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.

I was looking for a trainer who could work with my apartment gym, and I found Armstrong. His sessions are incredibly fun and motivating, pushing me towards my goals while maintaining excellent balance between challenge and enjoyment. He’s an all-around great person.

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.

Ways to train

What Our Personal Trainers Can Assist You With

Our personal trainers can help with most goals, from first-time exercise to sport-specific work. Here's where most clients start.

For most clients, the payoff is better energy for work, family and weekend adventures.

Strength, Conditioning and Fat-Loss Training

Good strength training is the base for nearly every goal. We pair it with conditioning, so you build muscle and fitness at the same time.

  • TechniqueSquats, hinges, pushes and pulls taught with careful technique
  • ConditioningShort blocks to lift your fitness and heart rate
  • ProgressRegular checks so your program keeps moving forward

Kettlebell Training for Strength and Power

Kettlebell training is a practical form of functional training. A single bell works your legs, hips, back and core in one flowing movement, and it's easy to bring to any location.

Seniors Exercise Classes and Small-Group Fitness Classes

We offer seniors exercise classes built around balance, strength and steady confidence. Our fitness classes for small groups suit friends, couples or neighbours who want to train together.

  • SeniorsBalance, strength and steady confidence
  • Small groupsFriends, couples or neighbours

Five steps from your first conversation to measurable progress.

Progressive Overload as Your Strength Builds

Your body adapts quickly to a routine, so we raise the demand in small steps: a little more weight, an extra rep or a slower tempo. This progressive overload keeps you improving without the big jumps that lead to injury.

LoadA little more weight

Added in small steps.

RepsAn extra rep

Volume built gradually.

TempoA slower tempo

More time under tension.

Local to you

Where We Train Across the Cairns Region

Sessions run in a private indoor studio with a full gym setup, or outdoors at a park, beach or esplanade. Most clients mix both, depending on the weather and their mood.

We also travel to your home or workplace across the Cairns Region and wider Far North Queensland. That suits life in the tropics, where a wet-season downpour can change the plan overnight.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

No. At $100 per 45-minute session, $300 a month covers three sessions, which is a modest spend for personal training. Whether that's enough depends on your goal and how often you need coaching to stay on track.

How much should I pay my personal trainer?

Pay for qualifications, insurance and a program built around you, not for the cheapest hourly figure. Our rate is $100 per 45-minute session, which covers one-on-one coaching and a plan designed for your goals.

Is a personal trainer actually worth it?

Yes, a personal trainer is worth it when you want accountability, correct technique and progressive programming towards a specific goal. A coach who adjusts your sessions as you improve takes out the guesswork and helps you train safely.

Can I choose a female personal trainer in Cairns?

Yes. You can choose from male and female Cairns personal trainers. Tell us your preference when you enquire and we'll pair you with the right trainer.

Where do Cairns sessions take place?

We offer mobile personal training across Cairns City, Cairns Southside and the northern beaches, from Manunda, Edge Hill and Westcourt to Smithfield, Trinity Beach, Yorkeys Knob and Palm Cove. Sessions run at your home or workplace, a park, beach or esplanade, or indoors. Early morning and evening times help you avoid the tropical midday heat.
