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.

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

How sessions work

What a Session Looks Like: Strength, Movement and Conditioning

Every 45-minute workout follows the same shape. Your first week is built from what you can do today, and your program changes as you improve.

  1. 1

    Warm-up

    Mobility and activation for the joints you're about to load.

  2. 2

    Main block

    Lower body, upper body and trunk work, with the weight set to your ability.

  3. 3

    Conditioning

    Intervals, carries or circuits that lift your heart rate.

  4. 4

    Cool-down

    Breathing and stretching, so you leave feeling steady.

Strength Training and Conditioning

Our strength training follows the thinking of a strength and conditioning coach. Heavy compound lifts such as the squat or deadlift ask a lot of your central nervous system, so we place them early, while you're fresh. Lighter, higher-rep exercise and conditioning come once the big lifts are done.

Movement Quality First

Good movement comes before heavier loads. We coach the main patterns, squat, hinge, push, pull, lunge and carry, and only add load once each one feels controlled. Your body keeps moving well, and your progress stays steady.

What Happens in the First Session?

Your first session is a normal workout, not a sales pitch. We chat about your goals, check how you squat, hinge, push and pull, then train at a level that feels challenging but manageable, and explain what comes next.

Your goals

Goals We Train Towards

Whatever your fitness goal, we set it out at the start and plan backwards from it.

Your program moves forward in short challenge blocks, such as adding a rep, a round or a little load every fortnight. We build your physical fitness in steps small enough to repeat, drawing on exercise physiology principles, so the demands rise at a sensible pace.

Can Training Help With Weight Loss?

Yes. Training supports weight loss best alongside nutrition changes. Strength sessions help you keep muscle while you lose fat, and cardio adds to your weekly energy use. We focus on one small habit at a time, like regular meals or a daily walk, so your results last.

Most Clients Come to Us For:

  • Fat loss and body composition
  • General health and energy for work
  • Better mental health through regular training
  • A stronger aerobic base from steady aerobic exercise
  • Consistent habits you can keep
  • Simple nutrition basics

Train anywhere

No Gym in Your Building? We Adapt Your Program

Many of our clients train away from a full gym, so we build your program around whatever equipment is within reach.

That could be a hotel gym with a few dumbbells, your balcony, or a home gym with a rack and some free weights. With our mobile personal training, your workout travels with you, whether you're in Docklands, visiting family near Geelong or away for work.

What If My Building Has No Gym?

You still get a plan. We build your program with bodyweight, bands and compact gear, so you always know your next step.

Common Training Setups

  • Hotel gyms with limited equipment
  • Apartments with no gym
  • Home gyms with free weights, bands or a bench
  • Outdoor training along the waterfront

Choosing a format

Group Fitness or Private Training: Which Suits You?

The right format depends on what you need from a coach. Group fitness suits you if you enjoy energy and company, while one-on-one training gives you full attention on your technique and goals.

Group Class

A set pace and shared motivation, with less individual correction.

Private Sessions

Your program, your schedule and a coach watching every rep, without the crowd.

Injury or Sport Goals

Returning from injury or training for a sport? Private coaching lets us adjust every session as you progress.

Pricing

Worth it?

Is Personal Training Worth the Cost?

Yes, if you want a plan checked and adjusted by a coach who watches you move, and the cost buys real progress in your fitness and health. Free advice online can't correct your squat depth, shoulder position or pacing in the moment. That feedback is what your $100 buys, and it helps you train safely and keep showing up.
