Port Melbourne · For anyone who's started over

Proper coaching shouldn't be locked behind PT prices.

You get a program, your numbers, and a coach watching the set. Not a room full of people training alone next to each other.

No one is invisible here.
Still coached. Every rep.

Sound familiar?

Most of our members said yes to at least three of these

01

You've joined gyms before. Nobody noticed when you stopped showing up.

02

Your energy isn't what it was, and it's starting to show at work and at home.

03

You know what to do in the gym. You just can't make it stick on your own.

04

You don't have hours to spare. You need training that respects your time.

How we help

Training, nutrition, and the people you train with. That's the whole thing

An FXM group class in session, members working through squats in the racks on the gym floor Three or four sessions a week is plenty.

Training

Small groups, programmed properly. A coach runs the session and corrects you while you're doing it, not afterwards.

Grilled lamb chops with broccolini and a protein-forward side on a plate, a real FXM meal Simple habits. Done consistently. Over time.

Nutrition

Your own targets, worked out from a real Evolt 360 scan. Then habits you can hold down on a busy week.

Community

The same faces every week. You'll get to know them, and they'll ask where you were.

Who runs the floor

The owner takes your first session

Melvin owns FXM and coaches in it. Not from an office, not on a schedule you'll never see. He runs your first session himself, does your Evolt scan, and sets your first targets. After that you'll see him on the floor most weeks, because that's the job.

He studied classical guitar in Los Angeles, solo recitals and quartets, and never once planned on the gym industry. He started coaching in 2014, then spent years helping grow a gym chain past 15 locations and writing the manuals that trained their coaches. He was already part owner of FXM when he decided to take it on himself.

He took it on because he'd had enough of an industry that leaves people with nothing that lasts, and a feed full of people teaching the wrong things to make a dollar. So the conversations here are honest ones. If your goal is going to take real sacrifice, he'll say so, and he'll tell you you're capable of it. Meet him halfway and stay consistent, and this is the right environment for you.

What makes FXM different

Not a big-box gym, not a PT studio. The bit in between

What a great place! Personal training is so expensive and yet here you get that personal attention, care, and growth for the best price. My body is changing and it is showing. Really proud and content

Anna Dalaveris
★★★★★

Ran by absolute legends who care about every single person. Honestly the community is such a warm safe place. Best place to train by far

Ben Wright
★★★★★

The coaches work on your form and make sure you are consistent in your wellness journey. They also have a sauna for recovery... If you are looking for a supportive, community-driven, no-ego environment, FXM should be your choice.

Your first step

Here's how you start

  1. Step 01

    Start the First 21

    21 days with an end date. This is the way in, and it's built around you actually starting.

  2. Step 02

    Day one, one-on-one

    An Evolt 360 scan sets your numbers, your coach maps the plan, and checks in with you daily.

  3. Step 03

    Become a member

    $65 a week. Unlimited coached small group sessions, as often as your week allows.

  4. Step 04

    Keep going

    Your targets get reviewed as you go, so the plan keeps matching the person doing it.

Start with the First 21

Twenty-one days to find out whether this actually works for you. Day one is one-on-one, your targets come off a real body scan, and your coach checks in while the habit forms.

Questions

What people ask before they start

No. Most members arrived with an on-and-off gym history. Your first session is one-on-one with a coach, and we build from where you are, not where you used to be.

Capped at 12. Most sessions run between 6 and 12 people. That ceiling is the point. It is small enough that your coach can watch your form and know how you're tracking.

Yes, every single one. A coach runs the session and corrects you as you go. You're never handed a workout and left to it.

Most members land on 3 to 4. We'll work out what fits your week on your first call.

No. You get your own targets and a few habits that hold up on a busy week. No meal plans you'll quit by Thursday.

Membership is $65 a week. That's unlimited coached sessions, no long-term lock-in contract.

Book a free 15-minute call, or send us a message. Either way we'll sort you out from there.
