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.

Armstrong took time to understand my fitness goals and asked insightful questions. His ability to shift my mindset from just weight loss to overall health and strength made all the difference. The personalised approach helped me achieve sustainable long-term results.

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 Prahran client before and after weight lossBeforeAfter

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.

Who we help

Helping Prahran Locals 40-70 Feel Stronger and Move Better

We focus on helping Prahran locals 40-70 feel stronger and move better. Our typical client is an adult who wants steady strength and better health over the long term, not a quick fix.

  • Beginners who feel unsure about a gym
  • Returning exercisers rebuilding after a break
  • Adults wanting weight loss with a plan they can keep
  • People curious about novice powerlifting

In our experience, people over 40 often improve fastest when the first weeks stay simple and consistent, because confidence and performance build together.

Goals We Coach Towards

Common goals include weight loss, body recomposition, novice powerlifting and general weights training for strength and fitness. We set one main goal with you and build the plan around it.

How sessions work

What Happens in a Private Training Session?

Every private training session follows the same shape, so you always know what comes next and why.

  1. 1

    Warm-up

    A short warm-up that raises your heart rate and loosens the joints you’re about to load.

  2. 2

    Main Lifts

    Each exercise is guided and adjusted rep by rep.

  3. 3

    Lighter Work and Recovery

    We finish with lighter work and recovery notes, so you leave knowing how to look after yourself until we meet again.

Kettlebell Training and Free-Weight Work

Most sessions include kettlebell training alongside dumbbells and barbells. This equipment lets us scale a movement up or down as your progress allows.

Where Sessions Run and What Equipment Is Used

Appointments run at our private facility just off Chapel Street in Windsor, close to South Yarra and the Yarra end of town. You get racks, free weights, kettlebells and benches without sharing them with a crowd.

How to Book Your First Session

Send us an enquiry and we’ll agree on a time, then build a plan around your week. Regular bookings give you built-in accountability, so book your first session today.

Assessment

Assessment First: Health, Injury History and Movement

What Gets Checked Before You Lift

Your first assessment covers your health history, past injuries and how you move. It tells us where to start and what to avoid, so the plan is tailored to your body rather than copied from a template. Sound exercise physiology guides how we scale load, and we also note your current physical fitness.

Pre-Exercise Screening and Your GP

We use pre-exercise screening to flag conditions that affect training. If anything raises a concern, we’ll ask you to see your GP before heavy exercise begins.

Functional Movement Screening for Joints and Posture

Functional movement screening shows how your hips, shoulders and spine cope with simple patterns. An old knee or back injury often shows up here, and we adjust exercises to suit.

Tracking Change With a Body Composition Assessment

A body composition assessment gives a baseline for your body, so we can measure progress beyond the scales.

Built around you

Strength Training, Weight Loss and Body Recomposition Programs

Every program we write covers weights training, strength training, weight loss, body recomposition and novice powerlifting, and we pick the mix with you.

Talk through your goals
01

Tailored Programs by Goal

Fat loss, building strength and improving shape each call for a different split of sessions, so your tailored plan starts from your goal and your week. Your performance markers in the main lifts guide what we change next.

02

Progressive Overload Explained for Beginners

Progressive overload means asking a little more of your body over time, through slightly heavier weights, an extra rep or better technique. It keeps progress steady over the long term without rushing.

03

Resistance Training and Aerobic Exercise Together

We pair resistance training with aerobic exercise because the combination builds muscle, supports fat loss and lifts your overall physical fitness.

04

One-on-One or Small Group?

Our one-on-one personal training is private and gives you our full attention and coaching. If you’d rather train with a friend or partner, ask us about a small group session.

Between sessions

Tracking, Nutrition and Accountability Between Sessions

01

Daily movement

Aim for about 10,000 steps a day, and sync a tracker such as Fitbit or send us your numbers. Apple Health alone often doesn’t show us enough.

02

Food habits

Restart food logging as soon as it slips. It’s usually the first habit to go when work gets busy, and it keeps your nutrition honest.

03

Make time

Book your workouts into your calendar before the week begins so the plan holds.

Why a Good Training Week Is Not Enough

A strong week of training won’t deliver progress by itself. What you do between sessions, and the accountability around it, matters just as much for your recovery and exercise results.

Prahran and surrounds

Training Near Prahran: Chapel Street, Windsor and Beyond

Our appointment-only personal training on Chapel St, South Yarra and the Prahran side suits people who fit sessions around work, a coffee run at Prahran Market or a stroll past Prahran Square. Clients choose Australian Fitness Network over crowded gyms because every session is booked, private and starts on time.

Because every session is one-on-one, we plan around your timetable rather than asking you to fit a fixed class schedule. Early starts before work and lunchtime slots both suit people who live or work along the Chapel Street strip.

Along the Chapel Street Corridor

  • Along Chapel Street, from Chatham Street to Commercial Road and Greville Street: Windsor, South Yarra and Prahran locals.
  • Office workers who want a 45-minute session near their desk.
  • Residents who prefer a short walk to a long commute.

Mobile Personal Training in Nearby and Outer Suburbs

Our trainers also come to you close by in Armadale, Toorak, Malvern and Richmond, and further out in St Kilda, Cremorne and Brunswick. That suits anyone who wants a consistent weekly slot. If you’re unsure whether your suburb works, tell us where you live and work and we’ll suggest a practical routine.

Outdoor training

Outdoor Training and Stonnington Permits

Do You Need a Permit to Train Outdoors in Stonnington?

Yes, a trainer needs a permit to run outdoor sessions in Council parks and reserves. The City of Stonnington Personal Training Permit page says permits cover outdoor personal training in those spaces, such as around Prahran Square. It also says training in a home or commercial property may need a planning permit instead. We carry professional indemnity insurance as part of our credentials.

As your personal trainer in Prahran, Melbourne, we can help you work out which approval applies to the place you want to train.

What This Means for Your Sessions

You don’t need to arrange anything yourself. We confirm the location with you when you book, and we only train where the rules allow it.

  • Outdoor sessions suit walking intervals, bodyweight strength and mobility work.
  • Wet or very hot days can be moved to another time that suits you.

Is Personal Training Right for You if You’ve Never Set Foot in a Gym?
