Personalised training, with professional support wherever you train
If you’ve never worked with a trainer or coach online, it might seem like a daunting idea. I was sceptical when I started my first online program with a trainer too!
But it ended up being the best coaching experience I’d ever had, with so much extra support and dramatically better results than I had anticipated.
Online coaching includes a personalised training program, asynchronous technique feedback and ongoing support throughout your week, without needing to be in the gym for every session.
Whether you train in a commercial gym, home gym or your living room, your program is built around your goals, current strength and fitness, movement patterns and the equipment you have available.
What’s Included in Online Coaching?
- Your program is created specifically for you following a week of assessment sessions and delivered through the TrainHeroic app. As you progress, your exercises, loads and programming are reviewed and adjusted to suit your individual needs and goals.
Exercise demonstrations
- You'll have access to my personal exercise library, including video demonstrations and technique cues to remind you how each exercise should be performed. These resources are available throughout your training to help you practise movements with greater confidence.
Nutrition and general health support
- Your coaching includes nutrition and general health support targeted towards your individual goals. If weight loss is one of those goals, we'll look at your training alongside other changes that may help you achieve the results you're working towards.
Technique reviews and feedback
- Send videos of your workouts through the TrainHeroic chat so I can review your technique. I'll provide feedback, cues and strategies to help you perform exercises more effectively, progress sensibly and know when to add more load.
Optional fortnightly check-ins
How Does Online Coaching Work?
Start with an enquiry
Fill out the enquiry form and I’ll contact you to arrange a discovery call.
I prefer to speak with people before they start online coaching so we can make sure the service is appropriate for what you need.
We discuss your goals and training set-up
During your discovery call, we’ll talk about your goals, training experience and the equipment and space you have available.
You might be training in a full commercial gym, a home gym or simply have some space available in your living room.
From there, we can discuss what type of training program is going to be sustainable for you and your goals.
Complete your assessment week
Once you’ve signed up, I’ll onboard you onto the TrainHeroic app and set you up with a series of assessment sessions.
You’ll record the requested movements and send them through for review so I can get a better understanding of your current strength, fitness and movement.
Start your personalised program
Once your assessment is complete, I’ll put together your personalised training program and get you started as soon as possible.
As you work through your sessions, you’ll send through exercise videos for review and receive feedback through the app.
Keep progressing
From there, we continue to review your technique, progress your training and make adjustments when needed.
If you’d like the additional face-to-face time, we can also book your optional fortnightly check-ins.
WHAT DRIVES ME
Is Online Coaching Right for You?
Online coaching is best suited to someone who has trained before and feels reasonably comfortable working independently, but wants more structure, professional programming and ongoing feedback.
It could be a great fit if you:
- have some previous gym or training experience
- are comfortable using an app and sending regular videos
- want a structured program rather than trying to work out what to do yourself
- want a professional eye over your technique
- want professional support and guidance but don’t need a trainer with you every step of the way
- want to feel more confident progressing into heavier weights
- have an ongoing pain or niggle that you haven’t been able to resolve
- have struggled with weight loss and want additional support and insight
- want quality, personalised programming designed around YOU rather than relying on generic programs or low-cost services that don’t take your individual movement patterns into account.
A big part of the value of online coaching comes from being able to see how you’re actually moving. So you do need to be willing to record yourself regularly and work through feedback online.
Who might be better suited to in-person training?
Online coaching probably isn’t the right starting point if you’re in a lot of pain, aren’t comfortable with technology or don’t feel comfortable or capable of regularly recording your exercises.
If you’ve never trained before, online coaching may also feel quite daunting. It’s not impossible, but in-person training will often be a better place to start so you can build confidence with the exercises and training environment first.
If you’re unsure, that’s exactly what we can discuss during your discovery call.

What Do I Need?
You don’t necessarily need a commercial gym membership to get started. You’ll need enough space to perform your exercises safely, whether that’s at home, in a small home gym or at a commercial gym.
We’ll discuss the equipment you already have access to during your initial discovery call. If you’re willing to invest in some basic equipment to progress your program this is also ideal, things such as bands, dumbbells etc.
You’ll also need a phone to record your exercises.
A phone magnet or tripod can make recording easier, but it doesn’t need to be complicated! Sometimes setting your phone up on a bench, behind a weight or even on the floor does the trick.
Online coaching is currently available Australia-wide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Find out what to expect from online coaching.
Ideally, yes!
This is where a lot of the value of online coaching comes from. Having my eyes on what you’re doing means I can help you perform the exercises more effectively, make technique adjustments and give you feedback that can help you progress.
The workouts are tailored to your current fitness and strength level based on the assessments we complete at the beginning.
The first couple of weeks can be a little more energy intensive whilst you’re watching exercise demonstrations, learning the movements, getting used to the app and sending videos through for feedback.
Once you’ve learned the exercises and become familiar with the process, this generally becomes much easier. However, to achieve the desired results, you have to be willing to push the muscles enough to create adaptations, which we also discuss during the coaching process.
Online Coaching Pricing
Because online coaching is personalised, I don’t list a standard price or minimum commitment before speaking with you. I want to understand your goals and what level of support you actually need first, rather than asking you to choose a service based purely on a price.
After your enquiry, we’ll have a discovery call to discuss what you’re working towards, whether online coaching is suitable and what the appropriate option looks like for you.
