What Personal Training Costs in Liverpool, And What You’re Really Paying For

If you’ve looked into personal training around Liverpool, you’ve probably seen prices ranging from £20 to £80+ per session.

So what’s the difference, and more importantly, what are you actually paying for?

At The Lab, we offer both 1-to-1 Personal Training and Small Group Personal Training (SGPT), and in this post, we’ll break down the typical price ranges, what value looks like, and how to find the right fit for your goals.

Typical Price Ranges in Liverpool

Here's how things generally stack up in the city, including where we sit at The Lab.

At The Lab, our SGPT and 1-to-1 coaching both sit comfortably within the typical Liverpool ranges, but with more support and structure than many alternatives. Our SGPT model gives you access to multiple coaching sessions per week for what many pay for a single 1-to-1 session elsewhere. Our 1-to-1 memberships scale based on how often you train each week, with flexible options available.

What You’re Really Paying For

At The Lab, we sit in that sweet spot, mid-tier pricing with high-touch coaching. Whether you choose SGPT or 1-to-1, the value is in the detail, structure, and support.

Personal training isn’t just about time in the session, it’s about what happens around it too.

Whether you choose 1-to-1 or SGPT, you're investing in:

• ✅ A progressive, structured training plan (not random workouts)

• ✅ Real-time form coaching + intent-focused training

• ✅ Accountability through check-ins, feedback, and support

• ✅ Access to tools like TrueCoach to track and adjust your plan

• ✅ Optional nutrition guidance based on your goals

It’s not about reps, it’s about results.

SGPT vs 1-to-1: What’s the Difference?

Small Group Personal Training (SGPT):

• Individualised programme, delivered in a small group (max 6)

• Still coached in every session

• More training frequency for a lower price point

• Great for those who want structure and momentum without the full 1-to-1 cost

1-to-1 Personal Training:

• Same quality of coaching, but in a fully private environment

• Great for highly specific goals, post-injury work, or new clients who prefer undivided attention

• Ideal if you want to train solo with a coach’s eyes on every rep

Both options at The Lab offer structure, feedback, and progression. The key difference? Your preferred setup.

How to Know What’s Right for You

There’s no single “best” approach, it depends on:

• Your training experience

• Your preference for group vs private environment

• Your budget and how often you want to train

• Your confidence in the gym (we help with that either way)

We have members in both options, and some who move between them as their needs change.

Final Thoughts

Whether you go 1-to-1 or SGPT, personal training should never just be about the price.

It should be about the coaching, consistency, and confidence it helps you build.
