Qualified coaching and Exercise & Sports Science Australia standards
Our coaching follows the standards set by Exercise & Sports Science Australia, so your program is grounded in accepted practice.
Group classes and personal training for women
If you enjoy company, a small group can work well. Many women start one-on-one, then add a class as confidence builds, which beats big gym classes.
Programs
Strength, Cardio and Sport Programs
Every program we write blends the training styles below. Whether you want weights training, strength training, weight loss, body recomposition or novice powerlifting, we pick the mix that suits your goal and schedule.
Strength training and body recomposition
- Resistance training for building muscle while losing fat
- Progressive loading so each workout is slightly harder than the last
- Full-body or split routines, depending on your week
- Regular check-ins on strength, measurements and how your clothes fit
Cardio and athletic conditioning
- Aerobic exercise to build your engine, from steady runs to intervals
- Sport-specific conditioning for footy, tennis, running and rowing
- Higher energy expenditure sessions, with the intensity of a fitness boot camp but individual coaching
- Mobility and warm-up work so you move well before the hard efforts start
Squat and deadlift technique for novice powerlifting
We teach the squat and deadlift from bodyweight up, so you lift heavier with confidence and clean form.
Working around injury and building recovery
An old knee or a sore shoulder doesn’t have to stop you. We adjust exercise selection and load, then add functional training that rebuilds movement patterns. Recovery days are planned, and we suggest checking with your GP or physio first if pain is ongoing.
Nutrition
Nutrition Support Alongside Your Workouts
Training only goes so far without food that backs it up.
We give practical nutrition guidance, from meal structure to food logging, so weight loss or muscle gain follows each workout.

Are you wondering whether personal training suits you? Our clients include:
- Beginners who want a safe, guided start in the gym
- Busy professionals who need efficient sessions around work
- Recreational athletes who want to improve for their sport

Price vs value
Memberships versus paying per session
Many personal training memberships bundle a set number of sessions into a monthly fee. When you compare one, divide the fee by the sessions actually included and check how long each session runs. A membership suits you if you’ll train at the same rhythm every week. Paying per session is easier if your work or travel changes often.
Cheap or free options compared with the best value
Cheap small-group classes and free online workouts are fine for building a habit. They can’t watch your squat or change a lift when your knee complains. The best value is the option you’ll keep doing and that gets you to your goal.
Outdoor sessions
Training outdoors in South Yarra’s parks: what a City of Melbourne permit means for you
The City of Melbourne requires anyone running paid personal training on public land in the municipality to hold a council permit. Permits run from 1 July to 30 June.
Trainers in the same business can share one permit, provided their registration and qualifications are supplied and the permit holder’s insurance covers every trainer. A trainer working at sites managed by different councils, such as the City of Stonnington, needs a separate permit from each. Confirm whether a park like Fawkner Park or Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria is covered, and check current details with the council.
Ask your trainer
- Do you hold a permit for this session?
- Does it cover the trainer taking my session?
- Does insurance apply to me?

Where We Train Around South Yarra
Most clients reach us from within a few kilometres, and we plan sessions around where you live and work.
Suburbs we coach clients from
Many come from the Chapel Street and Toorak Road corridors, including Toorak, Prahran and Armadale. Others travel in from Richmond, Cremorne and Windsor.
Park and river routes for cardio days
For cardio, we use the Main Yarra Trail beside the Yarra River, which suits steady runs and easy recovery walks. Como Park is handy for hill efforts, and the paths around Alexandra Gardens and the Shrine of Remembrance give you flat, traffic-light loops through Kings Domain and the Domain Parklands.
Getting here from the city and St Kilda
If you’re coming from St Kilda, St Kilda Road is the straightest run. From Southbank and the Melbourne CBD, most clients take the tram or ride out along Punt Road.

Your program
How Your Program Works and How to Book
Your first session and goal setting
We start with a conversation about your goal, your training history and any niggles. In that first session we test your movement, then set a plan you can follow from week to week.
Breaking a plateau and keeping the same trainer
Plateaus are normal. When weight holds steady for a few weeks, we go back to basics: food logging and regular check-ins. We also protect continuity with your coach, because a change of trainer unsettles people, and we sort out any handover fast.
Staying on track through holidays and busy weeks
Consistency matters more than perfection. Clients who complete close to seven workouts and seven nutrition days a week, even through holidays and a full social calendar, tend to see the strongest results over our 42-day reset and the Sustain 100 program that follows. We build coaching around your lifestyle so a busy fortnight bends the plan rather than breaks it.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a personal trainer cost in Melbourne?
Rates vary by trainer, experience and session format, so it pays to compare what each price includes. At Australian Fitness Network it’s $100 per 45min session, covering coaching time with a trainer who plans and runs the session around your goals.
Is $400 a month a lot for a personal trainer?
It depends on how often you train and what you want from it. Judge any monthly figure against the number of sessions it includes and your schedule. Value comes down to your goals and consistency.
Do you offer women’s health and postnatal training?
Yes. Every woman we work with gets personalised programming, including women’s health considerations such as pregnancy and postnatal recovery, in a calm, judgement-free setting.
Can you train around an injury?
Yes. An old knee or a sore shoulder doesn’t have to stop you. We adjust exercise selection and load, then add functional training that rebuilds movement patterns. If pain is ongoing, we suggest checking with your GP or physio first.
Is a membership better than paying per session?
A membership suits you if you’ll train at the same rhythm every week, and paying per session is easier if your work or travel changes often. Divide any monthly fee by the sessions actually included before you compare.
