Muscle And Body Shape (MBS) has developed a solid track record of transforming ordinary bodies into extraordinary physiques and assisting ordinary athletes place high at prime national and international fitness and body sculpting competitions.

We offer 3-, 6- and 12-month memberships to suit your goals, lifestyle and budget. We also offer $9 casual visits if you want the freedom to train without being tied down to a contract.

Our programs have been developed by George Tabban (a.k.a. The Godfather of Bodybuilding) and perfected and refined by his son, Michael Tabban, a leader in the Australian Figure and Body Sculpting industry. They are facilitated by their hand-picked personal trainers at both of our prime locations – MBS Richmond and MBS Prahran.

Not only do we have more pin-loaded and free weight equipment than most gyms in the area, but we also offer fitness classes from Yoga and Pilates to Spin,  Boxing, Circuit and Zumba so you can have fun downsizing your thighs and zip into your best body ever!

Imagine hitting longer drives on the golf course and harder serves on the tennis court … imagine being able to catch up to your kids and grandkids while playing ball … Imagine being able to climb flights of stairs without puffing like a steam engine!  Does it all sound like an impossible dream?

Book a casual visit and come on down to MBS to see how we transform ordinary bodies, turning them into magnificent, healthy looking physiques.

If you like what you see at our facilities,  then our friendly reception staff will advise you as to how a typical membership works. Our trainers are experienced in all levels of skill and strength and if you choose a personal training package,  then (at an additional cost) a trainer,  together with you will develop a program based upon your personal needs to achieve your goals.

Why join Muscle & Body Shape Gyms.

We breed champions. MBS guides and assists ordinary individuals like you collect first-place trophies at prime national and international fitness, model and body sculpting competitions. One member for example, a 50-year old mother of three won the World Title in New York and seven other body sculpting competitions. Imagine, being 50+ and looking so fabulous!

We have experienced, multi-award winning athlete trainers in our clubs! MBS trainers have won one or multiple muscle and fitness competitions – they are not just personal trainers. Many of them are competing world-class athletes.

A reciprocal membership gives you access to multiple gyms! We have two spacious modern gyms here in Melbourne – MBS Richmond and MBS Prahran and can also offer clients free entry at a number of other facilities across Australia with our interstate partner gyms arrangement.

Our gyms are popular but not crowded. Unlike other gyms, we cap our membership numbers to avoid overcrowding so that you can get on a  treadmill or free-weight machine without having to stand around endlessly waiting for your turn!

Our members range from early 20s to late 60s! You’re never too young or old to train. No matter what your age or body shape, you will feel comfortable training at MBS.

People come here to train and not to show off or intimidate others.

There is no point joining a gym where you don’t feel comfortable. The happy and supportive atmosphere in our gyms will put you at ease and ready to hit the weights and focus on your goals instead of feeling embarrassed or intimidated.

No aggressive sales techniques. Many fitness centres probe their members with leading questions and sales techniques to determine how much you can afford to pay – WE WON’T DO THAT! Our pricing is fixed, no matter what your income.

We have different plans to suit YOUR needs and YOUR budget. We make it easy for you to fit our membership into your life… we offer you several membership plans so you can choose the one that suits you best.

Imagine losing several dress sizes or belt notches!

Imagine being able to fit into your ‘skinny’ clothes again .

Imagine stripping down to your bathers at the pool without feeling self-conscious .

Sound good?

Whether you want to drop some kilos or gain muscle, improve your fitness and flexibility levels, or simply create a solid foundation for a physique of granite, the SHAPE program will help you get in the best shape of your life – FAST!

Transform your body in minimum time!

If you want a swimsuit figure or a toned and defined physique without stacking on bulky muscle, then the SHAPE program could be just what you need.

SHAPE is a weight training program that works. In fact, we GUARANTEE that in just 4 short weeks you will see or feel a difference in your looks, wellbeing and energy levels.

The SHAPE program helps you achieve rapid results in minimum time. Whether you want to lose weight in the arms, hips, thighs, abs or buttocks or turn those saddle bags and wobbly bits into lean muscle, the SHAPE program will work and define every part of your body to produce symmetry, definition and a balanced toned physique.

This program is ideal for women and men who are out of shape and at risk of serious health problems, right up to elite athlete level, figure competitors and aspiring body sculptors.

