People book them to break a plateau, learn free-weight lifting properly, stay accountable through a busy season of life, or train around a health condition with guidance from their doctor or physio.
OneBookPlus lets you compare personal trainers by specialty, price and location, read reviews from long-term clients and book a first session online instantly. Check who trains at your gym, outdoors nearby or in your home, see session and pack pricing upfront, and find a trainer whose approach actually matches your goals.

List your business, freeHow to choose a good Personal Trainer
- Check for a Certificate III and IV in Fitness, the standard qualification for personal trainers in Australia, plus current first aid and CPR.
- Registration with AUSactive is voluntary but signals ongoing professional development and insurance; ask whether they hold it.
- Confirm professional indemnity and public liability insurance, especially for trainers working in parks or your home.
- Look for specialty experience matching your goal, whether pre- and post-natal, strength sports, older adults or weight management.
- Ask for client results and reviews spanning six months or more; anyone can supervise a hard workout once.
- Check session length, pack pricing and the cancellation window before buying a block of sessions.
Questions to ask before you book
- What qualifications and insurance do you hold, and are you registered with AUSactive?
- Have you trained clients with my goal or condition before, and what results did they get?
- What does a typical program look like for me, and will I get sessions to do on my own?
- What is your cancellation policy, and what happens to unused sessions in a pack if I stop?
- Where do we train, and are gym access or park fees included in your rate?
What does a personal trainer cost in Australia?
Expect $50 to $90 for a 45 to 60 minute one-on-one session in most suburbs, and $90 to $150 with experienced trainers in capital city CBDs. Thirty-minute sessions run $35 to $60, and small-group training $20 to $40 per person. Packs of ten sessions usually discount 5 to 15 per cent. Some gyms add floor fees on top. GST is generally included in quoted rates from registered trainers, and prices vary widely with experience and location.
Frequently asked questions
What qualifications should a personal trainer have?
The Australian industry standard is a Certificate III in Fitness for group instruction and a Certificate IV to work as a personal trainer, plus current first aid and CPR. Many also hold degrees in exercise science. Registration with AUSactive is voluntary but confirms qualifications and insurance are current, so it is a useful shortcut when comparing trainers.
How many PT sessions a week do I need?
Most people see solid progress with one or two coached sessions weekly plus self-directed training in between. Complete beginners often start with two weekly sessions for the first month or two to build technique. Once you can execute your program confidently, many clients drop to weekly or fortnightly check-ins to manage cost.
Can a personal trainer help with injuries or health conditions?
Trainers can work with cleared clients but cannot diagnose or treat injuries; that is the territory of AHPRA-registered physiotherapists or accredited exercise physiologists. A good trainer will ask for medical clearance, communicate with your physio and adjust programming. Be wary of anyone promising to fix pain themselves.
Is outdoor or in-home training cheaper than a gym PT?
Often slightly, because the trainer avoids gym floor fees, though travel time can offset that for in-home sessions. Councils in some areas charge commercial permits for park training, which established outdoor trainers build into rates. Equipment is more limited outdoors, which suits general fitness and conditioning better than dedicated strength goals.
Are session packs or ongoing weekly billing better?
Packs suit people testing a new trainer, with discounts of 5 to 15 per cent, but check the expiry date and refund terms for unused sessions. Weekly direct debits reward consistency and are easier to budget, but confirm the notice period to stop. Never buy a large pack before completing at least two or three sessions.
