Personal Training Rate$

One of the "big box" gyms near my house is $40 per 30-minute session. You can buy packages that change that but I believe that is the single session fee.

Another small gym (only 2 clients per hour) only sells packages of 90 sessions for $1800. Works out to $20 per 60-minute session.

Seems a pretty broad range.

Just curious how much some folks who use a personal trainer or have investigated it are (thinking about) paying? Or if you are a personal trainer 9either at a gym or free-lance) how much is charged for your services and how long are the sessions if you don't mind sharing?
 
You can send me a check for 500 for 50 E-lessons. That equates to $10 per session. This one is free:

Eat Less, Move More
Proper technique is more important then heavy weights
Running is good for you
Pizza is not
 
When I used to train people, I'd charge at least $80 per session depending on the complexity of the clients situation. That would also include a HEAP load of nutritional information as well.
 
too bad the trainer doesn't get that ... most trainers will get paid the same if they are training 1 or 10 people ... good system for the gym ... rip-off for the trainer.
 
40$ that's pretty much for a 30mins. session. Well,maybe the payment depends on the training intensity he offered you,or on his experience in training field. I suggest,you migth study becoming a trainer youself. This can cost less,you just need effort and patience.
 
It's location specific. Different regions will allow you to charge different prices. I know trainers in LA and NYC who can charge 200+ per session.

Here, where I am, for in person training, rates range between 60-80 per hour.

For online, clients are looking at 50-100 per month depending on a number of things.
 
I charge $20 for a 30 minute session, and very reasonable diet and training plans. Lmk if you need any help.

Why are spammers able to post links straight away but real members aren't?

On topic, I think if you're a competent PT and you give good customer service, you should be receiving at least $1 per minute of face-time with clients, and I don't put any upper limit on what you should charge - although you should consider your target market and demographics before setting a price. If you're training out of a 5-star private studio, and all your clients are the kind of guys who spend most of their time in tuxedos, are CEOs or have some form of celebrity status, you could get away with charging in excess of $400/hour, while doing PT fulltime. It's been done. If you have some notoriety of your own, you can probably charge $100/hr or more without a problem. If you're in any situation where your reputation is so great that people come to you and are guaranteed to come to you, then you can probably charge triple digits without a problem. If, however, you train people in an uninviting location, your customer service is crappy, you don't act professional and your training practices suck, then I think you should be earning negative income every time you go near a client.

Of course, I think most decent trainers starting out should be charging in the $60-99/hr bracket, or doing a group setup that gets them a similar amount of money (or more) per hour (but I also think most PTs, regardless of whether they're just starting out or have been in the industry for years, are incompetent, and shouldn't be receiving a dime for what they do).

For PT services that don't involve face-time, I think the cost should be much less (unsurprisingly). Online PT is typically about $20/wk, and I think that's a fair price for the service, provided it's a good service.

When I was working, I was charging $75-80/hr.
 
perhaps I misunderstand the question (and therefore my statement is being misunderstood). So, I'll try to clarify - You are not allowed to spam links. My comment was meant to say that the forum does not automatically stop you from including a link in your post ... however, if you we see one that we consider spam, you will be banned.

You actually posted your email address which is not allowed for any member. All members are allowed to post links as long as they are not spam.
 
dang I'm not charging enough....it feels expensive to charge that much I really want to work with middle class and lower class clients any ideas to do this and still make good money?
 
I'm ACE certified but I don't have a college degree...can I still expect to charge $60+ a session? I'm not a people person but I have a strong knowledge of exercise science and nutrition. How can I be more professional and get people with lower income to invest in my services? How can I make my training enjoyable to the masses and find clients that fit my personality?
