    What we’ll cover

    What is a Personal Training Agreement?

    A Personal Training Agreement is a document that outlines the rights and responsibilities of a personal trainer and their client when establishing a professional relationship. Personal Training Agreements ensure both parties will have the same set of expectations and help avoid future conflicts.

    As a personal trainer, you can create Personal Training Agreements in order to safeguard your business when you are planning to provide personal training to a client. They can include crucial information, such as payment methods and deadlines, number and duration of sessions, cancellation fees, and more.

    When to use a Personal Training Agreement:

    • You are a personal trainer and have a new client.
    • You would like to hire a personal trainer.

    Have questions about your Personal Training Agreement?

    Whether you're preparing your Personal Training Agreement, reviewing one someone sent you, or just want to understand it better, here's how to get help.

    • Understand what it says or review it. Use our AI legal assistant to ask questions about your Personal Training Agreement, understand what it says, and spot anything that may need a closer look.
    • Ask an attorney a question. Connect with an attorney for legal information, with a written answer within one business day or a live consultation.
    • Get advice on what to do. For privileged, confidential advice about your specific circumstances and next steps, book a Legal Advice Session with an attorney.

    Personal Training Agreement FAQs

    Expand all
    • Why should a personal trainer always write a contract for personal training?

      Regardless of who your client or trainer may be, you should always consider making a Personal Training Agreement. The following list of benefits may be helpful for you:

      • There are no surprises about how long the engagement will last.
      • Both parties understand the scope of their responsibilities.
      • Both parties know when invoicing will happen.

      If you opt not to make a Personal Training Agreement, you may not get to experience all of the protections associated with having one in place.

    • What does the average Personal Training Agreement template cover?

      The details needed for a Personal Training Agreement are listed below:

      • The client's and trainer’s full name and address.
      • The services that will be provided.
      • What fees will be charged and when.
      • The start and end dates.

      As you might expect, Personal Training Agreements also include the typical legal language about the non-employer relationship between the parties, confidentiality, the method(s) of dispute resolution, and, lastly, liability for losses. In the process of building your contract, you can also pick which state's laws will govern it. Additional custom edits are possible, as needed.

    • What does it usually cost for a lawyer to draft a Personal Training Agreement?

      Attorney fees for drafting or reviewing a Personal Training Agreement can vary widely. Many lawyers charge hourly rates that may range from around $100 for less experienced attorneys to $350 or more per hour for highly experienced attorneys in major metropolitan areas. For more routine documents, some attorneys may offer flat-fee pricing.

      The total cost will depend on several factors, including your location, the attorney’s experience, and the complexity of your agreement. More documents or situations involving negotiation will typically require more time and increase the overall cost.

      With Rocket Lawyer, you can create a personalized Personal Training Agreement tailored to your specific needs—without the high cost typically associated with hiring a lawyer. If you have questions or want additional peace of mind, you can also get your document reviewed or ask an attorney for guidance.

    • What should I do once a Personal Training Agreement is written?

      After drafting your Personal Training Agreement, review it carefully. You may also want to review it with the other party to ensure all parties fully understand and agree to the terms of the agreement. Once all parties agree to the terms, the next step is to have all parties sign it, and each party should keep a copy for their records. It’s also a good idea to store it in a safe, accessible place in case you need to reference it later.

    • Can my Personal Training Agreement be checked by a lawyer before it is signed?

      It’s smart to have an important agreement reviewed before you sign, so you fully understand the terms and avoid potential risks.

      While some attorneys may review documents they didn’t draft, others may decline or require a retainer, hourly billing, or a flat fee. This can make getting a legal document review of your Personal Training Agreement less predictable and more time-consuming.

      Rocket Lawyer makes the process simpler. With a Rocket Lawyer membership, you can request a review from an attorney or ask questions about your Personal Training Agreement. You can also use Rocket Copilot to quickly review your agreement, spot potentially risky terms, and make sure everything looks accurate before signing.

      Once you’re ready, you can sign your document online with RocketSign—all in one place.
