Personal Trainer List

Budget

Personal training rates in Singapore typically range from $50 to $180 per session, depending on your goals, the trainer's experience, and the training location. Some packages also include meal planning and nutrition guidance, which can increase the cost.

Basic Goals ($50 - $80)

If your goal is to improve general fitness, lose some weight, or enhance cardiovascular health, you may only need simple guidance on bodyweight and functional training. This entry-level support is more budget-friendly.

Average Goals ($80 - $120)

To build muscle, achieve a V-shaped physique, or improve toning, you’ll need a trainer who can tailor strength and cardio routines. These intermediate programs demand more expertise and planning.

Advanced Goals ($120 - $180)

Advanced personal training is for serious transformation — whether it’s improving your health significantly or preparing for a competition. This level involves careful supervision, often paired with meal planning and health monitoring.

a. Obese & over 40: Your trainer may need to review your medical reports and adjust your routine to prevent overstraining your heart or joints.

b. Stage/photo prep: For fitness models or actors, trainers work closely with dietitians to create strict workout and diet plans based on macronutrient manipulation.

A beginner working toward basic goals will likely spend less. As your goals become more ambitious, and your baseline fitness increases, you'll need more personalized and intensive sessions — which drives up costs.
