Personal Training
Session-based coaching
Personal training is exactly what it sounds like: you turn up, we train, and I coach you through the session.
It’s useful if you:
Want guidance in the moment
Enjoy being coached during a workout
Don’t need a long-term plan
What it includes
Coaching during the session
Exercise selection for that day
Technique cues and adjustments
What it doesn’t include
Screening or assessment
Long-term programming
Periodisation or progression planning
Scientific rationale behind why things change
Adjustments between sessions
You’re training — not following a system.
Coaching (Recommended)
Structured performance development
Coaching is where the real work happens.
This isn’t just “more sessions” — it’s owning the entire training process from assessment to progression.
Coaching includes:
Screening & assessment to identify strengths, limitations, and priorities
Individualised programming, built around your goals, history, and capacity
Periodisation so training phases actually make sense
Progression planning instead of random increases
Scientific reasoning behind exercise selection, volume, and intensity
Ongoing adjustments based on performance and feedback
In short: every decision has a reason, and every change is deliberate.
This is for people who want:
Predictable progress
A clear plan instead of guesswork
Training that adapts as they do
Confidence that what they’re doing actually makes sense
Coaching is priced weekly because the work happens between sessions.
What My Athletes Say!
-
"I wanted to improve my form and technique through a vast range of body weight movements. After the session my overall goals were achieved, identifying possible issues with movements. Working around injury and together Don and I solved and corrected errors in my technique!"
Oliver
-
“Your testing program was really well thought out, and your guidance whenever I needed help understanding the exercise was incredibly helpful. You explained everything clearly and in detail, which made it much easier to follow. The feedback you gave at the end was especially valuable—it pointed out things I hadn’t noticed I was doing wrong. Overall, thank you for such an excellent and supportive session.”
Calvin
-
“When I started with FTM my initial goal was to identify weaknesses in my gym work and improve my technique/form and flexibility. After working with Don in depth I noticed a significant positive change in my form by learning the correct techniques and improving my overall form. Also to note after the session I didn’t feel sore in the parts of me that usually hurt in a not so good way. Don is a great bloke offering flexible programs working on fixing errors and improving on weaknesses.”
Brandon

“When starting with FTM and coaching with Don I wanted to improve my flexibility. After working with Don closely my mindset changed significantly in a positive way. He also picked up on so many things that helped me improve my technique and overall form. When working with Don expect some fantastic motivation!!”
Lewis

“I started working with Don to improve my strength and lose body fat. After my first session I felt a massive improvement in my coordination and a solid plan moving forward in order to help me achieve my goals. Overall he’s a great guy and a great coach.”
