Personal Trainer Rates

"Hi, my name's Amy Kistler, and I'm going to talk to you a little bit about the cost of personal training. How much does a personal trainer cost? Well, this depends. It depends on your location. It depends on who your personal trainer is. It depends on the facility that you're at, and it also depends on if your personal trainer is coming to where you are at--so an at home personal trainer. If you're going to have somebody come to your house and train you, this is going to be a little bit more costly. If you're going to go to a gym and have a personal trainer train you, this is probably going to be a little bit more cheaper than having someone come to your home, because you're going to the facility to get trained. It also depends on the trainer. Are you looking for a specific type of training? Are you looking for just overall training? Are you looking for someone that has extensive background and has a degree? Are you looking for someone that has a certification? Well, if the person has a certification and a degree, and also has a lot of experience, they're going to cost more than somebody that doesn't have any three of these things. So, for example, let's say that you were living in a large city. If you're living in a large city, the personal training cost is going to be up a little b it, as opposed to if you're living in a town, it's going to be a little bit cheaper. Let's say you walk into a facility and it has a weight room. It has free weights, it has a free motion machine, it has an aerobics studio, it has lots of balls, it has the stability balls, it has the bosu balls. If you are in an area that allows you to use all these things, personal training is going to cost a little bit more, as opposed to if you go into a gym that's limited and only has a couple free motion machines. Let's say it has just a couple weights, it has one or two pieces or cardio equipment. It's going to be a little bit less to have a personal trainer in this area. And from my experience of working in a gym, I have come to the conclusion that for working with a personal trainer it roughly costs about forty dollars an hour on average."
