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 personalized program perfectly suited to my goals. The dietary recommendations were practical and easy to follow.

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 Geelong: How 45-Minute Sessions Work

If you want a personal trainer Geelong locals can book without a long contract, Australian Fitness Network’s one-on-one sessions cost $100 per 45 minutes. As personal trainers and health coaches, we pair personal training with health coaching, so you get expert personal training, tailored to your needs, in the gym or outdoors.

What happens in your first session

We start by talking through your history, your week and what you want from training. Geelong clients tell us a realistic plan matters most. Then we move, so you leave with a feel for how we coach.

  • $100Per 45-minute session. No long contract, and the coaching, program and screening are covered.
  • Pre-exercise screening. In line with Exercise & Sports Science Australia guidance.
  • Women’s health training. A quiet space and clear coaching, with no pressure.
  • Strength and rehabilitation. Trained through a pain-free range.
  • Groups and teens. Small groups of two to four, and safe foundations for teens.

Meet your trainers

Pre-Exercise Screening and Your Fitness Goal

Before any lifting, we complete pre-exercise screening in line with Exercise & Sports Science Australia guidance. It covers injuries, medications and health conditions. Together we then set one clear fitness goal to build the plan around.

Anthony, personal trainer and triathlete

Anthony

Triathlete · 5 languages

Races triathlons and speaks five languages. Focused, organised and fully on you for 45 minutes. Book in and he handles the rest.

Private one-on-one coaching at $100 per 45 minutes

Private sessions mean our attention stays on you for the full 45 minutes. Each exercise is chosen for your body and adjusted as you improve, and the plan changes whenever your fitness or schedule does.

Female clients and women’s health training

Many female clients come to us unsure where to start in a gym. We build confidence first, with a quiet space, clear coaching and no pressure to copy anyone else’s routine. Every woman’s body, wellbeing and health needs differ, and training should respect that.

Programs

Strength Training, Injury Recovery and Rehabilitation

Our strength training program is built around how you move today, not how you moved five years ago. We train you through a pain-free range and add load only when your technique holds up.

Strength work for women at every stage

Resistance training supports muscle, bone health and steady energy through busy years, postnatal recovery and menopause. We adjust loads, rest and exercise choices to match where you are, and we don’t chase a number on the scales or weight loss for its own sake.

Progressive overload explained for new lifters

Progressive overload means gradually asking a little more of your muscles, through extra reps, heavier weights or slower tempo. Strength builds when the increase is small enough to repeat. Kettlebell training is a friendly way to practise it.

How do you train around an old injury?

We start by asking what aggravates the problem and what your GP or physio has cleared. Your physical fitness then builds around the sore area rather than through it.

Rehabilitation exercise and sports science basics

Good rehabilitation relies on sports science: gradual loading, controlled tempo and plenty of repetition at low intensity. We work alongside your physio’s plan, so each exercise supports what they’ve set.

Functional training and kettlebell work

Functional training uses patterns you need every day, such as squatting, carrying and pushing. Kettlebell training adds hip strength and balance without bulky machines, and it suits a resistance training workout of 45 minutes well.

Circuit training for stamina and aerobic exercise

Circuit training links strength stations with short cardio bursts. It builds stamina, and a little high-intensity interval training can be added once your joints cope with aerobic exercise comfortably.

Preparing for a police fitness test

A client preparing for a police fitness test needs sport-style performance, not just a harder workout. We practise the test movements, build the running and strength base behind them, and keep sessions flexible if her test date shifts.

Working with your physio

Australian Fitness Network trainers work alongside your physio’s plan, so training and rehabilitation pull in the same direction.

Groups, classes and teens

Group Fitness Training, Fitness Classes and Training for Teens

Private sessions give you our full attention. A group class trades some of that for energy, shared effort and a lower price per head.

Small group sessions with a friend

Group fitness training works well for two to four people with similar goals. Bring a friend, and each session is still planned around your abilities, so nobody is left behind. Our fitness classes follow the same relaxed approach, with options scaled up or down.

Safe strength foundations for teens

Training for teens focuses on movement quality, sensible loads and building confidence in the gym. It helps a young person who plays sport, or simply wants to feel stronger, without rushing heavy lifting. A parent is welcome to join the first session.

Bodybuilding technique versus sport performance

Bodybuilding technique chases muscle size, while sport performance values speed, power and durability. We teach teens the shared basics first, then tailor the program to their game.

Nutrition

Nutrition, Weight Loss and Tracking Your Progress

Food decisions shape results as much as training does, so we build nutrition into the plan from the start. Our health coaching covers daily targets, check-ins and adjustments as life changes.

Setting calorie and protein targets

For weight loss, we set a daily calorie figure and a protein target that suits your body and your goal. One recent plan sat at about 1,848 kcal and 127 g of protein a day, which shows the kind of specific numbers you can expect.

Body composition analysis versus scale weight

Scale weight can sit still while your body changes, which is why a body composition analysis gives a clearer picture of fat and muscle. Without one, a steady 58 kg tells you very little.

What does consistent progress look like?

Consistency is the first sign: regular sessions, steady training between visits and honest food logging. A client can train well for weeks, yet we still can’t claim a measured result until we have the data. Your wellbeing, energy and strength count too.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the usual fee for a personal trainer?

Fees vary between trainers, gyms and settings, so there’s no single figure. At Australian Fitness Network, one-on-one sessions are $100 per 45 minutes, and that covers the coaching, your program and the pre-exercise screening rather than charging for them separately.

How much should you pay for a personal trainer?

Match the price to the trainer’s qualifications, the session length and how much programming is included, so you can compare like for like.

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

It depends on how many sessions that amount buys and what you want from them. Check that session length, programming and screening are included before judging the value.

Do you offer group sessions?

Yes. Group fitness training works well for two to four people with similar goals, and each session is still planned around your abilities.

Can you train around an old injury?

Yes. We start by asking what aggravates the problem and what your GP or physio has cleared, then build your fitness around the sore area rather than through it.
