How sessions work
How We Plan Your Training Program
Every personal training session in Altona runs for 45 minutes. Your program starts with a conversation and a movement check, not a template.
- 1
Chat
Your goal, training history, injuries and the days you can train.
- 2
Screen
How you squat, hinge, push, pull and balance.
- 3
Plan
A written program with starting loads and weekly targets.
- 4
Review
Regular check-ins, so the plan changes as you do.
Your first session
We talk through your goals, your week, any injuries or medications and any advice from your GP or physio. Then we set your starting loads and take you through a short, manageable workout, so you leave confident rather than sore. Your first session is free.
A routine you can keep
We build each week around the days you can train, mixing functional training such as squats, carries and step-ups with mobility work for your hips, shoulders and upper back. Short blocks of high-intensity interval training come in once your base is solid.
Nutrition and habits between sessions
We set one or two nutrition targets at a time, such as protein at each meal, and check in on your sleep and energy. If your results stall, we adjust the plan rather than push harder.
Our 6-week program
The 6-Week Lean Body Reset
The 6-Week Lean Body Reset is a $1,399 program built on simple habits.
It includes two training sessions a week with your trainer, the coaching app, nutrition tracking and a set of guides. Your result comes down to how consistently you follow it.
What results can you realistically expect?
Hit 80% of the checklist and you’ll be happy with your result. Fat loss comes from doing the basics week after week, and most people find their energy and training improve too. Tell us your goal early so we can coach you towards it.
What gets in the way?
Work deadlines, school pick-ups and poor sleep are what usually knock people off track. Lock three to four workouts into your calendar before the week starts and they’re much harder to skip.
The weekly checklist
Every client follows the same plan each week:
- Walk 10,000 steps a day.
- Log your food in the app, hit your protein target and stay under your calories.
- Weigh in on Sunday morning and fill in your check-in form.
- Read all the guides in your first week.
- Train at least 4 times a week: your 2 sessions with your trainer plus 2 on your own.

Personal Training Compared With a Membership, Class or Online Program
A gym membership gives you access, but you design your own training. A group class offers energy and company, and an online program gives you flexibility without anyone correcting your form. One-on-one sessions give you a coach who watches your technique and adjusts the plan in real time.
Who suits single sessions?
Single sessions suit people who already eat well, or who want one-on-one technique work around a busy diary. If you want nutrition tracking, guides and weekly check-ins as well, the package is the better fit.
Who suits the 6-week package?
The package suits people who want to lose fat with structure: two sessions a week, a clear program and someone checking in on them. If you only want the odd session, go with single sessions.
How we train
Strength, Weight Loss and Conditioning Programs
Most programs we write are built on strength, because it supports almost every goal.
One-on-one strength and resistance training
Strength training with free weights, cables and bodyweight builds a stronger body, and we coach each exercise until your technique holds up under load. It also makes carrying the shopping, lifting the kids and getting up off the floor easier.
A nutrition and weight loss program you can stick to
If you want to lose weight, we focus on keeping muscle while you drop fat. Our nutrition and weight loss program pairs your sessions with simple eating targets, so you’ll notice the change in how your clothes fit and how much energy you have, not just on the scales.
Strength and conditioning for sport
For athletes, we work as your strength and conditioning coach and build the power, speed and fitness your sport needs. With progressive overload, we add load in small steps and only when your technique stays solid.
Strength training
Free weights, cables and bodyweight, loaded in small steps.
Weight loss
Training plus simple nutrition targets you can keep.
Mobility
Hips, shoulders and upper back that move freely.
HIIT
Short, hard intervals once your base is ready.
Female & NDIS training
Female Personal Training and NDIS-Supported Sessions
Our sessions suit anyone who wants a coach who listens first. We adjust every program to your health, training history and comfort level, and you progress at your own pace.
Women’s health and strength
We train women through postnatal recovery, perimenopause and later life, adjusting load and exercise choice at each stage. If you’re postnatal or managing a health condition, check with your GP before you start. Building strength also supports bone and joint health.

Small group sessions

Before you book
What to Check When Choosing a Personal Trainer in Altona
Whichever personal trainer Altona residents choose, a few quick checks will tell you whether they are qualified, insured and set up to train you where you want to train.
Questions worth asking
- Do you hold current public liability insurance?
- Which fitness qualification do you hold, and which registered training organisation issued it?
- Is your first aid and CPR certificate current?
- Are you registered with AusREP or accredited with Exercise & Sports Science Australia?
- Do you hold a Working With Children Check if you train under-18s?
Qualifications that matter
A trainer should hold at least a Certificate III and IV in Fitness, which sit within the Australian Qualifications Framework. Ongoing education through bodies such as the National Strength and Conditioning Association or the American College of Sports Medicine is a good sign. A good coach also asks plenty of questions before prescribing anything, and that habit protects every client.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a personal trainer cost in Altona?
With us, sessions are $100 for 45 minutes, with no lock-in contract and no gym membership needed. For a structured start, the 6-Week Lean Body Reset is $1,399 and combines coaching with nutrition targets and check-ins.
How often should I train with a personal trainer?
As a general guide, one or two coached sessions a week, with a written program to follow on other days, works well for many people. Three to four workouts a week in total is a common starting point for fat loss and strength goals.
Is a personal trainer covered by Medicare?
No, Medicare doesn't rebate personal training. If you're an NDIS participant, you may be able to use your funding for supported sessions, depending on your plan and how it's managed. Bring your plan details when you enquire and we'll talk it through.
What happens in my first session?
Your first session is free and runs for 45 minutes. We chat about your goals and health, check how you move, then take you through a short, manageable workout.
What should I bring to my first session?
Bring water, a towel, comfortable activewear and supportive shoes, plus details of any injuries or advice from your GP or physio.
Should I choose mobile, gym-based or small-group training?
Mobile training at home suits busy parents, shift workers and beginners who want privacy and no travel. Gym sessions suit people ready for heavier lifting. Small-group training adds company, but you get less individual attention, so it works best once your technique is solid.
Can I book a female personal trainer in Altona?
Yes. Mention it when you enquire and we'll match you with a female trainer such as Britt or Michaela.
