He worked with my son over spring break, helped him fine tune his weaknesses, play on strengths and gave us an outline of things to work on and improve. This has been the best instruction he has received in his soccer path. Thank you so much to virtuous 1v1 for such a great experience!

Jennifer O. says, "Working with Jeremy on my fitness/self-defense has been great. He has been nothing but encouraging and supportive in all aspects of my training. Our sessions are always hard work but always with an element of fun never repetitive or boring. When I thought I couldn't do something I was never allowed to give in, it was broken down to help me manage it. It's about much more than losing weight for me. It's about regaining confidence and developing my strength - I feel so much stronger and am so grateful for the intense training. Thank you......you're a gift to this world!!!" 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?

I highly recommend Eugenio as a tennis coach. He is truly exceptional—dedicated, patient, and incredibly detail-oriented. Eugenio focuses on building a strong foundation and proper technique, taking the time to ensure I’m doing things correctly before moving forward. He never rushes and is always willing to spend as much time as needed to help me improve. What also stands out is his professionalism. He is extremely punctual—always arriving early—and consistently organized. From sending reminders to following up after lessons and offering helpful tips, Eugenio is on top of everything. His commitment and care make every session both effective and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a tennis coach who genuinely invests in your progress, Eugenio is the one.

Matt always made an effort to accommodate my preferences and level while maintaining a tough workout. He was flexible on time and worked with me to find a cost per class that I could afford. He’s very friendly and not intimidating. Recommend!

I started working with Xavi April 2019. We worked 3 days a week for a little over 6 months and I’m glad I made the investment. I gained gym confidence, knowledge on basic form, and learned just how much I can really push myself. Within 6 months of training with Xavi I lost a little over 20 pounds. Around this time I moved to a different side of town and decided to try working out on my own. I was nervous I would fail on my own but my time with Xavi prepared me to be able to workout alone and continue to meet my goals. Xavi helped me to change my life and I couldn’t be happier with the time and money I invested in his training.
