Our fitness coaching suits people who want a clear direction and someone to keep them accountable, whether you're starting from scratch or returning after a long break.
What You Get With a Watsonia Personal Trainer

- Regular check-ins to adjust the plan as you progress
- A quiet private studio with the equipment you need

Ways to train
Personal Training Options in Watsonia
Every program is one-to-one, built around your goal and adjusted as you progress.
Meet your trainers
Which Personal Training Program Suits Strength, Weight Loss or Conditioning?
Pick the program closest to your main goal, whether that is strength, weight loss or conditioning, and we'll shape the details around you. Most clients fit one of these three, though we often blend them.
Armstrong
Body transformation
Former short-track speed skater and Australian Ninja Warrior competitor. Now he gets busy professionals into the best shape of their lives.
Britt

Gary
Most requested
Patient, calm and never judges where you’re starting from. Gary is the trainer to book if you’ve tried before and quit.
Michaela
PT, yoga & Pilates
Personal trainer, yoga teacher and Pilates instructor in one. Expect strength work that leaves you moving better, not stiffer.
Sam
Physio qualified
A physiotherapy qualification means sore backs and dodgy knees get trained around properly. He’s also the funniest person on the team.

Races triathlons and speaks five languages. Focused, organised and fully on you for 45 minutes. Book in and he handles the rest.
Strength Training That Builds Muscle Safely
Strength training uses resistance training to build muscle, support your joints and lift your everyday capacity. We start light, teach clean movement and add load only when your technique holds up.
Squat, Deadlift and Progressive Overload in Practice
- Goblet and barbell squat variations
- Trap-bar or Romanian deadlift
- Rows, presses and split squats
- Carries and core bracing drills
We apply progressive overload by nudging up weight, reps or control from week to week, so the body keeps adapting without being rushed.
How We Teach Movement Before Adding Weight
Early sessions focus on positions and breathing. Once you can repeat a movement well with a light load, we make it heavier in small steps.
Weight Loss With Practical Nutrition Guidance
Sustainable weight loss comes from a steady mix of exercise and everyday eating habits. Your program usually includes:
- Two or three strength workouts to protect lean muscle
- Brisk walking, cycling or other aerobic exercise for energy use
- Simple nutrition guidance on portions, protein and meal rhythm
- Weekly check-ins on sleep, stress and habits
We keep the advice realistic, because a plan you can follow beats a strict one you drop after a fortnight.
Small Habit Changes That Add Up
We usually ask you to change one thing at a time, such as adding a protein serve at breakfast or walking after dinner. Each change is easy to keep, and together they make a real difference.
Boxing, Kettlebell and Interval Conditioning Workouts
If you want to feel fitter, sharper and more energetic, conditioning is the focus. A typical workout might include:
- Pad work and boxing combinations
- High-intensity interval training rounds with set work and rest periods
- Sled pushes, battle ropes and bodyweight circuits
These sessions raise your heart rate and build overall physical fitness without needing a lot of kit.
Kettlebell Training for Functional Strength
Kettlebell training is a favourite for functional training, because swings, carries and get-ups mirror real movement like lifting groceries or picking up kids. It builds strength, balance and grip together using minimal equipment.
Choosing Between the Three Programs
If you are unsure, tell us what you want to feel or do better in daily life. We'll recommend a starting mix and adjust it as you progress.
Getting started
What Happens in a Session and How Your Plan Comes Together
Every client starts with a conversation, not a workout. We want to know what you're aiming for, what your week looks like and what your body has been through, and then we build from there.
After your first session, each session builds on the last. We adjust loads, swap exercises and review progress every few weeks, so the plan keeps pace with you.
Your First 45 Minutes
Your first session covers the basics in order:
- 1TalkWe talk through your goal and any history that affects training.
- 2MoveWe check how you move: squat, hinge, push, pull and balance.
- 3TryYou try a light block of exercises so we can see your starting loads.
- 4PlanWe agree on a written plan for the next few weeks.
Can You Train With an Injury?
Yes, in most cases, as long as the program is written around it and your GP or physio is happy for you to train. An old shoulder or a sore knee usually changes which exercises we choose, not whether you train at all.
Safe exercise prescription depends on understanding how the human musculoskeletal system copes with load. Programs for rehabilitation and for returning to a sport are built on that same knowledge, and Department of Veterans' Affairs exercise programs rely on it too. We'll ask you to tell us about any injury before we load anything.
Your trainer
Female and Male PTs: Women's Health and Woman-Focused Training
Some clients are happiest with a female trainer, others have no preference, and both are fine. What matters is that you feel comfortable enough to speak up about how your body is feeling.
Women's health topics such as pregnancy, postnatal recovery and menopause call for careful coaching, and we ask you to share your GP's advice before we plan around them. Whoever you train with, check that your trainer holds Exercise & Sports Science Australia accreditation. It's a quick way to confirm they're qualified.
Do You Need a Female Trainer?
No, you don't need a female trainer, but your comfort comes first. If you'd rather work with a woman, tell us when you enquire and we'll arrange it where we can.
Where we train
Mobile Personal Training and Outdoor Sessions
Where Do Sessions Run?
Most sessions happen in our private studio in Watsonia North, where the equipment is set up and the room is quiet.
When the weather suits, we also train outdoors on local paths and open space, which works well for conditioning and walking-based sessions. Our mobile personal training option brings the session to you if travelling is a barrier.
- Private studio in Watsonia North for strength work
- Outdoor sessions on nearby paths and parks
- Mobile personal sessions at your home, or in a small group you arrange, such as a couple or friends training together
Getting to the Studio by Train or Car
If you travel by train, Watsonia railway station sits on the Hurstbridge line, so the studio is easy to reach from Greensborough, Eltham and further along the line.
Driving from the south or north, Greensborough Highway is the main road in, and we can tell you where to leave the car when you book.

