Hi I’m Matt. Co-founder of 5th Element Wellness.
I’m not someone who owns a gym that’s always been healthy and fit. Far from it.
Like most, I’ve had many moments where I’ve started an exercise routine and cleaned up my nutrition, only to fall off the wagon 2-4 months later.
I was simply pouring too much energy into my stressful career, eating for convenience and pleasure, and was far too sedentary. In essence, I wasn’t prioritizing my own health – and my overall wellbeing was suffering in numerous ways.
So I started learning about holistic health. Quit my job. Qualified as a PT. Co-founded 5EW. Then I worked with some of the best Coaches on the planet to guide my heath journey. One thing I’ve learned is that everyone should have a Coach if they’re serious about long-term consistency.
From there, I simply followed the support systems of accountability we use here at 5EW. I maintained a weekly PT session. And frequently had my Coach track my progress and design my journey for continued progress. Yep, even Coaches have Coaches.
I’ve had to change a lot, but I’m proud to say that over the past 7 years, I’ve become leaner, fitter, stronger, more mobile, and I’m mentally sharper.
It’s crazy that at 40+ years old, I feel like I’m 28!
Also, I’ve noticed that whilst the other parents are sitting back watching their children play, I love that I can easily run and get into physical activity with my kids. I love playing with them. And I love being a role model.
So that’s what we do at 5EW. We work towards longevity through holistic health.
We’re experts at playing the long game, and isn’t that the only one that matters?

“Rick Has Made Considerable Improvements In His Goals And Overall Lifestyle Habits”
When Rick first came into 5th Element Wellness over a year ago, he came to us seeking help with his broken night’s sleep, restricted mobility and low energy levels. He was also unhappy with the state of his posture and instability through lack of strength, due to his condition (Parkinson’s Disease, which is a disorder of the nervous system. It results from damage to the nerve cells in a region of the brain that produces dopamine, a chemical that is vital for the smooth control of muscles and movement).
Through Rick’s ability to commit himself, focus on his goals and maintain consistency in his training and nutrition, he has achieved phenomenal results in his journey at 5th Element Wellness so far. Through coaching from Fletch, he has made considerable improvements in his goals and overall lifestyle habits.

COMMENTS FROM CLIENTS
“It’s so nice to find a gym where you don’t feel intimidated working out and all the trainers know your name and take a genuine interest in how you are going. This is one gym membership that I won’t be cancelling!”
TARA“5ew is my place to escape. Whether I’m up for a hard session of resistance training or need some relaxation and refuge with yoga or a sauna this little sanctuary has it all. The warm social environment is so inviting and the knowledge the staff have of holistic health and wellness is second to none.”
JAMIE“After 4 weeks I have noticed such an improvement in an injury that has caused me a lot of pain for more than 4 years. The best part has been the reaction from my myo – he was shocked at how my injury has improved.”
KATHERINE“By far the best gym experience I’ve ever had. So much more than a gym. Great lifestyle advice regarding nutrition and stress management, strength training tailored around my functional flaws, all guided by my dedicated personal trainer. I personally couldn’t speak more highly of this place and the staff.
NICK HILL“Absolutely love 5ew, the holistic approach, great atmosphere and awesome trainers makes it a place you never dread going to.”
JOANNE“The equipment, amenities and atmosphere far exceed any gym that I have been to. Not to mention the staff, whose knowledge, professionalism and all round nature ensured that I was given the best chance to reach my fitness and body composition goals. Would recommend to anyone looking to take a holistic approach to their health.”
JIMMY ELIAS“I’ve been a member of 5EW for the last 12 months, best health and lifestyle decision I have ever made. For the 6 years prior I had memberships at various commercial and fad 24-hour gyms. Before I joined 5EW I thought I knew a lot about fitness from all the so-called ‘credible’ sources – TV, Internet, YouTube, magazines, word of mouth etc. How wrong I was.
In my first 6 months at 5EW I not only got better results than the previous 6 years combined,
more importantly I feel better than I ever have – they also provide ongoing support and knowledge on how to really change your lifestyle. Thanks Dave, Matt and the crew, and Reza – best PT in Melbourne.”
JAE REY“I have been lucky enough to be a member of this club since it first opened in 2014. It has been without doubt the best experience I have had with any fitness centre that I have been a member. They really care on showing you how to have a healthy lifestyle, and always have time to share their immense knowledge. The equipment is premium and the Strongman classes always challenge and teach me, while remaining fun. I walk in for a workout, and leave feeling more inspired to reach my peak performance both physically and mentally. I am incredibly grateful to have found this club and look forward to continuing the journey with the 5th Element team.”
