Book your Back Yourself Session

Personal training in Deakin
Off The Pine offers one-on-one personal training at Fitness First Deakin, 81 MacGregor Street. This is coaching for people who are done collecting plans and ready to follow one. You do not need to arrive fit, confident or familiar with the gym. You do need to be ready to show up, work honestly and keep your weekly sessions protected.
Your training starts with a Back Yourself Session. We talk about what has stopped you before, what your week really looks like and what you want your body to be able to do. Then we set a practical floor. That is the minimum you can keep on your worst week, not a perfect routine that disappears as soon as work gets busy.
At Fitness First Deakin, each session is coached around your current ability. You will learn how to lift well, move with confidence and build strength without guessing your way through the gym. Your program lives in Everfit, and the Off The Pine community gives you a place to keep learning between sessions.
The goal is not to make you dependent on a trainer. It is to help you become someone who keeps training. Weekly check-ins cover Movement, Nutrition, Recovery and Accountability, so the plan can adjust while the standard stays clear. If Deakin is convenient and you have decided it is time to follow through, start with the session below.
Our Deakin sessions run on the gym floor at Fitness First Deakin on MacGregor Street, close to Yarralumla, Curtin, Hughes, Red Hill, Forrest and Barton. It is an easy stop on the way to or from work in the inner south and the Parliamentary Triangle.
