Group training at Fujiwhara is designed to feel more personal than a standard class.

The aim is to create a supportive training environment where you can work hard, learn how to move well and enjoy exercising with others.
Group Personal Training with Emma Laitala
With more than 20 years of experience in personal training, movement and wellness coaching, Emma Laitala has developed a deeper understanding of how people move, train and change through different stages of life. Her approach is influenced by functional movement and the Weck Method, with a focus on building strength, improving mobility and helping people feel more confident in what their bodies can do.
This experience is particularly valuable when working with women in midlife, as training needs can change over time. Through Group Personal Training, Emma looks beyond short-term fitness goals, helping clients develop the strength, movement skills and confidence that can support their physical capability for years to come. In a group setting, she brings that same considered approach to the people training with her, while keeping the sessions enjoyable and connected.
Small Group Training with Personal Attention
A group setting doesn’t mean everyone has to do exactly the same thing. Groups are kept small so there is time to observe how each person moves, provide feedback, and make adjustments where needed.
Her experience in functional movement is particularly valuable during small group training, allowing her to look at more than whether you’re simply completing an exercise. She can consider your control, coordination, mobility, and current ability when deciding how an exercise should be performed or modified.
This creates a more personal experience than a large group fitness class, while still giving you the social side of training with other people.
What Can You Work On in Our Small Group Training?
Group personal training can combine different types of exercise, with Emma adjusting movements and intensity to suit the people taking part.
Strength Training
Group strength training can include resistance exercises using equipment suited to your ability and goals. The focus is on movement quality and control rather than simply lifting heavier.
Cardio
Improve fitness and stamina through cardio exercises that can be adjusted to suit your current fitness level and training capacity.
HIIT
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) can be included for those who enjoy a more challenging workout and want to improve their cardiovascular fitness. Sessions use short bursts of higher-intensity exercise followed by brief recovery periods, creating a varied workout that can be adjusted to suit the group. Work periods, recovery time, and exercise intensity can be modified based on each person’s fitness level and training capacity.
Professional Coaching
With more than 20 years of experience in personal training, movement and wellness coaching, Emma guides each session while paying attention to how people perform the exercises. She can explain movements, provide feedback and make adjustments when needed.
Progress Tracking
Group fitness classes can still give you a sense of individual progress. Progress can be tracked across strength, fitness, movement, and overall training capacity as you continue.

Why Train in a Small Group?
One of the biggest advantages of small group personal training is the balance between individual guidance and shared motivation. You can train with people you know, encourage each other, and still receive coaching from Emma throughout the session.
Training with friends or family can also make it easier to stay consistent. Having someone expecting you to turn up can provide a little extra motivation on days when exercising isn’t high on your list.
The private home studio in Point Cook also creates a more focused setting than a busy commercial gym. You’re not trying to follow a class across a large room or compete for equipment. The smaller environment allows Emma to spend time watching, explaining, and adjusting movements as you train.
Who Is Group Personal Training Suitable For?
Small group training can suit people with different goals and levels of experience. You might prefer this format if you:
- Want to train with a friend, partner, or family member
- Enjoy exercising with other people
- Prefer more guidance than a large group fitness class can provide
- Want to build strength and fitness together
- Are looking for a more personal alternative to a commercial gym
- Want training that includes functional movement and mobility
- Find that having others around helps you stay consistent
You don’t need to be at the same fitness level as everyone else. Emma can adjust exercises and intensity to help each person participate at an appropriate level.

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!
