New to Strength Training? Here’s Where to Start
If you’re just starting your fitness journey, strength training can feel overwhelming. Barbells, machines, tempo, reps—there’s a lot to take in. But here’s the good news: the basics are simple, and the results are life-changing.
At 4D Gym in South Melbourne, we specialise in coaching beginners from the ground up—helping you build confidence, skill, and strength that lasts.
Why Strength Training Is the Best Place to Start
Unlike high-intensity cardio or random bootcamps, resistance training gives you control over your progress. It lets you:
Build lean muscle and tone your body
Boost your metabolism and burn fat sustainably
Improve posture and reduce injury risk
Feel stronger, more capable, and more confident
That’s why our private personal training programs start with a deep dive into your goals, experience, and biomechanics. From there, we design a beginner-friendly strength plan you can actually enjoy.
What Does a Beginner Strength Plan Look Like?
In your early weeks at the gym, your focus should be on mastering form, activating the right muscles, and progressing slowly. A great beginner program should include:
2–3 full-body workouts per week
Foundational movement patterns (squats, hinges, pushes, pulls)
Moderate weights with perfect technique
Individualised progression—not cookie-cutter plans
You’ll learn all of this from our expert personal trainers, who walk you through each session with one-on-one attention.
Group Support or Solo Focus?
Both can work. If you thrive on energy and connection, our group personal training gives you structure, variety, and support while still receiving individualised programming.
Prefer a private setting? One-on-one coaching gives you deep personalisation, full focus, and a quiet environment to build skills without distraction.
Build Strength and Confidence—From Day One
Strength training isn’t just for athletes or gym veterans—it’s for anyone ready to take control of their health. Our clients range from complete beginners to long-time lifters, but all start with one step: showing up.
