Personal Trainer in Boksburg

45-60 minutes is standard for a full session. 30-minute sessions, usually priced at 60-70% of the hourly rate, work well for maintenance training, seniors, or a focused technique block — less well for a complete strength program.

Guaranteed weight-loss numbers, no health screening before your first workout, hard-selling supplements they profit from, pressure to prepay months of sessions, and inability to show certification or insurance. Any one of these is a reason to walk away.

Four things in writing: expiry date (12 weeks is fair for a 10-pack), freeze policy for illness or travel, refund terms for unused sessions, and whether the trainer you met actually delivers every session or hands you to a junior.

A standard 60-minute one-on-one session is priced per session, with most trainers offering 5-, 10- or 20-session packages that cut the per-session price by 10-20%. Mobile trainers who come to your home usually add 10-25% for travel.

Most one-on-one sessions run R200-R600, with R300-R400 typical in the big metros. Packages of 8-12 sessions per month usually bring the per-session rate down 10-20%.

Standard PT, no — but biokineticist sessions are claimable on many medical aid plans, and Discovery Vitality and similar programmes reward gym attendance with points and cashbacks. If rehab is the goal, the biokineticist route can cost you less net.
