What You Actually Get From a Personal Trainer in Richmond
That means real progress tracking, goals that fit your schedule and your life instead of a generic 12-week template, and a plan that shifts when it needs to. No cookie-cutter programs. No printout you get once and never see touched again.
Regular check-ins, movement assessments, and a Richmond gym floor full of people who know your name training here doesn’t feel like something you’re doing solo. If you want a personal trainer in Richmond who’ll actually hold you to the plan, that’s what you get at Dukes Gym.
YOUR PROGRAM, BUILT AROUND YOU
Before your trainer writes a single session, they sit down and get to know you: what you’re working with, what you want, what’s realistic for your actual week. Strength work, conditioning, mobility, flexibility – whatever the goal calls for goes into the plan.
Our Richmond gym is fully equipped too, so your program never gets watered down by missing kit or a packed floor at peak hours. You’ll get consistent feedback and support along the way, which tends to be the actual difference between people who stall out after a month and people who keep pushing.
Losing weight, building muscle, just getting fitter overall – whatever brought you in is what we build toward. Come train with a personal trainer in Richmond who builds the plan around you, not the other way around.
WHATEVER TIME YOU TRAIN, WE’RE OPEN
Sign up for personal training at Dukes Gym Richmond and 24/7 gym access comes with it no extra cost, no separate membership to juggle. Top-of-the-line equipment, an open floor plan, room to actually move instead of waiting on someone to finish with the rack.
Early riser, night owl, squeezing a session in between meetings doesn’t matter. The gym’s open whenever your schedule allows it. Your trainer’s guidance sits on top of that.
That’s really the whole pitch: a dedicated personal trainer in Richmond holding you accountable, plus a key fob that gets you in any hour you want to put in the work. You don’t have to pick one or the other here.
RIGHT IN THE HEART OF RICHMOND
No fighting for a car space. No trekking into the city. Just a gym that’s actually on your route – walk in, bike in, tram in, whatever gets you through the door.
A great program doesn’t mean much if getting to the gym is the hardest part of your day. We built Dukes Gym Richmond so it wouldn’t be.
DOESN’T MATTER IF THIS IS DAY ONE OR YEAR TEN
Already years into training? Different problem, same gym. Your trainer builds a program around where you’re stuck, not a generic “advanced” template, and pushes you past whatever plateau brought you in.
We also run a dedicated Women’s Only space at our Richmond gym – fully equipped, private, run by coaches who know what works for the women training there. No guessing, no awkwardness. Just a space built for it.
Beginner or ten years in, the starting point doesn’t matter much. What matters is having someone in your corner who actually knows where you’re trying to go.

How do I know if I need a personal trainer?
A trainer helps set you on the right path from day one and will cut down the time it takes for you to see results. Can you figure it all out on your own? With enough Youtube videos and Googling, sure! But it’s like buying the text book and never going to class. It’s possible to learn maths this way, but it’ll take longer and probably lead to a bit of confusion. So short answer is, you don’t have to have one, but it’s sure going to make working out a lot more effective 😊
How long does it take before I start seeing results?
Obviously this depends on a variety of factors, but if you’re new to the gym the first week you’re going to be a little sore, the next week you’ll be a little less sore and by week 4 you’ll be looking and performing vastly different to when you started. If you’re a little more experienced, then you should see progress each training block (8 weeks).
How will I know if it’s going to work for me?
If you’re asking this question it usually means you’ve tried things in the past and it hasn’t worked out. The only way you’re really going to know whether it works for you is to just start. No plan is going to be perfect, but we can guarantee that if you come in and work with us, we’ll get you moving in the right direction. And if for whatever reason it’s just not working for you, the coaching memberships are fortnight to fortnight so you’re not locked in to anything long term.

