"Peter Natoli from Punches in Bunches has been with the Bendigo Braves Club for the past five years. In the two years that I've been coaching his professionalism, commitment and results have been excellent.
From a tough but enjoyable preseason, to fitness and health management during the season, as well as individual training programs for players, Peter has been a major part of the team's success including our SEABL conference championship win in 2010.
And in 2011, Peter has helped the Braves to the top of the ladder again as we head towards finals. For those two years we have been the fittest team in the league!
Peter's passion and desire to get the best possible results for the Braves players has been first class."

"It was October 2010 when I decided that my life had to change. After been recommended to Punches in Bunches I thought that this type of fitness routine would suit me as I had a boxing background growing up. I soon realised that I didn’t need the background and my whole family could do it as well. I felt at ease with Peter Natoli straight away and have never felt that I didn’t fit in, even at my heaviest weight of 128kg. I lost approx 16kg before the fight back fitness challenge and 18.3kg in ten weeks during the challenge. This has definitely changed my life as I am the fittest I have been in 18yrs, I am healthier and my family have benefited from this experience as well. If you have been thinking of losing weight or even getting fit I would definitely recommend Punches & Bunches. It changed my life and it will change yours too."

"At the age of 34 and a BMI to match, it was obvious I needed to stop making excuses and do something about it. Thanks to Pete and the "Fightback Fitness Challenge", I am now in the best physical condition of my adult life.
Punches in Bunches is a great place to workout in a supportive and family friendly environment.
I never realised exercise could be so much fun"

"I started at Punches in Bunches in January of this year and can literally say it has changed my life!
Over the years i have lost weight before but the difference this time is without a doubt the toning
aspect, it has most definitely changed my body shape!
The fight back fitness challenge was the kick start and motivation i needed and with LOTS of commitment
i lost 15 kg in 10 weeks and 40 cm!!
Heaps of different session times are excellent for fitting in around my life with shift work running a house and two kids!!
Friendly and helpful people are just the icing on the cake!! Definitely a great place to exercise!!"

"I was unfit and out of shape, and after 3 children it was time to find something for ME! A friend introduced me to Punches in Bunches 15 months ago, and within in no time i went from 1 session a week to now at least 5!! I have now achieved a new and enthusiastic approach to exercising. I feel stronger,have more energy,better muscle definition, and improved fitness. Punches in Bunches has also allowed me to form friendships with some amazing people, it is such a social environment, not only for adults but on occasions my kids come with me, they have fun while i get the benefits of my workout. So thank you Pete for creating such a addictive,happy place to escape too!!"
