Is 200 a month for a personal trainer good?

Gym FAQs › Personal training

Quick answer

€200 a month is a fair budget for personal training in Dublin, but it will usually cover only three or four one-to-one sessions. If you want to train with a coach more often for the same money, buddy training or Small Group Personal Training can give you more coached sessions each month.

What €200 buys in different formats

  • One-to-one personal training: around 3 sessions at €70 each
  • Buddy Training (2 on 1): about 4 sessions a month if you split €90 with a friend
  • Small Group Personal Training: 8 sessions for €160
  • Platinum Mix and Match: 8 Small Group Personal Training sessions plus 4 classes for €180

Is it good value?

Good value means the sessions get you results you would not get alone. A good trainer will assess you, set clear goals, write a progressive programme and check in on your progress. If you are getting all of that, €200 a month is well spent.
