Rates range from $50-$120/session for one-on-one training. Package deals (10-20 sessions) reduce the per-session cost by 10-20%. Online coaching is cheaper at $150-$400/month. Group training runs $20-$40 per person per session.

Most people benefit from 2-3 sessions per week when starting out. As you learn proper form and develop habits, you can reduce to 1-2 sessions and train independently the other days. Your trainer will recommend a frequency based on your goals.

Look for nationally recognized certifications: CSEP-CPT (Canadian standard), NSCA-CPT, ACE, or NASM. Specialized trainers may have additional certs in areas like pre/postnatal, senior fitness, or sports performance. Ask to see their certification.

You can train yourself, but a trainer provides: proper form to prevent injury, accountability, progressive programming, and faster results. Consider a trainer if you're a beginner, recovering from injury, hitting a plateau, or training for a specific goal.

Your first session typically includes a fitness assessment (measurements, movement screening, strength/cardio baseline), goal discussion, health history review, and an introductory workout. Wear comfortable clothes and bring water. Most sessions are 45-60 minutes.
