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 and nutritionist client before and after weight lossBeforeAfter

“I start well, then life gets busy and I stop.”

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.

One coach for training and food

Personal Trainer and Nutritionist in Melbourne: What You Get

If you're looking for a personal trainer and nutritionist in Melbourne, VIC, Australian Fitness Network gives you one coach who builds your training and your eating around the same goal.

Our approach suits anyone who wants personalised training & nutrition from a single person, whether you train at the gym, at home or online. You get an experienced personal trainer and nutritionist, not two providers working from separate notes. Start with a conversation about what you want from your body and health.

Who This Service Suits

We work with the complete beginner who has never held a dumbbell and with the experienced client who has stalled. Typical goals include weight loss, building strength, returning after a break or fitting regular training around a busy lifestyle.

What a Program Includes

Every client gets a tailored training program and a matching nutrition plan. Each session runs 45 minutes, and we adjust both as your results come in. These services start with a short enquiry: book a consultation and we'll take it from there.

  • $100Per 45-minute session. Private, one-on-one with your coach.
  • One coach, one plan. Training and nutrition written together.
  • Studio, mobile or online. Train where it suits your week.
  • Free consultation. Agree on your goal before you commit.

Why one coach

Why Training and Nutrition Work Better Under One Coach

Coaching works best when training and eating pull in the same direction. Personalised training and nutrition plans built around one goal give sustainable results, and it's why a real transformation tends to last.

One Plan Instead of Two Disconnected Ones

When two providers work separately, the program and meal plan can contradict each other. We write them together, so the tailored plan matches your energy needs on training and rest days.

Spotting When Training Is Strong but Nutrition Has Slipped

Seeing everything together tells us whether to change the training or tighten the food side.

Food Logging, Workouts and Check-Ins in One Place

Because we see your food log, workouts and check-ins side by side, tracking gaps show up early. If sessions are strong but logging has dropped off, we adjust nutrition rather than add more exercise.

Can One Person Really Cover Both?

Yes, for most goals, because a personal trainer who also coaches nutrition can handle everyday food planning and training together. Where you need dietitian-level input, we say so and work alongside your GP or other health professionals.

Meet your coaches

Private 1-on-1 Personal Training in the Studio or Gym

Our private 1-on-1 personal training happens in a quiet studio or gym, with your coach focused on you for the whole session. Every workout is built around your goal, your current fitness and how your body responds.

What Happens in a 45-Minute Session

We start with a short warm-up and a check on how you're feeling. The main block is your exercise work, then a finish that matches your goal, whether that's strength or general performance.

Progressive Overload and Resistance Training Explained Simply

Resistance training means working muscles against weight or tension. Progressive overload is raising that demand in small steps, such as a few more repetitions or a slightly heavier load, so you keep getting stronger.

Building Strength and Muscle Safely

We teach technique first, then build muscle with loads you can control. Good strength training also helps you train around an old injury without aggravating it.

Cardio and Conditioning Options

If you want to be fit for sport or just feel better on the stairs, we add aerobic exercise or short blocks of high-intensity interval training. We choose what suits your recovery, so performance improves without wearing you down.

We come to you

Mobile Personal Training and Dietitian Services Across Melbourne

Nutrition

Personalised Nutrition Plans Built With a Qualified Dietitian

Your personalised nutrition plan is tailored to your goals, schedule and the foods you actually eat, with no generic templates. Our team are experts in strength training, weight loss and nutrition.

Logging One Full Day of Food First

Before we write your meal plan, you log one full day of eating in the nutrition logger, so the plan starts from your habits, not guesses.

Macronutrients, Energy Needs and Food Choices

Basal Metabolic Rate and Macronutrients Behind Your Targets

When we estimate your basal metabolic rate, we set your macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate and fat) around it, with a modest calorie deficit and enough protein to protect muscle for weight loss. We also use the glycaemic index to guide carbohydrate choices when steady energy matters.

Measuring Body Composition

Body Composition Analysis and DEXA Scan Data in Context

If you have body composition analysis or DEXA scan results, we use them to track fat and muscle over time. They're optional, and never needed to start.

Standards and Professional Bodies

At Australian Fitness Network we follow guidance from Dietitians Australia, Sports Dietitians Australia and Exercise & Sports Science Australia, and refer you to your GP or an accredited practising dietitian for anything beyond our scope.

Online

Online Coaching and Tracking for Interstate and Busy Clients

Our online coaching suits interstate clients and anyone whose week is too full for regular travel. You get the same approach as in-person clients, just delivered to your phone.

A Nutrition Plan and Training Program, Ready to Start

You receive a custom nutrition plan paired with a training program, both ready to start on day one, so your eating and exercise support each other and fit your lifestyle.