The SHAPE program was created by Muscle And Body Shape (MBS) Gym founder, the legendary ‘Grandmaster Flex’, George Tabban.

George has travelled the globe, competing and winning some of the most demanding international bodybuilding contests and events.

Respected by many bodybuilders as the ‘godfather of modern bodybuilding’, George has identified and developed a rapid body transformation system which has been recently refined by his son Michael for MBS.

George and Michael are Australia’s finest body transformation experts who through years of experimentation and practice have discovered the best techniques for creating toned, balanced and athletic frames for their clients. They have personally selected and trained some of the best personal trainers in Australia to give you access to the best body transformation system.

You can look fabulous at any age with SHAPE!

The SHAPE program is designed to help you lose body fat and add lean muscle tone and definition without “bulking up” …

You just want a swimsuit figure or a herculean body without having veins popping up everywhere when you flex those muscles, right?

But the SHAPE program will do more for you than just this.

The SHAPE program will help you develop core strength, good muscles and connective tissue needed for you to LOOK and FEEL sexy.

A scientific body sculpting system

Clients start off with full-body training sessions, then move on to SHAPE’s Split Training program: they work with their trainer four times per week, focusing on one or two different muscle groups each session.

Before jumping into more advanced techniques you trainer will teach you basic exercises that stimulate a large amount of muscle mass – it’s the fastest way to lose weight!

Those special exercises will maximise your metabolism to melt fat cells, tone muscle and give you your dream figure that will turn heads at the local pool, beach and even in your bedroom.

You will work with a personal trainer to make the most of this program.

Your MBS trainer will explain:

• The optimal duration for your weight training

• What set of exercises are best suited for your body type and goals

• Whether a slow and steady method or fast and furious is better for you

• How to maintain your motivation when training

• How to turn a boring workout into an exciting challenge

• How to ensure you don’t overtax your muscles

You need to understand what intensity, duration and type of exercises will optimise your metabolic burn rate so that you can achieve maximum fat loss while at the same time maintaining lean, sexy muscles.

That’s what SHAPE is all about!

Because the combination of weights and diet is essential for creating a slim, toned and attractive body, we also focus on your nutrition requirements.

Forget about starving yourself to death or constant calorie counting!

As part of the SHAPE program you will understand why to avoid certain forms of carbohydrates at certain hours of the day and what foods will boost calorie wasting and liberate stored body fat to be used as energy.

You’ll learn that by making SMART eating choices you can melt those fat cells, tone muscle and chisel your body into a magnificent shape.

SHAPE is suitable for both men and women and can be adapted to suit all body types and fitness levels. A qualified and experienced personal trainer will tweak and modify the program to suit your body type, fitness level and goals.

Participating in the SHAPE program is not just about showing up and going through the motion of exercise. It’s about creating an all-round healthy, active lifestyle that will keep you looking great and feeling fantastic.

That’s our ultimate goal for you!

Our clients love our friendly atmosphere, and come to our facility not to show off or ‘pick up’, but are focused and ready to train and achieve results.

An IDEAL environment for RAPID RESULTS!

You’ll be surrounded by other driven and disciplined individuals and serious athletes who are here to encourage and motivate you.

In this environment, naturally, you will feel motivated to step up and make the most of the time that you spend in the gym, and you might even consider participating in body sculpting competitions yourself.

We at MBS excel at preparing men and women for body sculpting competitions and can assist in taking you from where you are today to getting the toned, slim fabulous body of your dreams – fast!

If you want to lose body fat, become stronger, or simply look and feel your very best no matter what your age (yes, even if you are in your 50s, 60s and beyond!) then the SHAPE program could be just what you are looking for.

Simply give us a call MBS Richmond on 9427 8735 to discuss whether this program is right for you.

You won’t believe how this scientific body transformation program will make you feel and look, just 4 short weeks from today!

Do you feel like you’re working your butt off in the gym and yet still find yourself struggling to lose the weight you want and keep it off?

Are you looking to get back in shape and maintain your ideal weight?

Would you like to be able to spend fewer hours in the gym stretching, flexing and pumping iron and more time doing the things that you love?

That’s why we have designed the MBS 16-Week Body Transformation program to help people just like you get the body you want and KEEP IT!

It’s a perfect program for all those ordinary individuals who want to transform their problem areas and achieve and maintain their optimum fitness and health.

