PERSONAL TRAINING
Feel stronger in your body, and in your mind.
Personal training at Gym Lab isn't about how you look. It's about how you feel: steadier, calmer, more confident, and strong enough for the life you want to live.
Whether you're new to exercise, coming back after years away, or ready for more, we start where you are.
Is personal training for me?
If you've ever thought "I'd go to the gym, but I don't know where to start," this is for you. Personal training suits people who:
-
have never set foot in a gym, or haven't in years
-
want movement to help them feel better mentally, not just physically
-
want strength for everyday life, like stairs, gardening or picking up the grandkids
-
are training for something, like a hike, a holiday or an adventure
-
want to feel confident using the gym on their own
No judgement, no pressure. Come as you are.
How it works
1. When you book your free consultation, you'll be asked to fill in a short form about your goals, your history, and anything we need to work around.
2. Free 30-minute consultation. We meet at Gym Lab, go through your form together, and I'll take you through some simple movements to see how your body moves. No pressure, no fitness test, just getting to know you.
3. Your personalised program. Using everything from your consultation, I'll build a program around your goals, your body and your life.
4. Train together. 45-minute sessions, one-on-one, building week by week, with a plan for training on your own between sessions if you'd like one.

Amy
Hi, I'm Amy, co-owner of Gym Lab and a qualified personal trainer (Certificate IV in Fitness).
I've never been good at sitting still. The beach, running, and getting out on an adventure are where I feel most like myself, and moving my body is what clears my head.
Movement has helped me through some hard seasons, and that's the real reason I became a PT. I want to help people feel stronger in their bodies, but even more in their minds. You can read more about why Lil and I built Gym Lab in our story over here.
Working as a fitness instructor has shown me it works. I watch people walk in nervous on day one, and a few months later they stand taller, their faces light up, and they come back from holidays telling me about things they couldn't have done before. That's why I show up.

Common questions
I'm really unfit. Should I get fitter first?
No, that's exactly what personal training is for. We start where you are.
Can personal training help my mental health?
Many people find regular movement helps them feel calmer, sleep better and cope with stress, and I'll always train you with your mind in mind, not just your body. It's not a replacement for support from your GP or a mental health professional, but it can be a great partner to it.
I have an injury or health condition. Can I still train?
Often, yes. Note it on your form and we'll talk it through at your consultation. For some conditions, I may ask you to check with your doctor or physio first so we can plan safely.
What should I bring?
Comfortable clothes, runners, a water bottle and a towel.
Where are sessions held?
At Gym Lab, 8 Pengilley Avenue, Apollo Bay.
