Over the past year, training with Anthony and the Australian Fitness Network team has been transformative. Each session is carefully tailored to my individual needs with clear focus on reaching my goals. I’ve seen significant improvements in my general fitness and strength while feeling more energised and confident.

Despite regular exercise previously, I achieved a 6.5kg weight loss through Armstrong’s 6-week program. His extensive knowledge and attentive approach created a personalised program perfectly suited to my goals. The dietary recommendations were practical and easy to follow.

Armstrong took time to understand my fitness goals and asked insightful questions. His ability to shift my mindset from just weight loss to overall health and strength made all the difference. The personalised approach helped me achieve sustainable long-term results.

Where do I start with this amazing woman! Talya is a trainer like no other. I finally found someone who understands me, my fitness needs, and listens to my goals. After 6 months, I’m loving the results and our sessions are both fun and challenging.

★★★★★
Armstrong’s expertise in connecting mind and body has been invaluable. He helped me understand if I was working the right muscle groups and performing exercises correctly. His knowledge extends beyond general fitness to include posture, alignment, and meditation practices.

Personal Trainer, Port Melbourne: 1:1 and 2:1 Training in a Boutique Studio

Looking for a personal trainer in Port Melbourne? Australian Fitness Network runs 1:1 and 2:1 personal training in a well-equipped boutique studio, a short trip from Bay Street.

Our personal trainer Port Melbourne service is built around private sessions where your trainer’s attention stays on you. We’re based in Port Melbourne, Melbourne, Victoria, and every session is planned around your fitness, schedule and goals. Sessions are $100 per 45 minutes, with coaching that helps you perform every movement with confidence.

Studio training compared with big-box gyms

Big gyms give you equipment and leave the rest to you. In our studio, which feels more like a private gym than a crowded one, your trainer demonstrates each exercise, corrects technique and adjusts the load the moment it feels too easy or too hard. That is fitness training you can’t get from a machine card or class timetable.

  • $100Per 45-minute session. The same rate for every client, with no other fees added.
  • 1:1 / 2:1Private sessions. Train solo, or with a partner or friend. Never group training.
  • Boutique studio, Port Melbourne. A short trip from Bay Street.
  • Trainer contact within 48 hours. Your coach is never a stranger on the day.
  • Female trainer on request. Just mention it when you enquire.

Private 1:1 and 2:1 Sessions With Qualified Trainers

Our rate is simple and the same for every client, so you can weigh the cost against what you get before you get in touch.

Session rate

$100 / 45 min

Sessions include individualised exercise prescription

Each session includes individualised exercise prescription: the exercises, loads and progressions are chosen for your body, your weight and your goal, then adjusted as you improve, so you aren’t repeating a generic routine.

  • Available as 1:1 or 2:1 personal training
  • No other fees added to this rate

Price vs value

Cheap versus best value: what to compare

The cheapest option isn’t always the best one. When you compare personal trainers, look at session length, how much one-on-one attention you get and whether the plan is built for you. Then ask for the full rate in writing. You can enquire with us and get free quotes in minutes by asking about a first session.

Before your first session

What Happens Before and During Your First Session

Once you sign up, Australian Fitness Network lays the groundwork so your first workout counts. It takes a few minutes and gives your trainer a clear picture of your health and starting point. We ask for these so your plan is specific from day one:

  1. 1

    Initial questionnaire

    An initial questionnaire covering your health, history and any past injury.

  2. 2

    Your numbers

    Your age, height and weight, which we use to build a high-protein meal plan and shape your nutrition.

  3. 3

    Starting photos

    Full-body front and back photos to record where your body starts, so progress is visible later.

Apple Health or Fitbit step tracking from day one

Connect Apple Health or Fitbit and we can follow your daily steps. Tracking food and movement early gives us a baseline for fat loss and body composition changes.

When does your program start?

Your program officially begins at your first session. Your trainer contacts you within 48 hours of sign-up, so your coach is never a stranger on the day. In week one, work through the guides in the vault as well.