WARNING! This program is not recommended for beginners.

If you’re a beginner, then it is important to build a solid foundation and should be your first priority. Our SHAPE program focuses on those fundamental exercises that strengthen your ligaments, tissue and support muscles and is perfect preparation for this level of advanced training.

You probably don’t want to win a marathon or become an elite athlete … you just want a fabulous body without the bulky muscles.

This advanced program is not for everyone!

A condition of undertaking the MBS 16-Week Body Transformation program is that you must train four times per week with an MBS Personal Trainer throughout the 16 weeks. No excuses

You want to achieve your dream body and by signing up to this program we promise that we will commit to our side of the bargain as long as you commit to yours.

If you have not been training in the SHAPE program at MBS, you will need to do at least 1-2 weeks of full body personal training sessions with an MBS Personal Trainer before starting the Body Transformation.

All new clients, regardless of experience level must start with at least one full body session. These sessions are designed to get you READY for this advanced style training and make sure you have the strength, endurance and mental toughness needed to participate in this program.

You will also be required to attend weekly progress meetings with your trainer and to follow your trainer’s instructions to the best of your ability throughout the entire 16 weeks.

If you have a lot of weight to lose or are way out-of-shape, then two consecutive Body Transformation programs might be needed to attain the desired results.

We will tailor a specific nutrition plan, cardio and extra exercise plan (up to eight hours per week) to your personal needs that the program requires you to follow.

The cost of the 16-Week Body Transformation Program is just $499 and requires full payment upfront.

That’s less than $32 per week or less than $4.50 per day for a personalised, cutting-edge 16-week training program that gives you access to the most advanced training science that guarantees results.

Get the body you want…in NO TIME!

Sure you can train on your own or look to glossy magazines and scour Internet forums for the latest tips. However, after spending over 50 years in the industry we know from experience that you’ll be successful sooner and with less effort the moment you get the right help.

Experimentation with fad diets and exercise regimes is not the fastest way to get results, and when you want to get back into shape you want to do it NOW!

Participating in this program will give you incredible clarity of what exercises, diet and lifestyle changes can sculpt your body into its best shape ever. You will learn to train smarter, eat smarter and focus better. You will also get to know your body better and understand what works and what doesn’t for you.

You will stop wasting time in the gym going through endless routines week after week that never produce the desired results.

By the end of week 12 of the 16-Week Body Transformation program you will have achieved a visible, dramatic transformation!

Call MBS Richmond on 9427 8735 to arrange a meeting with your trainer to discuss your goals and decide whether the 16-Week Body Transformation program is right for you.

• Final Week Instructions. How do you reach PEAK condition on comp day? During this final week we’ll show you how to manipulate one or all of the following elements: water, salt, carbohydrates, fats, proteins, weight training, cardio and other variables in order to chisel your body into an ultra lean physique that makes the judges sit up and pay attention.
• Professional, Full Body Uniform. Participants will be fitted with an MBS team full body uniform, the right shoes and personal apparel to maximise your chances of scoring points with the judges.

• Mentoring and Support.

Competing is a tough personal battle that can be a draining and stressful experience IF you’re on your own. By being part of the MBS team you will get the support and guidance of others who have already gone through the exact same process – more than once!
• Routine Choreography and Lessons. Competitors need to perform a 60-90 second individual posing routine designed to highlight and ‘advertise’ your physique. We can develop, choreograph and teach you a routine that showcases your best muscle groups and all of the required poses for the show.
• Music Editing. Your routine will be performed to your individual choice of music. The music you choose needs to compliment your physique and personality. We can help you choose the right music that will be natural for you to pose to, while being unique enough to keep your onlookers and judges entertained!

Comp is where the rubber meets the road!

What you need is a resilient mindset and the support of a knowledgeable and experienced team to help you makes all the difference.

Look magnificent when you say ‘I do!’

At MBS our speciality is transforming bodies…

We assist ordinary, overweight and out-of-shape brides- and grooms-to-be sculpt their bodies into toned and athletic magnificent physiques.

This breakthrough program was developed and tested by the legendary George Tabban (a.k.a. The Godfather of Bodybuilding), with a focus on transforming your shape and creating a head-turning physique in minimum time.

George has over 47 years experience in bodybuilding, body shaping, training and fitness. He has trained with the world’s best, developing skills and knowledge as a trainer through experience, experimentation and research.

