I’ve been training with Fitness Image for 10 weeks and couldn’t be happier! Started at 84kg and now I’m down to 76kg. My fitness has improved dramatically and I feel so much stronger overall.

As someone who never exercised before, I was nervous. But Kevin has been incredibly patient and understanding. I went from not being able to do a single push-up to doing 12-15 easily!

Common worries before starting personal training

Fitness Network client before and after personal trainingBeforeAfter

It’s hard to keep going when your week gets turned upside down. We’ll help you adjust your plan on busy weeks and get back into it after a break. You won’t have to work out your next step alone.

Personal Trainers in Adelaide SA

Private Personal Training Built Around Your Goals

If you want a personal trainer Adelaide locals can book for private, one-on-one sessions, we offer personal training at $110 per 45min session. Every session is planned around your goals, your health and your schedule. Enquire or book a consultation and we'll map out your first four weeks together.

In our experience, people rarely stall from lack of effort. They stall because they repeat the same exercise every week with no plan for progression, so the body stops adapting.

  • $110Per 45-minute session. Private, one-on-one coaching.
  • Your first four weeks mapped out after your consultation.
  • A plan for progression, so your body keeps adapting.
  • Planned around your schedule, work, family and lifestyle.

One-on-one coaching

Looking for a Personal Trainer in Adelaide?

What One-on-One Personal Training Looks Like

Each private session is just you and your qualified trainer. We set the exercises, loads and pace for your body, then adjust them as you improve. It is personalised training Adelaide residents can fit around work, family and lifestyle.

Who This Suits: First-Timers Through to Returning Athletes

Whether you're new to a gym or coming back to sport, we start from where you are. Every client gets a clear goal, a plan to reach it and honest feedback.

Many people tell us the biggest change is confidence, long before the scale or the mirror moves. If you want an Adelaide personal trainer who keeps the plan simple and the coaching direct, that is how we work.

Your program

Personalised Training Programs for Your Body and Goals

A good program ties each goal to something you can measure, such as a heavier lift, a longer walk or a waist measurement. We act as your fitness coach and review the plan every few weeks. These are the main directions we build around.

Strength Training and Muscle Building

Strength training suits anyone who wants more muscle, better posture or easier daily movement. A typical week has two or three full-body sessions with a few main lifts, steadily progressed. The goal might be a bodyweight squat to full depth, or a target on a barbell lift.

Resistance Training and Core Stability for Everyday Strength

  • Resistance training with free weights, machines or bands, three to four sets per exercise.
  • Core stability work such as planks and carries to protect your back.
  • A measurable result: more reps or load at the same effort.

Weight Loss and Body Composition

Lasting weight loss comes from a sustainable routine, not a crash plan. We track body composition changes such as waist measurement and strength, not just the scale. We aren't a replacement for a nutrition coach or dietitian, but we can work with one and look after the training side.

Aerobic Exercise and High-Intensity Interval Training for Fat Loss

  • Steady aerobic exercise builds your base, such as brisk 30-minute walks or rides.
  • High-intensity interval training uses short hard efforts with rest, once or twice a week.
  • Strength work in the same week helps you keep muscle while you lose fat.

Flexibility Training, Mobility and Sport Conditioning

Stiff hips and shoulders limit most workouts, so we build flexibility training into warm-ups and finishers. Functional training for your sport or hobby, from netball to golf, targets the movements you actually use. Goals might be touching your toes, a deeper lunge or pain-free overhead reach.

Getting started

How a Personal Training Session Works

Every client follows the same path, from the first conversation through to ongoing support. Here is how we run your personal training journey, step by step.

  1. 1

    Your First Consultation and Pre-Exercise Screening

    We start with a conversation about your goal, your schedule and what you want from training. Then we complete pre-exercise screening, a short questionnaire that flags anything we should adjust for before you lift or run.

  2. 2

    Health History, Injuries and Chronic Disease Management

    We ask about past injuries, medications and any chronic disease management you already have in place with your GP. This health picture shapes your first program and tells us when to check with your doctor.

  3. 3

    Inside a 45-Minute Workout

    Each training session runs 45 minutes. We warm up, work through the main lifts or conditioning blocks, then finish with a cool-down and stretch. Sessions run at a gym or studio, and every exercise is coached so your technique stays safe as the load builds.

  4. 4

    Tracking Results and Ongoing Support

    We record your weights, repetitions and measurements so each result is visible, not guessed. Every few weeks we review your numbers and adjust the program. Between sessions you can message us with questions, which helps you achieve steady progress along your journey.

