What Is the Cost of a Personal Trainer in Carlsbad?

Personal training may seem like one of those luxurious expenses that only the wealthy can afford. The truth is, I have personal training clients at my Carlsbad gym from all walks of life! Personal training provides tremendous physical and mental benefits that makes the monthly cost more than worth it for them.

In Carlsbad, personal training costs will vary greatly depending on which gym you go to and the experience of your personal trainer.

Most big box gyms charge around $60 per hour, in addition to your regular monthly gym membership. This is a pretty good price for personal training, but many of the personal trainers at these larger gyms are just starting out. They may not have the personal training experience to address your specific aches, pains, injuries, or concerns.

Self-employed personal trainers like myself generally have more experience. This gives us the ability to tailor our personal training programs to fit your needs. We also have more flexibility when it comes to contact outside of our personal training sessions.

That said, a self-employed personal trainer in Carlsbad will cost more per session due to this specialized expertise, ongoing education costs, and the overhead of running a small business.

I personally charge $95 for a 60-minute personal training session at my Carlsbad gym. This may seem like a lot, but you are drawing from my more than 20 years of experience. You’ll also enjoy more privacy. I also offer select open gym hours to my clients throughout the week, so you can train in between our sessions without paying an additional fee.

That said, there are some ways you can lower the cost of a personal trainer like me in Carlsbad.

Buy More Personal Training Sessions at Once

You can purchase a package of 12 sessions for only $780 from my website. That’s work out to only $65 per session! Buying in bulk keeps you committed to coming. You won’t miss your sessions when it means losing out on money! It also makes achieving the results you want more affordable, as you’ll lose weight and build muscle faster with multiple sessions per week.  

Sign Up for Shorter Personal Training Sessions

In addition to 60-minute sessions, I offer 30-minute sessions starting at $50 per session. This is a great option if you’re on a budget. You’ll stick have access to me and my training method, but at a much more affordable rate. Just note that I only offer 30-minute sessions in packages of 4 and 8 sessions.

Try a Group Fitness Class

At various times, I’ve hosted a group fitness class for clients with similar goals who can’t afford one-on-one training or want to supplement their one-on-one training sessions with a cheaper option. Availability and pricing varies depending on interest, so if you’d like more information, please get in touch!

Personal Training Is One of the Best Investments You Can Make

It’s hard to make progress on your own. Whether you’re just starting to workout or want to overcome or avoid a fitness plateau, personal training can do wonders for your health.
