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.

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.

It’s hard to keep going when your week gets turned upside down. We’ll help you adjust your plan on busy weeks and get back into it after a break. You won’t have to work out your next step alone.

Who Personal Training Suits

Personal training suits anyone with a clear goal, whether that's building confidence in a gym, regaining strength after a break or preparing for an event.

1-on-1 coaching

Best if you want your trainer’s full attention, whether you’re a beginner, working around an injury or short on time. Your trainer adjusts every exercise as you go.

Small-group and semi-private training

  • Small group: suits friends or colleagues who want to train together and share the cost of a weekly session.
  • Semi-private: suits two or three people with similar goals who still want close coaching.

Your program

Personal Training Programs Built Around Your Goals

Every program draws on a few core styles, mixed to suit your goals. Your coach chooses the balance, and you can change it as your priorities shift.

Strength Training and Weight Work

Strength training is the base of most plans. We use free weights, machines and bodyweight work to build muscle and bone strength.

  • Squats, lunges and deadlift variations
  • Presses, rows and pull-downs
  • Core work with light equipment

Cardio and Aerobic Exercise

Cardio lifts your physical fitness and supports heart health. Aerobic exercise can be steady or interval-based, depending on your capacity.

  • Rowing, bike and treadmill intervals
  • Brisk incline walking
  • Outdoor circuits

Functional Training for Mobility and Strength

Functional training prepares you for everyday movement, such as carrying the shopping, climbing stairs or getting up off the floor. Each exercise targets balance, mobility and control.

  • Step-ups and carries
  • Hip and shoulder mobility drills
  • Single-leg balance work

Group Training Options

If you'd like company, we can pair you with a friend or partner in a small group. Between sessions, any gym with free weights lets you practise what we've covered. As you progress, we usually change the plan every few weeks, because what worked early on often stops challenging you.

Getting started

Beginner-Friendly Personal Training: Consultation and First Sessions

Starting out can feel daunting, so we build beginner-friendly personal training around a calm first conversation and steady early wins.

  1. 1

    Consultation

    A relaxed chat about your history, injuries, schedule and main goal.

  2. 2

    Your Plan

    After the consultation, we map a personalised plan that is realistic for your week and your fitness level, so nothing feels like a leap.

  3. 3

    Early Habits

    Track what you eat and build up your daily steps, so those habits are in place by the time training with us begins.

  4. 4

    First Sessions

    Warm-up, main work and technique coaching, with the load matched to how you feel.

What to Look for in a Personal Trainer in Fitzroy

Look for a trainer who plans around you, explains what they're doing and keeps sessions focused on your goals: easy to reach in Fitzroy on foot, by bike or by tram, private one-on-one sessions, a clear first consultation before any training starts, and recognised fitness qualifications with a plan that changes as you improve.

Certified and Experienced Coaching

Your coach is a dedicated, certified trainer who has completed fitness qualifications through the Australian Institute of Fitness pathway, so your program rests on recognised training rather than guesswork. We keep that knowledge current and adjust sessions to how you move and recover.

Working Alongside Your GP and Allied Health

If you have an injury, a medical condition or a long-term health concern, involve your GP first. An accredited exercise physiology professional, recognised through Exercise & Sports Science Australia, can be a useful partner for clinical needs. We then fit your training around their advice, so your wellness goals and fitness progress move in the same direction.

Holistic approach

Nutrition, Health and a Holistic Approach

We take a holistic approach to training. Your nutrition, sleep, stress and general health shape how your body responds to exercise, so your plan looks at all of them, not only what happens in the gym.

Nutrition Habits That Support Training

Small, repeatable changes work better than strict rules. We start with what you already eat, then adjust things like protein at meals, regular meal times and drinking enough water. Tracking your food for a couple of weeks shows us where the easy wins are.

Habits We Build With You

  • Protein at each meal
  • Regular meal times
  • Enough water through the day
  • Better sleep and lower stress
  • A gradual build-up in daily steps

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Does a Personal Trainer Cost in Fitzroy?

Sessions are $100 per 45 minutes, so $300 covers three sessions and $400 covers four. Every session is one-on-one, so the full 45 minutes goes towards your own program and goals.

Is Personal Training Suitable for Beginners?

Yes, personal training suits beginners well. Your program starts with a consultation and builds from your current fitness level, so exercises, loads and pace match where you are now, not where someone else thinks you should be.

Do I Need to Wait for My First Session to Start?

No, you can begin straight away. Track what you eat and build up your daily steps gradually before your first session, so you arrive with some momentum already behind you.

Is a Six-Week Program a Fixed Finish Date?

No. Six weeks is a guideline, not a hard deadline, and we adjust if life gets in the way. As the sessions add up, your confidence grows and we raise the challenge to match.
