Personal training in Melbourne CBD

What a personal training block looks like

It starts in the lab, not on the floor. Before anyone touches a barbell you get the InBody scan, a filmed movement screen and a sit-down about what you're actually training for — a wedding, a marathon, a spine that stops complaining.

From there your coach builds a 6-week block and adjusts it weekly based on how the numbers move. Sessions run 50 minutes on the strength floor or in a private suite if you'd rather train without an audience.

  • Program reviewed and rewritten every 6 weeks
  • Velocity tracking on every barbell session
  • App log your coach checks between sessions
  • Quarterly retest in the performance lab
  • Private suite upgrade available at $40/session

The process

From first scan to first block

About ten days end to end — the lab part is quick, the thinking part takes a few days.

Day 1

Lab baseline

InBody scan, movement screen, a 20-minute talk about goals and history.

Day 2–4

Program written

Your coach builds the block and runs it past a second coach — two sets of eyes, every time.

Day 5

Walkthrough session

You run the program once together, loads get calibrated, app gets synced.

Weeks 1–6

The block

Train, log, adjust. Your coach watches the app between sessions and tweaks loads mid-week if needed.

Week 6

Retest

Back into the lab. Numbers in, next block out.

In practice

Where the work happens

The strength floor is where most PT sessions live — platforms, racks and enough chalk for everyone.

Eleiko platform with calibrated plates

The platforms

Six Eleiko rigs, calibrated discs, competition-standard bars.

Coach watching bar path on the velocity screen

The screens

Velocity and bar path tracked every rep — the dip shows before you feel it.

Private training suite with own equipment set

The suites

Two private pods for sessions without an audience — own entry, own shower.

Who's coaching

Marcus programs what he'd run himself

Ex-VFL strength lead, fourteen years coaching everyone from CEOs to state sprinters. His sessions are quiet, technical and heavier than they look.

His line when someone asks if they can skip the warm-up: 'You can. Write it on the waiver.'

Questions

Before you ask

No — non-members pay the same $135 casual rate plus a $20 floor pass on the day. If you train twice a week or more, the math starts favouring a membership quickly.

Yes, and we'll say honestly if a different coach suits your goal better. Endurance goals go to Priya, desk-spine issues to Lena, boxing to Andre — the rest of us fight over whoever's left.

Most new clients haven't. The first two weeks are technique-only — light bar, lots of reps, filmed and reviewed. Nobody throws weight at day one.

Coaches are on the floor from 5:30am and the 6am slots go first — book a week ahead for those. Lunchtime and post-7pm are easier to land.
