Personal Training Northcote
Personal Training Northcote
Advanced Health Preston offers clinically informed personal training for Northcote residents who want individual programming, progressive strength work and guidance that accounts for injury history or movement limitations.
Getting here from Northcote
From Northcote, head north on High Street to Bell Street, then right onto Plenty Road toward Preston — about 6 minutes by car. Free on-site parking is available at the clinic at 4/107 Plenty Road, Preston 3072. By public transport, tram route 86 runs from Northcote; connect at Bell Street for routes into Preston. Personal training sessions take place at Snap Fitness Preston, a full-facility gym around the corner from the clinic — Andrew will advise on location when you book.
How Andrew’s training approach differs
The Northcote demographic leans toward people who are health-aware and have usually tried multiple approaches. If you’re reading this, you’ve probably already been through standard gym memberships, maybe some group fitness classes, and may now want a more individual approach. Andrew’s approach is different in two ways: the assessment is clinical (not a fitness questionnaire), and the programming is genuinely individualised based on what that assessment finds.
As a practising chiropractor, Andrew assesses movement quality, joint restriction, and muscle function as part of what he does every working day. When you come in for a personal training consultation, he’s not just asking about your goals — he’s assessing your hip extension, your thoracic rotation, your shoulder mechanics. He programmes around what he finds, not around a generic template.
What training with Andrew involves
Training takes place at Snap Fitness Preston — a well-equipped commercial gym with free weights, barbells, cables, and cardio equipment. The clinic is around the corner for any chiropractic assessment or treatment needed alongside training.
- Initial consultation: Movement screen, strength assessment, goal setting. Andrew identifies structural and injury-related factors before writing any programme.
- Supervised sessions: All sessions supervised with real-time technique coaching and load management.
- Individual programme: Built specifically for your goals, history, and physical starting point — not adapted from a generic template.
- 6-week reviews: Formal programme update every 4–6 weeks. If you’ve stopped progressing, Andrew diagnoses why and changes the approach.
Suitable for
- Northcote residents with long-standing back, hip, knee, or shoulder pain who want to build strength without making it worse
- Post-injury patients who’ve completed clinical treatment and need supervised strength rehabilitation
- Adults in their 40s–60s looking to build or maintain physical capacity with clinical oversight
- Active people who’ve had a previous injury that derailed their training and want structured re-entry into exercise
- NDIS participants seeking allied health–supervised personal training

How far is it from Northcote to Advanced Health Preston?
About 6 minutes by car heading north on High Street to Plenty Road. We’re at 4/107 Plenty Road, Preston 3072, with free on-site parking. Training itself takes place at Snap Fitness Preston, a short walk from the clinic.
What if I have an existing injury?
Andrew specialises in this situation. As a chiropractor, he can assess and treat the injury directly at the clinic, then design your training programme around it. You don’t have to choose between getting treatment and getting fit — Andrew coordinates both sides of your care.
What kind of results should I expect?
That depends on your goals, starting point, and consistency. What you can expect is that the programme will be appropriate for your body, your technique will be coached properly, and your load will be progressed systematically. Progress varies with your starting point, goals, health and consistency, and is reviewed throughout supervised training.
