Personal training in Carlton
Your Personal Trainer in Carlton, Melbourne
If you’re looking for a personal trainer in Carlton, we offer private, one-on-one coaching built around your goal, your schedule and your starting point.
Whether you’re new to exercise or returning after a long break, every program is personalised. We start by asking what you want to change, then shape each session around your needs rather than a template. One-on-one training means you get our full attention, so your technique is corrected as you go and the plan shifts when your week does.
People stick with training when the first few weeks feel achievable, so we keep early sessions simple and build from there. We train clients at home, at work, in parks around Carlton, or in one of our gyms, and we bring the equipment when we come to you.

How sessions work
What Happens in a Personal Training Session
Every personal training session in Carlton runs for 45 minutes and follows a clear shape, wherever you train.
- 1
Warm-up
Mobility drills and light movement to raise your heart rate and prepare your joints.
- 2
Main block
Strength and resistance exercises, coached set by set.
- 3
Finisher
Conditioning matched to your level.
- 4
Cool-down
Stretching and a quick review of the session.
How your program is built and progressed
Your plan starts with an assessment of your movement and goals. We then apply progressive overload, gradually increasing the weight, reps or difficulty so your muscles keep adapting. Each week we review how the last session felt and adjust.
Equipment, technique and safe loading
We use whatever suits the exercise and the person: dumbbells, barbells, resistance bands, kettlebells, bodyweight and mat work. Good technique comes before heavier loads, so we teach each movement at a light weight first.
Your first session
Every session opens with a short check-in on how you’re feeling, sleeping and recovering, and closes with a clear note on what to do before the next one. Your first session is free, so you can see how we work before you pay a cent.
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.

- Pay per session, no lock-in contract
- At home, outdoors or in the gym
Best for fat loss
6-Week Lean Body Reset
$1,399 / 6 weeks
What does the Lean Body Reset cost?
The 6-week program is $1,399. It includes:
- Two training sessions each week
- The coaching app and nutrition tracking
- Guides and the weekly checklist

Comparing Trainers on Value, Not Price
When you compare trainers, look at what each price includes rather than the number alone. Is the program personalised or recycled? Is your technique coached throughout? Is the session length clearly stated? The best value usually comes from a trainer who tracks your progress and changes the plan before you stall.
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
Training Styles and Goals We Build Around
We choose the method once we know your goal, not the other way round.
Most clients end up with a blend, and we adjust it as your physical fitness improves and the first results show. We’ll always explain why we’ve picked each method, with the aim of steady, sustainable change.
- Aerobic exercise: steady cardio to build stamina and support heart health and weight management.
- High-intensity interval training: short, hard efforts with recovery, suited to time-poor clients chasing conditioning.
- Circuit training: rotating stations that combine fitness and strength work in one efficient block.
- Functional training: squatting, carrying and pushing patterns that carry over to daily life and better mobility.
- Resistance training: builds muscle and reshapes your body over time.
Strength training
Compound lifts for stronger legs, back and posture.
Kettlebells
Strength and conditioning in one tool.
HIIT & circuits
Big fitness gains in little time.
Functional training
Lift, carry and move with confidence every day.
Who we train
Personal Training for Women Over 40 in Carlton
If you’re looking for personal training for women over 40 near you, we build sessions around what matters at this stage: strength, mobility and the confidence to move well. Many women in their 40s and beyond tell us they want to feel capable and steady, not just change their weight.
What a typical block looks like
- A movement check to see where you’re strong and where you feel tight
- Strength work for your legs, hips, back and shoulders, which makes lifting, stairs and carrying shopping easier
- Mobility and balance drills that keep your joints moving comfortably
- Regular reviews so your program keeps pace with how you feel
Working with your health
We start with how your body feels now, then progress the load at a pace you can sustain. If you have health concerns, talk to your GP first and we’ll work within their advice. Prefer a woman as your coach? Ask for a female personal trainer.
Small-group and online options
If you’d like company, two or three friends or colleagues can share a session. If you travel or prefer home workouts, we also coach online through video sessions with the same program structure.
Before you book
How to Choose a Trainer and Book Your First Session
Start with qualifications, then check the trainer’s approach suits your goals and schedule. The best trainer is the one you’ll keep turning up for.
Do you need a referral to see a personal trainer?
No. You can book a personal trainer directly, without seeing your GP first. Personal trainers work in gyms, studios, community health centres and clients’ homes, and AUSactive (formerly Fitness Australia) runs the main register of exercise professionals.
Training in a Carlton park
Outdoor sessions are different. The City of Melbourne requires anyone running paid personal training on public land to hold a council permit, so if a trainer suggests the Carlton Gardens or Princes Park, ask whether that permit is in place.
Questions worth asking
- Which association are you registered with?
- Do you hold a council permit for outdoor sessions?
- Is my program written for me or reused?
- How will you track my progress?

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is $300 a month a lot for a personal trainer?
Not if you train three times a month: at $100 per 45-minute session, $300 covers three sessions. Whether that’s a lot depends on how often you want to train and what you’re working towards.
How much should you pay for a personal trainer?
Pay for qualifications, program quality and personal attention rather than chasing the lowest price. A cheap session with little guidance rarely beats a well-planned one. With us, one-on-one training is $100 per 45 minutes, so you know the cost up front.
How much is a personal trainer for 1 hour?
Our sessions run for 45 minutes at $100, so we don’t list a one-hour price. If you’d prefer a longer session, ask when you enquire and we’ll work out what suits your goals and schedule.
What is the average cost of a personal trainer session in Melbourne?
Rates vary by trainer and setting, so there’s no single Melbourne average worth quoting. Ours is $100 for 45 minutes; comparing the qualifications, program and attention you get is more useful than chasing a citywide figure.
Do I need a referral to see a personal trainer?
No. You can book directly without a GP referral. If you have a health condition, it’s still worth checking with your GP before you start.
