I got a package of 5 sessions for about $298.....I hire a trainer once every 6 months or so to get support, motivation and new workouts.

He could of got certified has one for less than that. Of course he would of had to study hard.

One site i looked at to write an exam it was like $600 or $700 and the textbook was $70 i believe. You pass your a certified PT. I could be wrong but that's what i got from the site. No in house instruction either all home study but you might have to travel to take the exam.

It varies, based on locations, studios, knowledge, etc...

You're only 15, so I would check around your area and try to find a youth performance specialist, they work routines around the fact that you're body is still growing and needs to meet certain criteria, which is knowledge that you won't usually find in a basic CPT.

I used to work at a private studio which also had a youth trainer and her going rate was $70/hr which progressively got lower if you signed up for more sessions, but like I said, prices have way too many variables and the best thing for you is to search around your neighborhood.

At least where I live, many of the gyms let you pay per workout with a trainer, and it's usually around $25 for the 30 minute workout.

Actually for a GOOD trainer that price is not bad at all. 45 hands-on sessions is really a lot.

$25 upwards to $125 or more depending on the experience and background of the trainer, the gym/facility (some will train you at your house). Geographic loction is a big portion too, for ex. on the west coast (where I worked before here) you'll probably be paying more than in the midwest, etc. Also usually if you do a package deal (buy more than one session) it's cheaper... or if you do semi-private (train with a friend at the same time) it can also bring the cost down.

ALWAYS check on the credentials and background of the trainer. I say it's worth it to pay more for someone who has the credentials and experience... it is your body, after all.