Your week
How Many Sessions a Week Do You Need?
One or two sessions a week is the usual starting point. One suits you if you're building a habit or have a tight schedule, while two lifts the pace towards a bigger goal such as fat loss or strength. We map this into a simple weekly plan so the sessions and your own workouts support each other.
- One session a week: steady progress and accountability
- Two sessions a week: faster progress on a clear goal
- Three or four: intensive blocks, for example before an event
Who Gets the Best Value From Online Coaching?
People who want structure and accountability but need a lower weekly cost usually get the best value from online coaching. It pairs a written plan with regular reviews of your progress, so you keep moving at a steady pace between in-person sessions. We also offer week-to-week options for members who stay on, so ask us which format suits you.

Group Fitness Classes or One-on-One Training?
A group fitness class suits people who like company and a set timetable, while private training suits people who want every minute built around their own body and goals. Both work, so the better choice depends on how you like to train.
Is Group Fitness Better Than Private Training?
No, neither is better overall. A class costs less per visit with most gym memberships, but private sessions give you far more individual attention.
Group Classes
Pros
- Social energy
- A fixed schedule that gets you out the door
- Variety
Cons
- Little technique correction
- A pace set for the room
- Limited room for injuries or past surgery
Private Training

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the usual fee for a personal trainer?
With Australian Fitness Network, a 45-minute session is $100, though fees elsewhere vary by trainer and session format. Length matters more than anything else when comparing, so check how many minutes each price covers before deciding.
Is $300 a month a lot for a personal trainer?
Not necessarily, because at $100 per 45-minute session, $300 covers three sessions. Whether that suits you depends on your goals and how often you want to train, so match the budget to the frequency you need.
How much should you expect to pay a personal trainer?
Expect to pay $100 for each 45-minute session, so multiply that by the number of sessions you want each week to work out your budget.
Can you train with an injury?
Yes, in most cases, as long as the program is written around it and your GP or physio is happy for you to train. An old shoulder or a sore knee usually changes which exercises we choose, not whether you train at all.
Do you need a female trainer?
No, you don't need a female trainer, but your comfort comes first. If you'd rather work with a woman, tell us when you enquire and we'll arrange it where we can.
