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 Murrumbeena 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 Trainers in Murrumbeena: What One-on-One Coaching Looks Like

If you’re looking for a personal trainer in Murrumbeena, we offer one-on-one coaching built around your body, your schedule and your health.

Every session has a single focus: you. Your trainer plans the workout before you arrive, demonstrates each movement and adjusts the load as you improve, so your technique stays sound and your progress stays steady. We train clients at home, in local parks around Murrumbeena and Glen Eira, or in one of our gyms, and we bring the equipment when we come to you.

We’ve trained more than 1,950 clients over 29 years. Most of them already knew what to do; they just needed someone expecting them at 7am.

Who personal training suits

We work with people at very different starting points, from complete beginners to those coming back after a long break:

  • Adults working towards a specific goal, such as strength or stamina
  • Busy parents and shift workers who need sessions that fit their week
  • Older clients who want to stay strong, steady and independent
  • Anyone who feels lost in a group class and wants individual attention
  • $100Per 45-minute session. One trainer, fully focused on you.
  • $1,3996-Week Lean Body Reset. Two sessions a week, plus the coaching app and nutrition tracking.
  • M / FMale and female trainers. One-on-one or in small groups.
  • Home, park or gym. We bring dumbbells, kettlebells, bands, suspension straps and mats to you.
  • No lock-in contract. Pay per session.

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 Sessions Run and How Progress Is Measured

Every personal training session in Murrumbeena runs for 45 minutes, wherever suits you: your home, a local park or one of our gyms. If we come to you, we bring the equipment. Here’s how each session runs.

  1. 1

    Check-in

    How you’re feeling, any sore spots and what we’re working on today.

  2. 2

    Warm-up

    Gets your joints and muscles ready to work.

  3. 3

    Workout

    Your planned exercises, coached set by set.

  4. 4

    Cool-down

    A stretch, a quick recap and the plan for next session.

Your first session

We talk through your goal and health history, test how you move to set a starting load, then take you through a short workout and plan your next steps. Your first session is free, so you can see how we work before you pay a cent.

Tracking strength and fitness over time

We record your numbers so progress is measured, not guessed: your rating of perceived exertion (how hard a set feels), one-repetition maximum on key lifts, and VO2 max estimates for cardio fitness. We review them regularly and adjust your program as they change.

What does the $100 session include?

A session is $100 for 45 minutes with a professional trainer who plans and coaches the whole workout, from warm-up to cool-down. Programs follow guidelines from the American College of Sports Medicine and the National Strength and Conditioning Association.

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 Murrumbeena

Personal trainer Murrumbeena 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

Training Programs Built Around Your Goals

Every program starts with your goal, then works backwards to the workouts that will get you there.

We choose the mix after a short chat about what you want to achieve, what you’ve done before and how much time you have each week.

Strength training and resistance training

We use strength training when you want to lift heavier and feel more capable day to day, and resistance training with bands, machines or lighter weights when you’re new to lifting or returning after a break. Either way, we increase the load gradually through progressive overload, so your strength builds without guesswork.

Cardio, HIIT and endurance training

Cardio builds steadier energy and a stronger heart, at a pace you can hold a conversation through. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) packs hard efforts and short rests into a brief workout, so it works when time is tight. Endurance training builds the stamina for a fun run or a long ride.

Functional training for everyday movement

Functional training is for carrying the shopping, getting up off the floor or playing with the kids without a twinge. The exercises mimic real-life movement patterns, with mobility work built in so your joints move freely under load.

Strength training

Heavy, low-rep lifts for stronger legs, back and posture.

Resistance training

Moderate weights that build muscle and protect your joints.

HIIT

Short, hard intervals. Big fitness gains in little time.

Functional training

Lift, carry, squat and reach with confidence in daily life.

Weight loss & nutrition

Weight Loss, Nutrition and Lifestyle Habits

Lasting weight loss comes from training that builds muscle and eating habits you can keep up, not from a harsh diet that falls apart by week three.

Sustainable weight loss without crash diets

We pair your sessions with small, realistic changes that suit your body and routine, so your health improves along the way. Our guidance stays general: for clinical nutrition, medical conditions or sports nutrition plans, we refer you to an Accredited Practising Dietitian through Dietitians Australia or Sports Dietitians Australia.

Everyday nutrition habits

  • Building balanced plates with sensible portions
  • Eating enough protein to support recovery
  • Drinking enough water and planning meals ahead
  • Sleep and stress habits that affect your appetite

Injuries & safe movement

Injury, Mobility and Safe Movement

A past injury doesn’t have to stop you training. We work around sore areas, build mobility where it’s lacking and follow whatever your GP or physio has advised.

Training around an existing injury

Common starting points include a niggling back, knee or shoulder, returning after surgery or a long break, and stiffness from desk work. Our coaching follows Exercise & Sports Science Australia guidelines, and we scale every movement to what your body handles well. Confidence usually returns once a movement stops hurting.

NDIS participants

If you’re a National Disability Insurance Scheme participant, get in touch and we’ll talk through whether our coaching suits your health needs and goals. See our NDIS personal training in Melbourne page for more detail.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much should you pay for a personal trainer?

With us, a session is $100 for 45 minutes, and your overall spend depends on how many sessions a week your goal needs. Someone building strength from scratch may want more sessions, while others do well with fewer and train on their own in between.

What is the usual fee for a personal trainer?

Fees generally reflect session length and the trainer’s experience. Ours is $100 per 45 minutes, which covers one-on-one coaching with a trainer who plans each session around your goals, current fitness and any injuries.

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

Not with us. $300 covers three sessions at $100 each, which suits a lighter schedule: roughly one session a fortnight plus self-guided workouts in between. You still get regular coaching without committing to weekly sessions.

How much is a personal trainer for 1 hour?

Our sessions run for 45 minutes at $100, so we don’t list a 60-minute rate. If you’d like a longer session, ask us about the options when you enquire.

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 advice from your GP or physio), how often you can realistically train, and any exercises you love or would rather avoid.

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

No. Train at home, outdoors in a local park, or at one of our gyms. When we come to you, we bring the equipment.

Can I book a female personal trainer in Murrumbeena?

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