Gold's Gym does not publish personal training prices, and each club handles its own cancellations. Here is what the brand does say, with sources.
This guide is for anyone who has been offered Gold's Gym personal training, or already pays for it, and wants straight answers on cost, contracts and cancelling. It was written by HipTrain. We sell live 1-on-1 personal training over video, from about $14 a session, so we're one of the alternatives and we'd like your business. That's why every fact here about Gold's Gym comes from Gold's Gym's own websites or a named source, listed at the end.
Gold's Gym does not publish a personal training price on goldsgym.com. Clubs set their own rates, and the one Gold's site we found with a figure, from Gold's Gym BC, which runs three clubs in British Columbia, Canada, advertises a new-member trial of 2 sessions for $199. Gold's doesn't post its training agreement, so ask for a copy before you sign. To cancel, Gold's Gym sends you to your own club, because "each location manages cancellations individually."
The Gold's club page we checked (Austin Downtown) describes personal training in general terms: trainers "design personalized workout plans and provide one-on-one coaching." It lists no price, session length or package sizes. When you ask about the membership contract, the site's answer is also to contact your location. That fits how Gold's is built. Its franchise page calls it "part of a worldwide franchise system," and says Gold's is now "part of the RSG Group." Its cancellation page talks about "your gym owner." In practice, the details sit with your club.
Here's everything we could verify from Gold's Gym's own sites:
Please don't read the Canadian trial price as a U.S. rate. It's one Canadian operator's intro offer, and it tells you little about what a 10 or 20 session package costs at a club near you. We looked for a published U.S. Gold's Gym rate sheet and couldn't find one, so we won't guess.
For a general sense of what trainers charge (not Gold's specifically), Bark's latest U.S. data (last updated January 2026) puts the average personal trainer at $50 to $90 a session. Our personal trainer cost guide has more national numbers.
One thing Gold's has changed lately is who trains you at its own clubs. In a November 3, 2026 announcement, Gold's said the NASM Certified Personal Trainer credential will be required for all Gold's Standard Personal Trainers "at company-owned locations." Franchise clubs may set their own hiring rules, so ask your club what certification your trainer holds.
Gold's Gym doesn't publish its personal training agreement, so we can't tell you its length, whether it renews on its own, or what happens to sessions you don't use. Those terms live in the paperwork your club hands you. Here's what Gold's own documents do show.
Is training a separate contract from your membership? Gold's site doesn't say either way. The cancellation form asks "Which services would you like to cancel?" Ask your club to show you, in writing, whether cancelling your membership also ends your training, and the reverse.
Gold's Gym's cancellation page has you pick your club first. It then says to use "the following specific link provided by your gym owner, as each location manages cancellations individually." For some clubs that link is an online form. For others it isn't: the page for the New Braunfels club says "Cancellations for this location must take place at the gym." So the method depends on where you signed.
Keep a copy of the agreement, your letter or form confirmation, any email from the club, and your mailing receipt. Your state may give you extra rights; check your state attorney general's consumer page.
If what you like about a gym trainer is having someone who knows you, plans your workouts and expects you to show up, you can keep that for less. HipTrain is live 1-on-1 personal training over video with the same certified coach every session. Thirty-minute sessions start at $59.49 a month for one a week, which is about $14 a session. Sixty-minute sessions start at $109.99 a month, about $25 a session. Plans are billed monthly, your first session is free, and you don't need a credit card to try it.
A Gold's trainer is the better choice in some cases. If you want someone to spot you on a heavy bench press, you want to learn the machines at your club, or you already have a trainer you trust there, stay. HipTrain has no in-person sessions, a small coach roster, and far fewer reviews than the big apps, and you need to be on camera at a set time. Our online vs in-person trainer comparison walks through the tradeoffs.
Gold's Gym doesn't publish a price on goldsgym.com, and each club sets its own. The only figure we found on a Gold's site is a new-member trial of 2 sessions for $199 from Gold's Gym BC, which runs three clubs in British Columbia, Canada. Ask your club for its current rate sheet.
Company-owned Gold's clubs take online requests for a "Complimentary Personal Training Session." Franchise clubs set their own offers, so ask yours.
It depends on your club. Gold's cancellation page sends you to a link from your gym owner, and some clubs, like New Braunfels, say cancellations must happen at the gym.
Gold's doesn't say. The cancellation form asks which services you want to cancel, so name personal training directly and get written confirmation for each one.
In a November 3, 2026 announcement, Gold's said NASM certification will be required for Gold's Standard Personal Trainers at company-owned clubs. It gave no start date, and franchise clubs may differ.
Curious whether a live coach on video could work for you? Try your first HipTrain session free. No credit card needed.
We checked Gold's Gym's published pages in November 2026. Gold's clubs, including franchise clubs, handle their own prices and terms and can change them, so ask your club for its current rate sheet and a copy of the training agreement.
