Most sessions run for 30 to 60 minutes, including a warm-up and cool-down. Gym inductions are often shorter, at around half an hour.
A Level 2 fitness instructor can lead gym inductions and classes, while a Level 3 personal trainer designs individual programmes. Prices reflect the difference.
Yes. Group sessions cost far less per person and suit many beginners, though you get less individual attention. Many instructors run small groups of four to eight so they can still correct technique.
Gym or venue entry, equipment and nutrition plans are usually extra. If you train at a gym, check whether you need a membership as well as paying the instructor.