Wedding Makeovers was refined by his son, Michael Tabban, a leader in the Australian Figure and Body Sculpting industry, and the secret training ‘formula’ was then passed on to his hand-picked personal trainers.

If you want to shape up for the big day then Wedding Makeovers could do for you what it did for the following happy clients…

Say ‘bye-bye’ to those flabby arms and thickening waistline that could ruin your wedding photos!

Worried about your butt, thighs and cellulite?

How about the beer belly, flabby arms and nasty saggy bits, do you want to lose them too?

OF COURSE YOU DO!!

Well if you want to look your best on your wedding day then we suggest you book an appointment to see how Wedding Makeovers can transform your body in time for the big day.

We understand – you don’t want to bulk up for your wedding day, you just want to drop some kilos and tone up so that you can enjoy the big day without feeling self-conscious about your appearance.

Have you ever wondered what elite athletes and celebrities do to look so HOT?

We know the secret. Why? Because we train many of them! They follow a specific, personalised nutrition plan that we individually tailor just for them.

Mainstream diets don’t work for most people because they are not uniquely tailored to the individual. Imagine putting on weight with every bite you take… well, that’s what happens when you follow the wrong diet for your body type and body chemistry. But the other side is also true, there are certain foods that when combined with the right exercise will help you melt that fat like a blast furnace!

Your trainer will not only train your body, but assist you in making SMART eating choices so you can achieve your dream body by the big day.

Of course, elite athletes and A-list celebrities do more than eat right to look sexy…

To sculpt your body into a fabulous masterpiece you also need to follow a specific, personalised cardio plan.

As part of the Wedding Makeovers program, your personalised cardio plan will focus on your personal ‘problem areas’ to burn fat, increase metabolism transform your body into a perfectly toned physique. And this will all happen quickly, as we teach you how to cross train to achieve the best, fastest results.

This program is all about exercising smarter NOT about excessive gruelling hours in the gym!

The reason most people don’t achieve their dream body is because they lose focus and they don’t track their progress. They are not accountable to anyone and so they get lazy. All of a sudden, that out of shape person staring at you every time you walk past shop windows…is you. Not for you, not anymore. At Wedding Makeover we leave NOTHING to chance.

That’s why part of the Wedding Makeover program is a scheduled weekly weigh-in and meeting with your trainer to monitor your progress. We know that the big day is important for you and you want to look your best!

If you find you’re not making progress – it won’t last long! Your personal trainer will make any needed adjustments in nutrition, cardio and weight training to keep you moving towards your dream body.

You see, following somebody else’s diet plan or exercise routine is the fastest way for failure. A diet that works for Jennifer Aniston or George Clooney, for example, may have a totally negative effect on your body. Everyone is different and that’s why your personal trainer will keep close tabs on your individual progress.

Your trainer will show you how to scientifically and step-by-step carve every part of your body into its best shape ever. Imagine that!

You won’t believe how healthy (and yes, fabulous!) you will look!

You will not only look amazing on your wedding day but you will also look hot on your honeymoon too.

We offer everything the bride-to-be needs to transform her body. Of course we also cater for the groom, bridesmaids, the whole wedding party if you like!

Get the firm butt, lean thighs, slim arms and toned backside that will make your wedding dress look FANTASTIC!

Perhaps you hate the unattractive and out-of-shape person that stares at you each time you look in the mirror. Maybe you’d feel uncomfortable for that person to be walking down the aisle on the big day in front of your family and friends!

That’s where MBS Wedding Makeover program comes to the rescue… it can transform the body you don’t want into a magnificent figure that will make your wedding dress and photos look sensational, giving you happy memories for decades to come.

You’ll look great … feel amazing … and you’ll be one head-turning hottie!

Team MBS 2010 has capped off a successful year by winning three Overall titles and numerous places at World-level competitions in the USA.

In 2010 Team MBS, the natural bodysculpting team trained by Michael Tabban Personal Training, comprised about 35 figure, sports model and bodybuilding athletes from MBS Gyms in Melbourne and Michael Tabban Online Training clients from Victoria and Queensland.

