How much do personal trainers charge?

For more information read our personal trainer price guide.

Is a fitness coach worth the money?

Is a fitness coach worth the money?

The biggest benefits of hiring a gym trainer, whether you're new to fitness or a seasoned pro, are accountability, motivation, and personalisation.

If you’re planning on private training sessions, your workouts will be personalised to your own goals and current fitness level. This means you’ll likely see better and faster results, than you would from joining large fitness classes or following a generic plan online. It’s about making every minute of your workout count.

For those new to fitness or worried about getting injured, a personal trainer is an invaluable asset. They will teach you proper form and technique, giving immediate feedback to correct your posture and ensure every movement is precise. If you have any existing injuries or medical conditions, be sure to mention them so you can be matched with an appropriately qualified trainer who understands your needs.

How long are the sessions?


Sessions usually last between 45 to 60 minutes, although some trainers may offer shorter 30-minute or longer 90-minute options depending on your specific needs and fitness goals.

Is there a way to make personal training more affordable?

In short, yes. You’ll likely find that private personal training sessions are the most expensive because of the tailored nature of the approach. However, buying a package deal or paying for a number of sessions upfront may get you a discount. It’s worth discussing with your trainer once you’ve connected. Alternatively, group training sessions or an online PT might be a more affordable option if you’re looking for a cheap personal trainer.

Find local & flexible personal trainers

No matter where you are, we'll help you find a trusted personal trainer who fits your schedule and fitness goals.
  • Train your way: Whether you want to train at home, in your local gym, or outdoors in a nearby park, we can find a local trainer for you.
  • Completely flexible: Need a session before your commute to work, during a lunch break from the office, or on a weekend? No problem. Your trainer works around your busy life.
  • Certified professionals: Feel confident knowing your fitness journey is guided by qualified, experienced, and motivational trainers who know the best places to train in your area.
  • Results you can see: Achieve your fitness goals and feel stronger, more energetic, and more confident than ever before.

What types of workouts are on offer with a PT?
Whether you're training for a marathon, a 10k, or simply looking to tone up, a fitness coach will tailor each session to your personal objectives.
Personal training provides a wealth of benefits, including:
  • Improved physical dexterity
  • Increased strength and power
  • Enhanced endurance

Enjoy the convenience of scheduling sessions that fit your lifestyle. Your personal trainer can come to your home, meet you at a local park, or train with you at your gym. Many of Bark’s personal trainers offer specific types of training or sessions, including:
  • Yoga: All disciplines, including Hatha and Vinyasa
  • Boxing: Technique and conditioning
  • Cardio: High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), Metafit
  • Strength: Muscle building and weightlifting

Will a PT help with my diet?

Exercise is a powerful tool, and many trainers combine physical coaching with practical nutrition advice to achieve sustainable results. When outlining your needs, mention you're looking to hire a trainer for weight loss or a coach who integrates personal training and nutrition.

What do you love most about your job?

There’s far too many things to pick from! If I’ve got to narrow it down to just one, it’s very rewarding helping someone on a potentially life-changing journey. I get to see real change in my clients, whether that be in their overall health, weight, or attitude.

How did you get into personal training?

I was always athletic at school. I was a part of as many sports clubs as possible and I would never seem to slow down – being active is simply who I am. When I first joined a gym I quickly learnt that I could set new milestones and beat them again and again. Being able to see progression was fascinating and pushing myself to new limits was great. I became friends with the personal trainers at my gym and the job they were describing was simply perfect for me. I then booked onto my first training course and the rest was history!

What qualifications have you achieved?

I have a Master Personal Trainer Diploma, certifications in sports massage, and even ante and postnatal instructing. I’m certified to instruct cycling, weight lifting, and circuit training.

What variety of training options do you provide for clients?

I can work with clients from home, at a local gym, in public areas/parks, from my private workout studio, or even at their office. Modern life is busy and can be difficult to balance, so we can discuss the most suitable options for your routine and budget.

Having tried various PTs over the years, I’ve never stuck with one and felt like I had a chance of hitting my long term weight and fitness goals. I’ve been working with Dan for almost two years now, which is by far the longest I’ve ever had a PT for. His measured and considered approach to how we work out, along with his boundless enthusiasm and positivity for what we are doing has kept me at it. I am the fittest and most agile I’ve been in years, and whilst I have a way to go yet, I firmly believe I’ll get there with Dan. I could not recommend him strongly enough, whatever level of fitness you are, or want to be, he is a force for good who will do everything he can to help you have a happier and healthier life. I am eternally grateful I met him and get to go on this journey with him.

Q&A

Expand all

It depends on your end goal. If you’re training for a marathon, you might work out nearly every day of the week. If you’re a low-level beginner, a minimum of three times a week is enough to make a noticeable impact. No matter what you’re working out for, everyone needs rest and recovery days. Without them, your muscles won’t be able to recuperate and grow strong, so remember to factor in some down-time, too!

Pretty much anywhere! The great thing about personal training is that it’s flexible - as long as you have the necessary equipment, you and your instructor can decide to have your sessions from the gym, your home, the park, or even your office if you want to!

Yes! First of all, they will chat with you about your goals, and discuss the best way to achieve them. They should also ask you to fill in a consent form to check that you don’t have any pre-existing health conditions that could impact your exercise. They’ll also carry out a health assessment to get a better idea of your current fitness level, tailoring your workout plan around that.

It's tricky to say, as personal training sessions vary significantly depending on what you want to achieve and the type of workout. Generally, one personal training session tends to last forty-five minutes to one hour. It will start with a gentle warm-up, followed by the nitty-gritty of the actual workout, with stretches to end the session. Remember, warming up and stretching is essential for injury prevention - it’s just as important as the main part of the workout!

A personal trainer needs to be clued up on all aspects of fitness, from the most effective exercise techniques to nutrition and human anatomy- that’s a lot of responsibility! You need to make sure your professional is suitably qualified for the job. After all, you shouldn’t cut corners when it comes to investing in your health. Make sure your trainer has the minimum qualifications required to practice. In the UK, this is the Level 3 Personal Trainer qualification.

Absolutely! Online personal training has become increasingly popular as more people are looking to maintain their fitness during lockdowns and gyms closing. As long as you and your personal trainer have a strong internet connection and a device to stream on like a laptop, tablet or smartphone, there's no reason why your session can't be delivered remotely.
