Personal training costs in Naples (Southwest Florida) vary widely.  Rates depend on where you train and who your trainer is.  In general, most trainers charge $40–$100 per hour.  Nationally, the average rate is about $55–65/hour.  Florida’s average is even higher – roughly $66/hour – reflecting the state’s abundance of fitness professionals (trainwithkickoff.com).  Key factors include:

• Trainer experience & certifications: Top-tier trainers (advanced degrees/certs) charge at the high end.
• Session length & packages: Most trainers bill by the hour.  Shorter 30–45 min sessions usually use a proportional rate.  Buying sessions in bulk (5-pack, 10-pack, etc.) typically lowers the per-session cost.
• Location & convenience: Big gyms in Naples (LA Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness, etc.) often charge less per session but require a membership; mobile trainers who come to your home or park can charge more to cover travel.
• Gym membership & amenities: Remember that training at a chain gym usually requires a separate membership fee (often $25–40/month) on top of trainer fees.  Boutique gyms or independent trainers typically don’t require a separate membership.
• Equipment & extras: Trainers who bring specialized gear (battle ropes, sleds, etc.) or offer extra comforts (cold towels, tech tracking) may add fees.

By examining these factors, you can compare quotes more fairly.  Below we break down pricing in three common categories of personal training in Naples.

Big-Box Gym Personal Trainers

Large chain gyms (LA Fitness, Bally Total Fitness, Naples Family Fitness, etc.) offer in-house personal trainers. These trainers usually charge by the session or in packages.  Although chains don’t publicly list rates, industry sources estimate $40–$100 per hour for gym-based trainers.  For example, LA Fitness doesn’t post exact prices, but one guide notes that its trainers’ costs align with the industry norm of about $50–75 per hour.

Most big gyms require you to hold an active membership (around $25–$40/month.  In practice, you might pay a moderate membership fee plus trainer fees.  Gym trainers often sell session bundles (5, 10, or 20 sessions at a time) to reduce the per-session price.  For instance, a 20-session package might bring the rate down to $60–$65 per session.  Many gyms even include a free intro session or fitness assessment to get you started.

Pros: Access to full gym facilities (weight and cardio machines, pools, etc.) and a potentially large trainer staff so you can find a match.  Cons: Less individualized attention; sessions can feel rushed if the gym is busy.  You’ll be in an open gym environment (no private suites), and ongoing membership dues add to the total cost.

Independent / Traveling Personal Trainers

Independent (or “mobile”) trainers work on their own, often meeting clients at homes, parks, or outdoor spots.  In Naples, you might see trainers conducting workouts on the beach, at home pools, or neighborhood parks.  Because these trainers come to you, they often charge at the higher end of the range – commonly $60–$120 per hour – to cover travel and the convenience factor.  (In fact, one source notes that mobile trainer costs “hinge on factors specific to you,” meaning rates vary widely.)

With an independent trainer, you have great flexibility: you can schedule sessions outside normal gym hours, and the entire session is focused on you.  On the downside, you usually must provide the workout space and sometimes equipment (the trainer may bring mats or bands, but heavy gear like weights often isn’t mobile).  If a trainer does lug their own equipment, they might charge extra for the effort.  Pricing is generally all-inclusive, though some will break out travel fees.  It’s wise to compare quotes carefully and ask if things like travel time or equipment use are added.

Pros: Ultimate one-on-one attention and scheduling flexibility; no gym needed.  Cons: Typically pricier per hour; less variety of equipment (unless purchased separately); no group camaraderie.

Private Studio / Boutique Personal Training (e.g. Galaxy Fit Lab)

Boutique personal training studios like Galaxy Fit Lab offer a premium experience.  These are small, private gyms focused on personal training (sometimes with small group classes) rather than general membership.  Galaxy Fit Lab in North Naples, for example, operates out of a private studio with highly experienced trainers.  Their pricing is transparent: $99 for a single 60-minute personal training session (galaxyfitlab.com), with package deals ($1,896 for 24 sessions, which is about $79/session).  That works out to about $79–$99 per session, which is competitive with the upper end of big-gym rates but comes with extra value.

Studio trainers often have advanced certifications and tailor every plan meticulously.  At Galaxy Fit Lab, all trainers are “educated with years of experience”.  You get amenities that big gyms typically lack: private workout suites (no waiting for equipment), fresh towels, and a focused atmosphere.  Many clients note the difference in attention and encouragement.  If you prefer a quiet, personalized environment, a boutique studio can be worth a bit more.  Still, Galaxy Fit Lab’s per-session rate is on par with many gyms once you factor in quality.

Studio Benefits: Customized programs and progress tracking; small class sizes (max 4 people) if you join group sessions; a clean, modern facility; and no extra membership fee. Galaxy Fit Lab even provides perks like cold towels and full accountability.

Studio Pricing Example: At Galaxy Fit Lab, you pay only for training time (no hidden dues).  A single session is $99, but buying 12 or 24 sessions drops the per-hour cost to $89 or $79 respectively.  These rates are similar to or better than big-box gyms when quality is considered.

Choosing the Right Option

Every trainer type has trade-offs.  Big gyms give you equipment access and convenience if you already workout there, but you might sacrifice privacy.  Independent trainers come to you and are very flexible, but expect to pay extra for that convenience.  Boutique studios (like Galaxy Fit Lab) sit in between: you get a private gym experience without a club membership, at prices comparable to chain gyms.

Galaxy Fit Lab in particular prides itself on delivering “the best personal training Naples, FL has to offer” (galaxyfitlab.com) at a competitive price.  With Galaxy Fit Lab you’re paying essentially the same as a big gym for each session (roughly $79–99/hr) but getting a more personalized service.  Their Master Trainer’s studio emphasizes education, accountability, and enjoyment – from tech-backed meal plans to high-end equipment.
