How sessions work
How We Plan Your Training Program
Every personal training session in Parkville runs for 45 minutes. Your program starts with an assessment and a movement check, not a template.
- 1
Chat
Your goal, training history, any injury or condition, and the days you can train.
- 2
Screen
How you squat, hinge, push, pull and balance.
- 3
Plan
A written plan with starting loads and weekly targets.
- 4
Review
Regular check-ins, so the plan changes as you do.
Your first session
We talk through your history, your week, any injury, medication or advice from your doctor, then check how you move. A typical session has a warm-up with mobility work, main lifts or circuits scaled to your level, and a short cool-down with a plan for the week ahead. Your first session is free.
A routine you can keep
We build each week around the days you can train, mixing functional training such as squats, carries and step-ups with mobility work. Your program uses progressive overload, small and steady increases in load so your body keeps adapting. Aerobic exercise builds stamina, and short blocks of high-intensity interval training come in once your base is solid.
Online coaching and nutrition between sessions
With online coaching, your first session is the start of your program, not a trial run, so we ask you to begin the training tasks and food tracking straight away. We set one or two nutrition targets at a time, ask for basics like your age and height, and have you connect Apple Health or Fitbit so we can follow your daily steps. We also check your lifestyle, sleep and energy.
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.

$1,399 / 6 weeks
What does the Lean Body Reset cost?

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, Weight Loss and Conditioning Programs
Different goals call for a different emphasis, though every program builds overall physical fitness.
One-on-one strength and resistance training
Strength training and resistance training with heavier, lower-rep work build a stronger body, and we coach each exercise until your technique holds up under load. It also makes carrying the shopping, lifting the kids and getting up off the floor easier.
A nutrition and weight loss program you can stick to
For weight loss, we mix resistance work, cardio and daily exercise habits, and we focus on keeping muscle while you drop fat. Simple nutrition targets sit alongside your sessions, so you’ll notice the change in how your clothes fit and how much energy you have, not just on the scales.
Strength and conditioning for sport
For athletes, we work as your strength and conditioning coach and build the speed, power and performance your sport needs. We also add functional training for everyday movement, so the gains carry over off the field.
Strength training
Free weights, cables and bodyweight, loaded in small steps.
Weight loss
Training plus simple nutrition targets you can keep.
Mobility
Hips, shoulders and upper back that move freely.
HIIT
Short, hard intervals once your base is ready.
Female & NDIS training
Female Personal Training, NDIS-Supported Sessions and Small Groups
Our sessions suit anyone who wants a coach who listens first. We adjust every program to your health, training history and comfort level, and you progress at your own pace.
Female trainers and women’s health
Plenty of women train better with a female personal trainer, and that’s a good reason to choose one. Comfort affects how honest you are about your body, your energy and your health, and that honesty shapes the plan. We train women through strength goals, postnatal recovery, perimenopause and a return to exercise after a long break. Movement also supports mental health, so we pay attention to how you feel, not just what you lift.
NDIS personal trainers in Parkville
We coach National Disability Insurance Scheme participants. Each session is adapted to your ability, with clear instructions and extra time where you need it, and you’re welcome to bring a support worker or carer. Read more about our NDIS personal training.
Group or private?
A group gives you energy, routine and shared accountability, and a good group fitness session is kept small so a coach can still correct your technique. Private sessions suit you better with an injury, a very specific goal or a tight schedule. Many people start private to learn the basics, then add a small group once they’re confident.
Before you book
What to Check When Choosing a Personal Trainer in Parkville
The best trainer is the one with verifiable credentials who listens, so a few quick checks will tell you whether a trainer is qualified, insured and right for you. A trainer’s salary or reputation says little about quality.
Questions worth asking
- Do you hold a current certification, and is your first aid and CPR certificate current?
- Do you hold current insurance?
- Will you explain each program change and why you’ve made it?
- Have you trained clients after birth?
- How do you adjust a session when energy or recovery is low?
- Will you talk through my concerns before planning anything?
Qualifications and exercise physiology
A Certificate III or IV in Fitness should come from a registered training organisation and sit within the Australian Qualifications Framework. Exercise physiologists should be accredited with Exercise & Sports Science Australia. Trainers with a bodybuilding background may hold credentials from the International Fitness and Bodybuilding Federation, and a strength and conditioning coach should show specific athletic training. For a kickboxing-style class, ask about World Kickboxing Association experience.
A trainer builds fitness, strength and habits for generally healthy people. Exercise physiology applies the physiology of how the body responds to movement for people managing a medical condition, such as type 2 diabetes or a circulatory system condition, and it often sits alongside physical therapy during rehabilitation. If a training studio advertises personal trainers and exercise physiologists available on-site, ask exactly who will work with you. Tell us about any injury, medication or doctor’s advice at your first conversation.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a personal trainer cost in Parkville?
With us, sessions are $100 for 45 minutes, with no lock-in contract and no gym membership needed. For a structured start, the 6-Week Lean Body Reset is $1,399 and combines coaching with nutrition targets and check-ins. A fair price reflects the trainer's qualifications, the session format and the session length, so compare what each option includes.
How often should I train with a personal trainer?
Most clients do one or two coached sessions a week and follow their written program on other days. Three to four workouts a week in total suits most weight loss and strength goals.
Is a personal trainer covered by Medicare, and do you coach NDIS participants?
No, Medicare doesn't rebate personal training. We do coach NDIS participants, and support workers or carers are welcome at sessions. Tell us about your needs when you enquire and we'll talk through how to adapt your program.
What happens in my first session, and what should I bring?
Your first session is free and runs for 45 minutes. We chat about your goals and health, check how you move, then take you through a short, manageable workout. Bring water, a towel, comfortable activewear and supportive shoes, plus details of any injury or advice from your doctor. For online clients, the first session is the start of the program, so begin the training tasks and food tracking straight away.
Should I choose mobile, gym-based, online or small-group training?
Mobile training at home suits busy parents, shift workers and beginners who want privacy and no travel. Gym sessions suit people ready for heavier lifting, and online coaching suits anyone who can't get to a session. Small-group training adds company, but you get less individual attention, so it works best once your technique is solid.
Can I book a female personal trainer in Parkville?
Yes. Mention it when you enquire and we'll match you with a female trainer such as Britt or Michaela.
