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.

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.

Common worries before starting personal training

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 Trainer Albert Park: Private, Personalised Training by the Lake

Looking for a personal trainer in Albert Park for private, personalised coaching? You're in the right place. Australian Fitness Network trains people across Albert Park, Melbourne VIC, with fitness that suits your body, your week and your goals.

Who You Train With

You work with one coach, not a rotating roster. Our trainer is a strength and conditioning coach who runs private sessions by the lake, so the person who plans your training is the person standing next to you.

A Coaching Style Built Around You

Every client starts with a conversation about their goal, history and schedule. Wind off the bay changes how hard a session feels, so we adjust the plan on the day.

Qualifications and Accreditation

Ask any personal trainer to show current qualifications and insurance before you book. We're happy to answer the same questions.

Exercise & Sports Science Australia Standards and What They Mean for Your Safety

Exercise & Sports Science Australia is the professional body for exercise and sports science practitioners. Its standards cover screening, safe progression and when to refer you back to your GP, which matters if you have a health condition.

  • Training by Albert Park Lake. Flat paths, open grass and the Albert Park Circuit loop.

Personal Training Albert Park Programs

Our personal training Albert Park programs are built around your goals. Most people start in one area, and training often shifts as they get stronger. Every session is 45 minutes and $110, whatever the program.

  • Built for youPrograms built around your goal, schedule and starting fitness.
  • LocationSessions by the lake, in our studio or mobile.
  • AdaptsPersonal training in Albert Park that adjusts as your goals change.

Is Strength and Resistance Training Right for You?

Yes. Strength training is the base for most goals, and you don't need a big gym to do it well.

  • Technique coaching on the main lifts and bodyweight patterns
  • Portable equipment such as bands, kettlebells and dumbbells
  • Progress tracked from session to session
  • Clear cues for what good form feels like
  • A warm-up and cool-down in every 45-minute session

Can Training Help You Lose Weight and Change Body Composition?

Yes. The right mix of resistance training, activity and food habits helps you lose weight while keeping your muscle.

  • Training that helps you lose weight and keep your muscle
  • A simple plan with practical food habits
  • Regular check-ins on body composition and energy

Between Sessions

Walking and lake laps are added between sessions, so your activity keeps building on the days you don't train with us.

What Do Functional Training and Conditioning Involve?

Functional training builds the movement you use daily: lifting, carrying, climbing stairs and getting up off the floor. Conditioning adds aerobic exercise, from steady lake laps to short intervals.

  • Squats, hinges, pushes and pulls for everyday strength
  • Carries and step-ups for balance and grip
  • Steady laps or intervals for heart and lung fitness

High-Intensity Interval Training Sessions That Suit Your Current Fitness

High-intensity interval training works best when the effort matches your fitness. We set work and rest times to suit you and scale any workout on the spot.

Injury-Aware Training and Sport Performance

  • Training around a past or current musculoskeletal injury, with GP or physio input
  • Sport-specific preparation, including events like the Melbourne Marathon
  • Strength work that supports long-term health and performance
  • A personal trainer in Albert Park who adapts exercises instead of skipping them

Lower Back Pain and Returning to Exercise Safely After a Musculoskeletal Injury

If you live with lower back pain, we use gradual loading and controlled movement. Tell us what's aggravated it before and we'll plan around it.

Resistance Training Progressions for Beginners and Returning Clients

We start with movements you can control, then add load as your program allows. In our experience, clients progress best when we hold back early and build gradually.

  • Step 1Learn the pattern with bodyweight or a light band.
  • Step 2Add repetitions once the movement feels steady.
  • Step 3Increase load only when your technique holds up.
  • Step 4Review the plan every few weeks and reset the goal.

Getting started

How Personal Training Works, Step by Step

From first enquiry to ongoing progress, the process follows a clear order, so you always know what comes next.

  1. 1

    Your First Session and Goal Setting

    We start with a short chat about your goal, your health and any past injuries, then run a movement assessment. You train in the same session, so you leave with something done. Nervous first-timers relax quickly once they realise the assessment is a conversation, not a test.

  2. 2

    Building Your Personalised Program

    Using what we learn, we write a personalised program with a plan for how often you train and what each block focuses on. We also share simple nutrition pointers that suit your routine, without handing out rigid meal plans.

  3. 3

    Tracking Progress Week to Week

    We log the exercise you do, how your body responds and how you feel afterwards. Every few weeks we retest the basics, such as strength or how fit you feel on the same route, then adjust the program.

Where we train

Where You Train: Albert Park Lake, Studio or Mobile

Most of our sessions happen outdoors, a short walk from the tram line, and some move indoors or to your door. The location you pick affects how often you'll actually turn up.

