Ways to train
Training Programs: Strength, Weight Loss and Rehabilitation
Every program we write starts with your goal, and we choose the equipment and exercise types to suit it. We train clients one-on-one, so there's no waiting around like in a group class.
Strength Training and Muscle Building
Our strength training uses barbells, dumbbells, cables and machines, with bodyweight options if you prefer to start lighter. Resistance training builds muscle and bone density, and it makes everyday jobs like carrying the shopping or lifting the kids easier. We change the exercises and loads as you adapt.
Lifting Technique and One-Repetition Maximum Testing
We teach each lift slowly before adding weight. Once your technique is solid, we can test your one-repetition maximum, the heaviest load you can lift once with good form, to set sensible working weights and track strength over time.
Weight Loss and Conditioning With Aerobic Exercise and HIIT
For weight loss, we combine strength work with aerobic exercise such as brisk incline walking, rowing or bike intervals. Short blocks of high-intensity interval training build physical fitness quickly, so we use them sparingly to give you time to recover. Sustainable loss comes from steady weekly habits, not punishing sessions.
Nutrition Targets That Do Half the Work
Training alone rarely delivers the result you want. We set a simple daily calorie and protein goal that matches your routine, then adjust it based on your progress.
Rehabilitation-Aware Training After Injury
If you're returning after an injury, we build gentle, graded rehabilitation-style work around what your body can currently do. Exercise & Sports Science Australia and Sports Medicine Australia both recognise exercise as part of recovery, and our role is training, not diagnosis. If you want to get back to sport or simply move without pain, we only increase the load as fast as your body allows.
Working Alongside Your GP or Physio
Tell us about any health condition or clearance you've been given. We'll shape your plan around your GP's or physio's advice and flag anything that needs their input.

Personal Training Is More Than Just a Workout
A good coach does more than count your repetitions. Our coaching covers assessment, an individual program, steady progression and accountability. That mix is what turns busy sessions into real results.
Work pressure is the most common reason people skip sessions and stop tracking, so we plan around your diary in advance. You end up with a routine that survives a hectic week.
Ethan
Highton · Geelong
Ethan is your Highton personal trainer. He coaches every session one-to-one, from the first movement screen to your heaviest lift, and adjusts your plan as your week changes.
Assessment First: Functional Movement Screening and Body Composition Analysis
We begin with functional movement screening to see how you squat, hinge, push and pull.
- SquatDepth and control
- HingeHips and back
- PushUpper-body pressing
- PullBack and shoulders
A body composition analysis gives us your starting point. Together, the two shape an individual program built on facts, not guesses.
Progressive Overload: How Results Are Built Week to Week
Muscle and performance improve when the demand on them rises gradually. That's progressive overload. We add load, repetitions or control in small steps, so you can see your progress on paper, week by week.
Small jumps in weight.
Extra repetitions.
Slower, cleaner lifts.
Health coaching
Female Clients, Health Coaching and Nutrition
Looking for a health coach in Geelong who also trains you? We offer both in one place.
Training for Female Clients at Every Stage
Our female clients range from first-time lifters to women managing busy families, perimenopause or post-natal recovery. We adjust intensity, exercise selection and recovery to how your body feels that week.
Building strength supports your wellbeing, energy and confidence, and we never push a one-size-fits-all plan.
- First liftsLearning the basics
- Busy familiesPlans around the week
- Life stagesPerimenopause, post-natal
Why Pair a Personal Trainer With a Health Coach?
A personal trainer and health coach together can address what a workout alone can't: habits, food and stress. Health coaching covers sleep, nutrition and routines between sessions, so your progress doesn't stall once you leave the gym.
We also keep an eye on your mental health, because low mood or heavy stress affects how you train and eat. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare notes that mental health conditions are common among Australian adults, so we keep the conversation open and refer you to your GP when support beyond coaching is needed. It's your health, and we work at your pace.

Four sessions at $100.
Your budget converts straight into sessions. You choose the plan that suits your week, then add or drop sessions as your schedule changes.
Comparing Per-Session Rates With Gym Membership Costs
A gym membership gives you access to a gym floor, usually with staffed hours that suit the venue rather than you. Our rate pays for a trainer's full attention and a plan written around you. That's the difference worth weighing when you compare options.
Your week
How Often Should You Train Each Week?
Train as often as you can keep up for months. For most people, that's three to four workouts a week. Only some of those need to be paid sessions with us.
Lock In Three to Four Workouts Before the Week Starts
Put your workouts in the calendar before Monday. Book your session times first and add your own workouts around them.
If you're unsure what to follow, we load two different programs in the app and suggest repeating any day from either one twice a week. That keeps you progressing even when your week isn't perfect.
When Fewer Paid Sessions Make Sense
Paid and solo combined.
Repeat any day twice a week.
Some clients can't keep up four sessions a week for more than a fortnight, and adding more rarely helps. In that case we look at scheduling and recovery first, since a poor night's sleep drags down energy and performance.
Fewer paid sessions plus well-planned solo workouts often give a better result and protect your wellbeing and long-term health. Set the goal, then train at a pace you can fit around real life.
Getting started
Your First Month: How a New Client Gets Started
The first month sets the pattern for everything that follows, so we keep it simple and repeatable. For weight loss and strength goals alike, we start the same way: small habits first.
Weeks 1–2
Weeks One to Two: Habits, Check-Ins and a Starting Target
We agree a plan built on a few weekly habits you can sustain, with regular check-ins to adjust it. Your nutrition target is a daily calorie and protein figure that we set together, and we explain how it works.
- HabitsA few you can sustain
- Check-insRegular and short
- TargetCalories and protein
Weeks 3–4
Weeks Three to Four: Tracking Progress and Holding the Routine
You log workouts, food and weight in the app, so your progress is visible and we can adjust the plan. Staying consistent through busy weeks and social events shows up in your results, and having an expert watch the numbers stops small slips from turning into a stall.

- FoodTracked against target

Training Near the Barwon River Bend: Highton's Riverside Setting Beside Queens Park

Which Suburbs Can You Train From?
Australian Fitness Network's mobile trainers also travel to clients in Grovedale, Geelong West, Newtown, Belmont, Waurn Ponds and Ceres, and to Corio and Norlane in the north. We cover Fyansford, the Barrabool Hills and Wandana Heights too. Most sessions are a short drive across the City of Greater Geelong or along the Princes Highway, and some clients pair a session with a walk near Kardinia Park.
You can choose a quiet private gym in Geelong for one-on-one focus, or a shared gym floor with more equipment and more noise. On a shared floor, staffed hours matter, so pick times that suit you. See our Geelong personal training page for the wider area.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the usual fee for a personal trainer?
Our fee is $100 for a 45-minute session. That makes it easy to compare our rate with other trainers' per-session rates.
Is $300 a month a lot for a personal trainer?
Not necessarily. At $100 per 45-minute session, $300 covers three sessions. Whether that's enough depends on your goals and how often you need support to stay consistent.
How much should you expect to pay a personal trainer?
Most trainers charge per session, and with us it's $100 per 45 minutes. Your total cost depends on how many sessions you book.
How often should I train each week?
Most people do best with three to four workouts a week that they can sustain for months. Only some of those need to be paid sessions; the rest can be solo workouts from the programs we load in your app.
Can you train me after an injury?
Yes. We build gentle, graded rehabilitation-style work around what your body can do now, and shape the plan around your GP's or physio's advice. Our role is training, not diagnosis.
