Austin M. says, "I have always been an active person, and a person who enjoyed the gym. I use to come in to do my workouts going through the day to day, believing I knew about being healthy and getting in a “good” workout. I came to Snap Fitness in August of 2013. For the next year I did the same routines I had done my entire life, occasionally trying something new I had seen another guy doing. Over the period of a year I came to know one of the trainers, Brandon McCombs. Throughout that year I watched him with his clients and even talked to his past clients, before making the plunge and signing up for 24 sessions. When I finally made the commitment I was ecstatic, thinking I would handle myself pretty well and pick up a few tricks along the way. Little did I know Brandon’s vast knowledge would not only change my body, but my life in its entirety. I have recently finished my 24 sessions; it has been not only the greatest experience, but the greatest investment imaginable. I have learned so much in so many different areas of being healthy and living fit. From increasing my mobility, strength, and endurance, to being able to cook and eat better and understand why I am eating it, to finally being able to look in the mirror and be proud of what I see. Most people think women are the only ones who suffer from insecurities, however in this day and age with movies like “Magic Mike” and tabloids of shirtless celebrities it is hard for a guy to feel confident. Thanks to Brandon McCombs I am proud to look in the mirror, proud of the fact I have pushed myself harder in the gym than I ever have before, but mostly, I am honored and privileged to have been able to become a client of Brandon’s. I just signed up for 24 more sessions, and am stoked to watch my body transform even more and unleash my inner beast. To the person reading this, whether you are waiting for your first fitness assessment, or deciding whether to take the plunge as I did; remember that progress always begins where your comfort zone ends."

We offer training for adults and youths not for the waste of time but for breaking limits. Way before I was born my family was all around athelets on both sides so being pushed beyond limits was always apart of life. When covid become popular to the United States, everyone was hit at angle that wasn't totally expected them people began to desire ways of more determination for structure, strength, discipline, and keeping active became very serious especially for those parent(s) who needed activities for their children or for themselves to gain skills and execute goals (I too am a parent as well so I know how things can be) and the best thing ...

Your Personal Training questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

A personal trainer costs $40 to $70 per hour on average or $250 to $400 per month for two sessions per week. Prices depend on the session length, location, trainer's experience, and if you buy a monthly package or book individual sessions.

Personal training rates at popular gyms are $50 to $110 per session, with most sessions lasting one hour. Many gyms offer a free initial fitness assessment with a certified personal trainer.

Hiring a personal trainer can be worth it if you need accountability, are having difficulty achieving your fitness goals on your own, or are returning to a fitness routine after an injury. A personal trainer can help you set realistic expectations, design a custom fitness plan, measure your progress, and boost your motivation.

A personal trainer can suggest activities that work best for your body and your schedule to maximize your results with the time and equipment available to you. Trainers also provide critical guidance for proper exercise form and movement, reducing your risk of injury.

Health insurance typically does not cover the cost of a personal trainer, and you can only pay for a personal trainer with your Health Savings Account (HSA) if your physician or nurse practitioner prescribes an exercise regimen.

Your doctor must write a letter of medical necessity (LMN) confirming the personal training sessions are intended to treat or prevent a medical condition, and you must provide a copy to the IRS when filing your taxes.

You should meet with your personal trainer 1 to 3 times per week, depending on your current fitness level and experience, short-term and long-term goals, and how often you're able to train solo during the week. Most trainers recommend beginning with 2 to 3 sessions per week for at least six weeks to establish a routine.

  • If you're on a budget and can only meet with your personal trainer once per week, you'll need to train on your own at least one to three times per week to make progress toward your fitness goals.
  • Consider seeing your personal trainer up to 4 times per week to work on short-term goals, like dropping a dress size before a wedding or training for a sports competition.

A personal trainer starts by evaluating your current fitness level, strengths and weaknesses, and skills, then develops a customized exercise plan to help you meet your goals. The trainer works one-on-one with you to monitor your progress and provide guidance and encouragement.

A trainer will ensure you're working each muscle group correctly and at the right frequency, and that you're using proper form for each exercise to avoid injury.

For the best results, aim to build a long-term relationship with your personal trainer to help you get in shape, stay in shape, and achieve your fitness goals. Follow these tips to find the best personal trainer for you:

  • Look for an NCSA Certified Personal Trainer (NSCA-CPT) or Certified Performance and Sports Scientist (CPSS).
  • If you have specific goals, such as bodybuilding or running a marathon, select a trainer with experience in that area.
  • Read their reviews on Lessons and Google.
  • Meet with the trainer to discuss your goals, workout preferences, and any health conditions.
  • Ask them how the exercises will change and progress over time. Be wary of trainers who offer only vague answers, as this may indicate a lack of experience.
  • Confirm the personal trainer has liability insurance and training in CPR and first aid.

Ask these questions to ensure you choose a personal trainer with the right experience and skills:

  • How long have you been a personal trainer?
  • Which certifications do you have?
  • What is your fitness specialty?
  • What is your teaching style?
  • How do you assess a new client?
  • What experience do you have working with clients at my fitness level?
  • Do you have any client photos or video testimonials?
  • What does your program include?
  • What results should I expect to see?
  • How long will it take to reach my fitness goals?
  • How do you track fitness goals and progress?
  • How will the exercises change over time?
  • Do you have liability insurance?
  • Are you trained in CPR and first aid?

I have worked out all my life. I thought I knew what I was doing since high school when working out to accomplish the physical fitness goals I had set for myself. It turns out that I did not know as much as I thought. In fact, since working with my trainer, Brandon McCombs, I have discovered how little I knew about proper workout techniques. Working with Brandon has helped me accomplish physical fitness goals I did not think were possible at my age. I am doing things now with my body that I have not done since high school – like the toes to the bar routine and burpees! I am no spring chicken but during my last fitness assessment I warmed up on the incline bench press with 10 reps of 180 pounds, I then did four reps of 242 pounds, and finished with one rep of 292 pounds. I never lifted that amount of weight when I was a dedicated weightlifter and those results did not come from weightlifting. The results have come from doing high intensity old school exercise like pushups, sit-ups, pull-ups, squats, and more under the watchful eye and encouragement of my trainer, Brandon. I highly recommend other Snap Fitness members work out with a trainer; you will be amazed at the results. I am! Sincerely, Dr. Mick La Lopa
