Crunch Fitness Personal Training: Cost, Contract and How to Cancel (2026)

Crunch sells personal training club by club and doesn't publish a national price. Here is what its own pages say about cost, contracts and cancelling.

If you're thinking about Crunch Fitness personal training, or you already have a package and want out, this guide is for you. It's written by HipTrain. We run live 1-on-1 personal training on video, from about $14 a session, which makes us one of your alternatives, so we've stuck to what Crunch publishes and linked every page at the bottom.

The short answer

Crunch doesn't publish a price for personal training. Its FAQ says pricing varies by location and trainer, and tells you to contact your club for rates. Crunch's FAQ refers to a personal training contract, with its own refund question, apart from its membership questions, and says there are "a few accepted reasons" for cancelling that contract and getting a refund. It doesn't say whether cancelling your membership ends that contract, so contact your home club and cancel each one in writing to be safe.

What Crunch Fitness personal training costs

We looked for any Crunch price for one-on-one training and found none. Here's what Crunch does say about cost:

Bark's latest U.S. dataPuts the average personal trainer at $50 to $90 a session (general, not Crunch)Checked November 2026

Two things stand out. First, Crunch describes its training as package-based. The same blog post says Crunch offers "flexible training packages that scale with your needs, rather than locking you into rigid long-term commitments." That's Crunch's own description, and the real terms are in the agreement your club hands you. Second, the dollar figures in that post are a general look at the trainer market, not a Crunch rate card. We haven't estimated a Crunch price, so ask your club for its rates.

A free first session does exist. Crunch says members can book a complimentary CrunchONE Kickoff, a one-on-one session where a certified trainer reviews your fitness history, sets goals with you and shows you the equipment. You book it in the member portal. It's a good way to meet a trainer before any money changes hands. Crunch also lists small-group training for people who want a trainer's help without going solo. For the wider market, our personal trainer cost guide covers national rates by city.

How the Crunch Fitness personal training contract works

Crunch's FAQ refers to "your personal training contract," with its own refund question, apart from its membership questions. It doesn't say whether cancelling your membership ends that contract, so ask your club and cancel each one in writing to be safe. Here's what Crunch publishes about the training side:

  • Price and package: set by your club and trainer. Not published.
  • Refunds: Crunch says there are "a few accepted reasons" to cancel and be refunded, and tells you to contact your home club. It doesn't list the reasons publicly.
  • Unused sessions: whether you can pass remaining sessions to someone else "depends on your home location."
  • Changing trainers: Crunch says to speak to your home club to see if it's an option.
  • Local control: Crunch says each location manages operations independently, and that trainer certification requirements may vary by location, under company or franchise location standards.

What Crunch doesn't publish: the length of a training agreement, whether it renews on its own, how much notice you must give, or whether unused sessions expire. Those answers are in the agreement you sign at your club, so ask for a copy and read it at home first. On the membership side, Crunch says a month to month membership continues until you ask to cancel, the notice you owe before your next bill depends on your Membership Agreement, and cancellation policies vary by location based on state and local rules. Your state may give you extra rights; check your state attorney general's consumer page.

How to cancel Crunch Fitness personal training

Crunch routes both training and membership questions to your home club. Here's a sensible order, based on what Crunch publishes:

  1. Read your training agreement. Look for the term, any renewal clause, the notice period and the refund rules. If you don't have a copy, ask the club for one.
  2. Contact your home club. For the personal training contract, Crunch says to contact your home club; its FAQ links to a contact page.
  3. Put it in writing too. This is our suggestion, not a Crunch rule: send a short dated letter or email naming the training agreement, the date you want it to end, and whether you're asking for a refund of unused sessions. Our free cancellation letter builder writes it for you.
  4. Cancel the membership separately if you want to. Crunch says some clubs offer online cancellation in the Member Portal under Manage Membership; otherwise you contact the club by phone or in person.
  5. Confirm both are closed. Ask for written confirmation for each agreement.

Keep your agreement number, a copy of your letter or email, any confirmation or receipt, and the name of the staff member who helped you. For memberships, Crunch's FAQ says that if you claim you cancelled and the membership wasn't ended, you'll be asked for proof of the initial request, so that paper trail matters.

Questions to ask before you sign

  • What is the price per session, and how many sessions are in the package?
  • Is this a separate personal training contract from my membership? Can I take a copy home to read?
  • How long does it last, and does it renew automatically?
  • What are the "accepted reasons" for cancelling with a refund at this club?
  • Do unused sessions expire, and can I transfer them?
  • If my trainer leaves or I want a different one, what happens?
  • How much notice do I have to give to stop the payments?

A cheaper way to keep a trainer

If you've had a trainer at Crunch and want to keep the habit but not the bill, live online coaching is often the cheaper route. HipTrain pairs you with one certified coach for live 1-on-1 video sessions, and you keep the same coach unless you decide to switch. You can book times around your week and reschedule in the app.

  • 30 minutes, once a week: $59.49 a month, about $14 a session.
  • 60 minutes, once a week: $109.99 a month, about $25 a session.
  • Plans are billed monthly. Your first session is free, no card needed.

To compare, Crunch's own blog puts the general market at $50 to $100 or more a session. But a Crunch trainer is the better choice if you want hands-on spotting, coaching on the gym's equipment in person, or you already have a trainer there you trust. HipTrain doesn't do in-person sessions, has a small coach roster, and has far fewer reviews than the big apps (29 App Store ratings). You'll need to be on camera at a set time. Our online vs in-person trainer comparison walks through the trade-offs, and our affordable online trainers guide lists other options.

"Great option to do a virtual workout with a 1:1 trainer. Angel is great at adapting exercises to my needs." (Emma S., Google review)
