Personal Training Heidelberg — Advanced Health Preston (12 Min Drive)
Advanced Health Preston draws a notable number of patients from Heidelberg — it’s 12 minutes on Bell Street and Plenty Road, and the combination of chiropractic and personal training available here isn’t easily replicated locally. Andrew Cunningham is a chiropractor-trainer who assesses movement and injury at a clinical level before he writes a single set or rep. For Heidelberg residents who’ve been through the standard gym experience and found it inadequate — or who’ve avoided training because of a chronic injury — Andrew’s approach is a different proposition.
Getting here from Heidelberg
From Heidelberg, take Bell Street west to Plenty Road, then south to 4/107 Plenty Road, Preston — about 12 minutes by car. Free on-site parking is available at the clinic. Heidelberg station connects to the Hurstbridge line; from Northcote or Clifton Hill you can transfer to tram routes running toward Preston. Personal training sessions take place at Snap Fitness Preston, a full-facility gym around the corner from the clinic — Andrew will direct you on exact location when you book.
Clinical personal training for Heidelberg residents
Heidelberg’s population includes a broad range of people who want structured, expert-supervised exercise — from Austin Hospital staff doing shift work who need programming that fits irregular schedules, to retirees from the surrounding suburbs who want to build physical capacity under proper guidance. Andrew has programmed for all of these presentations.
What distinguishes Andrew’s personal training is the clinical foundation. He’s not using a training app and a generic protocol — he’s applying 12+ years of clinical experience reading how bodies move under load. If your training history includes a disc injury, a hip replacement, or a shoulder that’s been operated on, Andrew knows what those things actually mean for load, range of motion, and exercise selection. That context changes everything about how a programme is designed.
What’s included
- Movement and strength assessment: First session establishes your baseline and identifies any structural or injury-related considerations that need to be factored into programming.
- Individualised programme: Written around your goals, injury history, and current capacity. Progressively updated as you adapt.
- All sessions supervised: Andrew is present for every session — technique feedback, load management, and real-time adjustments.
- Chiropractic integration option: If you’re managing an active complaint, Andrew can coordinate your chiropractic treatment and training to work together rather than at cross-purposes.

FAQs — Personal training near Heidelberg
Is 12 minutes from Heidelberg worth the drive?
For most clients, the answer has been yes — because the alternative is a standard gym trainer who can’t assess their movement, programme around their injury history, or treat them clinically when something flares up. If you’ve been managing a chronic condition and want training that accounts for it properly, the drive is usually worth it.
Can Andrew treat my injury and train me?
Yes. Andrew does both from the same clinic. Chiropractic appointments and personal training sessions can be scheduled independently or on the same visit. Many Heidelberg clients use both services — treating the complaint and building the strength to prevent it returning.
