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.

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.
Sharnese ThomsonClient review
★★★★★
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.

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

How sessions work

How We Plan Your Training Program

Every personal training session in Croydon runs for 45 minutes. Your program starts with a conversation and pre-exercise screening, not a template, so your trainer is creating and implementing appropriate training for your body and goal.

  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

Before you meet your trainer, you set up online: a short chat, the guides in our resource vault and a nutrition plan with calorie and protein targets. Start your scheduled program straight away rather than waiting. In the first session we talk through your goals, injuries and any advice from your GP or physio, then take you through a short, manageable workout. 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. Good functional movement makes stairs, lifting and play easier. Aerobic exercise and short blocks of high-intensity interval training come in once your base is solid.

Nutrition and habits between sessions

You get one-on-one coaching, nutrition guidance, and accountability through weekly check-ins, with one or two nutrition targets at a time, such as protein at each meal. 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.

Pricing

Personal Training Prices in Croydon

Personal trainer Croydon pricing is simple and stated up front, so you can plan your budget before you enquire.

Single session

$100 / 45 min

What do you pay per session?

A single session is $100 for 45 minutes. Costs scale in whole sessions, so you can match your spend to your goal:

  • $200 a month covers two sessions
  • $400 a month covers one session a week
  • $800 a month covers two sessions a week
  • Pay per session, with no lock-in contract

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
  • Regular check-ins on steps, protein and weigh-ins

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 and resistance training with free weights, cables and bodyweight build a stronger body, with squats, hinges, presses and rows added gradually. You get individual coaching in exercise technique, physical conditioning and program progression, so each rep is done well before it gets heavier.

A nutrition and weight loss program you can stick to

Lasting weight loss, personal training and nutrition work best together. We focus on keeping muscle while you drop fat, pairing 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 physical fitness your sport needs. With progressive overload, we raise the weight, repetitions or difficulty in small steps, and only when your technique stays solid.

Training around injuries

If you’re returning from an injury, we adjust movements, loads and ranges and build mobility in early. Rehabilitation is a slow rebuild, and some injuries need exercise physiology input first, so see an exercise physiologist before general training begins.

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. Private sessions suit people who want discretion and a comfortable pace, and we adjust every program to your health, training history and comfort level.

Women’s health and strength

If you’d feel more at ease with a female trainer, ask when you enquire and we’ll match you with Britt or Michaela. 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 first.

NDIS personal trainers in Croydon

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

Small group sessions

Group fitness suits people who enjoy a bit of community, and friends or family who want group training at a similar level. Our groups stay small, so every workout still includes technique coaching. Boxing pad work and circuit training are popular for building fitness, and if you like that style, ask and we’ll build similar blocks into your conditioning.

Before you book

What to Check When Choosing a Personal Trainer in Croydon

Whoever you book with, a few quick checks will tell you whether a trainer is qualified, insured and set up to train you where you want to train. Among croydon personal trainers, people relax once they see the paperwork, so ask for it at your first chat.

Questions worth asking

  • Do you hold current public liability insurance?
  • Do you hold a certificate or diploma on the Australian Qualifications Framework, issued by a registered training organisation?
  • Is your first aid certificate current?
  • Are you registered with Exercise & Sports Science Australia, where your role calls for it?
  • Do you hold a Working With Children Check if you train under-18s?
  • Will you complete pre-exercise screening before I lift a single weight?

What affects prices

Private coaching costs more than group training because one trainer’s attention is yours alone, while shared sessions spread that time across several people. A longer session, more visits each week or added nutrition support raises the total. With us, sessions are $100 for 45 minutes, with no lock-in contract.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a personal trainer cost in Croydon?

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. A budget of $400 a month covers four sessions, which suits people who do some of their own workouts in between.

How often should I train with a personal trainer?

Most clients do one or two coached sessions a week and follow their written program on other days. Expect around six months minimum for results to stick; somewhere around week 3 or 4 training stops feeling like effort and starts feeling like yours.

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, and do I need to wait to start?

Your first session is free and runs for 45 minutes. Before it, you work through our resource vault guides, get a nutrition plan and start tracking food and steps. Don't wait for a perfect start date: begin your scheduled program straight away, then your in-person trainer takes you through screening and a short, manageable workout. Bring water, a towel and details of any injuries.

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 Croydon?

Yes. Mention it when you enquire and we'll match you with a female trainer such as Britt or Michaela.
