A. Of course you can, that’s why we are here the first place… Everyone has to start somewhere and it’s never too late to start. A lot of our members are in the same position as yourself, and we are all here to work with each other. It’s our job to get you in the best shape possible, as quickly and as safely as possible.
In each session you’ll be pushed outside of your comfort zone but never too far. All our trainers are extremely qualified with years of experience and know how to keep you motivated and injury free.

We have a few basic fitness tests we perform every few months so we can record your progress and vary the sessions so no matter what your fitness level currently is you are always improving.

A. Our workouts are for all fitness levels! With dumbbells weighing from 1kg to 40kg and an entire personal training studio to train in, our boot camp and group pt classes are designed to challenge everyone at whatever fitness level they are.

The main objective through every workout is to challenge yourself. It’s not a competition, all our boot campers are part of the MV Fitness family, and everyone supports each other.

Remember we all have to start from somewhere.

A. Each of our boot camp classes run for 45 minutes and no matter what type of session it is (running, strength, indoor boot camp, outdoor boot camp) they always start and finish at the Moonee Valley Health and Fitness Studio – 378 Mount Alexander Road, Travancore VIC.

We also do add extra ‘one-off’ 30 and 45 minute sessions every few months when we add extra fitness testing classes that are open to all members to attend.

A. We have sessions running every day throughout the week (except Sundays).

Moonee Valley Health and Fitness’s group training is a long term fitness solution rather than just a 4-6 week course or challenge. 

You will make fantastic improvement on your health and fitness in less than 4-6 weeks, but your health should be a long term investment in yourself.

We are here to help you make exercise part of your daily life.
It’s like a gym membership but with…

- Access to some of the best trainers and coaches in Melbourne.
- No pushy sales people.
- No queues for equipment.
- Each session carefully planned and prepared for you.
- Better variety and a whole range of different exercises.
- More accountability.

…plus it’s heaps more fun, than a boring gym or basic boot camp with inexperienced trainers that are trying to .

A. UNLIMITED ACCESS. All our MVFit members can come to as many classes as you like, and there are over 80 available sessions you can attend.

All our on-going memberships give you the ability to attend as many sessions as you like.

A. We have our Group Personal Training be similar to our 1 on 1 Personal Training, so to do that we keep our group sizes small with an average of 4-10 people.

By keeping the group sizes smaller this keeps a great client to trainer ratio so you receive a far more personalised session and not get lost in the crowd.

When our group classes start to become busier we adjust by adding more class times to help keep everyone in a comfortable Covid-Safe social distanced environment.

A. Our team of trainers are not only personal trainers but also university qualified fitness professionals who know how to create rehabilitation programs for our clients.

We also have an exercise physiologist as one of our coaches who specialises in exercise rehabilitation. Our Exercise Physiologist is available to help treat your current and past injuries if there are any concerns that you are unable to fully participate in the classes.

All our classes can also be modified to suit your current fitness level and abilities.

If you’re concerned with any type of health issue, it is always best to first consult your doctor before undertaking any type of fitness regimen.

A. Bring a bottle of water, a towel and wear some light loose comfortable clothing for you to exercise in and running shoes. Our sessions are run in a fully equipped personal training studio, so all the equipment and everything else you need is supplied by us.

A. Although we do have toilets and two areas for all our clients to store their belongings we unfortunately do not have showers at our gym.

A. We do run a portion of our boot camp classes outdoors, at our indoor/outdoor personal training studio.

During summer we add extra training locations and sessions at near parks and reserves in Essendon, Moonee Ponds and other locations throughout the City of Moonee Valley, but the majority of sessions are held at the Moonee Valley Health and Fitness Studio.

For any of the outdoor group classes, we still always have all members meet at the gym first.

The bonus of having our boot camp at our indoor/outdoor studio is that during the winter months when it is cold and wet we can do all the training indoors at the studio.

