Cost of personal trainers

[Anonymous]

I know it's different depending on the amount of time or if you purchase a package or the type of training...but just wanted a sense of the range. I checked Somafit and it's $86/hour and $47/half an hour. 10 session packs are a bit cheaper. Is that exorbitant or is that typical?

I haven't done personal training since 2007 but at WSC they were having a special and I bought a 10 pack for I think about $60 each session? Then I would buy 5 packs and they were probably 65-70 a session.

This does not get you the "top" trainer but my trainer totally kicked my ass and I met my goals so I was really happy.

To me those sessions you quoted sound expensive - per session that may be the cost but it should go down when you buy multiple sessions. Can you wait until they have a special?

It's probably not that expensive, I just feel like this in the recession I've noticed WSC has all these crazy deals to get people to still do training and still join a gym, etc. They even offer 30 minute sessions now, I assume because they need to slash prices.
