In 1996 Rohan and Marlene Erard established Erards Fitness Consultancy, a successful personal training studio in Ashburton, Victoria.  After 8 years, they sold the studio and took a well earned break from the industry. Repeated requests from previous clients resulted in Rohan and Marlene returning to Melbourne and PRO. PT Fitness Professionals was formed in May 2007.  

Since then the business has grown steadily and developed a very loyal client base with many clients from the "Erards" days returning.

“Our aim is to provide a quality service and facility that will give our clients enjoyment and the motivation to do something positive for themselves, in an environment far less intimidating than a large commercial gym”.