ANTONIO BARTONE“Been a member since September 2014. Every time I head in its not a chore, its a choice and this is due to the fact that its an incredibly comfortable floor plan, there is no loud over bearing music just a chilled out space where you can work hard.
The staff are friendly and outgoing and always willing to lend a hand or an encouraging word when you need it. Results have been good and i have achieved things I didn’t initially set out to achieve and its taken me down the path of going for bigger goals
I recommend 5EW as the type of facility that’s not a gym it really is a wellness facility that aims to improve your overall health and well being.”
LAUREN BOLAND“World class! These guys and girls are all dedicated to the cause of making you as healthy as possible.
PHILLIP“Best. Amazing Trainers.”
REZA BOLOURI“Best gym I’ve ever been to!!! Everyone is so friendly. I am the happiest and healthiest I’ve ever been! Go 5th Element!”
CLAIRE ANDERSON“I signed up 6 months ago and feel I am the strongest and healthiest that I have ever been. The team are fantastic, and I feel like they are just as committed to my health and wellbeing as I am. I highly recommend 5EW to anyone that is wanting to get great results from their training investment.”
JEN BRICE“In a bid to return to sport following a knee reconstruction, I decided to look outside the underwhelming norms of strength and conditioning. It is here that I found 5th Element Wellness – and I haven’t looked back since! The equipment, amenities and atmosphere far exceed any gym that I have been to. Not to mention the staff, whose knowledge, professionalism and all round nature ensured that I was given the best chance to reach my fitness and body composition goals.”
LACHLAN HOWE“Love the warm welcoming atmosphere from the dedicated team of professionals. It’s worth the 30 minute drive for me as I live some distance away. Infrared sauna and yoga are both key attractions to me but the equipment and trainers are top class too.”
MARITA KEENAN“5th Element Wellness is by far the best gym I have ever been to. World class gym facilities, a bouldering wall, yoga studio, sauna and nutrition bar make it possible for a whole-body experience. If you’re looking for a positive, nurturing and supportive community, this is the gym for you. Their holistic approach to health and well-being coupled with extremely passionate instructors makes every visit very rewarding!
“This is not a fluorescent-lit box filled with treadmills nor a sweaty pit of body building apes wanting to get as huge as possible. 5th element is a welcoming, healthy environment with friendly staff that have a balanced philosophy for physical and mental well-being. It’s been a pleasure to be educated and motivated by people who really care!”
“5th Element is a brand new awesome friendly environment to get fit and healthy and it’s the only gym I’ve actually wanted to go back to regularly. The staff remember your name and everything is geared towards a holistic approach to your health/fitness giving you every chance to get the most out of a gym like diet advice, one on one PT, smoothies, shakes, green drinks, yoga, sauna etc.”
“Highly recommended gym with specialised machinery not usually seen in conventional gym. The infrared heated yoga room set this gym apart.”
“5EW caters for everything I need, deadlifts, squats, bench, climbing wall + yoga and an infrared sauna! They have Coconut butter or cold pressed organic coffee for before your session and Apple Cider Vinegar or Chlorophyll afterwards, they really have thought of everything (even a fresh juice/smoothie bar) I highly recommend it.”
“5th Element is unlike any other gym I’ve been to. The facilities are first class and the staff are all very friendly. I am greeted by name every time I walk in which makes you feel at home, and they are all genuinely focused on getting you results.”
“The obvious loss of body fat was what I saw initially, but the change in diet and eating habits have made me feel lighter, as in not bogged down and sluggish. I am more confident in the way I move, and excited to try different training techniques instead of feeling intimidated by them.”
MELINDA“I’ve had loads of gym memberships over the years; from Fitness First to the local testosterone grunting gym. 5EW is in another league. From the holistic and individualistic approach to training to the OCD attention to detail and top of the range facilities.”
TIM“Having been a member of numerous gyms over the years, I can honestly say there’s nothing quite like 5th Element Wellness. Becoming a member has really been a holistic lifestyle choice, and the best investment I’ve ever made for my health.”
MEL“Going to 5th Element Wellness is a pleasure rather than a chore. I always feel welcome and not just like another number. The yoga studio has a really nice, relaxing vibe, and the infra red panels provide a gentle heat which really helps my yoga practice.”
RAIN“5th Element is the epitome of accessible, informative and realistic health and wellness. It’s an environment of no judgement, support and is at the forefront of fitness innovation. They have set the benchmark for new and existing entrants to the market.”
