Nicole L. says, "An amazing coach who continuously inspires you to be the best version of yourself. I became legally disabled in 8/2021. I have the permanent placard to prove it. Initially, I was informed by my Neurologist that I would likely not regain much function in my left leg despite undergoing a 5hr surgical procedure on my L-spine. And since I plateaued after having completing nearly 2 yrs of Physical therapy, I was formally discharged. Sadly, I still had difficulty climbing stairs and maintaining my balance. Falls were second nature. And although I had lost a substantial amount of weight, I needed to lose more. In the three months that I've been training with Vlad, I've lost 35LB. More importantly, I am able to climb stairs with confidence and, have regained more balance and strength in my left leg just after 3 months of training. This is significantly more than my gains with 2 years of Physical therapy. I am thankful for my therapists but I clearly wasn't ready to be "discharged". I'm a clinician (Hematology/Oncology) of 20+ years so I don't liberally put my health in just anyone's hands. Vlad is an amazing athlete, coach and mentor. I am privileged to have met him as I learned so much. I encourage you to reach out to him. Working out can be rigorous and challenging but, it can be fun! If you sign with him, be prepared to work. And if you bring the stew 🍲, he'll bring the heat 🔥. ❤️" Read more

Carleton H. says, "I was a little nervous initially about attending classes (at any dojo), as someone with no previous Martial Arts experience, and being a little on the older side, and not in great shape by any means... Sensei Werth, however, was super kind and very encouraging in our initial conversations; which is what convinced me to try Main Street Martial Arts above any other dojo. I was very impressed with Sensei Werth upon meeting in person for my first class. The class was physically challenging for me in my current state; but Sensei again, was so kind, encouraging, and supportive. I felt very welcomed and included by him and the other students. The dojo itself is very clean and well kept. You simply cannot find better people. It is clear that Sensei and staff pour their hearts and souls into the dojo. I am continuing on my journey here at Main Street Martial Arts, and I am excited for our future." Read more

Building and connecting with people and assisting clients to reach their personal fitness goals, along with teaching the disciplines and skills needed to perform the basic fundamentals of boxing training and fitness. I often assit people in achieving their goals and or dreams of either success in boxing or fitness. So that's what I enjoy most about what I do. It's building a network with people as well as helping people see their potential and achieve their highest potential through fitness or boxing. That's what is so great because it's such a huge demand in the fitness industry and people really enjoy boxing and they don't have to fight in

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?