How we train

Strength, Conditioning and Body Composition Programs

Our programs combine strength training, conditioning and sensible recovery, with coaching that adjusts as you improve.

Whether you want to build muscle, lift your fitness or change your body composition, each workout has a purpose.

Strength training that starts with the squat

We use strength training to build a base you can load safely, and the squat is usually where we begin. We watch depth, knee tracking and bracing first, because that is how you avoid injury and keep progressing. We add load only once each step feels controlled.

Conditioning, HIIT and aerobic exercise

Conditioning mixes steady aerobic exercise with harder efforts to lift your physical fitness and stamina. High-intensity interval training is effective but demanding, so we space it around your strength days. Recovery protects your performance in the next workout.

Weight loss and mental health benefits

For weight loss, we pair training with your nutrition and step targets. Many clients also notice better mood and energy, which supports mental health. Functional training keeps sessions useful for daily life.

Squat technique

Depth, knee tracking and bracing first, then load.

Conditioning

Steady aerobic work to lift your stamina.

HIIT

Hard intervals, spaced around your strength days.

Functional training

Sessions that stay useful for daily life.

Outdoor workouts

Free Outdoor Fitness Stations in Port Melbourne and Albert Park

Sessions run in our studio or wherever our mobile trainers meet you, and many clients add a free outdoor workout between visits.

Clients use council fitness stations or take a longer walk in Albert Park by the bay. For training between sessions, the council’s outdoor fitness stations page lists Cook Reserve (corner of Evans and Swallow streets) and Morris Reserve (Ross Street) in Port Melbourne among its eight council-managed sites.

Check the rule before you train outdoors

The City of Port Phillip‘s Personal Training licence page states that personal trainers and fitness groups operating on public land within the City of Port Phillip must have a licence agreement with Council.

Easy outdoor additions

  • A brisk walk to warm up before a station circuit.
  • Bodyweight work your trainer has shown you.
  • A relaxed recovery walk on a rest day.

Qualifications & insurance

Qualifications, Insurance and Female Trainer Options

You should know who is coaching you before you book, so we encourage every client to ask for proof.

What qualifications should a trainer hold?

A current qualification in fitness or exercise science is the baseline, along with the ability to explain how they plan exercise prescription around your health history. Ask whether your coach holds Exercise & Sports Science Australia registration and a current CPR certification. A good trainer will show you without hesitation.

Insurance cover

Check that they carry professional indemnity insurance and public liability insurance. Both protect you if something goes wrong.

Women’s health and female trainer choice

Some clients feel more comfortable training with a female trainer, especially when women’s health is part of their goals. When we match a client with a coach, rapport and comfort count as much as technical skill, and we are happy to talk through your preference when you enquire.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a personal trainer cost in Melbourne?

Rates vary by trainer, session length and whether you train one-on-one or with a partner. With Australian Fitness Network, 1:1 and 2:1 personal training is $100 per 45 minutes, with the trainer guiding your technique and progressions throughout.

Is $300 a month a lot for a personal trainer?

The monthly figure matters less than how often you train and what each session includes. At $100 per 45 minutes, you’re paying for coached sessions with a program matched to your goals. Weigh it against how consistently you’d show up without that structure.

Is $400 a month a lot for a personal trainer?

Judge it against your goals, how often you train, and whether nutrition support and recovery guidance are part of the picture. If you want regular coaching and accountability, a budget like that can buy steady, well-guided progress.

Where is your personal training studio in Port Melbourne?

Our boutique studio is in Port Melbourne, a short trip from Bay Street. We also offer mobile personal training, where your trainer comes to your home, a local park or your workplace.

Can I book a female personal trainer in Port Melbourne?

Yes. Tell us when you enquire and we’ll arrange a female trainer.

Do personal trainers need a licence to train in City of Port Phillip parks?

Yes. The City of Port Phillip states that personal trainers and fitness groups operating on public land within the municipality must have a licence agreement with Council, so ask any trainer offering outdoor sessions whether they hold one.
