Personal Training That's Actually Personal.
Don't know where to start? Struggling to get back into exercise? Or putting in the effort but not seeing the results you expected?
That's where we come in.
At Tighten Up, our boutique gym in St Kilda, we take the guesswork out of training.
Whether you're a complete beginner, returning after a break or looking to take your training further, we start by understanding you: your goals, your experience, how you move and what you want to achieve.
From there, we develop a program specifically for you, coach you through every session and adjust your training as you progress.
Your sessions are booked. Your program is planned. Your coach is expecting you.
No wandering around wondering what to do next. No trying to figure everything out yourself.
With experienced coaches, individualised programming and genuine accountability, you'll have the guidance and structure to keep moving forward.
1-on-1 Personal Training St Kilda
Your Goals. Your Program. Your Progress.
This is your dedicated training time, with individual attention from one of our experienced coaches.
We're there to observe how you move, refine your technique, challenge you appropriately and make adjustments when needed.
Some days that means pushing a little harder. Other days it means adapting your training to what's happening with your body.
Whether your focus is building strength, improving mobility, changing your body composition or working around physical limitations, your training evolves as you do.
It's not just about what exercises you do. It's about why you're doing them and how they're helping you progress.
2-on-1 Personal Training St Kilda
Train Together. Get Coached Individually.
Want to train with your partner, a friend or a family member? Our 2-on-1 Personal Training gives you the opportunity to share the experience while still receiving individualised coaching.
You don't need to be at the same fitness level or have the same goals.
Our coaches adapt exercises, weights and progressions to suit each person, so you're both working towards your own results.
There's also something to be said for having someone alongside you. A little friendly competition, encouragement and the occasional laugh can make training together even more enjoyable.
Two people. Individual goals. Experienced coaching.
We Look at How You Move Before You Start
How you move today helps us determine what your training needs to focus on first.
Before you begin Personal Training at Tighten Up, we take you through a Functional Movement Screen to observe how you move and highlight any movement limitations that may influence your training.
This helps us understand your starting point and make informed decisions when developing your individual training program.
If something raises concerns, we may recommend consulting your GP, physiotherapist or osteopath before commencing training.
We'd rather address potential concerns before you start than discover them halfway through your training.
It's part of our commitment to responsible coaching and your long-term progress.
Why Choose Tighten Up for Personal Training?
Experienced Coaches. Personal Attention. Genuine Accountability.
At Tighten Up, we believe great coaching is about more than knowing which exercises to prescribe.
It's knowing how to adapt, when to challenge you and when to take a different approach.
With over 19 years of hands on coaching experience behind our Head Coach, we've worked with complete beginners, experienced lifters and people navigating all sorts of physical challenges.
Our St Kilda boutique gym is built around coached, appointment based training. We're not an open gym where you're left to figure things out yourself.
What can you expect?
- Experienced Coaches: Practical knowledge, attention to technique and coaching that adapts to your capabilities.
- Appointment-Based Accountability: Your sessions are scheduled, and we're expecting you.
- Progressive Programming: Your training evolves as your strength, movement and capabilities develop.
- A Welcoming Environment: No crowded gym floor or fighting for equipment. Just a dedicated space to train.
- Coaching That Goes Beyond the Session: We want you to understand what you're doing and why, not simply follow instructions.
