If you’ve ever looked into getting help with your fitness journey, you’ve probably noticed that coach prices are all over the place. From $30 fitness apps to online coaches who charge several hundred dollars a month, the options can be overwhelming. So, what exactly are you paying for, and how do you decide what’s right for you?

Let’s break down the three most common types of coaching and what you can expect in terms of both cost and value.

Fitness Apps: Affordable, but Not Personalized

For around $30 per month, you can download a fitness app that provides structured workout programs, video demonstrations, and tracking tools. These apps can be great for beginners who are self-motivated and looking for convenience at a low cost.

However, while the price is appealing, apps typically don’t offer personalized support. They can’t adjust your training plan when you’re sick, injured, or need extra recovery, and they don’t hold you accountable when motivation dips.

If you’re comfortable navigating workouts on your own and don’t need a coach checking in, an app might be a great starting point. But if you’re serious about long-term results or have specific goals, investing in personalized coaching may be worth the upgrade.

In-Person Coaching: Hands-On Guidance, Limited Time

The typical traditional in-person fitness coach costs $50–$100 per one-hour session. If you meet with a coach once a week, that comes out to about $200–$400 per month for only 4 hours of coaching!

The biggest benefit of in-person coaching is having a professional right there with you: adjusting your form, providing real-time feedback, and ensuring you’re performing exercises safely and effectively.

However, you’re generally only getting that one hour per week of support. The rest of your training, nutrition, and recovery planning is up to you. If you thrive on hands-on instruction but don’t need much between-session accountability, in-person coaching can be a good fit.

Online Coaching: Comprehensive, Personalized, and Flexible

Online coaching offers the best of both worlds—professional guidance and flexibility—without being tied to a physical location or limited to one session per week.

At Fitbliss Fitness, our online coaching programs range from $250 to $450/month, depending on your level of support and customization.

What sets online coaching apart is the ongoing, holistic approach. You’re not just getting a single hour in the gym, you’re getting:

• Customized workouts based on your goals, schedule, and available equipment.

• Personalized nutrition guidance to help you eat in a way that supports your body composition and performance.

• Accountability and communication through regular check-ins, progress tracking, and adjustments as your goals evolve.

• Access to a full support team, including a registered dietitian, physical therapist, and bloodwork analyst, ensuring your program supports your health on every level.

This level of personalization and continuous support is what makes online coaching such a powerful investment. You’re not just paying for workouts; you’re paying for expertise, strategy, and consistency.