How will my trainer know what program and exercises are right for me?
During your first session with your trainer you’ll go through your exercise history (including goals, past training experience and any injuries) and then a strength testing and movement screen.
Strength testing gives us a clear understanding of your current physical capabilities, such as how much you can lift safely and efficiently. It also helps us identify muscle imbalances or areas that need strengthening. Movement screening, on the other hand, is all about how your body moves. We assess your mobility, flexibility, posture and stability across key movement patterns. This lets us spot any movement limitations or areas that need improvement so we can help prevent injuries and build a solid foundation.
Based on how you move and where you’re starting from, we’ll create a program that supports your goals and gets you real, sustainable results.
What qualifications do your trainers have?
All of our trainers who coach at our personal training gyms have at least a Cert III & IV in Fitness, but we also all have individual sporting and athletic backgrounds. We can help you with everything from basic weight loss and muscle tone, to building muscle, breaking through plateaus and even training for marathons, triathlons, bodybuilding and powerlifting competitions. Why? Because we’ve done it before and can share our first hand experience.
What kind of goals can your team help me achieve?
We have a diverse and passionate team of trainers and coaches. The most common goal people train for is basic weight loss and muscle tone. We can also help with building muscle, breaking through plateaus and even training for marathons, triathlons, bodybuilding and powerlifting competitions.
How do you come up with a training program for me?
After completing a thorough exercise history (including goals in the gym, previous training experience and injuries), we do a movement screen and strength testing session on the gym floor. This allows us to see how you move and come up with a tailored training block to put your goals into an actionable plan.
What’s a training block?
A training block is a period of time (we generally do eight-week blocks) where you’re honing in on the same workouts and movements. By having consistency in workouts, it allows us to focus on progressive overload, form and technique. It also keeps both you and your trainer accountable and lets us measure your progress.
Will you be able to help me with my nutrition?
Yes! Our team has both professional and first-hand experience with nutrition and we will be able to help you get on the right track. We believe that training and nutrition go hand in hand. What you do in the gym is just one part of the equation. How you fuel your body plays a massive role in your energy levels, recovery, body composition and overall results.
Whether your goal is weight loss, muscle gain or improved performance, a solid nutrition plan will fast-track your progress and help you maintain it long-term. We offer practical advice tailored to your lifestyle, preferences and goals — no crash diets or crazy fads, just fundamentals that work.
To get started, you can reach out to our team directly or explore our nutrition resources page for help tips, guides and tools that align with your training program.
How often do I need to see a personal trainer in order to see results?
This will vary from person to person and their individual starting points. If you’re brand new to the gym/personal training, even just one session per week will have you seeing better results than just coming in and trying to work everything out yourself.
What do I do on the days I’m not seeing my trainer?
Your trainer will put together a program for you that you’ll be able to follow on the days you’re not training with them. This means you’ll always have a plan when you’re coming to the gym and you’ll always know exactly what you’re meant to be doing and when.
What times are your trainers available?
We have trainers on from 12pm till 8pm Monday to Friday
How do we make sure training is safe and injuries are avoided?
The best tool we have to avoid injury is the initial movement screen and exercise history session we do on day one. Part of your trainer’s job is to encourage and challenge you. We also know what exercises we can push you on and which ones we need to pay more attention to form and technique.
In addition, Dukes Gym is fitted with high-quality, commercial-grade equipment that’s regularly maintained and easy to adjust. With us, you’ll always be training in a safe, supportive environment.
While we can’t eliminate injuries, we can make sure you’re lifting in the safest manner possible, to minimise any potential niggles or injuries.
How much does personal training cost?
$69.95 per session
Are there any lock in contracts or minimum terms?
No. We bill fortnight to fortnight in advance. If you want to change your membership let us know and we can switch it over from the next billing cycle.
Should I wait till I’m back in a routine and training regularly before coming in to see a trainer?
No — that’s like waiting until you feel better before going to the doctor. Clients see us to help improve their fitness and results in the gym. If you’re just getting back to the gym or you’re brand new to the gym it’s actually the best time to see us. Not only can we help you with motivation and accountability, we can make sure that you’re on the right track from day one

WHAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU
Here’s the thing, everyone was a beginner at the gym at some point. We don’t expect new clients to be able to squat, bench and deadlift like a professional powerlifter.
What we have found over the years is that clients who are willing to accept help and make their own health a priority get the results that they are after – that hitting the gym is not just an optional extra in their week.
So, all we expect from you is to get on board. Commit to your training and nutrition frameworks that have personally worked for us, and you show up to your sessions consistently, not just for us, but for you.
Why is this important to us?
Because we know if you follow our advice, with consistency, there is no option but for results to follow. And when it’s all said and done, that’s what you pay us for – to get you a result!
WHY TRAIN WITH US?
We’ve helped thousands of clients across Richmond and Melbourne’s inner-east not only get in the best shape of their lives. People from all walks of life chose to train with us. From uni students and young professionals to accomplished businessman and local celebrities.
Many of our members and clients have the choice to train literally anywhere and with whoever they want, but they choose us. Why? Because we’ve raised the standard of what it means to be a fitness professional.
We have built a team of accomplished trainers and athletes that genuinely care about their clients. It’s not enough to simply craft a great program and give some form cues. Our team is committed to serving each and every client as best we can, developing programs that deliver results, but most importantly, make sure that the gym becomes our clients happy place.
We’ve helped 1000s of clients across Victoria not only got in the best shape of their lives, but build a new level of confidence and enthusiasm for the gym. If you’ve ever wanted to make real progress with your fitness then speak to us, we’d love to help you too.
