- SportBetter sporting performance
- Desk workEasing desk-related aches and stiffness
- FitnessImproving general fitness and energy
- ConfidenceBuilding confidence in the gym
Strength Training and Muscle Building
Strength training suits anyone who wants to build muscle or simply move better. Resistance training with free weights and machines drives muscle hypertrophy, which is the growth of muscle fibres, and lifts your strength for daily tasks.
Progressive Overload: How Weights and Reps Climb Week to Week
Progressive overload means adding a little weight or an extra rep when the last session felt manageable. We log every set, so the increase is planned rather than guessed.
Kettlebell Work and One-Repetition Maximum Testing
We use kettlebell swings and carries for power and grip. When it suits you, we test a one-repetition maximum on a key lift to set training loads. We skip the test if it isn't right for you.
Fat Loss and Body Composition Programs
Fat loss and weight loss programs combine resistance training, steady movement and a calorie target you can keep. The aim is to lose fat while holding onto muscle, since muscle keeps your shape and your metabolism healthy.
High-Intensity Interval Training and Where It Fits
High-intensity interval training is short bursts of hard exercise with rest between. We add it once or twice a week if your fitness and joints allow, rather than making it the whole program.
Training for Everyday Life and Performance
Not every goal is about the mirror. Some clients want better sporting performance, and others want a body that copes with long workdays and a busy lifestyle.
Functional Training for Desk-Bound Shoulders, Hips and Backs
Functional training builds movement you use daily. After hours at a desk, we often work on upper-back strength, hip mobility and trunk control, which eases the tight shoulders and sore lower backs that sitting tends to cause.

Getting started
Your First Assessment and Pre-Exercise Screening
Your first visit is an assessment, not a workout. We want to understand your history, your body and your goal before you lift anything.
What Happens Before Your First Workout?
We start with pre-exercise screening, a short questionnaire covering injuries, medications, past surgery and current activity. Then we watch you squat, hinge, push, pull and walk to see where you're strong and where you're stiff.
Pre-Exercise Screening and Your GP: When to Check In First
If screening flags a heart condition, high blood pressure or a recent injury, we ask you to see your GP before training.
Baseline Measures That Guide Your Plan
We record a few starting numbers to measure your plan against: weight, a few body measurements and an estimate of your basal metabolic rate, which sets realistic calorie targets.
Body Composition Analysis and Body Fat Percentage Explained Simply
A body composition analysis splits your weight into fat and everything else, including muscle and water. Your body fat percentage is the fat share of that total. It tells us more than the scales alone, because your weight can hold steady while fat falls and muscle rises.