Pricing

Personal Trainer Cost: $110 per 45min Session

The cost of private personal training with us is $110 per 45min session. Budgeting is simple: two sessions a week for two weeks is four sessions, which is $440 (four sessions at $110).

Per session

$110 / 45 min

What Your $110 Session Includes

  • Forty-five minutes of one-on-one coaching with your personal trainer
  • A program built around your goals, adjusted as you improve
  • Progress tracking and support between visits
  • Flexible training for strength, weight management or general fitness

Compare trainers

Cheap Versus Good Value: How to Compare Trainers

A cheap rate can end up costing more if sessions are rushed or unplanned. Some people compare 30 and 60 minute personal training sessions elsewhere, so look at what you get for the time: coaching, a plan and follow-up.

A gym membership costs less per visit, but you train alone. A group class shares a coach's attention. One-on-one sessions suit you when you want technique checked and a plan built for you.

Programs for everyone

Training for Women, Groups and Specific Health Needs

Every client gets a program built around their body, history and schedule. Here is how that plays out for three common groups.

Female Trainer Options and Women's Health Goals

If you'd feel more comfortable training with a female trainer, tell us when you enquire and we'll talk through the options. Many women also come to us with goals tied to women's health, and we plan around them:

  • Pelvic floor comfort and core control after having children
  • Strength work to support bone health through and beyond menopause
  • Building confidence in a weights area you've avoided
Female personal trainers

Group Fitness With Friends or Family

Group fitness works well when you'd rather train alongside someone you know. Bring a friend, partner or family member and we'll set the group's workout so everyone is challenged at their own level, with accountability built in. We run this as inclusive fitness, so mixed ages, abilities and experience levels train together without anyone being left behind.

Rehabilitation Exercise After Injury or Illness

Rehabilitation exercise picks up where your physio or GP has cleared you to move. We work alongside their advice, keeping loads and ranges within what they recommend. Our approach to chronic disease management and health promotion is steady and practical: regular movement, gradual progression and honest feedback on how you're coping.

Exercise & Sports Science Australia Guidelines in Practice

We draw on Exercise & Sports Science Australia guidance when planning safe intensity, progression and rest for clients with health conditions. In practice that means starting conservatively, monitoring symptoms each visit and adjusting the next session accordingly. We're also happy to share progress notes with your health professionals.

The best personal trainer for you is the one who is properly qualified, communicates clearly and suits your goals. Use this checklist before you commit.

Anthony

Qualifications and Credentials to Check

Ask to see current credentials. A qualified trainer should hold a Certificate III and IV in Fitness, often through the Australian Institute of Personal Trainers, or a degree-level qualification registered with Exercise & Sports Science Australia. Then confirm the basics:

  • Current first aid and CPR certificates
  • Public liability and professional indemnity insurance
  • A clear way to reach them between sessions
  • Willingness to explain why they choose each exercise

Finding a Personal Trainer Near Me

Searching for a personal trainer near me turns up plenty of choice, with 30+ studios in Adelaide to sort through. Rather than choosing on proximity alone, shortlist two or three listings of Personal Trainers near you in Adelaide and compare how each handles your first conversation. A good trainer asks about your health, goals and routine before quoting anything.

Funding Questions and NDIS Registered Trainers in Adelaide Hills

If funding applies to you, ask any trainer directly whether they are among the NDIS registered trainers in Adelaide Hills or elsewhere, and what documentation your plan manager needs. We don't claim NDIS registration, so confirm with your plan manager before booking. Trainers serving the Adelaide Hills should also tell you plainly how travel or location affects your sessions.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is a personal trainer in Adelaide?

Sessions here are $110 per 45min session. Your total cost depends on how many sessions you book each week, so one session a week costs less overall than three.

Is paying a personal trainer worth it?

Yes, when you need a personalised program, accountability and correct technique. The value shows in consistent results and fewer injuries, because someone is watching your form and adjusting the work as you improve. If you already train confidently on your own, the benefit is smaller.

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

Not necessarily, because what matters is how many sessions that budget buys, not the monthly total. At $110 per 45min session, $330 covers three sessions. Whether that is enough comes down to how often you need coaching to stay consistent and progress.

Can I train with a female personal trainer in Adelaide?

Yes. If you'd feel more comfortable training with a female trainer, tell us when you enquire and we'll talk through the options.

What happens in my first session?

We start with a conversation about your goal, your schedule and what you want from training. Then we complete pre-exercise screening, a short questionnaire that flags anything we should adjust for before you lift or run.
