FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My quoted price rate on Thumbtack of $110/session corresponds to my monthly subscription for up to 8 premium personal training sessions per month. Seeing a personal training at least 2x/week (8x/month) will provide the best results. This can be prorated depending on when you start training in the month. Otherwise, clients may purchase packages of "x" amount of sessions to use up within 3 months or discounted premium snd standard monthly subscriptions of "x" amount of sessions to use up within a month. Depending on several factors (at-home training vs gym training, training frequency, premium personal training vs personal training, etc), personal training rates will range between $70-$135. Please see attached images for more details.
