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.

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.

Meet your trainers

Training Clients in 1:1, 2:1 and Very Small Group Sessions

1:1 Sessions for Focused Coaching

A 1:1 session gives you the most detailed coaching. Your coach watches every rep, corrects technique as it happens and changes the plan on the spot if you're tired or sore.

2:1 and Small Group Training With a Partner or Friends

If you'd rather train with a partner or friends, 2:1 and small group training sessions add accountability and a bit of friendly competition. We scale each person's loads and exercises so no one is left behind.

Choosing Your Format

  • 1:1: all of our attention on you, with every exercise and rest period set to your needs.
  • 2:1: two people sharing a session, with each program adjusted to the individual.
  • Very small group: a handful of people, with shared energy and coaching that still stays personal.

Getting started

What Happens in Your First Personalised Program

Every personalised program starts from where you are now. Before your first workout we run pre-exercise screening and a short functional movement screening, so we can see how you move and what to protect.

  1. 1

    What If I'm Returning After a Break or Past Injury?

    Tell us about any injury or health concern up front. A heart condition might make you wary of cardio, and a shoulder niggle might need a follow-up with your GP or physio. We keep early sessions conservative, then build once your body shows it's coping.

  2. 2

    Adjusting the Next Session When You're Sore

    Soreness is part of starting out, but it shouldn't flatten you. If you arrive very sore, we change the next session, for instance with more cardio and lighter weights, so your body recovers and you keep training.

  3. 3

    Building Around Your Food Preferences

    Good nutrition only works if you'll eat it, so we shape the plan around what you actually enjoy. A body composition analysis gives us a baseline to measure progress against.

Your first fortnight usually runs like this:

  • TalkWe talk through your goals, history and schedule.
  • ScreenWe complete your screening and baseline measures.
  • TeachWe teach technique on a few key movements at a gentle load.
  • ReviewWe review soreness and adjust the next session.
  • Fine-tuneWe fine-tune your tailored, individualised plan for the weeks ahead.

Programs

Strength, Conditioning and Sport Performance Coaching

Whether you want to carry shopping more easily or sharpen your game, we match the exercise to your aim. Most clients mix a few methods, and our coaching sits somewhere between everyday strength and competitive performance.

Strength and Resistance Training With Progressive Overload

Strength training is the base for almost everyone. Through resistance training we apply progressive overload, nudging the load or repetitions up as you adapt. Kettlebell training adds hip power and grip work, and the same principles apply in a gym or at home.

Conditioning With Interval and Aerobic Work

Steady aerobic exercise builds your engine and helps recovery, while high-intensity interval training lifts physical fitness in short, hard blocks. We choose the mix by how you recover, not by what looks tough.

Coaching the Weekend Athlete and Sport Performance

If you play a sport on weekends, we build sessions around its demands: sprinting, changing direction and landing safely. For a serious athlete, we plan around the season and refine technique to support performance. As your coach, we adjust each block as the calendar changes.

What We Use

  • Barbell, dumbbell and kettlebell strength work
  • Bodyweight and band training for home or park
  • Interval circuits for short, sharp conditioning
  • Steady aerobic sessions for endurance
  • Speed, agility and landing drills for sport

Nutrition

Losing Weight and Eating Well Without Guesswork

Most people who want to lose body fat need a steady calorie deficit, enough protein and a routine they can repeat for months.

We set a daily calorie and protein target early, then adjust it from your results rather than guessing. Consistency in the first few weeks usually decides how the rest goes.

Working Towards a Deadline

A firm date, such as a fitness assessment, can justify a faster and more structured plan. If that's your goal, we tighten the calorie and protein targets and lock in your session days so you can lose weight efficiently without cutting corners on your health. Without a deadline, we recommend a slower pace that's easier to sustain.

Protein Targets and Food Preferences

Vegetarians can still reach their protein target, and some choose to add a little fish or chicken to make it easier. We use basic sports science principles rather than rigid meal plans.

Qualified coaching

What Degree-Qualified Trainers Should Be Able to Show

Ask any trainer to show you their credentials before you book. Degree-qualified trainers with 5 years of experience are easier to trust when the paperwork backs the claim. We'd rather you check than take our word for it.

Qualifications and Professional Membership

Look for tertiary study in exercise or sports science, plus membership of Exercise & Sports Science Australia or a comparable professional body. Australian Fitness Network clients also get access to a panel of highly qualified and experienced coaches, so you're matched to the right coach for your goals and injury history.

Insurance and Safety Checks

A trainer should be able to produce these on request:

  • A relevant degree in exercise or sports science
  • Current professional membership
  • Valid professional indemnity insurance
  • Current public liability insurance
  • A Working With Children Check, where relevant
  • First aid and CPR certification

Funding

What to Check When Choosing a Personal Trainer in Toorak

If you have a medical condition or a DVA entitlement, check qualifications before comparing prices.

The Department of Veterans' Affairs requires exercise physiology to come from an exercise physiologist accredited by Exercise & Sports Science Australia and registered with Services Australia. Accredited exercise physiologists hold at least an AQF Level 7 degree.

Funded Exercise Physiology Versus Personal Training

A general personal trainer doesn't qualify for DVA funding. Ask any provider for their ESSA accreditation, and confirm current arrangements with DVA directly. For everyday health and fitness goals, read reviews for detail on how a trainer coaches.

Pricing

Personal Trainer Prices and Cost in Toorak

Comparing Quotes From Other Trainers

When you compare the cost of a personal trainer in Toorak, check the session length first, since a 30-minute session and a 45-minute one aren't like for like. Then ask what's covered: program planning, adjustments between sessions and qualifications all affect the value you receive. A lower hourly rate can end up costing more if the program isn't built around you.

Where we train

Where We Train: Toorak Park, Fawkner Park, Your Home or a Studio

We run sessions at Toorak Park and Fawkner Park, both an easy walk or short drive from Toorak Road, and we also come to your home. Prefer indoors? We use a private studio room, and we can train at your building's gym or club.

  • Toorak Park, for open grass, sprints and bodyweight work
  • Fawkner Park, for longer runs and circuit-style fitness
  • Your home, with equipment we bring to you
  • A private studio room for weights and quiet focus
  • Your residential gym or club, if you already have access

Is a Park, Home Gym or Studio Right for You?

Parks suit people who like fresh air and don't mind the weather. A home gym or spare room saves travel and works well for busy schedules. A studio gives you heavier equipment and privacy, which suits strength-focused clients. If you're comparing the best fitness studios near you in Toorak, or local gyms, ask what equipment is included and how crowded sessions get.

Can I Train With a Female Trainer?

Yes. If you'd rather work with a female coach, tell us when you enquire and we'll match you with a trainer you're comfortable with. Female personal trainers in Melbourne
