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 fitness tests and measures we use every few months so we can record your progress and vary the sessions so no matter what your fitness level you are always improving.

A. Every session is different, and we have a large range of fitness equipment to use. We do 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, Queens Park and in various parks and running tracks of Essendon and Moonee Ponds.

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. One of the biggest differences our boot camps provide is a real personalised experience. It is a personal training session but in a larger group setting. We are not just about getting our clients tired by providing a workout. We help all our members establish realistic goals with follow-up visits from our trainers to track your progress.

Here are just a few of the benefits all our boot camp members have when they join the MV Fitness Family.

• You’ll stay motivated with our unique training programs.
• You’ll feel welcome, and become part of the MV Family as soon as you start training.
• You’ll fit us into your life. With over 17 weekly sessions available are boot camp times are very flexible.
• You’ll enjoy our workouts. All our classes are filled with variety and no two sessions are the same.
• You’ll get lasting results.

When you start training with our personal training team, we make sure everyone has a goal and we show you the ways to reach that goal. With food ideas, home workout plans and health and fitness education, we are more than a typical gym or boot camp provider.

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 is 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. Moonee Valley Health and Fitness’s boot camp is a long term fitness solution rather than just a 4-6 week course.

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.
• Motivation from our personal trainers and other group members.
• A flexible timetable…

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

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. All new boot camp members can come to as many classes as you like in your first month, and there are over 80+ available sessions you can attend.

After your first month of unlimited training, you can then decide if our boot camp program is right for you and continue your unlimited training option, or choose one of our month to month training options.

After your first month of training you can then choose from our 2 packages…
Week-To-Week (No long term commitment) – Choose your billing either weekly, fortnightly or monthly and give one weeks notice if you wish to stop.
or…

3–6–12 Month Body Transformation Programs – Unlimited sessions a week (over 23 to choose from) access to our MV Fitness Nutritionist and reduced Personal Training rates.

First Month Unlimited Boot Camp – $99 SIGN UP HERE

A. Yes – our programs are billed every 30 days via direct debit or CC. You can also choose to be billed weekly or fortnightly if you prefer as well.

A. Unfortunately not. We also don’t carry / hold cash on the premise at our studio as a security measure.

Our job is to get you in the best shape possible, which is much easier if you commit to at least a 4 week training program.
If for any reason direct debit doesn’t suit you, let us know and we can arrange a direct bank transfer (minimum of 3 months in advance).

A. Yes – we do offer group discounts on our boot camps if you have 3 or more people that would like to join together.

Alternatively we do offer private group personal training if you’d like to have your own private personal training and trainer to work exclusively with your group and can book your sessions based on your own groups schedule.

A. Yes we do offer student rates. After you have completed our 1 month introductory offer of $99 Unlimited Boot Camp just email the office a copy or photos of your student card and we’ll set you up with our student rates.

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

We also have an exercise physiologist as one of our coaches who specialises in exercise rehabilitation.

Our Exercise Physiologist is available to help diagnose and 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.

Having said that, this service is our general group fitness program so 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.

It is also advised to then book a 1 on 1 appointment with our Exercise Physiology or Physiotherapy team to first check that you are suitable for group classes.

A. Just 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 studio. Many of our members use the facilities at their place of work, or when they get home. 

A. Just send an email to info@mvfit.com.au at least 7 days before your next debit date. If for any reason the 3-6-12 month contract is cancelled before its expiration date, an early exit fee may be charged.

A. If you are going to be away and need to suspend your boot camp membership you can. If you are going to be away for over 2 weeks all you need to do is let us know before you go and we’ll freeze your membership while your away.

A. Don't miss two in a row! Two in a row is the beginning of a bad habit 😉

The boot camp is a package so there are no refunds or fees for missed classes.

We encourage all members come to as many sessions a week as you can, but please don't take up spots in classes and then not show-up.

Ideally we ask for at least 1 hours notice if you would like to change your class, and so the trainer isn't waiting for you to arrive before starting.

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.

A. 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.

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

A. We make aim to keep our camps relatively small with groups from anywhere between 3-15 people and an average of 8-10 people per session. By keeping the group sizes smaller this keeps a great client to trainer ratio so you receive a far more personalised session.

If classes get too busy, we add more sessions to the schedule to try and keep the class sizes relatively small and remain as small personal training classes.

A. We have had some amazing results with our boot camp members. If you follow our nutrition plan carefully and are able to attend at least 3 boot camp 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 boot camp 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!

Check out some of our members success stories HERE.

A. Yes – besides all our new members having access to our $99 unlimited boot camp sessions for the first month (over 80 sessions to attend) if for any reason you would like to stop training within the first two weeks we will give you a full refund.

We have the best boot camp sessions in Melbourne and we guarantee you’ll love it, but if you are dissatisfied with Moonee Valley Health and Fitness boot camps we will refund your $99 no questions asked, no hard feelings. (It’s just our way of showing you why we’re Melbourne’s #1 Boot Camp).
