Hi, I’m JJ Economu — Founder and Personal Trainer at Mindset Fitness. It’s my passion to equip others with the knowledge, self-belief and motivation to overcome their health and fitness obstacles and live a healthier life.
Through my own struggles and experiences, I've learned that having the right mindset is crucial for making significant changes in your health and lifestyle. That's why I created Mindset Fitness – to help others unlock their full potential with fun, balanced programmes that consider the bigger picture and set you up for lifelong success.

Lost 50kgs
"I have lost 50kgs of body fat and can now run again; before, walking without losing my breath was a struggle. I hadn't been able to run for a very, very long time. My energy levels have skyrocketed! I can now do 50 full push-ups nonstop. My eating habits have improved so much, and JJ really took the time to show my wife and I what we should and shouldn't be eating and how it would affect our bodies and minds! Plus, he always thought about what meals we could make that would be great for our kids too. My wife and I have completed 3 Mindset Fitness 12-week programs. Each program became more and more challenging, and it's something my wife and I really looked forward to. It has really changed our lives and lifestyles! JJ, thanks a lot for everything, mate. We couldn't have done it without your knowledge and guidance."

"I first met JJ about 5-6 years ago while working in the local cafe. He always had a friendly smile on his face and would often stop for a chat with me. I met him around the time I had transitioned my fitness journey from running to weightlifting. I was a beginner, following the instructions of my friends who were already into it. I didn't know much, but I knew enough to start. It wasn't until a little later in my friendship with JJ that I turned to him for help. He had previously told me about his business and the people he helped. He often gave me tips and would ask how my journey was going. Working with JJ was so different from what you'd expect when working with a personal trainer. That's because he wasn't your regular PT; he was a friend who genuinely cared about your progress and overall well-being. He answered numerous questions I had, never judged me, and made me feel like a priority. His methods are well-balanced; it didn't even feel like a diet. He made sure to incorporate my favorite snacks and meals within reason, and his extensive knowledge reached a point where I stopped questioning everything and started trusting him. He's the one person I would turn to at any point if I felt lost or needed some guidance to point me in the right direction."

"I went to JJ with the following goals: I wanted to lose weight and maintain a regular gym routine. I also wanted to re-wire my brain into eating healthier going forward, and actually enjoy it. I had spent years doing crash diets, being too tired for the gym, and never really getting any results. I have a family so my diet had to fit with everyone else's meals. JJ helped me achieve all of my goals and more. He was so easy to work with, and I would not hesitate recommending him to anyone."
Merel
Lost 13kgs
"JJ's passionate and knowledgeable approach in helping me to improve the way I looked at exercise and food was amazing and made so much sense to me. It was fun and didn't feel like a burden which was my main concern before contacting him. He would have a way of relating the exercise and the food you were eating to something quirky or something I could personally relate to. I lost 13kgs in 12 weeks by following a personalised food plan daily and doing a structured work out plan 3 times a week through his 12 week programme. He took me to the supermarket and taught me how to look at food labels and what to watch out for and how to make healthier choices. He was there to go through the exercises with me and made sure I was doing them correctly and help me build my strength up so every 4 weeks I could do harder and more intense work outs."
Michael
"JJ has completely transformed my relationship with exercise. He has shifted it from one where I actively avoided it, to one where I feel confident about my appearance, my progress, and even look forward to working out. In fact, he has had a broader impact on my entire outlook. His perfect balance of listening, positivity, encouragement, and down-to-earth attitude make JJ a one-in-a-million trainer."
Jenny
"Training with JJ is something I look forward to every week. He has helped me get more perspective and success not just on my fitness goals, but also nutrition, sleep, and overall mental and physical health. This is the first time in 10 years that I've maintained a weight that makes me feel amazing."

"Rather than giving all of his clients a one-size fits all type experience, JJ takes the time to tailor each experience to that particular client's individual needs. This has enabled him to guide his clients in achieving some phenomenal results, including my own personal weight loss of over 60kg. I thoroughly enjoy training with JJ as he is very inspirational and makes exercise fun. Although results driven, he does not solely focus on the end goal but rather guides you through each individual step of the journey which in turn makes the whole process that much easier. I believe this is why Mindset Fitness has such a high client success rate. You ask anyone who has trained with JJ, he is a good soul and his company reflects that."

"After years of struggling with drug addiction, I found myself turning to heavy drinking and was gaining weight rapidly. Unhappy with the path I was on, I knew I needed help to make a change. JJ and Mindset Fitness always popped into my mind as a solution as I knew I didn’t have the strength to do it alone. We met for a chat and from that day my life was changed forever! JJ taught me that small steps lead to the big picture and how to really change my mindset and life. The first thing he taught me was to believe in myself and how to set achievable goals. After working with JJ I gave up drinking, my weight dropped and I don’t get anxious anymore. I’m now a better friend, dad, son, and most importantly I love myself for who I am. I don’t hate my past but instead use it as a tool to fight harder and help others."

"Training with Mindest Fitness, I have not only lost the most weight I ever have (and kept it off) but I have also learned so much from JJ about how to live both a healthy and happy lifestyle. Initially, happiness and healthiness were not necessarily 2 things that I thought would go together. I have had 2 trainers prior to meeting JJ and both prescribed the same plan of a super restrictive diet and a tough daily exercise regime. What sets Mindset Fitness apart is that JJ understands that these strict plans may work for some people, but is not the only path to everyone’s weightless or fitness goals. I think this is what sets Mindset apart, JJ has a genuine desire to educate his clients so that they know how to make the best choices for their lifestyle and their health goals on their own, this means that the Mindset way works for everyone as JJ essentially gives you the tools and the control over reaching your own goals. I was shocked that at my initial meeting with JJ I was told that my food plan could include ice cream and chips!"

"I have worked with JJ for a span of 18 months, where I have gone from 110kg to 83kg. The great thing about this though, isn't that I managed to shed the weight, it's that I've managed to keep it off, which I credit solely to JJ's holistic approach to wellbeing. JJ spends a lot of emphasis on building healthy habits, and uses powerful anecdotes to explain 'why' we're doing what we're doing. I feel he's also one of the few trainers who feels a genuine passion for his training and the impact it has. With JJ's training, I've rekindled my love for the outdoors, doing several hikes in NZ and recently completing the hike to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, and will be planning to do the Kakoda Trail shortly. JJ's emphasis on what's important to you and his explicit linking of it to your training makes every session very productive and you see the results near on instantly."

"Not to be dramatic, but my experience with JJ has been life-changing: a total body and mindset change. JJ's positive reinforcement and constantly evolving fitness routine have quickly become an essential part of my week. 20kgs down and counting, I'm stronger and so much happier!"
Chris
"The best weight control and fitness advice ever given are the programmes by JJ Economu. JJ meets with you and discusses your individual needs and goals and tailors his programme to suit you. You are rewarded as you go through the programme and are given a huge amount of support by JJ directly. Personally, I lost 5kg in 5 weeks, a safe and sustainable rate of 1kg per week for long-term results."
