Adrian J. says, "Hello! This is Adrian Jimenez and my friend Bassie was my guitar instructor. Guitar is an instrument I been wanting to learn for a while, and when I found out Bassie was a guitarist, I wanted him to instruct me. The main thing I appreciated bout Bassie was his patience while teaching me. Considering I only did half hour lessons, he would find different methods to teach me how to remember each string, like using (E)very (B)oy (G)ets (D)inner (A)t (E)ight. He also showed me different strumming methods by providing real life examples what it’s like to strum, the motion your hand should do that is. Unfortunately I didn’t have the time needed at times to attend some lessons but when he postponed with me, we were still able to pick up where we left off and I liked seeing his reaction of me still getting the chords and strumming correctly after postponing. When I get the chance, I’ll definitely go back to taking lessons with Bassie to continue learning to play the guitar." Read more

My service stands out, because I have the ability to connect with my clients and understand them to better help them in their areas of need. I have been training for 7yrs and coaching quarterbacks for 15yrs. These methods have been practiced and proven over time. Nothing is more gratifying than watching them overcome adversity, of struggling with new challenges from training. That sense of accomplishment creates a buy in that can not be sold through talk and then resonates later on in life! I can over come this, I can over come anything.

Mary says, "Rebekah is a professional and calming instructor. Rebekah guided our yoga session expertly, using the proper yoga terms, but still enough common language so that I had the confidence in what I was doing. She made comments when appropriate on my body position, so that I benefited from the yoga session and did not injure myself. Afterward, my muscles felt nicely stretched out and relaxed. Overall, it was an excellent yoga session." Read more

Your Personal Training questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

How much does a personal trainer cost near me?

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.

Is hiring a personal trainer worth it?

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.

Can you pay for a personal trainer with insurance or an HSA?

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.

How often should you see a personal trainer?

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.

What does a personal trainer do?

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.

How do I find the best personal trainer near me?

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.

What questions should I ask personal trainers before hiring?

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?

Super calm, patient, positive folks running the place. They're more interested in helping you use your body effectively and efficiently than in making you move heavy loads for big numbers.

Brodrick M.
Truly a great experience very attentive, supportive (in and out of sessions), observant to the small things, and elaborative when it comes to explanations in relation to each workout. He not only coaches/trains but literally do the entire workout with each client with intensity. Definitely will recommend them to anybody.
