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.

How sessions work

How We Plan Your Training Program

Every personal training session in Bentleigh East runs for 45 minutes. Your program starts with a conversation about your goal, not a template.

  1. 1

    Chat

    Your goal, training history, injuries and the days you can train.

  2. 2

    Screen

    How you squat, hinge, push, pull and balance.

  3. 3

    Plan

    A written program with starting loads and weekly targets.

  4. 4

    Review

    Regular check-ins, so the plan changes as you do.

Your first session

Your first session is free and runs for 45 minutes. We focus on your goals and build a plan around them. Beginners start with simple strength and resistance work and mobility, while experienced lifters can go straight into heavier strength training or sport-specific conditioning.

A routine you can keep

We build each week around the days you can train, mixing strength and resistance work with mobility so your joints keep moving well. High-intensity interval training comes in once your base is built.

Nutrition and habits between sessions

We set simple nutrition targets alongside your training and check in regularly. 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

Resistance training is the base of most programs we write, because it supports almost every goal.

One-on-one strength and resistance training

Strength training done with good technique helps you carry the shopping, keep up with the kids and stay strong as you age. We choose exercises that suit your experience, then increase the challenge gradually.

A nutrition and weight loss program you can stick to

If you want to lose weight, your coach reviews your numbers regularly and adjusts training and nutrition as you go. Our 6-Week Lean Body Reset combines coaching with nutrition targets and check-ins.

Strength and conditioning for sport

For athletes, we work as your strength and conditioning coach and build the power and fitness your sport needs. Your coach picks the mix of methods based on your goal, your experience and how your body is responding.

Strength training

Resistance work with good technique, loaded gradually.

Weight loss

Training plus simple nutrition targets you can keep.

Mobility

Joints that move well in every exercise.

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 pace every program around your health, your energy and your comfort level.

Women’s health and strength

Many women prefer a female coach, and we have one to support you. We offer postnatal and perimenopause-aware training, starting smaller than most people expect and building from there. Check with your GP before you begin if you’re pregnant, recovering after birth or managing a health condition.

NDIS personal trainers in Bentleigh East

We coach National Disability Insurance Scheme participants. Each session is adapted to your ability, with clear instructions and extra time where you need it, and you’re welcome to bring a support worker or carer. Read more about our NDIS personal training.

Small group sessions

Small-group sessions suit friends who want to train together, or anyone who turns up more reliably when others are counting on them.

Before you book

What to Check When Choosing a Personal Trainer in Bentleigh East

Whichever personal trainer Bentleigh East offers you, a few quick checks will tell you whether a trainer is qualified, insured and set up to train you where you want to train.

Questions worth asking

  • Do you hold a current fitness qualification?
  • Are you registered with Exercise & Sports Science Australia or another industry body?

Council permits for public reserves

Under Glen Eira City Council’s Community Local Law 2019, a permit from Council is required for any commercial activity in a public reserve, including fitness training sessions. The rule comes from Council’s outdoor fitness conditions of use. If you plan to train outdoors, it’s reasonable to ask your trainer whether a permit is in place.

What is the most recognised personal trainer certificate?

In Australia, look for a current fitness qualification plus registration with Exercise & Sports Science Australia. Also check that your trainer holds current first aid and public liability insurance.

What happens in my first session, and how is it different for beginners and experienced lifters?

Home sessions are convenient because our mobile trainers bring the equipment to you, with no gym membership needed. Outdoor sessions and the network's gyms give you a different setting, so pick whichever keeps you turning up. Any paid outdoor session in a public reserve needs a Glen Eira City Council permit, so ask your trainer first.

Yes. Mention it when you enquire and we'll match you with a female trainer such as Britt or Michaela. We also offer postnatal and perimenopause-aware training, and we suggest checking with your GP before you begin.

Can I use NDIS funding for personal training?

We coach NDIS participants, and support workers or carers are welcome at sessions. Whether your funding covers training depends on your plan and how it's managed, so bring your plan details when you enquire and we'll talk it through.
