It's most rewarding to be able to help people reach their goals whether that be teaching them ways to incorporate yoga and meditation into their lives as a way to increase health, mental focus, awareness and intention or meet specific goal. I love seeing individuals achieve levels of success beyond what they originally thought they were capable of doing. With a little understanding, gentle encouragement, and a desire to improve ones life; amazing things can happen.

Your Personal Training questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

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?

There are instructors and then there is Austin! I first met Austin via a Groupon offering for golf lessons. From the first time he returned my call, I could tell he was a true professional. After two lessons, I purchased 10 additional lessons. I have high expectations of people who hold themselves out to be an ‘expert’ in their craft, and from our first introduction, Austin exceeded my expectations and he continues to do so. First, he greets you as any customer would want to be greeted and he takes the time to understand your personal goals. During a session with Austin, he asks very thought provoking questions about your golf swing. He makes you think differently about golf, simplifying many things that weekend enthusiasts regularly overthink. Austin is legitimate. Not only is he a great communicator, ‘He’s got game!’ From the first time I watched him hit a golf ball, I was in awe, and it confirmed my decision in choosing him as my instructor. His ability to demonstrate the mechanics of the golf swing is stunning! Not only does he deliver in performance, he tells you how he’s going to hit the ball and then does. Fades, draws, straight down the line to chipping and putting, he delivers with confidence and ease, making it easy to transfer the experience into your own game. His use of videoing during various phases of the lesson allows for immediate feedback. Austin’s client list is also a testament to his communications skills. I have observed Austin teaching our youth through our most seasoned golfers. He knows how to connect with his clients because he is genuine. Many instructors can only take you so far in your game, requiring you to seek out another instructor, but Austin’s diversity in his game coupled with his teaching abilities will ensure a longtime instructor/client relationship. In my opinion, Austin’s greatest attribute is his demeanor. In addition to his talents, he is approachable, creates a nonthreatening environment and above all else, he wants to see his clients succeed. I encourage you to experience the talents of Austin Jarchow!