Outdoor Sessions Around Albert Park Lake

The path around Albert Park Lake is flat, well lit in the early morning and wide enough for walking lunges, sled-free carries and skipping. We train you on the park's open grass and paths, and move under shelter when the weather turns.

Albert Park Circuit Loop for Conditioning and Interval Work

The Albert Park Circuit loop gives us a measured route for interval training. We set work and recovery blocks by landmark, so you can see your conditioning improve on the same stretch each fortnight.

Studio and Indoor Options

When heat, wind or rain makes the park a poor choice, we move you into our South Melbourne studio at b/101 Moray St, with the gym equipment your program calls for. Indoor sessions suit heavier lifting and technique work that needs a stable floor.

Mobile Personal Training and Training Near MSAC

With mobile personal training, we come to your home, building or local green space. Near the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre (MSAC), we can meet you by Lakeside Stadium or Junction Oval. If you hold an MSAC gym membership, tell us and we'll build your program around it.

St Vincent Gardens suits a quieter session with shade, and a walk towards Port Phillip Bay works well for a cool-down.

Outdoor sessions

Council Licence Rules That Apply to Outdoor Personal Training in Albert Park

Any personal trainer working on City of Port Phillip public land in Albert Park needs a licence agreement with Council.

Under Port Phillip's rules, a session is capped at fifteen participants, and the limit may be lower at some locations. Amplified sound, product sales, heavy gym equipment and combat-style training are not permitted.

A compliant outdoor training session is therefore quiet and uses light equipment. Some park land may be managed by Parks Victoria instead, so confirm which rules apply where you plan to train, and check current requirements with Council.

What a Compliant Session Looks Like

  • A licence agreement with the City of Port Phillip
  • No more than fifteen participants, fewer at some locations
  • Quiet, with no amplified sound or product sales
  • Light equipment only, and no combat-style training

Pricing

Personal Trainer Cost in Albert Park

The cost of training with Australian Fitness Network is simple: $110 per 45-minute session. There are no joining fees or lock-in contracts, so you pay for the sessions you book and nothing else.

Per session

$110 / 45 min

Session Price: $110 per 45 Minutes

Each 45-minute session is a full one-to-one block of coaching, planned around your health history and what you can do on the day.

  • No joining fees or lock-in contracts
  • Pay only for the sessions you book
  • Coaching planned around your health history
  • One-to-one attention for the full 45 minutes

Your plan sets the pace, and you can add or drop sessions as your schedule changes.

Price vs value

What a Block of Sessions Adds Up To

A budget converts to sessions by multiples of $110. Here is how that looks:

$1101 session

A good way to start.

$2202 sessions

Enough to learn the program basics.

$4404 sessions

A typical month at one visit a week.

$8808 sessions

Two a week for a month.

What the Best Value Looks Like

The best value comes from consistency, not volume. A client who trains once a week and follows the work between visits often gets further than someone who books a burst of sessions and stops. Pick a rhythm tied to your goal, then review it with us every few weeks.

Programs for everyone

Private Sessions, Female Clients and Group Options

Choosing a format comes down to how much attention you want and who you want beside you. We offer three, and you can switch between them as your needs change.

Private One-to-One Coaching

Private sessions give you our full attention for all 45 minutes. We adjust every exercise, rest period and cue to you, which suits new starters, anyone managing an injury and busy clients who want no wasted time.

Training for Female Clients and Women's Health

Many of our female clients come to us for strength, energy or confidence rather than the scales. We plan around women's health concerns such as pregnancy, postnatal recovery and pelvic floor, and we ask you to speak with your GP first where it's relevant. We work at a pace your body can sustain.

Female personal trainers in Melbourne

Small Group Sessions and Class Formats

A small group of friends or colleagues can share a session and split the cost. A class format suits people who like the energy of a shared workout. Both stay small enough for us to correct your technique.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much should you expect to pay a personal trainer?

Sessions with Australian Fitness Network are $110 per 45-minute session. Cost generally varies with session length, location and trainer experience. A block's price is simply the number of sessions multiplied by $110.

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

Not necessarily, because it depends on how often you train. At $110 per 45-minute session, three sessions come to $330 and four to $440, so $400 sits between them. Weigh that against your goals and how many sessions you need.

Where do Albert Park sessions take place?

Most sessions happen outdoors around Albert Park Lake. When the weather turns, we move indoors to our South Melbourne studio, and with mobile personal training we can come to your home, building or local green space.

Do you offer mobile personal training around Albert Park?

Yes. We bring the session to clients in Albert Park, Middle Park, South Melbourne, Port Melbourne, St Kilda, St Kilda West, Elwood and Windsor, so you can skip the commute altogether.

Do you train female clients and women's health goals?

Yes. We plan around women's health concerns such as pregnancy, postnatal recovery and pelvic floor, and we ask you to speak with your GP first where it's relevant.
