Personal trainer explaining different pricing models to a potential client

The Best Pricing Strategy for Personal Trainers

February 10, 20251 min read

Setting the right price for your personal training services can be tricky. Charge too little, and you undervalue your skills. Charge too much, and potential clients might turn elsewhere. The right pricing strategy will help you attract more clients while ensuring profitability.

1. Hourly vs. Package Pricing

Many personal trainers start with an hourly rate, but this model can be limiting. Package pricing is often a better choice because:

•               It ensures client commitment over a longer period.

•               It increases revenue stability.

•               It encourages consistent training, leading to better client results.

2. Subscription-Based Model

A membership-based model, like PT Success Formula (€49/month), allows trainers to:

•               Generate consistent monthly revenue.

•               Offer access to exclusive training resources.

•               Reduce time spent chasing payments.

3. Value-Based Pricing

Instead of charging per session, price your services based on the value you provide. Position yourself as a high-level coach by:

•               Focusing on results instead of session time.

•               Offering premium packages with nutrition plans and coaching calls.

4. Upselling and Add-Ons

Increase revenue by offering additional services, such as:

•               Customized meal plans.

•               Online training programs.

•               Group training discounts.