Your first six weeks
Your First Six Weeks of Personal Training
What Does a New Client's First Month Look Like?
Every new client starts on the same clear six-week structure, so each session builds on a routine you already understand.
Every day.
Once a week.
Work through them all.
Still brings noticeable loss.
Hit your protein and calorie goals by tracking food in an app. Doing about 80% of this still produces noticeable weight loss, so aim for consistency over perfection.
Week One: Getting Started and Staying Consistent
Week one is the hardest. Training is new, the habits are unfamiliar, and a sustainable rhythm takes a few days to form. We use the six weeks to teach the structure, habits and mindset behind them.
Why Six Months Matters More Than Six Weeks
The clients who do best train consistently for six months or more. Sustainable progress comes from carrying the habits well past the start, which also supports your long-term health.
Resistance Training Phases That Progress as You Settle In
Your program changes as you do. Once you're comfortable, we move from an introductory cardio phase into resistance training, then into heavier phases built for lean muscle.
Nutrition
Nutrition and Food Tracking That Lasts
Why Food Tracking Slips First
Training often stays consistent while food tracking quietly drops away. Workouts feel like progress, but nutrition decides whether a goal holds. Skipped logging, plus a few big meals on social days, can send the scale back up after a strong early drop.
Protein, Colour and Fibre: A Simple Approach to Each Meal
Aim for protein, colour and fibre in every meal, because that combination supports your health and keeps you full. If logging feels like too much, start with one meal a day and build from there. Motivation dips are normal. On those days, five minutes of movement keeps the habit alive.
Do Results Stop When the Program Ends?
No, but they can fade if the habits stop. Fitness works like brushing your teeth: the best outcomes come from continuing for six months or more, including through holidays and busy social calendars.
Basal Metabolic Rate and Calorie Targets That Stay Realistic
Your basal metabolic rate is the energy your body burns at rest, and it shapes your daily calories. We set targets from it and revisit them as your body changes, so the loss continues without extreme restriction.
Where we train
Where You Train: Studio, Gym and Health Club Options
Private Studio or Gym Sessions Near Me
Most people searching for a trainer near me want a space that feels easy to walk into. We run private one-to-one sessions in a studio-style setting or on a gym floor, so you get our full attention without an audience.
Gyms in Richmond: Choosing a Space That Suits Your Workout
Quiet gyms suit beginners, and fully equipped floors suit heavier lifting. Tell us how you like to train and we'll match the workout to the space.
Mobile and Small-Group Training
Mobile and outdoor sessions are an option if travelling to a gym is a hurdle. Training with a partner or small group of friends is also possible, and many people enjoy the community feel that comes with it.
Health Club Members: Using Your Existing Membership With a Coach
If you already belong to a health club, we can coach you there. Your club membership covers the equipment, and we bring the structure and technique.
Outdoor sessions
Training in Richmond's Parks: What the City of Yarra Permit Means for Outdoor Sessions
Does Outdoor Personal Training Need a Permit?
Yes. Under the City of Yarra personal trainers policy, a personal training group or business must follow set procedures to get a permit to operate in parks and gardens within Yarra. Any park option for personal training in Richmond starts with that permit.
What This Means for Your Outdoor Session
If you want to train outdoors, ask us first. We will plan a park session only where the permit requirements are met. You can read the City of Yarra personal trainers policy yourself.

Exercise & Sports Science Australia Guidance on Safe Progression
Exercise & Sports Science Australia is a professional body for exercise professionals, and its guidance is a sensible reference on how trainers progress load. We increase weights, reps or intensity gradually, only when your technique holds up.
Progress
How We Track Progress and Adjust Your Plan
Every plan we write is checked against numbers, so changes come from evidence rather than guesswork.
Numbers That Show Real Progress
We log your sessions, weigh you weekly and re-check your body composition at set points. Together these show whether your progress and performance are heading towards your goal.
One-Repetition Maximum, Body Fat Percentage and Weekly Weigh-Ins
A one-repetition maximum shows how strong you are getting, while a repeated body fat percentage reading shows what the scale can miss. Weekly weigh-ins fill in the trend between checks.
Qualifications Worth Asking Any Trainer About
Ask any trainer what they hold and how they keep it current.
International Sports Sciences Association and Australian Institute of Personal Trainers Courses
Courses from the International Sports Sciences Association and the Australian Institute of Personal Trainers are two you will often see, and a good trainer will happily explain what theirs covered.

FAQ
What Questions Do Clients Ask About Cost?
How much should you pay for a personal trainer?
The Australian Fitness Network rate is $100 per 45-minute session, and a sensible budget depends on how many sessions you want each week. For example, $300 covers three sessions at $100. Most people start with one or two sessions and add more as their routine settles.
What is the usual fee for a personal trainer in Richmond?
Here, 1-on-1 sessions are $100 per 45 minutes, though fees vary by trainer and format. That covers a full session with your trainer, built around your goals rather than a generic group routine.
Is $400 a month a lot for a personal trainer in Richmond?
Not necessarily, because $400 covers four sessions at $100 per 45 minutes. Whether that suits you depends on your goals and how often you need coaching. Some people prefer weekly sessions, while others want more support early on.
Does outdoor personal training in Richmond need a permit?
Yes. Under the City of Yarra personal trainers policy, a personal training group or business must follow set procedures to get a permit to operate in parks and gardens within Yarra. We plan a park session only where the permit requirements are met.
