How personal trainers should price their sessions
Setting the right rate is one of the most important business decisions you make as a PT — and most trainers get the method wrong.
Work backwards from your income target
Most PTs set a rate based on what they think clients will accept, then hope the income adds up. The more reliable method is the reverse: decide what monthly income you need, then calculate the rate required to hit it at your realistic session volume. This calculator does that calculation for you.
Session volume has a ceiling — rate does not
A full-time PT can deliver roughly 15–25 sessions per week before quality and sustainability suffer. Once you're near capacity, the only lever left to grow income is your rate. Raising your rate by £10 per session adds over £4,000 per year at 20 sessions per week across 48 weeks — with zero additional time.
Account for weeks you don't work
Planning income based on 52 weeks produces targets you won't hit. Holidays, bank holidays, illness, and quieter periods typically reduce a realistic working year to 44–48 weeks. Using an honest figure here gives you a session rate that actually covers your income in practice.
Your rate signals your positioning
Clients judge quality partly through pricing. A rate that's significantly below market raises questions rather than filling your books faster. If the calculator produces a rate that feels uncomfortably high, check your session volume assumption — you may be overestimating how many clients you'll see consistently.
