How Much Does A Personal Trainer Cost?

The price for personal training varies widely across the nation with the average price per hour being $65 (updated in 2024).

For experienced personal trainers, you should expect to pay somewhere between $75 and $100 per hour for a one-on-one session in Brevard County. The hourly rate would be significantly higher for a personal trainer with similar experience in South Beach.

This price range also depends heavily on the personal trainer’s education, experience, availability and ability to get results.

When people are wanting to get into shape or lose weight, hiring a personal trainer is one of the first considerations.

This consideration is almost immediately followed with the question of “how much it will cost?”.

When you hire a personal trainer, you’re paying for someone’s time and expertise.

When you purchase a standard gym membership, you’re paying for shared access to equipment and amenities.

More often than not, this ultimately comes down to your views on taking care of your health.

If you view training as an expense, you’ll probably find yourself paying between $10 and $40 for a big box gym you don’t really want.

If you view your training as an investment in your health (longer life, better quality of life and less medication), then you’ll likely have a better appreciation for the benefits personal training can provide.

Hopefully you aren’t someone needing long-term care later in life because you’ve neglected your health. As of 2024, the average cost of long-term care in Florida is more than $6,000 per month. This is significantly more expensive than personal training.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Personal Training Options

Many personal trainers will offer both 60 minute and 30-minute sessions. You can expect for a 30-minute session to cost approximately 60% of the one-hour rate.

For example, if the 60-minute rate is $80 per hour, you could expect the rate for a 30-minute session to be approximately $50.

At No Limits Fitness, we also offer Small Group Personal Training which allows you to share the cost of an hour of personal training. Our sessions are designed to have up to 6 people working with one coach.

By splitting the expense of an experienced personal trainer, we are able to offer high quality training at a more affordable rate per session.  (Currently our average Small Group Session Rate is around $30).

Additionally, our Small Group Personal Training programs include Accountability, Education, InBody scans, quarterly Goal Reviews and support within our private online community. These additional services typically aren’t included with one-on-one personal training.

Conclusion

As you can see, there is a wide range of pricing options when it comes to personal training.

Without question there are some excellent trainers that charge lower rates…as well as bad trainers charging higher rates. In general, rates are determined largely by a trainers ability to get clients, their ability to get results for their clients and finally their ability to retain clients.

The average career expectancy of a personal trainer is 1 to 2 years. The industry constantly produces far more trainers than is needed (similar to hair stylists, real estate agents and financial advisors). For personal trainers, this is commonly because the hours are bad (early mornings and late evenings) and because newer trainers struggle to charge a rate high enough for them to earn a living.

Experienced personal trainers that develop better skillsets through continued education will likely charge more per hour than those early in their careers.

As with most things, price is what you pay and value is what you get.
