You train with me
Sydney Bespoke Trainer is my business. I design your program, coach every session and make the adjustments myself.
One-to-one coaching For strength, muscle & body composition.
Thoughtfully programmed and coached directly by Greg Kafalian.
Sydney CBD · 35 Clarence St
One-to-one coaching for strength, hypertrophy and body composition — with programming adjusted around how you move, perform and respond to training.
01 / Method
Your time matters.
Your time matters.
Make it count.
I know training takes time out of a busy day, so I want every session to be worth it. Exercise selection, technique, loading and progression are all chosen with a reason.
1.1
1.2
Exercises earn their place
I choose movements for the return they give you — not to fill time or make a session look complicated.
1.3
Evidence, then judgement
Research guides the plan, but good coaching is more nuanced than following a template. Your reps, technique, recovery and response tell me when to push, adjust or leave something alone.
1.4
Technique matters
I watch how you move and how your form changes under load. Small technical changes can make a big difference.
1.5
Progress without rushing
We add load, reps or volume when you are ready. Progression is earned, not forced.
1.6
Nutrition kept practical
Macro and nutrition guidance supports the training without turning your life into a meal plan.

Greg Kafalian · Head Coach
I started training in my teens and bodybuilding quickly became a major part of my life. Learning how to build muscle and change my own physique sparked the interest that became my career, and I have now spent more than 18 years coaching people with very different goals and levels of experience.
Hypertrophy has been at the centre of how I have trained and coached for almost two decades. Evidence guides how I program, but experience has taught me to watch the person in front of me — how you perform your reps, how your technique changes under load, how you recover and how you respond over time. That tells me when to add weight, change an exercise, adjust volume or simply keep something that is working.
I am also a father of two, so I understand that training has to fit around real work and family commitments. I want the time you spend in the gym to count.
I run Sydney Bespoke Trainer independently. When you hire me, you work with me — I design your program, coach your sessions and make the adjustments. There is no hand-off; I am responsible for the program and the coaching from start to finish, and I take pride in making sure your form and technique are on point.

Greg is truly one of the best. His knowledge of anatomy and functional movement is so intelligent — he could always create a program for me no matter what my goals. I worked with him for 3 years and I miss his training.

04 / Process
What happens
What happens
when you start.
We start by talking. Then I see how you move, build the program, coach it and adjust it as I learn how you respond.
01
Talk first
We go through your goals, training history, schedule, injuries and what you actually want from training.
02
See how you move
I look at key movements and your technique so I can choose exercises that suit you.
03
Build the program
I select the exercises, sets, reps and progression around your goals, experience and available time.
04
Coach the details
We work on execution, effort and consistency. I want every rep to give us useful information.
05
Adjust as you respond
I review what is happening in real time and change the plan when there is a good reason to.
Start with a conversation
No obligation. We talk through what you want to achieve and whether I think I can help.
05 / Pricing
Simple pricing.
You are paying for my time, programming and attention to detail — not access to a generic template.
What I want you to get
“I want every session to be worth the time and money you put into it. That means thoughtful exercise selection, close coaching and changes when they are actually needed.”

Questions
Who is this coaching best suited to?
It is a good fit if you want your training to be thought through rather than improvised — whether you are busy, focused on muscle and physique, or want to stay strong and capable as you age. You do not need to be experienced.
I have an injury or a niggle. Can I still train?
In most cases, yes. Every program starts with a movement and technique assessment, and exercise selection is adjusted around any injuries so you keep progressing safely.
How long are sessions and where do we train?
Sessions are 45 minutes, one-on-one, at 35 Clarence St in Sydney CBD — a short walk from Wynyard station.
How many sessions a week do I need?
That depends on your goal and schedule. Two to three sessions a week suits most clients, and it's one of the first things we work out at your consultation.
Will I always train with Greg?
Yes. Sydney Bespoke Trainer is my independent business. I coach every session myself, design your program and make the adjustments as you progress.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No. Train session by session or buy a pack of 10 or 20. There are no contracts or hidden fees.
