Over the past year, training with Anthony and the Fitness Image 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 personalized 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.

Common worries before starting personal training

Fitness Network client before and after personal trainingBeforeAfter

Personal training in Doncaster

Looking for a Personal Trainer in Doncaster?

If you want a personal trainer in Doncaster that locals can rely on, Australian Fitness Network offers coach-led personal training built around your fitness goal.

We offer private, coach-led sessions that fit around your week. Each session runs 45 minutes and costs $100, so you know exactly what to expect. Get 100% private, mobile personal training anywhere in Doncaster and greater Melbourne, one to one with a professional trainer.

Private sessions built around your goal

Every program is personalised to your goal, your lifestyle and your week. Coaching continues between sessions, whether you want weight loss, strength or more energy.

Where most Doncaster clients start

Most people begin their fitness journey with fat loss. We pair training with calorie and protein targets and plan for plateaus, because body weight often stalls once the early drop is done. We also adjust sessions around old injuries, so a sore shoulder changes the exercises, not the goal.

  • $100Per 45-minute session. Coaching, planning and follow-up between visits.
  • 100% private, one to one. No waiting for equipment and no audience.
  • Home, park or gym. We come to you anywhere in Doncaster and greater Melbourne.
  • NDIS personal trainers. Support for people living with disability.
  • Female trainer on request. Just mention it when you enquire.

Outdoor sessions

Training along the Koonung Trail: a Linear-Park Option for Doncaster-Area Outdoor Sessions

The Koonung Creek Linear Park runs about 10 km alongside the Eastern Freeway, from Thompsons Road in Bulleen to Springvale Road in Donvale.

Its shared Koonung Trail for walkers and cyclists connects to the Main Yarra Trail and the EastLink Trail, so the Koonung Creek Reserve corridor suits exercise outside the gym.

Is a permit needed for training in a park?

Manningham City Council has a permit for sports or personal training on public land or council facilities. It covers personal training and circuit training, and each location may have its own requirements.

Confirm the permit details before planning a session. Trail details are on the council page.

How sessions work

What a 45-Minute Session Includes

Every session follows the same simple rhythm, so you always know what to expect.

  1. 1

    Check-in

    A short chat about sleep, soreness and how the week has gone.

  2. 2

    Workout

    The main workout, with technique coaching on every lift.

  3. 3

    Update

    We update your plan so the next session builds on this one.

  4. 4

    Targets

    We set nutrition targets for the days ahead.

Compare your options

Solo Trainer, Gym-Based PT or Franchise?

Choose by how much support and flexibility you want.

A solo trainer can adjust your program week to week and stay in touch between sessions. If you already pay for a gym membership, we can build your program around it and load those workouts into the app.

Budget matters too

Some people love in-person sessions but find the cost adds up, so they swap to lighter online coaching and keep their weight loss steady. Around 0.5 kg a week is a sustainable pace for most people.

Before you hire

How to Choose the Best Personal Trainer in Doncaster

The best personal trainer for you is a qualified one whose style suits your goals. Use this checklist before you commit.

Reading reviews and asking for a female trainer

Look for reviews that describe the process and the coaching style, not just a happy ending. Several detailed reviews tell you more than a perfect score. If you’d feel more comfortable with a female trainer, ask when you enquire and we’ll talk through the options.

Qualifications and registrations to check

  • Membership of a registered professional body, such as Exercise and Sports Science Australia or Sports Medicine Australia.
