Erika says, "Crossfit in Howard Beach is awesome! I’m a 24 yr old who never workouts so when my friend told me about this I laughed, thinking “here goes another gym membership i’ll never use”. WRONG! This is a gym membership that I have actively been using in my first 2 weeks alone! I have two great friends who also seem hooked from the start and join me on my way to the classes. John is so receptive to the concerns of each person in the class, it’s hard not to want to work out with his positive attitude. I struggle through the workouts but I push myself harder each time I go because I’ve noticed that burning sensation is actually good! I can’t say enough good things about this gym – can’t knock it until you try it. I’m still in the beginning stages but my assumption would be I can only get better – right?!? Thanks for the motivation Crossfit Team!" 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?

Sam is great at working with kids. Our 9 year old son had hardly any football experience but Sam was able to explain things clearly, make training fun and really understood how to relate to him. He is very positive, knowledgeable and encouraging. Our son is doing really well and can't wait to work with him again!

Cedric found a way to make the workouts fun, which I didn't even think was possible. He learned what to do in order to make me dig deeper and get The most out of every single session. I highly recommend training with Cedric if you're serious about reaching your goals!

This gym has the ‘personal’ touch. Never mind the fantastic workouts-my body has never been more toned or sculpted-the encouragement and sense of belonging is a welcome change to the gym scene. Never once have I been made to feel bad if I didn’t know how to do something or was doing it wrong. The encouragement to finish those last reps and push yourself beyond what you thought possible is uplifting. The personal connections to the trainers and other members is priceless.

“I saw immediate results in my first few weeks of training with Hollye and continuous improvement since. She’s got an incredible eye for areas that need increased focus or development and always pushes me to exceed my own expectations. Every time I think there’s no room to grow, she shows me a new technique or routine that reinvigorates my approach to fitness. I honestly can’t say enough good things about Hollye as we embark on year 4 of our journey.”

Dealing with procrastination has been my worst foe. After a powerful conversation with Luis Soto, he has been that GPS that guided me to implement ideas that will assist me in dealing with the hurdle of Stalling with tasks that need to be done right away. His Cross-examination allowed me to find ideas I all ready had, but because of limiting beliefs, I never executed them. Thanks to Luis, I have developed the appropriate steps to overcome my nemesis and develop a routine that will allow me to be more productive moving forward. Thank You!
