Five honest options if you want live 1-on-1 coaching with a published price and no smart gym to buy.
Full disclosure: HipTrain wrote this page, and we're the first option on the list. So yes, we have a stake in it. Every fact about other companies comes from what they publish on their own sites, and the sources are at the end.
FORME offers live 1:1 personal training through its app and on its FORME Studio and FORME Lift smart gyms. As of October 2026, FORME's main site leads with that hardware for "residential, hospitality, and commercial fitness settings," and its Studio and Lift pages say "Contact Sales" rather than listing a price. Its help center describes a $49 a month membership with its on-demand class library, and says live 1:1 sessions cost extra. We couldn't find the live training price on FORME's public pages. So people look around for a few structural reasons: they want a published price, they don't want a smart gym, or they want to pay with HSA or FSA funds. If you own a FORME Studio or Lift and like your trainer, staying may make the most sense. We cover that below too.
HipTrain is live, 1-on-1 personal training over video, like FORME's live 1:1 sessions, but with no hardware to buy. You book a time, join from your phone, tablet or computer, and your coach trains you in real time, watching your form and adjusting as you go. It's the same coach every session, and you can switch anytime. Thirty-minute plans cost $59.49, $119.99 or $179.99 a month (about $14 a session). Sixty-minute plans cost $109.99, $219.99 or $319.99 a month (about $25 a session). No gym or equipment is needed. Your first session is free with no credit card, and HipTrain is HSA / FSA eligible.
"I've been training with Felipe for about 3 months, and I can tell a difference in my abs and overall fitness. Felipe pushes me beyond what I'd do on my own, but is still considerate of my age (70's) and limitations." (Carole N., Google review)
Where we're not the right fit: we don't sell smart gym hardware, we don't advertise nutrition coaching or a big on-demand library, and we don't offer in-person sessions. We have a small coach roster and 29 App Store ratings, a small sample, much like FORME's 42. More in HipTrain vs FORME.
Best for: people who want a live coach with a clear monthly price and nothing to install.
Bespoke Fit offers live 1-on-1 video training with a "Same dedicated coach," on one unlimited plan. Sessions are "typically 45 to 60 minutes." It costs $49 for the first month, then $299 a month for its 25 founding members, and $499 a month for everyone after that. You need a device with a camera, and your coach builds around whatever equipment you have, including smart gyms. There's no contract and a 30-day money-back guarantee. It doesn't mention HSA or FSA.

Best for: people who want to train live four or more times a week for one flat price.
Echelon Coach (formerly FlexIt) offers live 1-on-1 video sessions of 30, 45 or 60 minutes. Monthly plans for four 60-minute sessions cost $328 ($82 each), and four 30-minute sessions cost $164 ($41 each), with a 2-month minimum. You can also pay as you go, and new members can try a first 30-minute session for $5. Your package works with any trainer on its platform, and you can book nutritionists and other listed specialists too. It says you "may be able" to pay with HSA or FSA and asks you to call.

Best for: people who want to mix trainers and specialists.
Trainwell gives you a dedicated trainer who builds and updates a workout plan in its app. You talk "via text, video messages, and live calls," but you do the workouts on your own time. It costs $149 a month, billed in 3-month increments, after a 14-day free trial that starts with a 40-minute call. Trainwell says you "may be eligible" for HSA or FSA reimbursement.

Best for: people who want a trainer's plan without booking live sessions.
Peloton Personal Trainer is powered by Trainwell. A trainer builds weekly plans from Peloton classes and custom workouts, with unlimited messaging and video check-ins. Workouts are done on your own schedule, not live. It's $99.99 a month, billed by Trainwell, on top of a Peloton All-Access ($49.99) or App+ ($28.99) membership, with a 14-day free trial. It's a limited beta with a waitlist, on iOS only. More in HipTrain vs Peloton Personal Trainer.
Best for: Peloton members who want a trainer to plan their week.
