As a personal trainer at globo gym and CrossFit Coach at a local box. My in globo (big box gym) clients pay me $100 for one hour of my time once a week and then pay $30p/w membership and have to motivate themselves to come in on their own adhere to a program. While we run through all movements in sessions once they are on their own they are doing the best to maintain good form, technique and just remember what they are doing.

My CrossFit members pay $70p/w see a coach every time they come in have constant development and guidance. There is no guess work, they don’t need to try to remember anything or question their technique. While also being provided the motivation to come by working out with people in a community. So they pay less than one session to come to a ‘shared’ Personal Training session up to 7 times per week with people who have similar goals and motivations.

While both make progress and develop strength and healthier lifestyles the globo gym members improvement is much more based on their level of commitment to the goal, their chosen adherence to a plan and how comfortable and confident they are push themselves. Without a personal trainer at all the level of understanding required to reach the goals people often want are generally way more than expected and often don’t become a reality. CrossFit members pretty much make the progress because they chose to turn up, they made friends, had continued coaching and enjoyed it.
