The closest private studio personal trainer to Curl Curl is Mr PT Fitness, about 5 minutes north at 35 McIntosh Road, Dee Why, with 1-on-1 sessions from $55. Mr PT Fitness is a private home gym run by Matt Reilly, a personal trainer with 10+ years' experience. It suits Curl Curl locals who want heavy barbell work under a roof and still want to use the lagoon loop and the beach steps for conditioning.
Where is the closest personal trainer to Curl Curl?
Mr PT Fitness in Dee Why is the nearest private-studio personal trainer to Curl Curl, roughly 5 minutes up Pittwater Road and under 2 kilometres for most of the suburb. Curl Curl and North Curl Curl are mostly residential, so there is no dedicated 1-on-1 studio in the suburb itself. Locals either join a big-box gym in Brookvale or come north to Dee Why. The studio has a full rack, barbells, dumbbells and machines, with one coach for the whole hour.
Can I mix studio sessions with beach training?
Yes. Outdoor sessions run by arrangement at the same price as a studio session, and most Curl Curl clients use a mix rather than picking one. The split that works is simple: lift indoors where the load can be measured and increased week to week, then use the lagoon and the beach for conditioning, tempo work and hill efforts. Sand and grass are excellent for running and carries. They are useless for adding 2.5kg to a deadlift, because nothing there gets heavier.
Studio session or outdoor session: which does what?
The studio is for measurable strength, the outdoor sessions are for conditioning and variety. Here is how the two compare for a Curl Curl client:
| Factor | Dee Why studio | Curl Curl outdoors |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Squat, deadlift, press, rows, machine work | Running, sled-style carries, steps, circuits |
| Progress tracking | Exact weight and reps logged each session | Time, distance and effort |
| Weather | Never a factor | Rain and southerlies move the session indoors |
| Cost | From $55 1-on-1 | From $55 1-on-1, same rate |
| Typical use | 2 sessions a week | 1 session a week or a solo homework run |

What does a training week look like for a Curl Curl client?
A common week is two studio strength sessions and one outdoor conditioning session, all within a 5-minute radius of home. The usual shape:
- Tuesday 6:00am, studio: lower-body strength, squat or trap-bar deadlift, logged and loaded
- Thursday 6:00am, studio: upper-body strength, press and row work
- Saturday, outdoors: the 2.5km Curl Curl lagoon loop flat and open, or the South Curl Curl steps for hill work
Sessions are 1-on-1 from $55, or small group from $25 per person if you train with a neighbour or partner. The services page lists the full options, including online coaching from $50 per week for travel weeks. If you are weighing up suburbs and studios across the area, the Northern Beaches personal training map covers the lot.

Frequently asked questions
How far is the Dee Why studio from Curl Curl?
About 5 minutes by car from Curl Curl to 35 McIntosh Road, Dee Why, and closer to 3 minutes from North Curl Curl. It is a short run north on Pittwater Road, under 2 kilometres for most of the suburb. Free on-street parking sits roughly 30 metres from the studio door.
Can we train at Curl Curl instead of the studio?
Yes, outdoor sessions run by arrangement at the Curl Curl lagoon loop or the South Curl Curl steps, at the same price as a studio session. Most clients keep the barbell work indoors and use outdoor sessions for conditioning, because you cannot progressively load a squat or deadlift on sand.
Do you train early enough for a surf or the commute?
Yes. Weekday slots start at 5:30am, with 6:00am and 6:30am also available, plus Saturday mornings. A 5:30am session finishes by 6:30am, which leaves time for a paddle at Curl Curl or a drive to the B-Line stop before peak traffic builds on Pittwater Road.