When we are in the warmer months we still start all our sessions at the studio in Ascot Vale (378 Mount Alexander Rd, Travancore VIC) but then do sometimes head down to Travancore Park or Arthur Caldwell Park (Cnr Cashmere St & Mangalore St) or over to Victory Park in Ascot Vale.

No session is ever the same, so you never know what to expect, other than an amazing workout.

A. We have had some amazing results with our MVFit members.

If you follow our nutrition plan carefully and are able to attend at least 3 group training classes per week you can expect to lose on average about 1kg of body fat every week.

Not only will you drop body fat but your muscles will be toned and stronger and you’ll see significant improvements in your fitness and energy levels.

Our team at Moonee Valley Health and Fitness will do everything they can to help you achieve the goals you are aiming for. Our group environment is a great way to train, but if you have any specific health and fitness goals, we also offer private personal training sessions at a reduced rate to our group training members.

In those sessions we can help you create a specialised program which will help complement your boot camp results, and improve your results even more!

A. Every session is different, and we have a large range of fitness equipment to use. They are a combination of resistance training (using kettle bells, dumb bells, battle ropes, sleds, medicine balls, Olympic rings, body weight) and high intensity cardio (bike, rower, circuits, sprints, boxing, intervals, hill/stair training) etc.

Having access to a fully equipped Personal Training studio, our boot camp sessions are able to offer more variety than other Melbourne boot camps, with a whole gym full of equipment to use. We also run boxing classes and have running groups that run down at the Maribyrnong River and in Essendon during the warmer months.

All our workouts are designed for weight loss, functional strength and fitness. Every workout is different to keep things fun and keep challenging you as you improve. Every class is made up of a mixture of functional training, strengthening, core stability, cardio conditioning, medicine balls, resistance bands, kettlebells and full body workouts.

A. No – We don’t scream or yell and intimidate people. We are here to coach and motivate you so you can achieve your goals in a fun environment.

Our trainers are university qualified fitness professionals, not ex-military drill sergeants or reality show fitness trainers trying to make a tv show.

Screaming and pushing you until your on your hands and knees throwing up isn’t an effective way to reach your goals (although it does make for good reality tv).

Our 45 minute workouts are based around scientific research on what works in the real world. Our results speak for themselves.

A. Unfortunately no we do not accept cash but you can purchase casual passes through our MVFit App.

We do not carry cash on the premise at our studio as a security measure.

There are no lock in contracts or anything like that, so if you don’t wish to continue just let us know.

A. Although Crossfit is a great program when run by a good trainer, it is aimed at ‘forging elite athletes’.

It does utilise a lot of the same exercises we do in our boot camp, but they also include a lot of highly technical exercises (Olympic lifts) that when performed by everyday people (who are not elite athletes or experienced lifters) and can lead to serious injury.

Olympic lifting will make up a big part of your Crossfit WOD (Workout Of the Day) and most adults don’t make for great Olympic lifters. It’s quite a controversial topic of why Crossfit might not be good for you, but if you are the average adult, looking to get fit and healthy the last thing we want you to do is injure yourself.

No one argues that Crossfit workouts aren’t challenging, of course they are, but the there is a big difference between ‘hard’ and ‘smart’.

We often choose less technical exercises, but create effective programs that achieve better results and keep you injury free.

A. First off the marketing of these franchises definitely is top notch. Marketing with Instagram models, high quality video productions and having celebrity endorsements is an extremely effective selling weapon for some gyms.

At MVFit we keep our group sizes small so our trainers can spend time with each member during the workout.

One size doesn’t fit all. We all have our quirks, issues and different levels so something fast-paced, especially in a class environment means that these quirks get overlooked and leaves you open to injury.

That's not to say you don't get a solid workout at these places, just be wary of anywhere that gives you a generic program or one that isn't varied or progressing each week.

Our university qualified trainer who is running your session also help create the session. It isn't a mass-produced exercise program with your instructor just pressing play on a screen and then everyone follows along.

Your MVFit trainer is in control of the session and can make adjustments to the program for you if you need an exercise modified or changed.
