When Should You Hire a Personal Fitness Coach or a Personal Trainer?

Updated: May 19

When Should You Hire a Personal Fitness Coach or a Personal Trainer?

First off, what is a personal fitness coach, and how are they different from a personal trainer? Admittedly there is some overlap between the two. Both are health & wellness professionals whom you can privately hire to help bring your personal fitness goals to life. Both will personalize your workouts based on your fitness goals, and both can offer personal training services at your home, a local park, or at a gym near you.


So, what’s the difference?

Most health & wellness professionals who switch the “trainer” pronoun in favor of the “coach” pronoun tend to also offer lifestyle advice along with their personal training services. This is including but is not limited to, nutritional advice, sleeping recommendations, monitoring alcohol use, regular check-ins, weigh-ins, and or body measurements, and other means of accountability.

That depends on how involved you want your personal trainer or personal fitness coach to be. It also depends on the personal training or personal fitness coach cost. The cost also depends on the city you are in. Most fitness coaches in Long Beach cost about the same as a personal trainer in Long Beach. In this case, all things are equal so you should choose the approach that feels right to you.
