Personal Training Pascoe Vale — Andrew Cunningham at Advanced Health Preston
Advanced Health Preston is 12 minutes from Pascoe Vale, offering 1:1 personal training with Andrew Cunningham — AHPRA-registered chiropractor and personal trainer with 15+ years of combined clinical and training experience. Andrew’s personal training is for people who want results from an expert who understands how the body actually works: not a gym floor trainer counting reps, but a clinician who programmes with your injury history, structural limits, and long-term capacity in mind.

What personal training with Andrew involves
Andrew’s personal training sessions are built around your specific goals, fitness baseline, and — critically — any injury or structural consideration that needs to be programmed around rather than ignored. As a chiropractor, Andrew understands movement dysfunction at a clinical level: he sees what happens when training loads are applied to a spine with a disc bulge, a hip with early degeneration, or a shoulder with rotator cuff involvement. He programmes with that knowledge in the room.
Sessions are conducted at Snap Fitness Preston — a fully equipped gym with free weights, barbells, cable systems, and cardio equipment, located around the corner from the Advanced Health clinic. The combination of clinical assessment at the clinic and training at Snap Fitness creates a genuinely integrated programme that most personal trainers simply can’t offer.
- Initial session: Movement assessment and goal-setting. Andrew identifies your current movement quality, strength baseline, and any areas requiring modification. He programmes your training block around these findings.
- Ongoing sessions: Progressive strength and conditioning work structured around your goals. All sessions supervised, all technique corrected in real time.
- Programme review: Every 4–6 weeks Andrew reviews your progress and updates the programme. Training should always be progressing — if it’s not, the programme needs to change.
Who Andrew’s personal training is for
- People who’ve been told they should “do strength work” for their back or knees but don’t know where to start safely
- Patients who’ve completed chiropractic or physio care and want to transition into structured exercise to prevent recurrence
- Adults who want to get stronger and fitter but have an injury or health condition that makes standard gym programming inappropriate
- People in their 40s–60s who want to maintain or build physical capacity with an expert who understands what’s actually happening in an ageing body
- Pascoe Vale residents who’ve tried gym memberships without the supervision and accountability to progress consistently
If your goal is specifically chronic back pain rehab through strength training, see Functional Training for Back Pain — a separate programme Andrew runs specifically for that population.

FAQs for Pascoe Vale personal training
How far is Advanced Health from Pascoe Vale?
About 12 minutes east via Bell Street to Plenty Road. We’re at 4/107 Plenty Road, Preston 3072 — free on-site parking. Personal training takes place at Snap Fitness Preston, which is around the corner.
What makes Andrew’s personal training different from a gym PT?
Andrew is an AHPRA-registered chiropractor with 12+ years of clinical experience and 15+ years of personal training. He assesses the structural and movement foundations before programming — and can address injuries or dysfunction directly as part of the combined service. A standard gym trainer cannot do this.
Do I need to be fit to start?
No. Andrew programmes from your current baseline, wherever that is. Many clients start with very limited fitness or strength capacity and build progressively. The clinical background means Andrew is particularly skilled at starting conservatively and progressing appropriately — not pushing too hard too soon.
Can I do both personal training and chiropractic with Andrew?
Yes — and this combination is often the most powerful approach for people with injury histories. The chiropractic sessions address joint restriction and acute pain; the training sessions build the strength and movement capacity that prevents recurrence. Andrew coordinates both sides of your care.
