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. I’ve seen significant improvements in my general fitness and strength while feeling more energised and confident.

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.

My regular sessions with Sebastian have been amazing. He’s punctual, extremely attentive, and makes exercise enjoyable. Under his guidance, I’ve never been in better shape, and his approach keeps me motivated and engaged throughout each session.

Armstrong took time to understand my fitness goals and asked insightful questions. His ability to shift my mindset from just weight loss to overall health and strength made all the difference. The personalised approach helped me achieve sustainable long-term results.

Looking for a trainer who could accommodate my apartment gym, I discovered Armstrong. His sessions are incredibly fun and motivating, pushing me toward my goals while maintaining excellent balance between challenge and enjoyment. He’s an all-around great person.

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.

One-on-One Training in a Private Studio

Our private personal training studio gives you our full attention, with guidance on technique and the exercise equipment you'd find in a gym, minus the crowds. It suits anyone who wants a quiet space to learn movements properly.

Mobile Personal Training at Elwood Beach and the Parks

Our mobile personal sessions come to you at Elwood Beach, Elwood Park, Point Ormond or along the Elwood Canal. A park bench, a set of stairs and a stretch of sand are all we need to build a solid session in Elwood, Victoria.

Group Training and Fitness Boot Camp

Group training lets you train alongside friends or neighbours while we scale each exercise to every client. Our fitness boot camp format keeps the energy up and the cost per head down.

Your week

What a Week of Training Looks Like

Whichever format you choose, we build every week around a simple standard, then book it in so it happens. You'll always know what's coming and why.

  • Strength2strength sessions a week
  • Cardio2cardio sessions a week
  • Steps10,000steps a day, or thereabouts
  • Booked in3–4workouts in your calendar before the week begins

Two Strength and Two Cardio Sessions, Plus Daily Steps

Losing about a kilogram a week usually takes two strength sessions, two cardio sessions and around 10,000 steps a day. Aerobic exercise covers the cardio side, and steps fill the gaps between sessions. You can always do more, but this is the baseline that moves your goal along and supports healthy physical fitness.

If your schedule shifts from week to week, we get 3 to 4 workouts into your calendar before the week begins. A booked workout is far harder to skip than a planned one.

Start Before Your First Session

Your program starts the day you sign up, not the day we first meet. Before session one:

  • Open the app and begin your training tasks
  • Practise logging your food daily
  • Read through the nutrition guides

That early momentum carries straight into the studio. Our support and your own accountability work together from day one, and the six-week timeline is a guide rather than a hard finish line.

Why Your Plan Changes Every Four Weeks

Your body adapts quickly to a repeated routine, so our coaching refreshes your program every 4 weeks. New exercises and loads keep progress steady and healthy habits interesting.

Programs

Strength, Interval and Circuit Methods We Coach

We match the method to your goal and the equipment on hand, whether that's a gym, a studio or a park. Every method below builds general fitness, and each suits a different exercise preference.

Strength and Resistance Training

  • Strength training with barbells and dumbbells suits you if you want to build muscle and lift heavier over time.
  • Resistance training with bands and bodyweight suits beginners and anyone training outdoors. A kettlebell adds swings and carries for hips, back and grip.

High-Intensity Intervals and Circuits

  • High-intensity interval training alternates hard efforts with short rests. It suits busy people who want results in a compact block.
  • Circuit training moves you through stations with little rest, which keeps aerobic exercise high and suits groups.

Functional Work and TRX Suspension Training

  • Functional training reflects everyday movement such as squatting, pushing and carrying. It suits older clients and anyone returning from a break.
  • TRX suspension training uses straps to build core control. The light equipment travels easily to the beach or park.

Cheap Versus Best Value Personal Training

Cheap sessions can mean larger groups or less individual attention, so compare what you actually get. The best value is a personal trainer who watches your technique and changes your plan as you improve.

When you compare trainers' prices, the real cost is whether you keep turning up and getting results. We build each session so that training in Elwood stays something you can sustain week after week.

Outdoor sessions

Training Outdoors in Elwood: What a Trainer Needs to Be Licensed to Run Sessions on the Foreshore and Parks

If you train outdoors, it helps to know the rules. Any trainer running a fitness session on public land in the City of Port Phillip needs a licence agreement with Council.

The approved Elwood locations are Elwood Beach, Elwood Foreshore, Elwood Park and Elwood School Reserve. Ask any trainer for their licence and insurance details. The approved-sites map is dated 2016, so confirm current requirements with Council.

What the Licence Involves

  • A current first aid certificate and CPR
  • Public liability insurance with a $20 million minimum
  • Professional indemnity insurance
  • Registration with a recognised body such as Fitness Australia

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the usual fee for a personal trainer?

With Australian Fitness Network, a 45-minute session is $110, though fees vary by trainer and format. That rate reflects one-on-one attention, a program built around your goals and a trainer who adjusts each session to how you're moving on the day.

How much should I pay my personal trainer?

Pay for qualifications, programming and accountability rather than time alone, and here that means $110 per 45-minute session. A trainer who plans your progression, checks your technique and follows up between sessions is doing more than counting reps.

Is $300 a month a lot for a personal trainer?

Not necessarily, but $300 covers two sessions at $110 with a little left over. Judge it against how often you need to train with a coach and what support is included, such as a written program for the days you train alone.

Where is your Elwood studio?

Our private personal training studio is at Suite B, 68/70 Ormond Road, Elwood. We also run mobile sessions at Elwood Beach, Elwood Park, Point Ormond and along the Elwood Canal.

Do you come to other suburbs?

Yes. Our mobile personal trainers travel to clients in Elsternwick, Ripponlea, Brighton, St Kilda, Balaclava, Albert Park, Middle Park and Caulfield. If you live in another nearby suburb, ask us and we'll tell you whether we can reach you.
