The Director
Dale Cronin
B.AppSc/Ex Science
Dale Cronin began his career in the fitness industry over 25 years ago, launching his journey after completing a Bachelor of Applied Science (Exercise Science) at the Australian Catholic University. During this time, he also started working as a Personal Trainer, quickly building a strong foundation in both theory and practical application.
With his extensive knowledge and energetic approach, Dale rapidly developed a loyal and consistent client base—many of whom he still trains today.
Dale has been a leading educator in the fitness industry for over 23 years and is currently lecturing with the Australian Fitness Academy (AFA), where he has taught throughout this time. He has also delivered education with VFA Learning in Geelong, Australian Catholic University, and PT Academy.
Through his experience across multiple Registered Training Organisations, Dale has developed a reputation as a highly respected and engaging presenter, known for delivering practical, real-world education that trainers can apply immediately.
As the founder and director of the Personal Training Workshop Company, Dale is committed to delivering high-quality, fully accredited fitness courses. His workshops are specifically designed for qualified personal trainers looking to enhance their skills, expand their knowledge, and maintain their professional accreditation. Dale currently offers eight accredited workshops, with more in development.
Over the course of his career, Dale has delivered more than 50,000 personal training sessions, and now specialises in High Performance Personal Training and Life Coaching. Through working with clients from all walks of life, he has developed a deep understanding of human behaviour, motivation, and the key strategies required to drive long-term exercise adherence. His passion lies in helping individuals create meaningful, lasting change in both their health and their lives.
