At this time of year, prioritising health often means evaluating your options for fitness services. Many people start with a commercial gym membership due to their low upfront costs, only to realise later that these savings can come with hidden expenses and limited value.
So, why is Hall Personal Training different – and why are we worth the investment? Let’s break it down.
Let’s address the most obvious point: We are more expensive than your average gym. A standard commercial gym might cost you around £10 per week however, this price only covers gym access. Our initial six-week programme, while more expensive (at £100 per week), offers a comprehensive package that goes far beyond your basic gym membership.
On the surface, commercial gyms seem like a great deal. Memberships typically cost around £40 per month (or £10 per week). However, the reality for most people often looks very different:
At Hall Personal Training, we take a holistic approach to your health and fitness, offering a structured programme that guarantees results:
Our popular 6-week program costs £600 (£100 per week) but includes everything you need to ensure you succeed. After completing the programme, ongoing membership becomes even more affordable, between £60 – £90 per week. This ongoing commitment could prove significantly more cost-effective than the sporadic gym attendance and additional trainer costs associated with a regular gym membership. It also ensures continuous motivation and support – proven to be the top drivers of behind your success.
Let’s break it down:

2. Hall Personal Training Costs:
The Difference:
Choosing a commercial gym with a personal trainer costs +45% more per month than our services. Not only are we more affordable, but we also includescomprehensive support like nutrition plans, weekly check-ins, and a money-back guarantee – all designed to help you succeed without hidden fees.
Choosing between us and a commercial gym depends on your individual needs, goals, and budget. While our initial investment is higher, our comprehensive package – expert coaching, accountability, and a proven system – delivers far more value than a few weeks of sporadic PT sessions or unused gym memberships. Instead of scattered costs and seeing inconsistent results, you get everything you need in one place, maximizing your chances for long-term success.
It may be worth reading a prevous post we did on: Should I join a gym ore a hire a personal trainer? Pros and Cons of both.
It’s also worth considering your long-term commitment to fitness and your likelihood of sticking to a programme when making your decision.
Ultimately, which option represents better value for your money?
