1. What should I expect in my first session?

Before your first session you will have a 1 on 1 consultation with a Trainer. This allows you to meet one of our trainers and identify what you wish to achieve from your training, determine some goals, discuss your fitness background and identify what types of training are appealing to you. It is also beneficial to use this opportunity to discuss any other queries you may have in regard to training.

2.       What do I have to bring to sessions?

We recommend the following for all Personal Training:

• Comfortable exercise clothes – something you don’t mind getting dirty
• Comfortable running shoes
• Drink Bottle
• A Positive attitude!

3.       What are the qualifications of your trainers and what is the industry standard?

The industry standard for Personal Trainers in Australia that they possess both a Certificate III of Fitness and the Certificate and IV of Fitness. At MPT We pride ourselves in the quality of our trainers, and continually support our trainers in furthering their education and knowledge by attending industry recognised conferences such as Filex and ESSA.
