This really depends on your circumstances. If you are new to training you may benefit from a few personal training sessions before starting classes. PT sessions are a great way to master an exercise sooner, giving you one-on-one time with the trainer to discuss your goals and history in more detail as well as get to know your trainer. 

Likewise, some people simply prefer to do one-on-one personal training rather than working out in a group setting – it really is up to your own personal preference, budget and timetable. 

Other benefits of PT include:

• Flexibility – find a time that suits you, rather than fitting into the class timetable
• Greater accountability – your PT will follow up with you via SMS or Whatsapp to help keep you motivated and accountable
• More time to focus on your technique to make sure you are using proper form and technique
• Variety – we can mix up the PT sessions to suit your changing goals and add more variety
• Extra support for specific needs such as rehab or training for a sports event
• Your experience is personalised, the whole session is just about you!

If your goal is to learn the proper form and technique for specific exercises, a few sessions with a personal trainer may be enough.

However, if you want to make long-term changes with ongoing accountability, support and guidance then you could consider doing PT on-going. 

Some of our students have started off on PT or PT + Classes (Gold membership) and then dropped down to doing just classes. Others have just done PT for years, it really is up to your own circumstances and preferences. 

Other students have started classes and booked PT sessions here and there to work on specific needs. We are flexible in whichever setup you think would work best for you. We can discuss this in your free launch session.

First, we’ll schedule a free launch session where we can discuss your goals, training preferences and any history or current injury. 

Your first session will be a gentle introduction to the program (unless you tell us you let us know you want a more intense workout) to get you familiar with the exercises and stretches. 

Our friendly, knowledgeable trainers will let you know why we recommend certain exercises, what muscles you’ll be working and how to activate muscles to get the most from the exercise as well as prevent injury. 

Each session we’ll either work on push, pull or legs or a full body workout, depending on how often you train. When exercises get too easy, you’ll progress to the next ones!

You can expect plenty of great conversation, information and fun whilst you get strong!

Overall, the goal of the Free Launch Session is to get a clear understanding of your needs and goals. This will allow us to create a customised plan that will help you achieve your fitness and strength objectives.

During this session, we’ll also get you to do a warm-up and a few exercises to help determine your starting point.

Wear your sports gear and bring a bottle of water.

When starting out we recommend booking 2 sessions per week, as well as finding time to do a 3rd session in your own time, to help establish a good routine. Working with us one-on-one twice a week will get you up and running with the program quickly and will get you results sooner. 

Of course, you may not be able to train twice a week or you may want to train more times per week it’s really up to you. 

We’ll set you up with a program that you can use outside of the session so you can do more workouts if you want to. These can be done at home with little to no equipment, at the gym or in an outdoor gym.

If you are training 2-3 times per week you can see results in as little as 2 weeks. If you can stay consistent, even if that’s just training twice a week, over time you will get results. Consistency is key. 

Getting adequate sleep (where possible) and sticking to a healthy, nutritious diet can also help you get better results. A well-rested body with all the nutrients it needs will be able to recover and adapt much quicker than someone who is sleep-deprived and getting poor nutrition. 

We’ll provide you with details of a free app that you can download to your phone and set up a program tailored to your needs. 

You’ll be able to track the number of reps and sets as well as the difficulty of each exercise. At the end of the workout, you’ll get a summary of any Personal Bests you may have achieved. 

Over time we’ll mix up the workouts and progress exercises to keep things interesting and to help you reach your goals.

No please come and have your free launch session so we can discuss your injury and how we can support you.

We have helped people with various injuries and niggles including knees, shoulders, wrists, elbows and backs. Our experienced trainers can recommend exercises and muscle activation drills to help you recover sooner.

Not at all! At MPC we have been trained to work with clients of all ages and strength levels and will create programs for your individual needs. We have worked with teenagers all the way to students in their 70s, there’s no limit you just need to show up and work with you to get the most from your sessions. 

For older adults, working with one of our personal trainers can help to improve balance and coordination, build muscle mass and bone density, and decrease the risk of falls and injuries. We can work with specific health conditions/ injuries to find the right exercises for your needs. 

For younger adults and teenagers, our PTs can help to build strength, improve athletic performance and teach proper form and technique to reduce the risk of injury.

There are a couple of options here, firstly you can join our small group classes that are run at various locations including the Sutherland Shire, Rosebery and the Sydney CBD.

Group classes are a great way to meet like minded people who want to get strong. You’ll also get guidance from our trainers, support from the friendly community and motivation to keep up your weekly routine. 

Alternatively, we can give you a program within an app to follow in your own time, so you can get your sessions in when it’s most convenient for you. 

We recommend doing some light exercises such as walking and stretching between workouts to allow the muscles to recover more easily.

Our trainers are all certificate III and certificate IV qualified and do ongoing training and development. 

Our founder Dave developed our core programs and continues to make adjustments over time to improve the outcomes for our students. Dave has provided training and guidance for all our trainers and he and Nathan are committed to continual learning to be able to pass down the latest findings from research and experience. 

Dave has completed many certifications including the progressive calisthenics certification and various movement certifications. All our trainers are up to date on their first aid training. 

At MPC we provide Calisthenics or bodyweight strength training to help improve your strength and allow you to reach your potential. 

We are not Drill Sergeants! Our approach is friendly, informative, practical and tailored to your needs. You’ll be kept on track with your workout and we’ll follow up with you between sessions to check on how you are going.

With Calisthenics you use your own body weight to build strength. 

This has many benefits including:

• Safe progressions to get you to your goals without injury
• No gym membership required
• Work out at home, in the park – you name it!
• Get stronger than you thought possible
• Practical movements for everyday situations (walking down stairs, lifting objects etc.)

Absolutely, our trainers operate in the Sutherland Shire, Sydney CBD and Rosebery so you choose where you prefer to train and when. 

Perhaps you live in Rosebery but work in the CBD, so you could have a PT session in both locations with different trainers or the same trainer – you choose!
