Training one-on-one gives you the opportunity to work at your own pace, with attention to how you move and what you want to achieve. At Fujiwhara Personal Training, sessions are held privately in Emma Laitala’s home studio, creating a more personal setting than a typical commercial gym.
Fujiwhara Personal Training provides 1-on-1 personal training in Point Cook, with each session shaped around your individual needs rather than a standard workout. The focus is not simply on completing exercises or reaching a short-term fitness goal. It is about helping you understand your body, become stronger and more capable, and feel confident continuing to move well as your needs change.
Meet Your 1-on-1 Personal Trainer | Emma Laitala
With more than 20 years of experience in personal training, movement and wellness coaching, Emma Laitala brings a personal approach to every session. Her background in martial arts and movement has shaped the way she works with clients, focusing on strength, mobility, and helping people feel more confident in what their bodies can do.
Emma doesn’t believe personal training should follow the same formula for everyone. She takes time to understand your goals, experience and how you move, then draws on functional movement, strength training and the Weck Method to shape sessions around you.
Training takes place in her private home studio in Point Cook, providing a comfortable and focused alternative to a busy commercial gym. With a range of training equipment available, sessions can be adapted as you progress. The goal is to help you become stronger, move better, and build physical confidence that carries into everyday life.
What Does Personalised Training Look Like?
No two bodies move in the same way, and your training shouldn’t be treated like a standard template.
During your one-on-one personal training sessions, Emma can observe how you move, adjust exercises, and change the session according to your ability and progress. Her experience allows her to look beyond simply completing an exercise and consider how you control your body, where you may need more mobility or stability, and how different movements can support your goals.
What Can You Work Towards With 1-on-1 Training?
Rather than focusing only on how you look, 1-on-1 training can help you develop practical physical qualities that support both training and everyday life.
Strength
Build strength progressively with exercises suited to your current ability and goals. The focus is on how you control and use your body, not simply how much weight you can lift.
Mobility & Movement
Look at how your body moves as a whole, with exercises that develop mobility, coordination, control, and body awareness rather than simply adding stretches to your routine.
Confidence
As you become more familiar with your body’s abilities, training can help you feel more confident with movement, strength, and physical challenges.
Everyday Capability
Strength and movement have a purpose beyond the studio. Training can support everyday activities such as lifting, carrying, reaching, getting up and down, and staying active.
Fitness & Endurance
Sessions can incorporate conditioning work to develop fitness and stamina. Exercise selection and intensity can be adjusted to your current level and progressed as your capacity improves.
Strength Through Midlife & Beyond
For women in midlife, training can support strength, mobility and confidence as your body and priorities change. The approach is centred on helping you remain active and physically capable through different stages of life.
Build Strength That Has a Purpose
Getting stronger isn’t just about lifting heavier. Emma combines strength and resistance training with functional movement to help you move, feel and function better in everyday life, adapting exercises and equipment to your ability and goals.
Your sessions may include:
- Strength and resistance exercises to build physical strength progressively
- Functional movements that challenge coordination, control and whole-body movement
- Mobility work to help you move with greater freedom and confidence
- Dumbbells, kettlebells, cables and landmine exercises to provide different ways to develop strength
- Weck Method equipment and techniques to explore movement, coordination and body awareness
- Exercises adjusted to your ability so you’re challenged without being pushed for the sake of intensity
The aim is steady, meaningful progress. Emma focuses on building strength that supports your training, everyday movement, and staying capable as you get older.

Posted on Google Valeriya Zakharova Emma is an amazing trainer and person, I’m glad I have made the decision to work with her 1:1. Emma has an individualised program for me to get from beginner to someone who is fit, toned and resilient. She is very knowledgeable, and what I like most is that the entire body gets a workout with every exercise. Thank you Emma!Posted on Google Andy Tran Both my wife and I have been working with Emma for just over a month now and we can already see positive changes from Emma’s unique approach to strength and fitness training. We really enjoy the private classes where each session is very focus on our goals. Emma makes us feel very comfortable and we really look forward to every session. Look no further! Emma’s the one! Just read the other reviews…Posted on Google Vignesh S I came to Fujiwhara to work with a personal trainer who could help me understand the fundamentals of strength training with an athletic focus, and to overcome lingering injuries. My goal has always been to stay fit for my family and the multiple sports I play, while also reducing the risk of injury. That hasn’t changed. Training with Emma has been a game-changer—her knowledge and ability to teach the basics has kept me on track with my goals and helped me make real progress. The gym itself has a fantastic vibe and all the equipment I need for my training. Since starting, I’ve learned so much—from proper weight loading for strength training to being introduced to the world of athletic movement like coiling and kettlebell fundamentals. One of the most memorable moments was when my chronic hip and ankle pain disappeared within two weeks of training—just goes to show how powerful the right guidance can be. I’ve already recommended Fujiwhara to many friends. Emma’s approach is fundamental, effective, and always tailored to our personal goals!!!Posted on Google Lisa Strong I started training in March this year to improve my core strength and overall fitness. Emma was quick to work out my strengths and areas for improvement, and tailored a personalised program to help me reach my goals. My sessions are always enjoyable, lots of variety to keep it interesting, challenging my fitness, strength and balance. It has been great to move my body again and try new things. With a