Over the past year, training with Anthony and the Australian Fitness Network team has been transformative. Each session is carefully tailored to my individual needs with clear focus on reaching my goals. I’ve seen significant improvements in my general fitness and strength while feeling more energised and confident.

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.

Armstrong took time to understand my fitness goals and asked insightful questions. His ability to shift my mindset from just weight loss to overall health and strength made all the difference. The personalised approach helped me achieve sustainable long-term results.

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.

We've worked with plenty of people who felt nervous about walking into a gym, and that's who our approach suits best.

Our Bentleigh personal trainers keep sessions friendly and practical, whether you're after beginner-friendly personal training in Bentleigh East or simply a trainer who listens. Every client gets personalised attention, never a copied template.

Private Training Built Around One Person

Private training means your trainer's focus stays on you for the whole 45 minutes. We start by asking about your fitness goal, your history and how your body feels day to day, then adjust each session as you improve. If you're searching for fitness options in Bentleigh that respect your pace, this is how we work.

Offering Tailored Fitness Programs for Every Starting Point

We offer tailored fitness programs that match your current level rather than an ideal one. A plan might begin with simple movement patterns and light loads, then progress once you feel fit enough to move on. You set the direction, and we make sure each step is achievable.

  • M / FMale and female trainers. Friendly, beginner-friendly coaching.

  • Semi-private: suits two or three people with similar goals who still want close coaching.

How sessions work

How a Personal Training Session Works

Each session follows the same shape. We record weights, effort and how you felt, which keeps your plan honest and your progress visible. It's how we run training in Bentleigh at every level.

  1. 1

    Warm-up

    A short warm-up that raises your heart rate and prepares the joints you're about to use.

  2. 2

    Main Workout

    Strength work and cardio from your written plan, coached rep by rep.

  3. 3

    Notes for Next Time

    We finish with notes on what you did, so we can build on it next session.

Strength Training and Progressive Overload

Strength training is the core of most programs. Using resistance training with free weights, machines or bands, we apply progressive overload, meaning small, planned increases in load or repetitions as you adapt. That steady build protects your joints and makes everyday tasks easier.

Cardio, Intervals and Functional Training

Cardio is matched to your capacity, from steady aerobic exercise to short bursts of high-intensity interval training once you're ready. We also include functional training, such as squatting, carrying and stepping, so each workout carries over to daily life.

What Is Included in a $100 Session?

Each session is a coached workout built from your written plan, with technique cues, adjustments on the day and progress notes after. We also talk through your nutrition habits, because training alone seldom moves the scale without them.

Getting started

How Many Sessions Suit Your Goal?

Your goal, your current weight and your fitness level decide the answer. As a budget guide, $300 covers three sessions at $100, which suits a fortnight of focused work or a spread-out month. The best personal training rhythm is one you can sustain, and the best plan is the one you'll actually follow.

Budget

Affordable Personal Training When Budget Matters

Affordable personal training doesn't have to mean fewer results, and we'd rather build around your budget than push you into more than you need. Every member we coach gets tailored options, not a single package.

Here's how we usually help you make that budget work:

  • Book one personal trainer session a week and use a simple home routine we give you for the other days.
  • Mix in-person sessions with online check-ins when your schedule or budget is tight.
  • Focus each 45-minute session on the lifts and movements that matter most for your goal.
  • Pause or space out sessions during busy weeks without losing your program.

When In-Person Sessions Earn Their Cost

If you want us beside you all the way to your fitness goal, regular sessions are worth it, especially when you're learning new exercises, returning from injury or need someone to keep your technique honest. If you're already training consistently, a lighter, more affordable format can still deliver.

Who we help

Who We Train: Goals, Bodies and Backgrounds

Female Clients and Women's Health Goals

Many of our female clients want strength without feeling judged. We build programs around your body, energy and schedule, including women's health needs such as training through different life stages.

Back Pain, Mobility and Everyday Strength

If you're managing back pain, we start gently and build the muscles that support your spine. Better physical fitness makes lifting groceries and getting off the floor easier, and it supports broader health promotion goals. Please check with your GP first if the pain is new or severe.

Starting Your Fitness Journey From Scratch

Whether you want weight loss, a stronger lifestyle routine or sport-specific work, we meet you where you are. Nobody needs experience to begin their fitness journey with us.

Your first weeks

Your First Weeks: Staying Consistent Beyond a Strong Start

Why Do Food Logs Slip First?

Food logs slip first because training has a fixed time in your week, while tracking relies on remembering. Most new clients start strong with sessions, steps and check-ins, then nutrition tracking fades, especially after social days. That gap can stall your goal.

How Check-Ins Keep You on Track

We watch your app for gaps and message you personally, never with a group broadcast. We ask you to log that same day and find out what got in the way. From there we rebuild the habit and adjust your plan, and we keep an eye on sleep too. Our training community of members is there for support, but the first call is always from us.

Where we train

Studio Training, Equipment and the Gym Alternative

Private Studio or Busy Gym Floor?

Our private studio means no waiting for a rack and no one watching you learn a lift. Gyms suit people who like the buzz, but a first-timer on a crowded gym floor often spends half the hour hunting for equipment. In our studio, barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells and cable machines are set up before you arrive, so every minute goes on training.

Outdoor Fitness Sessions When the Weather Allows

On mild days we can take your session to a nearby park for outdoor fitness. Hill walks, sprints and bodyweight circuits work well for building conditioning, and clients who dislike indoor training often prefer the fresh air.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What Do You Need to Bring?

Bring comfortable clothes, supportive shoes, a water bottle and a towel. We supply all the equipment. Tell us about any injuries or medical concerns before your first session so we can plan around them.

How Much Should You Pay for a Personal Trainer?

Pay for the format you can keep up consistently. With us, one-on-one sessions are $100 per 45 minutes, and cheaper formats exist if your budget is tight. A program you stick with for months beats an expensive one you drop after a fortnight.

How Much on Average Does a Personal Trainer Charge?

Our rate is $100 per 45 minutes, and rates elsewhere vary by trainer, location and format. Judge value by the quality of the program, how progress is tracked and the support you get between sessions.

Is $400 a Month a Lot for a Personal Trainer?

It depends on your goal. At $100 per session, $400 covers four sessions, about one a week. If that stretches your budget, lighter formats can keep you training for less.

Is Cheaper Personal Training Worth It?

Cheap only pays off if it keeps you consistent. Online coaching, where we review your app and talk you through direction and accountability, can support steady weight loss of around 0.5 kg per week, a sustainable rate for your health. We'd rather you train steadily at a pace you can afford than burn out after a few expensive weeks.
