If you're looking for a personal trainer in Brussels, the first question is always the same: how much does it cost? The honest answer is — it depends. But not the vague kind of "it depends" meant to dodge the question. The price moves according to a few precise factors, and once you understand them, you know exactly what you're paying for and why. Here's what to know before you get out your card.
In Brussels, one-on-one coaching generally runs between €35 and €50 per hour with an experienced independent coach. The range is wide because a trainer just out of certification working inside a gym and an experienced independent coach who comes to you don't charge the same thing — and don't deliver the same thing either.
There are three main formats. A single session is the most expensive per hour, with no commitment. A package (say 10 sessions) lowers the per-session price and is the most common option. A monthly plan gives you a set number of sessions each month at a preferential rate — ideal if you train regularly.
Four things move the number more than anything else:
If your budget is tight or your schedule is unpredictable — very common in Brussels given the EU institutions and frequent work travel — online coaching is usually meaningfully cheaper than in-person. You get your program, your form-correction videos, your nutrition follow-up and regular contact.
It works very well for someone who's autonomous. It works less well if you need your posture corrected in real time — there, in-person stays unbeatable for the first few weeks. Many of my clients start in person to build the basics, then move to a hybrid or online setup once their technique is solid.
Here's the classic trap: pick the cheapest coach, see no results in three months, and start over somewhere else. You've now paid twice.
Good coaching is an investment measured in results per euro spent, not in the advertised price of a session. Someone who reaches their goal in four months with a €50 coach spent their money better than someone who plateaus for a year at €30. The session looked cheaper. The outcome wasn't.
Before you compare prices, compare what's actually inside the price. A serious coaching offer includes:
If a coach only sells "the hour" with nothing around it, the low price makes sense — and so does the result. For more on choosing the right coach, see my guide on how to find a personal trainer in Brussels as an expat.
At Bahri Performance, one-on-one coaching starts at €35 and goes up to €50 per session, depending on the format, the frequency and the location.

And the coaching adapts to your daily life: I travel to you, I train clients in the gym, I have my own equipped space at home, and I also coach online. For packages, monthly plans and duo sessions I put together a personalised quote based on your goal and your budget — a first conversation is enough to lock in the right format.
