across the entire Vision franchise network. More importantly, he has helped countless clients achieve life-changing results. Those who train with Kyle often describe him as someone who believes in them before they believe in themselves, inspiring them to reach goals they never thought possible. His outstanding coaching record earned him a remarkable double honour in 2025, taking home both the NSW Personal Trainer of the Year and the National Vision Personal Trainer of the Year awards. For many clients, Kyle is more than a trainer—he is a genuine catalyst for change.
