Christian’s expertise provides clients with results that positively impact their everyday life. Christian has been working in the health and fitness industry since 2007. His experience originally follows a path from Australia to the United Kingdom, to Vancouver Canada to now here in Adelaide, Australia. What his clients are saying –
There are thousands of massage therapists in North America who
could do a good job of working lactic acid out of fatigued muscles and relaxing superior athletes. But, I only know of one who is able to balance the musculo-skeletal frame while infusing positive energy into the mind of the individual. That person is Christian Dykes. I am a physician who has practiced in Malaysia for the past six years. There may not be a Wholefoods or 24 hour Fitness here, but we do have outstanding massage therapy available at a fraction of North American rates. In short I am a massage connoisseur, and am very critical of therapists. Christian introduced himself to me as a “Body Worker” and I remember being sceptical. An hour later I was asking him how he accomplishes the great effect he had just delivered to my body and mind. His response was, “it is a passion. I feel connected to my clients and love what I do.” His therapy goes far beyond removing knots from muscle.

"I have bicycled around North America 3 times (50,000 km) to raise awareness for a kinder world! Over the last 30 years I've had many, many massages & over that time 2 of them easily standout amongst the rest. One was in Sedona, Arizona, by a fellow who was John McEnroe's massage therapist on the Pro Tennis Tour for many years & the other was from Christian Dykes who I continue to see. Without the great work of Christian I doubt I would be able to continue being so active following a knee & hip replacement plus a body filled with arthritis! He is simply amazing & I can't recommend him highly enough!"

Christian Dykes was referred to me by a friend 4 years ago - he introduced me to boxing training. It is one of the best work-outs I've ever practiced and to this day, I still use his methods of training. Christian is most pleasant, knowledgeable, focused but also knows how to lighten things up. I always felt challenged by him but never frustrated. Additionally, he's an excellent masseuse, one of the best I've ever had amongst numerous registered massage therapists over the years. He listens to your needs and finds the right solution. In my case, he's helped me with shoulder and lower back problems. Finally, Christian's enthusiasm is contagious. His interest goes beyond training and massage as he happily shares with you his wealth of knowledge about food and health in general. Michel L
Christian gives an excellent massage combining great technique, a deep understanding of the body and an inherent talent as a healer. Having received treatment from various massage traditions, I consider his one of the best. Tarek Toubale
It's rare to find a personal trainer that not only personalizes your workout to be effective and fun, but one who will also put you through an extremely gruelling workout without you feeling it was. At our first appointment Christian took the time to identify problem areas that I needed to work on and also took time to find out the types of exercise I considered to be fun. He then programmed my workout to accommodate some of those exercises and added others that I now consider fun. Within no time I began to see results. As a bonus, Christian is personable, funny, and an absolute pleasure to have as a coach. Winnie Parris - Vancouver
Without Christian my life would have definitely taken the wrong path. I truly can say that he was and is one of the most influential people in my life. His tips are helpful, knowledgeable, but also sometimes challenging. He is an outstanding masseur, trainer: Funny, helpful and very professional. I can highly recommend him. Sabine L. Christian is an amazing massage therapist who puts his whole being in everything he does. He is a warm and compassionate person who wants to share his knowledge of healthy lifestyle and well-being. Christian's massage is a great possibility to learn to listen to yourself and take care of yourself. It's never too late to do that! Thank you, Christian, for your wonderful work! Laura
“Christian developed creative, fun and rigorous sessions that became progressively more difficult, and involved a variety of strength training, cardiovascular development and stretching techniques. He facilitated a range of sports and training methods (boxing, Pilates, yoga, etc.) to fulfill my personal preferences and help me achieve my physical goals. Dykes’ positive attitude and amiable personality made him a pleasure to train with. He was always punctual, generous with his time, polite and very accommodating. In addition, his athleticism, vigour and active lifestyle proved a great motivator. Christian is an excellent trainer and I recommend him to you or your organization.” Sean Nardi
“Christian Dykes is extremely professional, accommodating and fun to work with. Honesty, integrity and sincerity are qualities hard to find these days, but I have found Christian to possess all of these great attributes. He is one of the nicest people you could meet and I wish him every success in his business.” Moira Fitzpatrick
“I have two boys ages 15 and 11 who have trained with a number of different trainers over the past few years. Christian was the first one who got them genuinely excited about the prospect of training. He made it fun and educational while at the same time pushing them to their individual limits and challenging them to be their best. I would highly recommend Christian to anyone looking for a tier one trainer and massage therapist.” Murray Munro
“So few trainers have your talent for keeping their clients motivated and focused while laughing and smiling the whole time.’’ Trina
“A massage with Christian is a massage from one of the best! Before my first session, Christian and I sat down and spoke a lot about what trouble I had, mainly with my back and he explained what he planned on helping me with! 2 sessions later, absolutely no pain and it is now a weekly session to help with maintaining strength! Amazing!” Luke H
