Personal Trainer FAQs

According to the latest Bark data, the average hourly rate of a personal trainer in Australia is $75 per session. However this price is a guide, not a fixed rule. The cost of a personal trainer will depend on their experience, specialisation, and location, with inner-city rates often varying from those in outer suburbs. Additionally, the price is influenced by the training venue, such as a private studio versus online, and whether you purchase a cost-effective package deal.
