Personal training that fits your life

You don’t need to be fit before you start. Whether you’re new to exercise, returning after a break or ready for a more structured program, your trainer helps you find a manageable starting point.

  • A program built around your goals and schedule
  • Clear instructions and feedback on your technique
  • Exercises adjusted to your current strength and fitness
  • Progress checks so you know what’s improving
  • Your trainer’s attention throughout the session

Australian Fitness Network works with beginners, busy professionals, parents, older adults and people training for sport. If you’d prefer a female trainer, let us know when you enquire.

What happens in a session?

Each 45-minute session has a clear plan. The exercises change as you improve, but you’ll know what you’re working on and why.

  1. Check in and warm up. Tell your trainer how you’re feeling, then prepare for the exercises ahead.
  2. Work on strength. Practise movements such as squats, hinges, pushes and pulls at a level that suits you.
  3. Build fitness and balance. Add supporting exercises, conditioning or core work according to your goals.
  4. Finish and review. Cool down, discuss the session and agree on your next steps.

Your trainer explains each exercise and adjusts the weight, repetitions or pace as needed. You’ll also learn techniques you can use when you exercise on your own.

A program built around your goals

Your Australian Fitness Network trainer starts with your goals, exercise experience and injury history. We then choose a mix of strength, mobility and conditioning work that suits you.

Strength training

Use free weights, machines or bodyweight exercises to build strength. As exercises become easier, your trainer gradually increases the weight, repetitions or difficulty.

Everyday movement

Practise movements that help with lifting, carrying and climbing stairs. Balance and mobility work can be included where they support your goals.

Cardio and conditioning

Your program can include steady aerobic exercise, intervals or endurance work. The intensity depends on your fitness and what you’re training for; every workout doesn’t need to be all-out.

Training around an injury

Tell us about any injuries or health concerns before you start, and share relevant advice from your treating clinician. We can discuss suitable adjustments and whether you need advice from a physiotherapist or accredited exercise physiologist before progressing.

Where can you train in Northcote?

Choose a setting that makes regular sessions practical. Our mobile personal trainers can bring equipment to your home or another agreed location. Ask about gym access, outdoor sessions and online coaching when you enquire.

For outdoor training, we’ll need to agree on a suitable location, access and a plan for poor weather. The map below shows Northcote as a service area, not a studio or office address.

Personal training prices

A one-to-one session costs $100 for 45 minutes. This includes a planned workout, warm-up, exercise coaching and cool-down. Your trainer adjusts the session to your ability and progress.

Three sessions cost $300; four sessions cost $400. Those are session totals, rather than a promise of weekly training throughout every calendar month. Tell us your budget and availability so we can discuss a realistic schedule.

Getting started with Australian Fitness Network

Talk about your goals

Tell us what you want to improve, when you’re available and where you’d like to train. We’ll also ask about your exercise experience and relevant injury history.

Find your starting point

Your trainer checks how you move and chooses exercises at a suitable level. You don’t need to know the equipment or have a program ready.

Train, review and adjust

Each session builds on the previous one. Your trainer reviews your progress and changes the program when your goals, schedule or ability change.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What qualifications and current first-aid training does the trainer hold?
  • How will the program suit your goals and any exercise restrictions?
  • Where will sessions take place, and is any venue access required?
  • For outdoor sessions, are the necessary council permits in place?
  • If a young person is training, does the trainer have the relevant Working with Children Check?

For disability-related training, see our NDIS personal training service and discuss your needs before booking. Funding suitability needs to be considered for your individual circumstances.

Frequently asked questions

How much should you pay for a personal trainer?

Australian Fitness Network charges $100 for a 45-minute one-to-one session. When comparing trainers, check the session length, qualifications and what the price includes.

How much does a personal trainer charge on average?

Prices vary by trainer, location and session length. Our price is $100 for 45 minutes; it isn’t an industry average. Compare similar sessions and ask whether programming or other support costs extra.

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

At our rate, $400 pays for four 45-minute sessions. Whether that suits you depends on your budget and the support you want. You can discuss combining coached sessions with exercise on your own.