The year began with the WNBF NSW Championships and WNBF Victorian Championships in September. After the Qld WNBF show was cancelled the online group of Team MBS competitors (trained by Jasmin Higgs) had to put forward their competition preparation by two weeks in order to do the NSW show, and despite this they managed to pull off the Overall titles in Ms Fit Body and USA Figure (Mel Reynolds) and Women’s Bodybuilding (Sandra Lang) as well as three other 1st places, four 2nd places and a 3rd place. The following weekend when the MBS-based group competed at the Vics Jane Watts took out Overall Ms Fit Body, Jodi Sheafe won Overall USA Figure, Shemarrah Davis won Overall Best Body Swimsuit and Vicky Turner won Overall Women’s Bodybuilding. There were five other 1st places and numerous 2nd and 3rd places.

Jane Watts (trained by Areti Anagnostellis) continued her winning streak, taking out Overall Figure titles at the ANB Victorian Championships and INBA Victorian Championships and Overall USA Figure title at the WNBF Asia-Pacific Championships, and didn’t slow down when she hit New York.

We were fortunate to have such a strong group of athletes this year, as the WNBF/INBF World Championships and FAME World Championships fell on the exact same date – 13th Nov – on opposite sides of the USA. Thanks to the large number of athletes and the success of team fundraising events at the 1000 Steps, Comedy Club and last but not least Waterfront Venues at Docklands were able to take two teams of seven, one to New York for the WNBF/INBF and one to Las Vegas for FAME.

In New York there was tough competition with up to 17 athletes in some divisions, but the the yankees didn’t stand a chance against Jane Watts, who won both the INBF Ms Fit Body Overall and INBF USA Figure Overall titles. Her wins entitle her to a Pro Card, enabling her to compete on the WNBF Pro circuit (in Australia there is the one federation, WNBF Australia, for amatuers whereas in the US the WNBF is the Pro federation and the INBF is the amateur federation).

Meanwhile Anita Nicolaou (trained by Michael Tabban, and who earned her Pro card in 2009) performed strongly as always to win Overall WNBF Ms Fit Body and 1st place in INBF Figure Tall. Novice athlete Chelsea Thomas (trained by Haytham Bakri), who had won a string of 1st places in Australia, continued to do well on the INBF World stage, taking out a 2nd in USA Figure Tall, 3rd in Ms Fit Body Tall and 4th in Best Body Swimsuit. Vicky Turner and Samantha Draper took 2nd in INBF Women’s Bodybuilding and INBF Ms Fit Body Short respectively. Lesley Maxwell put in a stellar effort to get up on stage despite being quite unwell on the day, and managed a 4th in Ms Fit Body Tall. Paulo Freitag fought hard but missed out on a placing in a tough men’s Bodybuilding lineup.

Over in Las Vegas the FAME experience in fact began the day before the competition, with the Bodyproud Showcase. At this event almost every athlete takes two minutes to stand up in front of their fellow athletes, promoters and judges and tell their story. It was amazing to hear the obstacles some had overcome, such as losing over 100lb or escaping extreme poverty, and after hearing these stories it meant even more seeing these athletes on stage. Some of Team MBS had their own difficult stories to tell, and all wowed the audience with their Aussie accents.

On comp day Jodi Sheafe succeeded in a year-long goal by winning Advanced Fitness Model and being granted a FAME Pro card. In Open Figure Jodi took 2nd place, followed by Lia Wassel in 3rd and Mel Murdolo was close behind. In Open Fitness Model in a tough class of 14 competitors Lia made being a pirate look sexy and took out 3rd, while Mel who doesn’t do dresses or pink actually did pink – albeit in a boxer’s costume – and we have the photos to prove it. In Swimsuit Model the gorgeous Tamsin Coles placed a close 2nd. In Fit Duos Jodi Sheafe and Tyler Hope performed a camo-cross-Mr-and-Mrs-Smith routine and took 3rd, after only finding out the day before that their routine had to be 2 minutes rather than 30 seconds! In bodybuilding Tyler put in a solid performance but was out done by bigger guys (he’ll be back with more muscle in a year or two to settle the score). Meanwhile Di Irving and Sue Kamphuis did their team proud in a very tough Masters Figure lineup, and Di strutted her stuff in black lace as a pirate in Masters Fitness Model. While FAME includes the traditional Figure and Bodybuilding divisions there is also a big emphasis on model-type divisions, where the top athletes not only have great physiques but also strong stage presence and charisma.
