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.

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.

Common worries before starting personal training

Personal trainer Kew client before and after weight lossBeforeAfter

“I start well, then life gets busy and I stop.”

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.

Personal training in Kew

We’ve coached more than 1,950 clients over 29 years. Most of them knew what to do already. What they needed was a plan that fitted their week and someone expecting them at 7am.

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 Your Training Program Is Built

Every personal training session in Kew runs for 45 minutes. Before the first one, we sit down and plan where you’re heading.

  1. 1

    Consult

    Your goal, health history and any injuries or niggles.

  2. 2

    Assess

    We check how you squat, hinge, push, pull and balance.

  3. 3

    Plan

    Exercises, loads and how many sessions a week suit you.

  4. 4

    Progress

    We raise the challenge as your body adapts.

Your first session

We ask what you want to achieve, what you’ve tried before and how your health is now. Then we test how you move, set your starting loads and take you through a short workout. Your first session is free, so you can see how we work before you pay a cent.

Progressive overload, one step at a time

Progressive overload means asking your body to do a little more over time, so strength builds safely. We usually change one thing at a time, such as the weight, the number of reps or the tempo, and we record it so progress is measured, not guessed.

Strength, cardio and recovery

We mix strength work with aerobic exercise to lift your overall fitness, and we plan rest days too. Regular exercise is good for your mental health as well as your body, so we ask how you’re feeling, not only what you lifted.

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 Kew

Personal trainer Kew 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

Coached Small Group Strength Training in Kew

Small group strength training in Kew gives you a coach’s eye at a shared cost.

We keep numbers low, so every person is watched and corrected throughout. Each class follows the same structure, and the coach scales every exercise to the person doing it:

  • A short warm-up with mobility drills
  • Main lifts, with loads set for each person
  • A conditioning finisher to close out the workout

One-on-one or small group: which suits you?

Choose one-on-one training if you have an injury, a specific target or you simply want your trainer’s full attention. Choose a small group if you enjoy company and want steady strength training with a coach guiding your loads.

Managing back pain and old injuries

If you have back pain or an old injury, we adjust the exercises, range of motion and load to suit. Where it’s needed, we’ll suggest you check in with your GP or physio, and we’ll follow their advice.

Strength training

Heavier, lower-rep lifts for stronger legs, back and posture.

Small groups

Two to a handful of people, each coached on their own loads.

Conditioning

Intervals and carries that build stamina without wrecking you.

Mobility

Hips, shoulders and spine that move freely under load.

Where you train

Where You Train: Outdoors, at the Gym or at Home

We train clients in three settings, and you can switch between them as your week changes.

Outdoors near the river

The flat paths through Yarra Bend Park and along the Yarra River are ideal for walking or jogging between sessions. The slopes around Studley Park are great for hill walks that build stamina and leg strength. Coached outdoor sessions follow the local council and Parks Victoria rules for personal trainers.

At the gym

Best for heavier lifting and steady progress, with racks, dumbbells and machines on hand.

Mobile, at your home

We come to your home or garage with the equipment. It’s ideal when time is tight or the school run makes travel hard.

Credentials & safety

Credentials, Safety and Health Promotion

Before you book any trainer, ask to see their qualifications. We hold ourselves to the same checks we suggest you make, so you can compare us with confidence.

What to check before you book

Look for registration or membership with bodies such as Exercise & Sports Science Australia, the National Strength and Conditioning Association or the American College of Sports Medicine. A current Working With Children Check matters if a trainer coaches teenagers or works around families. Good questions to ask any trainer:

  • Which qualifications do you hold, and who issued them?
  • Are your first aid and CPR current?
  • Do you hold current insurance?
  • How do you adjust a program for pain or injury?

Training for long-term health

We treat training as one part of your long-term wellbeing. That means habits you can keep, such as good sleep, proper recovery and sensible progress, rather than quick fixes. If you’re a National Disability Insurance Scheme participant, see our NDIS personal training page and we’ll talk through whether our coaching suits your goals.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much should you spend on a personal trainer?

Spend what suits your goal, your budget and your week. Sessions with us are $100 for 45 minutes, so three sessions cost $300. Start with a number of sessions you can keep up, then adjust once you see how you’re progressing.

How much does a personal trainer charge on average?

We charge $100 per 45-minute session, and rates vary between trainers and formats. When you compare trainers, look at session length, coaching style and what each session includes, not just the price.

Is $400 a month a lot for a personal trainer?

Not necessarily. $400 covers four sessions at $100, or one a week. Whether that’s good value depends on how often you want coaching and what you’re working towards. Turning up consistently matters more than the monthly total.

What should I bring to my first session?

Bring water, a towel, comfortable shoes and activewear. It also helps to tell us your main goal, any past or current injuries (and any advice from your GP or physio) and which days suit you.

Do I need a gym membership to train with a personal trainer in Kew?

No. You can train at home, outdoors or at one of our gyms. When we come to you, we bring the equipment.

Can I book a female personal trainer in Kew?

Yes. Mention it when you enquire and we’ll match you with a female trainer such as Britt or Michaela.
