His clear explanations, demonstrations, and patience helped her grasp the fundamentals quickly. I appreciated his focus on proper technique and safety, making her feel comfortable and confident throughout the session. What impressed me most was Coach Beaman's ability to break down complex skills into manageable parts, providing personalized feedback and encouragement. His enthusiasm and passion for the sport are contagious, making her excited to continue learning and improving. After just one session, I've already noticed improvements in her footwork, ball handling, and shooting.

Catherine B. says, "I started working with Coach Rob in March 2025 after winning a consultation and two workouts in a raffle. At the time, I was nervous to start a training program as I was still recovering from a knee surgery and nowhere near where I wanted to be from a fitness or recover perspective. From the first consultation, Coach Rob had been extremely knowledgeable, kind, personable, and professional. I walked him through my full history, from being a collegiate athlete and continuing to lift and sprint as an adult to navigating two patellar tendon rupture repairs in the span of two years, and my goal of getting strong and lean again. Despite still having a lot of limitations to my knee strength and mobility, Coach Rob showed me that I could make real progress toward my goals. After our first two workouts, I committed to a training plan and have seen great progress both in my fitness level, body composition, knee recovery, and overall strength. Coach Rob is great at holding you accountable, pushing you while also ensuring you’re not going to injure yourself, and keeping you on track to enjoy the process to your goals. I would recommend him to anyone at any stage of their fitness journey!" Read more

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?

It's practically and easily usable the same day you learn especially if you unfortunately have to be in a situation to use it. Besides the physical skill set you have receive the mind set to deal with critical life scares.

Rob is a true professional with a breadth of knowledge on fitness and recovery. Me, being an athlete and an active duty service member, I have put my body through an immense amount of physical activity. Rob helps me continue being an all around athlete by taking my recovery just as seriously. Having someone who truly understands the body, makes my trust in his overall abilities apparent. Also having someone who can travel to me takes the stress out of me trying to get to him, and then hope that I can relax in time to enjoy my therapeutic massage sessions.
