How much should I pay for a personal trainer in New York City?

by glenn on July 3, 2012

When looking for a personal trainer in New York City, there are two major considerations.  Clients want to find someone with a good reputation who will get the job done well and they want the services at an affordable price.  Personal trainers tend to be on the high end of the spectrum when it comes to fees but that is the case about most anything in the city. While personal trainers may charge as much as $150 an hour, thereis the potential to find one that only charges $40.  A reasonable range to expect is around $75-$105 an hour for a single session with a little leeway in either direction, but one shouldn’t be surprised if it creeps up higher in parts of the city.

Anyone considering a personal trainer should bear in mind that it is an investment in one’s health and body. There isn’t anything else in this life that is more
important. Money spent to stay fit and live longer is money well spent. When choosing from one of the many New York personal trainers, select someone who is
experienced, well-educated in physical fitness and who has positive reviews from others. Find out if the trainer is nationally certified for an added vote of confidence in order to get one’s money’s worth. An online search that requests reviews will provide feedback and assist in making an informed decision.

Other considerations affecting price include the location of the session.  Will you have the personal trainer come to your home or meet them at a gym. Requesting a personal trainer New York City, who mainly works outside of your area, to come to the home or apartment will most likely be more expensive.

Another important consideration is the length of time that the personal trainer New York City is needed. If a trainer costs less, but doesn’t provide good results after a year, that is money wasted. However, if a client pays a little more but has that phenomenal body within a few months, that personal trainer is well worth the extra. In the long run, it will actually be a savings for clients.

There are few instances where beginning a fitness routine under the careful eye of a personal trainer could have negative consequences.  Nonetheless, it can happen.  It is highly recommended that anyone starting a new fitness routine see their doctor for a full exam and get their approval to begin a rigorous routine.  Most NYC
personal trainers
will require a health history questionnaire be filled out before your sessions can begin ad that will be one of the questions.  If your personal trainer-client relationship does not start this way, it may be a red flag and a sign you should find another personal training partner.
