Personal Trainer Cost Guide

How Much Should You Spend on a Personal Trainer?

Popular trainers have a higher hourly rate because they have less availability. And they’re popular for a reason. Clients see that they provide more value to their lives than other trainers. They provide value by bringing:

• Motivation
• Humour
• Fun
• Experience
• Focus
• Technique
• Planning
• Good communication skills

And clients will of course value different things. But when trainers bring a combination of the list above, the sessions are great. They smile, make you feel important, and it’s a powerful experience. To turn exercise into something you would like to do is an amazing feat. It’s such an accomplishment to enjoy going to the gym. And a great trainer can do that for you. Good trainers watch you exercise. Great trainers create an experience. And teach you how to do it on your own for a lifetime.

How Many Times a Week Should You See a Personal Trainer?

About 80% of our clients train twice per week. If clients were to train once per week, its more of a maintainance plan. But if clients were to choose once per week, we recommend training on their own three times per week. Some clients come to us asking for 3,4, or even sometimes 5 times per week. Those clients usually know what they want already and see the value in personal training. And if you were to train twice per week with us, it’s highly likely that after 2 weeks of training your motivation would increase. Healthy habits would begin to be formed. And at that stage, you’ll feel like exercising. You’ll know exactly what you need to do. And you’ll be at the stage of training twice with our trainers, and twice on your own. And that’s how you can see amazing progress each and every week. For weight loss, you can expect 0.5kg – 1kg of body fat lost per week.
