Los Angeles’ personal trainers offer an incredible range of specialized services to fit your demanding schedule and specific fitness objectives. To cut through the noise and find the perfect coach - whether you're on the Westside, in the Valley, or Downtown - it’s crucial to detail what you're aiming for. Types of personal trainers include, but are not limited to:

Private Personal Training


Get the focused attention of a dedicated private trainer with a plan customized for your unique goals. Many fitness coaches can come directly to your home, apartment gym, or even meet you at the beach or a local park. Make sure to specify if you’re looking for an in-home personal trainer in LA.

Online Personal Training


For the busy Angeleno, flexibility is everything. We can connect you with top-tier online personal trainers who bring expert coaching directly to you. Online personal trainers are often cheaper too, so a virtual coach could be a great option if you’re on a budget.

Strength & Resistance Training

Weight Management Programs


Exercise is a powerful tool, and many trainers combine physical coaching with practical nutrition advice to achieve sustainable results. When outlining your needs, mention you're looking to hire a trainer for weight loss or a coach who integrates personal training and nutrition.

Sport-Specific Conditioning


Training for the LA Marathon? Gain a competitive edge with conditioning designed for your sport. Enhance your speed, power, and agility to outperform the competition, all while reducing your risk of injury.

Senior Fitness Programs


Stay active and independent to enjoy everything the city has to offer. Find a personal trainer specializing in senior fitness to help maintain vitality, improve balance, and build strength for daily life. Be sure to include your age when detailing your needs to find a coach who understands your unique requirements.

Pre/Postnatal Fitness


Navigate your pregnancy and postpartum journey with confidence. Our certified pre and postnatal fitness specialists provide expert, safe guidance on staying active during pregnancy and effectively rebuilding core strength postpartum.

FAQs about finding a PT in Los Angeles

How much does a personal trainer cost in LA?

According to Bark data from the Pacific region, a personal training session costs between $55 and $89. This cost of hiring a PT in Los Angeles will be influenced by factors such as the specific neighborhood, the instructor's credentials, and whether the session is private, group-based, or online. Further details can be found in our detailed guide on the cost of fitness coaches in 2025.

Is a personal trainer in LA worth the cost?

In an expensive city like Los Angeles, it's a fair question. The biggest benefits of hiring a gym trainer, whether you're new to fitness or a seasoned pro, are accountability, motivation, and personalization.

If you’re planning on private training sessions, your workouts will be personalized to your own goals and current fitness level. This means you’ll likely see better and faster results than you would from joining large fitness classes or following a generic plan online.

For those new to fitness or worried about getting injured, a personal trainer is an invaluable asset. They will teach you proper form and technique, giving immediate feedback to correct your posture and ensure every movement is precise. If you have any existing injuries or medical conditions, be sure to mention them so you can be matched with an appropriately qualified trainer who understands your needs.

What certifications and qualifications should I look for?

A reputable trainer must be certified. Look for certifications from accredited organizations. The most respected in the US are:

  • NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine)

  • ACE (American Council on Exercise)

  • ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine)

  • NSCA (National Strength and Conditioning Association) - particularly the CSCS (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist) for athletes.

How often should I have PT sessions?

The answer really depends on your budget and goals. Some people will see their personal trainer once a week to stay accountable, supplementing those sessions with hikes in the canyons, runs along the beach, or classes at their favorite studio. Others, aiming for a major transformation, will train with the support of a coach for every single workout. Specifying your ideal frequency and schedule will help you find the right personal trainer for you.
