Training with Britt has been amazing for my hormone issues. She really gets how PCOS affects my energy and weight, and created a program that actually works with my body. I’ve lost 8kg and feel more confident than I have in years.

I was nervous about strength training, thinking I’d get bulky. Michaela showed me how wrong I was! I’m now stronger than ever, my clothes fit perfectly, and I love how toned my arms look. She made the gym feel like a safe space.

After having my second baby, I thought I’d never feel strong again. My trainer understood exactly what my body needed and helped me rebuild my core properly. Six months later, I’m fitter than before pregnancy!

I love that my trainer understands women’s bodies and cycles. She adjusts my workouts based on how I’m feeling, and it’s made such a difference. No more forcing myself through brutal sessions when my energy is low.

The home sessions are perfect for my busy life as a mum. Britt brings everything to me, and I can train while the kids nap. It’s convenient, effective, and I don’t have to worry about gym childcare or feeling self-conscious.

Working with a trainer who’s also a woman made all the difference. She understood my body image struggles and helped me build genuine confidence. I actually look forward to working out now instead of dreading it.

Michaela’s combination of personal training, yoga, and Pilates is exactly what I needed. She created this perfect blend that keeps me strong, flexible, and centred. It’s like having three specialists in one amazing trainer.

Women's health

Why Choose a Female Trainer?

A female trainer can make it easier to ask about cycles, pregnancy, menopause or body image without feeling awkward, and many women tell us they train better when the person beside them understands their experience first-hand. That ease builds confidence, and confident clients stick with their training for longer. It also opens the door to women's health questions that rarely get a proper conversation in a mixed gym.

Personal Training Designed Specifically for Women

Our personal training designed specifically for women starts with how you live, then shapes the program around it. A woman juggling shift work and kids needs a different structure from one training for a first fun run.

Women's Health Needs Built Into Your Program

We plan around energy shifts across the month, recovery after birth and changes through perimenopause. If you have a health condition or injury, check with your GP first, then we adjust the training to match.

Training styles

Which Training Styles Suit You: Strength, Conditioning or Mobility?

Most women do best with a mix of strength, conditioning and mobility work, chosen for your goal and how your body responds.

Strength Training and Resistance Training

Strength training and resistance training build muscle and keep you strong for everyday life. They suit women chasing fat loss, better posture or stronger bones.

  • Squats and deadlift patterns for legs, hips and back
  • Rows and presses for shoulders and upper body
  • Carries and core work for stability

Progressive Overload: How Weights Increase Safely

Progressive overload means we add load, reps or control in small steps, only once your technique holds up. It keeps strength gains steady without leaving you sore for days.

Kettlebell Training for Full-Body Power

Kettlebell training teaches hips, back and shoulders to work together. It's a time-efficient exercise choice for building strength in a 45-minute session.

HIIT, Endurance and Functional Training

  • High-intensity interval training: short, hard efforts with rest breaks, good for time-poor women.
  • Endurance training: steady work that suits anyone building fitness for a sport or event.
  • Functional training: movements like squatting, carrying and pushing that carry over to daily life.
  • Circuit training: rotating stations that mix strength and cardio in one session.

Reformer Pilates and Mobility Work

Reformer Pilates and mobility drills improve control, posture and joint range. They suit women who feel stiff, are recovering from injury or want a gentler way to start exercise.

Postnatal Exercise and Pelvic Floor Support

Postnatal exercise begins gently and builds with your recovery, whatever your delivery. We pair it with guidance from your GP or physio where needed.

Pelvic Floor Exercise Before Heavier Lifting

Pelvic floor exercise and breathing come first, so your core can handle load safely. Once that feels solid, we progress strength work step by step.

  • Check in with your GP or physio.
  • Start with breathing and gentle core activation.
  • Add light resistance work.
  • Build towards heavier lifting as you feel ready.

Nutrition coaching

Fat Loss, Muscle and Nutrition Coaching

Your program works best when training, food and tracking pull in the same direction. We coach you through all three, so fat loss and muscle gain happen together rather than competing.

A Nutrition Plan You Can Keep

We build a simple nutrition plan around the meals you already eat, then adjust it as your goal changes. For extra support, we can point you towards a PT and nutritionist in Prahran for a deeper food review.

How Does Fat Loss Coaching Work?

Fat loss coaching starts with a modest calorie gap, regular strength sessions and a weekly check-in with your coach. Steady weight loss like this is easier to keep than a crash approach, and it protects the muscle you're building.

Body Composition Analysis and Progress Tracking

A body composition analysis shows how much of your weight is fat and how much is muscle, which the scales can't tell you. We repeat it at set points, so you can see progress even when your weight barely moves.

Building Strength and Confidence

As lifts get heavier, you feel strong in everyday life, and that carries into how you move and train. We build confidence by setting small targets you can hit each fortnight.

