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.
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.

One-on-one 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.

How sessions work

How We Start: Screening, Assessment and Goals

Every personal training session in Heidelberg runs for 45 minutes. Your first sessions follow a set order, so nothing is guessed and nothing is rushed.

  1. 1

    Screen

    Pre-exercise screening covers your health history, medications and any past injury.

  2. 2

    Move

    A functional movement screen: how you squat, hinge, reach and balance.

  3. 3

    Plan

    A specific, realistic goal and a written program for your week.

  4. 4

    Review

    Regular check-ins, so the plan changes as you do.

Your first session

We talk through your goals, your week and any injury or advice from your GP or physio. Then we take you through a short, manageable workout, so you leave confident rather than sore. Your first session is free, as a 45-minute session or a goal-setting call.

Goals and exercise prescription

We agree on a goal that suits your schedule, such as lifting a set weight or dropping a clothing size. Then we write your exercise prescription: which exercises, how often and how hard. If you’re returning from musculoskeletal rehabilitation, we follow your treating practitioner’s advice and keep the load conservative.

Nutrition and habits between sessions

Every personalised plan comes with the app and a nutrition program. Practical sports nutrition guidance sets one or two targets at a time, and where it helps, a body composition analysis shows whether changes are fat loss or muscle gain.

Our 6-week program

The 6-Week Lean Body Reset

The 6-Week Lean Body Reset is a $1,399 program built on simple habits.

It includes two training sessions a week with your trainer, the coaching app, nutrition tracking and a set of guides. Your result comes down to how consistently you follow it.

What results can you realistically expect?

Hit 80% of the checklist and you’ll be happy with your result. Fat loss comes from doing the basics week after week, and most people find their energy and training improve too. Tell us your goal early so we can coach you towards it.

What gets in the way?

Work deadlines, school pick-ups and poor sleep are what usually knock people off track. Lock three to four workouts into your calendar before the week starts and they’re much harder to skip.

The weekly checklist

Every client follows the same plan each week:

  • Walk 10,000 steps a day.
  • Log your food in the app, hit your protein target and stay under your calories.
  • Weigh in on Sunday morning and fill in your check-in form.
  • Read all the guides in your first week.
  • Train at least 4 times a week: your 2 sessions with your trainer plus 2 on your own.

Pricing

Personal Training Prices in Heidelberg

Personal trainer Heidelberg pricing is simple and stated up front, so you can plan your budget before you enquire.

Single session

$100 / 45 min

What do you pay per session?

A single session is $100 for 45 minutes. Costs scale in whole sessions, so you can match your spend to your goal:

  • $200 a month covers two sessions
  • $400 a month covers one session a week
  • $800 a month covers two sessions a week
  • Pay per session, with no lock-in contract

Best for fat loss

6-Week Lean Body Reset

$1,399 / 6 weeks

What does the Lean Body Reset cost?

The 6-week program is $1,399. It includes:

  • Two training sessions each week
  • The coaching app and nutrition tracking
  • Guides and the weekly checklist
  • Regular check-ins on steps, protein and weigh-ins

Personal Training Compared With a Membership, Class or Online Program

A gym membership gives you access, but you design your own training. A group class offers energy and company, and an online program gives you flexibility without anyone correcting your form. One-on-one sessions give you a coach who watches your technique and adjusts the plan in real time.

Who suits single sessions?

Single sessions suit people who already eat well, or who want one-on-one technique work around a busy diary. If you want nutrition tracking, guides and weekly check-ins as well, the package is the better fit.

Who suits the 6-week package?

The package suits people who want to lose fat with structure: two sessions a week, a clear program and someone checking in on them. If you only want the odd session, go with single sessions.

How we train

Strength, Functional and Weight Loss Programs

Every program we write starts from what you want your body to do, then gets built around your schedule and ability.

Strength and resistance training

Strength training uses machines, free weights, bands and kettlebell training. It suits you if you want more muscle, sturdier joints or easier daily tasks. We use progressive overload, nudging weight, repetitions or control up in small steps once the current load feels solid, which keeps each exercise clean and cuts the chance of injury.

Functional training and conditioning

Functional training builds the patterns you use outside the workout: squatting, carrying, pushing, pulling and rotating. We add conditioning through circuits and high-intensity interval training when you’re ready, so movement quality stays ahead of intensity and your performance on the weekend footy or tennis court improves.

Weight loss with nutrition support

Weight loss comes from a plan you can keep, not a crash effort. We pair two resistance sessions a week with cardio, a daily step target and simple nutrition targets.

Strength training

Free weights, bands and kettlebells, loaded in small steps.

Weight loss

Training plus simple nutrition targets you can keep.

Functional

Squat, carry, push, pull and rotate with control.

HIIT

Short, hard intervals once your base is ready.

Private, female & NDIS training

Private and Female Personal Training, Plus NDIS-Supported Sessions

If you prefer training away from a crowded floor, our private and female options give you space to focus. Both suit people who want a calm start and a personalised approach, and you progress at your own pace.

Private one-on-one sessions

You get our full attention, so you’re not waiting for equipment or training in front of a busy gym. That makes it easier to learn technique and ask questions. Many clients also find a quiet setting, whether at home, outdoors or in one of the network’s gyms, helps their mental health, since exercise feels less like a performance.

Training with a female trainer

Some women feel more comfortable with a female trainer, such as Britt or Michaela. We’re happy to discuss women’s health needs, from postnatal and perimenopause-aware training to how your body changes through the month. Tell us your preference when you enquire and we’ll match your sessions.

NDIS and small group sessions

We coach NDIS participants, and you’re welcome to bring a support worker or carer. Read more about our NDIS personal training. Our small groups stay small, so every workout still includes hands-on technique coaching.

Before you book

Choosing the Best Personal Trainer in Heidelberg: Qualifications and Reviews

The best trainer for you is one whose credentials check out and whose approach matches your goals. A confident instructor will happily explain how they coach.

Qualifications worth checking

  • A Certificate III and IV in Fitness, which sit within the Australian Qualifications Framework
  • Registration or membership linked to Exercise & Sports Science Australia, especially if you have a health condition
  • Current first aid and CPR, plus experience with your sport or goal
  • Reviews that describe punctuality, progress and how a trainer handles setbacks, rather than star counts alone

If you plan to train in a public park, also ask your trainer to confirm what the City of Banyule requires of them.

Exercise physiology or personal training?

Healthdirect states that people can see an exercise physiologist without a referral, but without one they may have to pay the full cost themselves. Exercise physiology is clinical care for a diagnosed condition, often delivered through hospital-linked services such as Austin Hospital and Repatriation Hospital. Personal training is different: we build general exercise programs for your health and fitness goals, and we don’t treat medical conditions. Both can sit alongside each other if your health professional agrees.
