Personal trainers charge $50-$150 per hour, but that fee covers way more than the session itself: emails, texts, program design, nutrition planning, and constant study. Shift from hourly billing to charging for outcomes and the full package of what it takes to get results.
The final word on professionally selling as a PT, and just some notes, is that personal training is one of the very few professions where you can charge a very good fee for your time, you know, in the vicinity of upward of $50, $60, $70, $80, $100, $150 per hour. And I just wanted to reiterate that the mistake that trainers make is they look at that hourly fee of that they're getting, you know, if it's $100 an hour, that they, they got it for that hour. And The truth is they didn't, right? That hourly fee that you charge is also going to encompass their emails, text messages, getting back to them, being prompt, your study and learning. It's going to encompass a whole lot of things like the overdeliver, your, your value adds in the session. So don't forget that when you're charging for PT and you're charging as a program. That's why I like to recommend don't think of the hour, think of the outcome, charges the outcome because you're still writing the program, you're still doing the nutrition. And understand that that hourly fee isn't just for the hour, it's for that client to get that result. So final word on professionally selling as a PT: think about the outcome, not the hour.
