Hi my name is Adam Westerlaken and I am a mobile personal trainer in Melbourne's west.
I became a personal trainer a little later in life, at 36, after realising just how much staying strong and healthy affects every part of your world. I’d always loved fitness, but as I got older, I really felt the difference it made — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. That’s what pushed me to help others experience the same shift.
For me, training is all about connection. I love getting to know people, understanding their goals, and walking alongside them as they start to feel stronger, more confident, and more capable. Everyone’s journey looks a little different, but the transformation is always incredible. You see motivation grow, attitudes shift, and people start to genuinely enjoy moving their bodies. It stops being something they “have to do” and becomes something they want to do.
Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of clients — from pre‑ and post‑natal mums to young athletes, from people rehabbing injuries to those preparing for police or Air Force fitness exams. I’ve also spent the past few years working closely with NDIS clients, which has shown me just how powerful training can be for mental health and overall wellbeing.
One of the things I’m most proud of is the relationships I’ve built. Some clients have been with me for years, and I’ve been lucky enough to be invited to their weddings, baby showers, and engagement parties. What starts as a professional relationship often grows into something much more meaningful.

Fitness Tips From Adam
Favourite movie or TV series
Anything and everything with Morgan Freeman, he is a brilliant actor.
Favourite piece of equipment
Favourite piece of equipment would have to be the resistance bands and cable machines as they are so versatile and can easily be adjusted to suit each individual person and session.
Favourite exercise
The deadlift as it incorporates many different muscle groups and while being somewhat of a complex exercise to can be varied and adjusted to suit and workout whether it be losing weight or building size and strength
The deadlift is also great for activating muscles that haven’t been used in a while and when performed properly in a safe manner.
My number one health or fitness tip
The best tip I can give is to set yourself small realistic goals. Know in the back of your head what it you want to achieve long term and set small targets to get there. That way if you don’t hit them it’s just a minor step backwards and easier to stay motivated.
WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
Adam is a brilliant trainer.
He knows just the right amount of encouragement and challenge to give you. I have been working with Adam for about 18 months now. Initially, it was in preparation for my wedding which I felt fantastic for. Since then, I have been working with Adam consistently, always within the limits of whatever is going on including a fractured ankle.
I have since recovered and am now building on my previous work and celebrating a much stronger core. I know this because my back has never been this stable. Most importantly I can confidently work in my garden, which I love to do.
Adam is also just a lovely person who really cares about your personal training goals and reaching them.
I highly recommend Adam.
-Jacqueline S
After 3 decades of leading a sedentary lifestyle, I booked a session with Adam Westerlaken in March 2020 and have not looked back. With COVID19 lockdowns we have moved to online sessions but Adam has achieved this with no reduction in the service level and outcomes.
Adam is gregarious and has a great knack of making the sessions fun, challenging and interesting - the hour goes by so quick. After 6 months with Adam, I am feeling much fitter, stronger, healthier and positive. I really look forward to our sessions.
Adam is very knowledgeable and readily shares his insights - he is very attentive to ensure my technique is correct so as to avoid injury to my aging body but does it with much encouragement and grace. Adam has listened to my goals and adapts the sessions to fit in with my needs.
I have no hesitation to recommend Adam as a PT.
As a medical specialist , so when it came to looking for someone to
rehabilitate some age-related pain and stiffness, I was wary since I’ve seen
too many situations where there was more harm than good.Like any time-poor single parent to young kids, I’m limited in how often I can attend a gym, having taken out far too many memberships that didn’t get used.
I work with Telehealth as a medium and so I was already comfortable with this being an
effective and persona way of delivering care where resources are limited.Hence I was curious about using Zoom to access personal training classes. Adam’s method is consistently friendly, gentle and yet challenging, using an individualized program of techniques which I can see is based on having seriously listened to my initial concerns about causing further pain. The sessions have already been effective as I’m now more mindful of unconscious bad habits and the way I hold myself, such that I now find myself self-correcting as I go about my day. It’s been two months of sessions
and I’m now happily pain-free with a greater range movement.From the same approach, Adam’s program has not only provided treatment for my
current condition, but also the core foundation for prevention into the future!
