Commit first
A gym or club membership usually asks you to commit before you know whether it suits you.
A different format
Group classes are a different format, with one coach shared across the room.
No member contract
There’s no member contract to sign. You book a session, train and decide what comes next. You get personal attention for the full 45 minutes, so your first booking doubles as a trial of our coaching style.
Getting started
Your First Session: Consultation, Screening and Setup
Before session one, we run a short goal consultation so your plan starts from what you actually want: strength, energy or a steadier routine. We ask about training history, injuries and how your week looks.
A goal consultation and pre-exercise screening
We complete a health check before any loading begins, so we know what to avoid and what to build around.
Exercise & Sports Science Australia guidance behind pre-exercise screening
Our pre-exercise screening follows the approach promoted by Exercise & Sports Science Australia. If your answers raise a flag, we suggest seeing your GP or an exercise physiology professional first.
Getting set up in the coaching app before session one
We calculate your daily calories and macros in the coaching app and ask you to connect Apple Health or Fitbit so your steps are tracked. You can also open a vault of guides and a sample meal plan at any time.
Start tracking food straight away, because the challenge begins at your first session.
A meal plan built around your food preferences
Your nutrition plan reflects what you like to eat. If you don't eat much meat, we use eggs, fish, dairy, tofu and protein supplements. If the plan isn't working for your body or weight goals, we can switch to a vegetarian version.
Weeks one to six
The First Four to Six Weeks of Coaching
With Australian Fitness Network, the early weeks are about routine. We keep the structure simple so you can repeat it, then adjust it as your fitness training settles in.
DailyCalories, protein and steps
Daily steps, calories and protein targets
You get a daily calorie and protein target, plus a step goal tracked through your phone or watch. Log food, water and steps anytime in the app. Momentum comes from tracking straight away, not waiting for the perfect moment to start.
4Workouts a week, early on
A cardio and weights program that builds week by week
Expect a mix of cardio and weight sessions, often around four gym workouts a week early on. We build volume and load gradually, so each week asks a little more of you without overwhelming you.
2Weeks between progress reviews
How do you know the program is working?
You'll see it in your numbers and your training: more consistent step counts, lifts that feel easier and better recovery. A body composition analysis gives a clearer picture than the scales alone. We review performance and your goal together every couple of weeks and adjust the targets to suit.

Strength Training and Conditioning Coaching
Our strength training is built around the lifts that carry over to daily life, with every session coached one-to-one so the load suits you.
Ethan
Armstrong Creek · Geelong
Ethan is your Armstrong Creek personal trainer. He coaches every session one-to-one, from the first screening to your heaviest lift, and travels to you across Geelong and the Bellarine.
Resistance training with free weights and kettlebells
Resistance training with free weights such as dumbbells and barbells teaches your body to stabilise itself. The equipment we use is simple and adjustable.
Kettlebell training for time-poor parents and beginners
Kettlebell training suits beginners and busy parents because a few swings, carries and goblet squats pack functional training into a short session.
Progressive overload and one-repetition maximum testing
Progressive overload means we add a little weight, a repetition or a set as you adapt. Where it suits you, we test a one-repetition maximum, the heaviest single lift you can complete with good form, to set loads for muscle hypertrophy (muscle growth) blocks.
Squat and deadlift coaching for safer lifting
Your strength and conditioning coach will film or cue your squat and deadlift until the movement looks consistent. You use both patterns whenever you pick something up or stand up from a chair.
Squat and deadlift technique before heavier loads, with muscle hypertrophy in mind
We lock in technique with light weights first. Heavier loads then build muscle with less risk of a tweaked back or knee.
Conditioning
Cardio, Circuit Work and Recovery
Conditioning keeps your heart and lungs working alongside the lifting, and we match the format to your fitness and your week.
High-intensity interval training and circuit training
High-intensity interval training alternates hard efforts with short rests, so it fits into a tight 45 minutes. Circuit training moves you through stations of strength and cardio work, and we run it one-to-one rather than as a group, so the pace is yours.
What to expect from delayed onset muscle soreness
Delayed onset muscle soreness is the ache that peaks a day or two after unfamiliar exercise. It's normal when you start a new workout.
Delayed onset muscle soreness and recovery between sessions
It usually eases within a few days. Gentle walking, water, sleep and a lighter next session help, and we adjust the load if you're still sore.
Outdoor sessions
Training Outdoors at Warralily Boulevard Reserve
A local park for outdoor sessions and your own workouts in between
The City of Greater Geelong lists Warralily Boulevard Reserve at 70–90 Warralily Boulevard as a local community park in the heart of Armstrong Creek. We use the grass for warm-ups and mobility, and its fitness playground for bodyweight and circuit-style exercise.
It's free to use, and a session there breaks up your usual routine. You can also come back between sessions for a self-directed workout that repeats what we've practised.
What we can do in the park during a 45-minute session
- 1Warm-upWarm-up and mobility work on the grass
- 2StrengthBodyweight strength conditioning on the fitness playground
- 3CircuitsCircuit-style rounds that mix cardio and strength
- 4Cool-downRest intervals on the seating, with a cool-down stretch to finish
Wellness
Wellness, Women's Health and Reformer Pilates
Women's health and returning to training as a woman
Many female clients come to us after pregnancy, a long break or a stop-start history with training. If you're a woman returning to exercise, we start with your health history, adjust load and intensity to suit, and build wellness goals such as sleep, energy and stress into the plan. Anything that needs medical input is a conversation for your GP first.
Reformer Pilates, mobility and functional movement
We don't run reformer Pilates ourselves. If you enjoy a reformer class, it can sit alongside your training as a complementary way to build mobility and control. We then carry that into functional movements such as squatting, lifting and carrying, so wellness gains show up in daily life.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much should you spend on a personal trainer?
Spend an amount you can keep up week after week. Sessions here are $100 per 45 minutes, so budget in whole sessions: one a week, or one a fortnight if that suits your finances better. Steady attendance beats a bigger commitment you can't maintain.
What is the usual fee for a personal trainer?
Here, a session is $100 per 45 minutes, and that is the only rate. If you're comparing trainers, check the session length and what's included so you're comparing like with like.
Is $300 a month a lot for a personal trainer?
No. $300 a month covers three coached sessions at $100 each, which is a manageable amount. For weekly sessions or more, you'd need a bigger budget.
Where do Armstrong Creek sessions take place?
We offer mobile personal training across Armstrong Creek and Geelong's southern suburbs. Your trainer comes to your home, your gym or Warralily Boulevard Reserve, where the grass and fitness playground suit warm-ups, bodyweight strength and circuits.
Do you run reformer Pilates?
No, we don't run reformer Pilates ourselves. If you enjoy a reformer class, it can sit alongside your training as a complementary way to build mobility and control.
