The Cost of a Personal Trainer per Hour in Germany and What Personal Training Costs in Other Countries

Once you've decided to do something for your fitness and invest in your health (e.g., losing weight, building muscle, improving overall fitness), the question arises where and how to actually find a suitable personal trainer. You have several options:

1. Personal training at a gym
2. External support from a personal trainer from your gym
3. Find a suitable personal trainer online

A convenient way to find a personal trainer is through your gym. I see motivated clients there every day – some need to be motivated first – training diligently with a trainer employed by the gym to achieve their goals. For some, this may be a suitable option. Here are some pros and cons:

• Pro: Qualified trainer, you already know them, good equipment available
• Con: Higher price, usually indoor

As an alternative, you can also ask a trainer at the gym if they would be willing to train you outside the gym. From my experience, many trainers are open to this. Some trainers even officially run a small personal training agency to earn some extra income.

• Pro: Qualified trainer, you already know them, flexible times, outdoor training possible
• Con: Some effort, not all training equipment available as in the gym

The third option is to search online. There are numerous websites that make it easy and quick to find a suitable trainer. You can filter by your training goals, location, or prices.

• Pro: Sometimes very cheap, easy & quick search, flexible times, outdoor training possible, training via webcam possible
• Con: Qualifications not always guaranteed, no personal contact beforehand, not all training equipment available as in the gym

This is how you can significantly reduce the costs of personal training

The costs of a personal trainer are a main reason why many ultimately decide to train on their own in the gym instead of hiring a personal trainer to get fit and healthy. However, there are various ways to significantly reduce the costs for one hour of personal training.

Many trainers offer you a bulk discount. For example, if you book 10 hours of personal training, you will get a lower price per hour than if you only book one hour. Other fitness trainers may offer you a free hour when booking 10 hours or provide a free check-up. Just ask various personal trainers and choose a suitable offer.

Grab a friend and train together with a personal trainer. While most fitness trainers charge a slightly higher price for two people, you can significantly reduce costs by splitting the price between the two of you. In addition to much more fun and motivation than training alone, you will still receive intensive and personal support.

Simply ask your health insurance if they support you in your goal of becoming fitter & healthier. Increasingly, they offer you a subsidy or partial coverage – often very limited (e.g., max. 100 € or max. hours per year).

Another ideal way to train cost-effectively with a qualified fitness trainer is to combine a vacation abroad with a fitness program and a personal trainer. A fitness trip is perfect for a "kickstart" to a better YOU. Not only can you complete a variety of personal training sessions in a very short time, but you can also focus entirely on yourself, your training, and your goals without the distractions of everyday life. And the best part is that the costs for a personal trainer abroad are often significantly lower.
In addition to personal training in a hotel gym or an external gym, an intense 1:1 workout on the beach is, of course, recommended. Enjoy the sun, train on the beach, and get fit on vacation.
As a reward for your hard work, you can of course jump into the refreshing sea after your training and completely relax on the beach :)