history of knee pain, Emma has been great at tailoring exercises to improve my strength in this area and I've noticed less pain & more stability, plus an improvement in my overall health. Emma is passionate, friendly, professional and supportive and I would highly recommend Fujiwhara to anyone.Posted on Google Diane Bloom I saw a facebook post over 5 years ago and it was at a time when I knew I needed something for strength training to complement my fitness in my 50's. When I looked at the training it was simple but effective and not the usual gym grind. It was in a suburb on my way to work which was perfect, and then zoom came about which is so convenient to train at home. I started wanting to be stronger for the paddling, biking,golfing and other sports I do to keep fit and enjoy. I now focus more on the understanding that this is going to be a lifelong compliment to staying strong as I grow older gracefully. The program is individually catered and changes every training session but working on the same group of muscles that give me strength. The training is so convenient at home and Emma supports me with whatever my body is going through to keep the training going at my pace. I have learnt that core, back, glutes and leg strength is so important as I age. The most recent moment was returning from a 7 week break whilst overseas skiing. I thought backcountry and cross country skiing would keep me strong whilst not training. I was so wrong! Next time I'll zoom in on holidays! After my first session back I could feel every single muscle aching in the best way possible. It gave me the best reminder that strength training is a way of life. Highly recommend Emma and the training, especially from my own personal experience that I have benefited from.Posted on Google Noni Morrissey I highly recommend Fujiwhara. This one of the best things I have done in years. Working with Emma has saved my knees, and everything else. The program is flexible, both in situ and online and Emma runs the show seamlessly keeping an eye on each exercise and performance. It is varied, interesting, at times incredibly difficult and always, always worthwhile. The best exercise you do is the exercise you do. I have not stopped recommending Fujiwhara to everyone I know. Fujiwhara is excellent particularly if you have any injuries, such as rotator cuff tears, back problems, all the niggles associated with growing old, or just doing too much when young. I cannot recommend Fujiwhara enough. A friend had been training with Emma from Fujiwhara and I had noticed a great improvement in her health and fitness. I was entering my 60s and becoming weaker and more unfit and I dislike gyms so was at a loss as to what to do. Fujiwhara held classes in the local park and online which was perfect for me. What I hadn't realised was just how life changing it would be. My health and strength has greatly improved over the many years I have attended Emma's classes, and continues to improve. I thought my main goal was to lose weight but what I discovered was increased strength in all my body. I had several injuries and had to be careful not to reinjure myself and Emma set up excellent exercises targeted at those areas of weakness. My goal now is to always exercise, lift weights and use bands and to never lose fitness. I love being able to train from home, I love the community feel of the classes and the great variation of exercises to target different areas of weakness. Training with Jujiwara I have learnt that even as an older woman I can become strong, lift weights, move with greater flexibility, improve balance - I have not fallen in 4 years thanks to Emma's balancing exercises. A great moment was when I could lift our very large cat and basket with ease into the car. If you could see my cat you would understand!Posted on Google Hala I had an amazing experience training with Emma, she is incredibly knowledgeable, motivating, and attentive. I have started training mid-February and I can already notice a huge difference in my strength. From the very first session, Emma took the time to understand my needs and tailored workouts. What I appreciated most was her constant encouragement, she always believed I could do more. I haven’t been training for years and in just a couple of months , I’ve seen significant improvements. Emma genuinely cares about their clients' progress. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trainer!Posted on Google Vinisha Krishnan When I first joined Fujiwhara more than a year back, I wanted to improve my overall strength and gain more energy throughout the day. As I started working with Emma, I realized that my goals expanded to improving my flexibility and focusing on functional fitness. What I love most about training with Emma is the variety and personalized approach. Emma always tailors the workouts to fit my progress and keeps me challenged while ensuring I'm always working safely. I remember the feeling of accomplishment and how Emma pushed me to believe in myself and go beyond what I thought I was capable of. I would definitely recommend Emma (Fujiwhara) to anyone looking for a supportive, motivating environment. It’s been a great experience, and I’ve improved so much more than I initially expected. Thank you Emma and can’t wait to smash more goals.Posted on Google Dishant Arora I came to Fujiwhara because of back pain and wanted to improve my strength and mobility. Training with Emma has not only helped relieve my pain but also improved my posture and movement. My focus has now shifted from back pain relief to building strength overall. What I love most is Emma’s focus on technique and the way she incorporates exercises that are different from traditional workouts. The variety keeps training engaging and effective. I’d highly recommend training with Emma, to anyone looking to recover from pain, build strength, and move better.Posted on Google Hazel Lim-Lam I've been training with Emma since 2013, and I can't recommend her enough! When I started, I was a complete beginner, but with her patience and clear instructions, I gained the confidence to exercise safely and effectively. In 2023, my 15-year-old son joined me for personal training. I wanted him to learn proper techniques from a professional to avoid injuries and bad habits, and I trusted Emma completely. Today, he still trains with her and also goes to the gym on his own, and I feel reassured knowing he has the right foundation. Recently, my 13-year-old daughter joined us. She was hesitant at first, but Emma’s encouragement and support made all the difference. Now, she’s gradually shifting her mindset and even looks forward to her sessions! Emma is an incredible trainer who genuinely cares about her clients. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, she’s the best person to guide you on your fitness journey!
