Frequently asked questions
How much does a personal trainer cost in Montreal in 2026?
In Montreal, a private 1:1 session usually costs between $60 and $120, depending on the coach's experience and the studio. Online coaching ranges from about $80 to $200 per month, and app access is around $15 per month. Semi-private lowers the cost per person by splitting the rate among 2 to 4 participants.
Is it cheaper to train online or in person?
Online coaching is almost always cheaper than in-person sessions, because a coach can support more clients. For roughly $80 to $200 per month, you get a personalized program and follow-up. In person, expect that same amount per week. The right choice depends on how much hands-on guidance you need and your budget.
How many sessions per week do I need to see results?
For most goals, 2 to 3 coached sessions per week are enough to progress, especially when starting out. Many clients take 2 sessions with a coach and fill in with solo workouts. Consistency over several months matters more than the number of sessions per week.
Is a personal trainer covered by insurance in Quebec?
Personal trainer sessions are usually not reimbursed, but sessions with a kinesiologist may be covered by some group insurance plans. Check your coverage and ask for a receipt under the right professional title. Our guide on the topic walks through the steps.
