How to pick a personal trainer here
The trainers at Fitness Haus work for themselves, so rates and styles differ from one to the next. What that means, and how to find the one who suits you.

Personal training
Coached, not counted
Personal training at Fitness Haus: the session lengths on offer, what a first consultation covers, and how to get started with a coach.
How long a session runs
Session lengths
The trainers here work for themselves rather than for the gym. That means rates and availability vary between them, which is the point: there is a range to suit different budgets rather than one price everybody pays. The first session is free and the manager will match you with somebody.
Thirty minutes
Rate set by your trainer
A focused session on one thing: a lift you want to fix, or a short hard block when time is the constraint. Enough to be coached properly, short enough to do before work.
Sixty minutes
Rate set by your trainer
A full session: warm-up, the work, and enough time to be coached through it rather than counted through it. The usual choice if you are starting from scratch or coming back from an injury.
The first time
What happens before any weight moves
- 1
A conversation first. What you want out of it, what you have done before, and anything that hurts or has hurt. Nobody puts a bar in your hands before that.
- 2
Then a look at where you are starting from. That can include a body composition scan and a check of how you move, which is more useful than a number on its own.
- 3
You leave with a plan you understand and a next session in the diary, or with a clearer idea of where to start on your own. Both are a fine outcome.
The first session is free. Book it through the manager or the front desk and they will match you with a trainer who suits what you are after.
- Body composition scanWhere your weight actually is, rather than what the bathroom scale says. Useful mostly as a starting point to measure against later.
- Movement and posture checkHow you move before anybody loads it. The point is to find the thing that will hurt in six weeks and deal with it now.
