I’ve been training with Australian Fitness Network for 10 weeks and couldn’t be happier! Started at 84kg and now I’m down to 76kg. My fitness has improved dramatically and I feel so much stronger overall.

As someone who never exercised before, I was nervous. But Kevin has been incredibly patient and understanding. I went from not being able to do a single push-up to doing 12-15 easily!

Common worries before starting personal training

Personal trainer Darlinghurst client before and after weight lossBeforeAfter

Private Personal Training in Darlinghurst

Looking for the Best Personal Trainer in Darlinghurst?

Yes, Australian Fitness Network offers focused one-to-one personal training in Darlinghurst, and we run every session around you.

As your coach and personal trainer, we set the exercise, pace and progression, so your fitness improves without guesswork. Whether you prefer a busy gym or somewhere quieter, the structure stays the same.

Who Private Personal Training Suits

Private sessions suit the individual who has outgrown a gym membership routine, or never felt comfortable on a busy gym floor. They also suit people returning after a long break. Many of our clients tell us the first thing they want is someone to hold the plan together, and we do that.

Coaching Built Around One Goal at a Time

Our coaching keeps one main goal in front of you, such as building strength, moving more freely or changing how your body feels. We find that chasing three goals at once usually stalls all of them. Once the first is on track, we choose the next together.

  • $110Per 45-minute session. One-to-one coaching with a qualified coach.
  • Private gym in Darlinghurst. Close enough to reach on foot.
  • Mobile personal training. Taylor Square, Hyde Park, Victoria Barracks or your place.
  • Registered with Exercise & Sports Science Australia. First aid and CPR current.
  • One goal at a time. Progressive overload, reviewed every few weeks.

Strength Training at Its Best: Methods and Equipment

Strength training at its best is built on a few proven methods, taught properly and progressed at a sensible pace. We use barbells, kettlebells and suspension straps to build strength, muscle tone and cardiovascular fitness, and we match the equipment to what you can do today.

Anthony, personal trainer Darlinghurst

Anthony

Triathlete · 5 languages

Races triathlons and speaks five languages. Focused, organised and fully on you for 45 minutes. Book in and he handles the rest.

Lifting Fundamentals: Squat, Deadlift and Progressive Overload

The barbell squat and deadlift train the largest muscles in your body, so they return the most strength for your effort. We start with light loads and refine your technique before adding weight. We may estimate your one-repetition maximum to set loads, though many clients simply progress by feel. Progressive overload means asking a little more of your body each week, through extra weight, reps or control, so you keep getting stronger.

Building Muscle Safely With Resistance Training

Resistance training loads your skeletal muscle, and with enough rest and protein it responds through muscle hypertrophy, which is growth in the size and strength of the fibres. Controlled tempo and a good range of movement keep your joints happy while the muscle does the work.

Conditioning With Kettlebells, TRX and Intervals

Kettlebell training and TRX suspension training add functional training for balance, core strength and coordination. For conditioning, we use high-intensity interval training in short, hard bursts with recovery between them, and steady aerobic exercise on lighter days. Together they lift your cardiovascular fitness and help you stay fit for everyday life.

Which Exercises Will You Do With Your Personal Trainer in Darlinghurst?

You will do the exercises that match your goal, your experience and your current fitness. Most programs draw on a short list of movements.

  • Legs and hipsSquats and lunges
  • Back and glutesDeadlifts and kettlebell swings
  • Upper bodyPresses and rows
  • Core strengthTRX pulls and planks
  • FitnessInterval rounds for cardiovascular fitness

Getting started

What Happens in a 45-Minute Training Session

Each 45-minute training session follows a clear shape, so you always know what you're working towards. We adjust the program as you improve, and we explain why each change is made.

Your First Session and Assessment

We begin with a short chat about your history, then check your range of motion through simple movements. A body composition analysis can follow if you want a starting point to compare against later. From that we build a personalised plan for the weeks ahead.

How Each Workout Is Structured

Every workout moves through the same stages:

  1. 1
    Warm-upA warm-up that raises your heart rate and prepares the joints you'll use.
  2. 2
    Main blockThe main exercise block, using weights, kettlebells or bands, depending on the equipment that suits your plan.
  3. 3
    FinishA finisher, then a cool-down and stretch.

We apply progressive overload by gradually adding load, reps or control, so you keep improving and train safely week to week.

Pricing

Personal Trainer Prices and Cost per Session

Per session

$110 / 45 min

What Does $110 for 45 Minutes Cover?

$110 covers 45 minutes of one-to-one coaching with a qualified coach. Your program is written around your goals and adjusted as you improve, and the price covers that planning as well as the time on the floor. Steady attendance is what drives a good result, whether you want to lose weight or build strength.

  • Technique coaching on every lift, so you move well and stay safe
  • A plan adjusted after each session as your strength improves

How Does a 45-Minute Session Run?

Each session runs in the same order: a check-in on your energy, sleep and any niggles, a mobility warm-up for the day's lifts, main strength sets then accessory exercises, a short conditioning block and a stretch. We note your weights and reps so the next session builds on this one.

Programs for everyone

Injury, Mobility and Female Clients: Programs Adapted to You

Training Around an Injury

If you carry an injury, we start by finding what you can do comfortably and build from there. We test mobility and range of motion at the sore joint, then choose movements that stay inside what it tolerates and widen that range gradually.

Female Clients and Women's Health Goals

Female clients often come to us wanting stronger bodies, better energy or steadier health habits. We shape programs around those aims, including weight management and visible muscle tone, and adjust load and intensity to suit how you feel week to week.

Private Sessions or Group Training?

Private sessions suit you when you need close technique coaching or have limits to work around. Group training fits if you enjoy shared energy and your body is moving well. A class-style session or a small group of friends or members can work well once your basics are solid.

Beyond the session

Mobility, Nutrition and Progress Tracking

Good results come from more than the time you spend training.

We pair your sessions with mobility drills for hips, shoulders and spine, simple nutrition guidance including enough protein to support recovery, and regular reviews so your plan keeps moving towards your goal.

Busy weeks

Training Around a Busy Work and Travel Schedule

Long hours and regular travel are the main reasons a workout routine slips. We keep the plan simple: before each week starts, lock 3 to 4 workouts into your calendar, then check your sleep, because poor rest drains energy and makes consistency harder.

Nutrition, Progress and Your Transformation

How Progress Gets Tracked

We measure progress with more than the scales. A body composition analysis, lift numbers, photos and how your clothes fit each tell part of the story. Reviewing them every few weeks shows whether your results match the plan or the plan needs changing.

Food Logging Without the Overwhelm

Good nutrition guidance starts small. We ask you to log calories and protein for a few days, then look at the pattern together. A realistic transformation is a steady journey, and weight management sits alongside training, sleep and routine rather than replacing them.
