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

- 1
Warm-up
Mobility and activation for the joints you'll load.
- 2
Main work
The strength and cardio blocks planned for that day.
- 3
Cool-down
Easy movement and stretching to bring your heart rate down.

Review
We log the session and set up your next one.
Your First Session and Assessment
We start with a short health screen and a body composition assessment, so we know where your body is today. Then a light movement check shows how you squat, hinge and push.
Building a Personalised Program
Your goal decides your plan, which might include two strength workouts a week built around a few key lifts, cardio that suits your fitness from brisk walking to intervals, and home exercise between sessions, so you keep progressing between visits. Every exercise is instructor-led, coached and adjusted on the day.
Breaking Through a Plateau
In our experience, a weight-loss stall doesn't mean your program has failed. If you've been consistent for months and the scales stop moving, you usually need a fresh plan, tighter food logging and regular check-ins, not more effort. We rebuild your next few weeks around those three things, and results start moving again.
Training methods
Training Methods We Use
Our experienced coaches draw on exercise science and choose the method that suits you, not a class timetable.
Strength and Resistance Work
- Strength training: builds muscle, supports your joints and lifts your resting energy use
- Resistance training: bands, cables and machines load movements safely when you're new or returning
- Progressive overload: small steps in weight, reps or control, so you keep improving without big jumps
Conditioning, Kettlebells and Mobility
- Kettlebell training: swings and carries build power, grip and fitness at once
- Functional training: lunges, carries and lifts that mirror daily tasks like picking up kids or groceries
- Mobility training: keeps your hips, shoulders and spine moving well and eases stiffness
- High-intensity interval training: short, hard efforts for cardio fitness when time is tight, used once you're ready
As a member of our studio, you get one coach and one plan, and we change the mix as your fitness improves.
Supportive coaching
Supportive Training After Injury and for Female Clients
Coming back from a setback, juggling school pick-ups or managing women's health changes? We adapt every session to where you are now, not where a generic plan assumes you should be.
Returning to Training After an Injury
After an injury, we start with what you can do comfortably and build from there, working alongside advice from your GP or physio. Rushing back usually means starting again, so we keep your progress steady.
Female-Friendly, Private Coaching
Female clients often tell us they feel more relaxed in a private studio, with no crowded floor and nobody watching. You set the pace, ask anything and train without pressure, and every member of our team coaches the same supportive way.
How We Adapt Your Sessions
- Lower loads and slower tempo while movement quality returns
- Exercise swaps that avoid a sore joint but keep you moving
- Shorter, steadier sessions for busy parents with limited energy
- Adjusted intensity around pregnancy, postnatal recovery or menopause
How to Judge Trainer Reviews
Treat reviews as a starting point. Look for comments about how an experienced instructor listens, explains and adapts, not just dramatic results, then see how the trainer talks to you in your first conversation.
Formats and pricing
One-on-One, Weekly Sessions or Online Coaching?
The right format depends on how closely you want us involved and what you want to spend. Every face-to-face session runs for 45 minutes and costs $100, so you can plan your weekly budget before you begin.
Per session
$100 / 45 min
How Often Should You Train?
- One session a week: accountability and a steady routine
- Two sessions a week ($200): faster strength gains and bigger weight goals
- One session plus an app program: keeps you training between visits
- A lighter schedule: ideal when returning to exercise after a break
Already on track?
When Online Coaching Is Enough
If you're already losing weight at a steady pace, online coaching keeps that momentum going. We review your app account on a recorded screen-share and give you direction, motivation and accountability. It suits you if you know the exercises and mainly need regular check-ins.
If progress slows or your technique needs attention, you can move back to in-person sessions at any time.

No. $400 a month is a fair spend for one-on-one coaching: at $100 per 45-minute session, it covers four sessions. Whether it suits you depends on your goal and how closely you want to be coached.
How Often Should I Train With a Personal Trainer in Essendon?
Most people do well with one or two sessions a week, depending on their goal and available time. We adjust your schedule as you progress, so it can change when your goals or your week do.