Pricing

Prices and Cost: $100 per 45-Minute Session

Per session

$100 / 45 min

What Does a Session Cost?

Our prices are simple: one 45-minute session is $100. Three sessions at $100 come to $300, and four sessions come to $400. There are no extra fees to decode.

Affordable Does Not Mean Cheap

We keep sessions affordable without cutting corners on coaching quality. Cheap training that doesn't suit you costs more in the end, so each client gets a plan matched to their goal, and we're happy to look at how it fits your budget.

How often

Is $100 per Session Worth It, and How Often Should You Train?

Yes, for most women the value comes from a structured week, not a single workout. We usually recommend pairing coached training with a daily step target and a solid nutrition plan.

Two Strength and Two Cardio Sessions in a Balanced Week

A typical week has two strength sessions and two cardio sessions, plus a daily step target. You can arrange them around work and family, and not every exercise block needs to be with us. If you're unsure, start with one session and talk through two a week before committing.

Certified Female Personal Trainers: Qualifications to Look For

Certified female personal trainers in Melbourne should be able to show you their credentials, and you're entitled to ask. A good coach will happily explain what they hold and how you can check it.

What a Certificate IV in Fitness Covers

The Certificate IV in Fitness is the standard entry qualification for personal training. It covers anatomy, screening a client's health, safe exercise technique and how to build a program around a goal. Ask to see the certificate itself, not just a mention of it.

Exercise & Sports Science Australia Registration Explained

Exercise & Sports Science Australia is the professional body that keeps a register of members, so you can look a trainer up yourself. Registration is a sign they keep their skills current.

Questions Worth Asking Before You Book

  • Which qualification do you hold, and can I see it?
  • How do you adjust a program for a client's injuries?
  • Can I read reviews from clients with goals like mine?

Training in parks

What Is the Permit Rule for Training in Melbourne's Parks?

Any individual or business running personal training or group instruction on public land for commercial gain needs a permit from the City of Melbourne. That applies whether you train in Fawkner Park or near the Melbourne central business district.

Does a Trainer Need a Permit to Train in a Park?

Yes. A trainer charging for sessions on public land needs that permit, so ask any park-based trainer whether they hold one. The SIS40221 Certificate IV in Fitness reflects the personal trainer role, and it's the qualification we'd expect them to hold.

Melbourne Verified Local Facts

The City of Melbourne states that any individual or business running personal training or group instruction on public land for commercial gain needs a permit. The City of Melbourne personal training permits page sets out the rule.

  • Ask about the permit before a public park session.
  • Check the trainer's certificate.
  • Confirm session length and prices up front.

Studio, mobile and outdoor

Studio, Mobile and Outdoor Sessions Across Melbourne

We train women in a private studio, at home and outdoors, so you can choose the setting you'll actually turn up to.

Mobile Personal Training Near Me: Is It Available?

Yes, mobile personal training is available. We bring the equipment to your home, building gym or a nearby park, which suits a busy lifestyle and removes travel time. Ask us whether your suburb is covered when you enquire.

Inner South-East and East Suburbs

Our studio sessions draw women from South Yarra, Prahran, Richmond, Armadale, Malvern, Hawthorn, Kew, Camberwell and Glen Iris. Mobile sessions reach the same areas.

CBD, Bayside and Northside

We also train in the CBD (the Melbourne central business district), Docklands and Southbank, as well as Port Melbourne, Albert Park, Elwood and Brighton. On the northside, we cover Fitzroy, Northcote and Brunswick.

Fawkner Park and Albert Park Outdoor Sessions

Fresh-air sessions at Fawkner Park and Albert Park work well for conditioning, walking intervals and bodyweight exercise. Wet weather moves us indoors or to your home.

Choosing a coach

How to Find the Best Female Personal Trainer in Melbourne

To find the best female personal trainer in Melbourne, compare a few trainers side by side on the same points.

Which Qualities Matter Most in a Coach?

A coach who listens first and explains why each exercise is in your plan matters most. Sport experience helps, because athletes know how to build progressions and handle setbacks. Ask how they adjust fitness work when you're tired, injured or short on time.

Group Fitness Trainer or One-on-One Personal Trainer?

Choose one-on-one coaching if you want technique feedback and a plan built around your goals, and group sessions if you like company and a lower price per head. A background as both a group fitness trainer and a personal trainer means a coach can run energetic classes and also tailor a program to one person. Many trainers offer both, so ask which you'd get.

Checking Reviews Without Being Misled

Read reviews for detail, such as how a trainer handled a plateau or a niggle, rather than star counts alone. Recent, specific comments are more reliable than generic praise. The best match is the trainer whose approach you can picture sticking with for months.
