Who this is for

Who this is for

Beginners in Melbourne and across the Space Coast who want to start training but do not know where to begin. You do not need to be fit to start. Getting you there is our job.

  • You have never lifted weights and want someone to show you how
  • You feel intimidated walking into a regular gym
  • You are coming back after years off and are not sure what your body can handle
  • You tried workout videos or apps and were never sure you were doing it right
  • You want a slow, safe start that turns into a real habit

Honest answer

Skip it if

Beginner coaching starts easy on purpose. If one of these sounds like you, another program will fit better, and we will say so at the consult.

  • You already train on your own and want advanced programming. Our strength and muscle building coaching fits better.
  • You have a recent injury or surgery and no clearance yet. Get cleared first, then we build around it.
  • You want an all-out, sweat-until-you-drop workout on day one. We build up gradually.
  • You want a big group class. Beginner coaching here is 1-on-1 or small group.

What you get

A safe place to start

Everything is taught. Nothing is assumed.

Form before weight

Every movement is taught with light loads first. Weight only goes up when the pattern looks right.

Every exercise explained

We tell you what each exercise is for and how it should feel. No question is too basic.

Safety built in

Warm-ups, sensible loads, and a coach watching every rep so you avoid the mistakes that cause injuries.

No intimidation

A private studio on S Babcock St. No crowd, no mirrors full of strangers, no one judging what you lift.

Habits that stick

Two or three sessions a week and one small habit at a time. Small wins first, then build.

Progress you can see

InBody scans and a training log show how far you have come, even in the first few weeks.

How it works

What your first week looks like

No surprises. Here is exactly what happens.

  1. Book a free consult

    A relaxed chat about your goals, your history, and anything that worries you about starting.

  2. InBody scan and easy movement check

    A quick body composition scan, then simple movements like sitting to a box and reaching overhead so we know where to start.

  3. Your first session

    Your coach walks you through a warm-up and a handful of basic movements at light weights. You leave feeling good, not wrecked.

  4. Build week by week

    Each session adds a little more. Your coach logs it all so you can see yourself improving.

  • I've only been working with him for a couple months, but without a doubt, Cody is the best trainer I’ve ever worked with! After being let down by trainers at big commercial gyms, working with Cody has been a completely different experience. He’s super knowledgeable, intentional, and you can tell he genuinely cares about your progress. He has a way of challenging you to push for that next level while still recognizing when your body has hit its limit.

    I look forward to every session and love that they feel fun and personalized. The best part is that his guidance doesn’t stop when you leave your session—you also get access to the app that includes curated workouts and exercises to do at home. He’s quick to respond over text for any questions you may have and provides clear explanations that just make sense.

    I can’t wait to keep progressing and seeing what I can achieve. Highly recommend training with Cody!!

  • Cody is hands down the best personal trainer I’ve ever worked with. His coaching style is the perfect balance of pushing you to that next level while still knowing exactly when your body has hit its limit. He genuinely cares about his clients’ success—not just in the gym, but in their overall lifestyle.

    What really sets Cody apart is that he doesn’t just show up and tell you what exercises to do. He takes the time to understand your goals, your challenges, and how to create long-term, sustainable success. Every session feels purposeful and personalized.

    If you’re looking for a trainer who’s committed, knowledgeable, and truly invested in your growth, Cody is the one. Highly recommend!

  • I can't recommend Lexie highly enough! She's truly a fantastic personal trainer. Not only is she certified in both nutrition and personal training (a huge plus!), but she's also incredibly goal-oriented. From our initial consultation, she helped me define realistic and achievable targets, and then developed a personalized plan to get me there. I really appreciate her focus on time management – our sessions are always efficient and productive, and she's respectful of my busy schedule. What sets Lexie apart is her resourcefulness. She's always coming up with creative ways to keep my workouts challenging and engaging, and if I have any questions (about fitness or nutrition), she's a wealth of knowledge. Beyond her professional skills, she's also a genuinely personable and supportive trainer. She motivates me to push myself while also making our sessions enjoyable. If you're looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, dedicated, and truly cares about your success, Lexi is the perfect choice!

How much does personal training for beginners cost in Melbourne, FL?

It depends on sessions per week and whether you train 1-on-1 or in a small group. We give you a clear price after your free consult and InBody scan. No signup or cancellation fees.

I am out of shape. Should I get fit before I start personal training?

No. Starting out of shape is exactly what beginner coaching is for. Your coach sets a pace that feels manageable and builds from there.

What happens in my first personal training session?

A warm-up, a few basic movements like squats, hinges, and pushes at light weights, and plenty of explaining. The goal is to leave feeling good and knowing what you did.

Will I be sore after my first workout?

Maybe a little, which is normal when you start something new. We keep early sessions light on purpose so soreness stays mild and you are ready for the next one.

How many days a week should a beginner train?

Two or three sessions a week is a great start for most beginners. Your coach may add walking or simple habits for the days in between.

What should I wear to my first session?

Comfortable clothes you can move in, supportive shoes, and a water bottle. We handle the rest, including all equipment.

Can I start personal training with a bad back or knee?

Often, yes. Tell your coach about it at the free consult, and if the pain is recent or getting worse, check with your doctor first. We start with movements that feel good and progress slowly.

Do you offer beginner personal training near Palm Bay?

Yes. The studio on S Babcock St in Melbourne is an easy drive from Palm Bay, West Melbourne, and Satellite Beach. It is private, so you learn the basics without a crowd watching.

What certifications do your trainers have?

Our coaches hold personal training certifications, and Cody is a Certified Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, and Weight Loss Specialist. Ask about each coach's background at your free consult.

How long before personal training starts to feel easier?

The first few weeks are mostly about learning the movements, and sessions start to feel familiar soon after. Everyone moves at their own pace, and your coach adjusts the plan as you go.
