What is personal training?

Short answer

Personal training is exercise with personal guidance: the trainer tailors the workout to your goal, level, and situation and corrects you live. It can be 1-on-1, as a duo, or in a small group, at a gym, in a studio, outdoors, at home, or online. On TrainerLink, you can compare trainers, prices, and reviews before booking.

What to expect

  • The trainer works from your goals, experience, and availability rather than following a standard class.
  • During the session, the trainer watches you and corrects your technique, pace, and load; the plan changes as you progress.
  • Sessions can be 1-on-1, duo, or group. The location may be a gym, studio, outdoors, at your location, or online; the service states which format applies.

How to get started

  1. Open the trainer overview or a city page.

  2. Filter by specialisation, location, session format, hourly price, and availability.

  3. View profiles, services, public prices, and verified reviews.
  4. Schedule an intake or first session with the trainer who fits you best.
