How sessions work
How We Plan Your Training Program
Every personal training session in Dandenong runs for 45 minutes. Your program starts with a goal-setting conversation, not a template.
- 1
Chat
Your goal, training history, injuries and the days you can train.
- 2
Move
Simple movement patterns, at a level that suits you.
- 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
Your first session is free and runs for 45 minutes, at your home, outdoors or in one of our gyms. We start with a goal-setting conversation and talk through your week, any injury and any advice from your GP or physio. Then we take you through a short, manageable workout, so you leave confident rather than sore.
A routine you can keep
We build each week around the days you can train, mixing functional training such as kettlebell carries and step-ups with mobility work. These train your core and grip strength for everyday life. We add load with progressive overload, and we only test a one-repetition maximum if it suits you. Short blocks of high-intensity interval training come in once your base is solid.
Nutrition and busy weeks
The biggest challenge we see is a crowded week, so we build around what your week realistically allows. A typical setup is two sessions with us, one self-directed workout and an easy walk, with simple nutrition targets such as steps and protein. After a night shift we keep sessions flexible and swap in a version you prefer, such as dumbbell variations.
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 is resistance training that builds skeletal muscle, supports your bones and makes everyday tasks easier. Lifting weights improves body composition without making you bulky, because muscle hypertrophy takes steady loading over many months. Grip strength is a simple sign that you’re getting stronger.
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, and muscle helps support your metabolic rate. The 6-Week Lean Body Reset is $1,399 and combines coaching with nutrition targets and check-ins: 10,000 steps a day, tracked food to hit protein and calorie goals, two workouts a week with your trainer, two on your own and a weekly weigh-in.
Conditioning, cardio and sport
For athletes, strength conditioning builds the power, speed and fitness a sport needs, and it improves performance. Circuit training and high-intensity interval training lift your VO2 max, while steadier endurance training builds the base that makes harder sessions easier to recover from. Other formats, such as boxing for full-body cardio or reformer pilates for flexibility and core control, can sit alongside coached training.
Strength training
Weights 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
If you’re searching for a women’s gym in Dandenong, comfort matters as much as the program. Whether you picture a women’s gym or private training, your coach sets the level and the challenge, and you progress at your own pace.
Female trainers and women’s health
Female trainers are available on request, such as Britt or Michaela. We plan around women’s health, including energy changes across your month, and we train women through postnatal recovery and perimenopause. If you’re postnatal or managing a health condition, it’s wise to check with your GP first.
NDIS personal trainers in Dandenong
We coach National Disability Insurance Scheme participants. Each session is adapted to the participant, and you’re welcome to bring a support worker or carer. Read more about our NDIS personal training.
Small group sessions
Group personal training shares a trainer’s attention across a small group, and at many providers group formats can cost less per person. A gym membership is a cheap way in, and a class or club timetable suits people who like fixed times. One-to-one is the best choice if you want a plan tailored to your body, though a group you’ll attend beats sessions you skip.