At-Home Workouts and Check-Ins

Not near a gym? We include an at-home workout option using minimal equipment. Regular check-ins and food and workout tracking let us review your progress and adjust the plan. Ready to begin? Book a consultation and we'll set up your online coaching.

Goals and conditions

Programs for Weight Loss, Strength, Injury and Health Conditions

Programs start from your goal and health history, planned alongside your GP or allied health professional, never replacing their advice.

What Does a Personal Trainer and Nutritionist Program Cover?

It combines coaching and food guidance in one plan, delivered by our expert personal trainers and nutritionists. Focus areas include:

  • Personal trainer and nutritionist support for fat loss
  • Strength and muscle programs
  • A personal trainer nutritionist approach to injury recovery
  • Nutritionist and personal trainer guidance for blood sugar
  • Gentle plans for fatigue conditions and NDIS participants

Weight Loss That Lasts

A sustainable weight loss plan pairs a realistic calorie target with training you can keep doing, built for holidays and busy weeks. A beginner starts with the basics.

Strength, Muscle and Performance Goals

Progressive strength work builds muscle and supports performance, whatever your target.

Osteoporosis and Sarcopenia: Why Strength Work Matters

Loaded training helps maintain bone density with osteoporosis and slows muscle loss with sarcopenia.

Training Around Injury and Pain

Good injury recovery means training what you can while protecting what you can't.

Low Back Pain and Chronic Pain: Adjusting Load and Movement

With low back pain or chronic pain, we modify range, load and exercise choice.

Cardiac Rehabilitation and Acquired Brain Injury Clients

We support clients after cardiac rehabilitation or with an acquired brain injury, within clearance from their treating team.

Managing Blood Sugar and Metabolic Health

Training and food can improve markers linked to metabolic syndrome, with your medical team across the plan.

Type 2 Diabetes and Blood Sugar Level Management

With type 2 diabetes, meal timing and carbohydrate choices influence your blood sugar level, so nutrition and exercise are planned together.

Fatigue Conditions and NDIS Participants

Clients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome need very gentle pacing. We also train National Disability Insurance Scheme participants.

Getting started

How It Starts: Consultation to Your First Session

The start is the same for beginners and experienced clients: book through our enquiry form.

What Should You Have Ready Before You Book?

Have these four things ready before your consultation:

  • Your main goal and target date
  • Any injuries, conditions or medications we should know about
  • Your usual weekly schedule, so a personal trainer and nutritionist plan works around your life
  • One typical day of eating, for your food log

Your First Three Steps

From enquiry to your first 45 minutes of training.

  1. 1
    Step 1: Questionnaire and ConsultationYou complete a short questionnaire on your history, injuries and schedule. In the consultation we agree on your goal.
  2. 2
    Step 2: Food Log and Meal PlanYou log one full day of food, and we write a nutrition plan around it.
  3. 3
    Step 3: Your First SessionYour first personal training session is 45 minutes of movement assessment and foundational training to set your starting loads.

Pricing

What Does a Personal Trainer and Nutritionist Cost? $100 per 45 Minutes

Australian Fitness Network keeps pricing simple: one rate per private session.

Private session

$100 / 45 min

What a $100 Session Includes

  • A workout built around your goal and health history
  • A nutritionist and personal trainer check-in on how your eating is going

$300Three sessions

$400Four sessions

Staying on track

Keeping Progress Going: Plateaus and Trainer Handovers

Steady progress is realistic, even when life gets busy. A sustainable approach expects interruptions and plans for them.

Staying on Track Through Holidays and Busy Weeks

Holidays and packed social calendars don't have to undo results. A flexible lifestyle routine, with regular tracking of workouts, meals and recovery days, keeps you accountable and makes the next step obvious.

What to Do When Your Weight Stops Moving

A plateau is common, and a stalled weight needs a plan rather than panic. We review your logs, adjust food and training, and reset the next few weeks of progress toward your goal.

Why a Smooth Trainer Handover Matters

Momentum can drop when a coach changes and check-ins lapse. We brief the incoming trainer on every client's history, so logging and sessions carry on, and a lasting transformation stays on course.

Is it for you?

Who Is a Personal Trainer and Nutritionist Best For?

Combined coaching suits anyone who wants training and food working toward the same result rather than pulling in different directions.

  • People who have tried exercise alone and want a personal trainer nutritionist plan that also covers eating
  • Beginners who want clear steps instead of guessing
  • Clients returning to training after injury, with their treating team's clearance
  • Busy people who prefer one coach for both training and meals

Ready when you are

Ready to Start With a Personal Trainer and Nutritionist?
