Are you interested in hiring a personal trainer in San Francisco and wondering: “How much does personal trainer cost in the Bay Area/San Francisco?” In this post I will answer this question and provide real life examples with links.
The short answer: $50-$200 per hour.
With such a large range in the cost of personal training, you’re probably wondering: “What’s the difference between a trainer who charges $50 vs $200?” Here are some of the factors that determine how much a person trainer charges in SF:
1. Location. If your trainer works in a central location in the city, they are paying more overhead for their space, and they will need to charge more to cover that overhead. Similarly, if a trainer works on zoom from home, outdoors, or from home they *might* charge less, although not necessarily. I know trainers who train on zoom and still charge $200 per hour.
2. Demand For Their Services. If a trainer is in high demand (for any reason) they are likely to increase their prices. Popularity pays.
3. Expertise And Education. Some trainers invest a lot of money in continuing education workshops, massage therapy, or nutrition trainings. These trainers may charge more because they have higher levels of education. A caveat – just because a trainer charges more does NOT, however, necessarily mean they are more educated.
4. Packages/Memberships. Some trainers will offer discounts when you pay for multiple sessions up front.
Personal trainers help clients with many goals. Here are some reasons you might be searching for a personal trainer:
It is my opinion that if your goals are mostly in alignment with 1-5, there may be many different trainers at various price points that can help you reach those goals. If your goals are more in alignment with 6-8, you might consider a trainer at a higher price point, and ask about their credentials and what makes them different.
That said, if you’re most interested in goals 1-5 and you find a trainer at a higher price point who you really like, go for it. You should enjoy your personal training experience.
Thumbtack – $50-$100 per hour. Thumbtack is the easiest place to find personal trainers at a low cost. Many trainers are also offering remote services via zoom.
CustomFit SF – $100-$130 per hour. Private, boutique gym offering personal training and other services in San Francisco.
J+K Fitness Studio – $110-$120 per hour.
Equinox – $125-$175 per hour (last time I checked).
Diakadi Life – $110-$180 per hour. Proudly displays “San Francisco’s Best Gym” title.
Sebastian’s Functional Fitness – $165 per hour. Solo personal trainer offering 1v1 training and group classes.
I charge $120 per drop in hour, and offer various memberships and packages for personal training as well. I charge $120 because I believe it’s very competitive with the marketplace, and my extensive trainings and certifications allow me to offer a high level of service and customization.
