Shredded Scousers Reveal the 5 Best Personal Trainers in Liverpool
I fancied the idea of running a marathon, but let’s be honest—I’m winded just climbing the stairs to my flat. So, I figured it was high time to bring in the pros and hunt down Liverpool’s top personal trainers to get me fit for the finish line.
The trainer I picked had me smashing through workouts I’d normally avoid like the plague, and before long, I was buzzing for those early morning runs.
If you’re ready to reach new heights (without losing your marbles), here’s a guide to Liverpool’s finest personal trainers who’ll see you through!
How much do personal trainers charge in Liverpool?
In Liverpool, personal trainer rates generally range from £25 to £50 per hour, depending on the trainer’s experience, location, and session type. For more specialized coaching, you might see prices around £60+ per hour.
Many trainers offer discounts for package deals or small group sessions, which can lower the overall cost if you’re booking multiple sessions.

Lost 5kg of fat whilst also gaining muscle
“I came to unit 7 looking to lose weight and get back into shape, joining the F7 programme. In 6 weeks I have lost 5kg of fat whilst also gaining muscle. The workouts are fun but challenging and I find the small group setting really supportive. It feels good to have control of my nutrition and to see the steady progress week by week. I’m looking forward to reaching more of my goals and pushing myself further in the coming months. Would highly recommend Unit 7. The team are very friendly and help you reach your goals.”

By far the best gym I’ve ever been to
“Been going to unit 7 for close to 5 years now and it’s by far the best gym I’ve ever been to. All the staff are friendly, know their stuff and it’s a friendly and welcoming environment to work out in.”

Contact Details: +44 151 659 1115
Business Hours:

- Saturday: 6 AM – 2 PM
Ultimate Performance has made a name for itself in the personal training arena. In fact, this private gym pulls in clients from all over Merseyside, including Southport, Formby, Heswall, and beyond.
Their in-gym personal training experience is very thorough, with a focus on fine-tuning your training, nutrition, and overall lifestyle.
But if you can’t always make it to the gym, you can go for their online personal training programme. Choose from package options of 1, 3, or 6 months—all from the comfort of your own space.
The first PT session is a 90-minute consultation that includes a body assessment and a movement screening. And while every training package is bespoke, they do offer loyalty discounts for those who commit to larger packages.
We learned, however, that they don’t offer home personal training sessions.
Amazing results so far, very impressed!
“Amazing results so far, very impressed! Joined UP 7 weeks ago to work on my health, fitness and nutrition. Researched quite a few PT’s and gyms but the UP package easily came out on top. The initial consultation was with a highly skilled trainer Louis who took time to understand my personal needs and goals and mapped out a clear plan for us to work on going forward. Wide range of aspects to the plan including fat loss, muscle building, nutrition, sleep regulation, metabolism and all tracked daily in the UP app which was a big bonus for me.”

Couldn’t be happier with my progress
“Couldn’t be happier with my progress during my time at Ultimate performance, I had always struggling hitting the exact shape I wanted to achieve. After discussing with Louis he has provided an extremely well detailed and educational plan which no doubt i will take forward with me. The level and techniques of training I have been blown away with, the results have been incredible and I look forward to many more years training at this fantastic gym. I could not recommend high enough.”

Absolute Body Solutions or ABS was founded by body transformation specialist Connor O’Brien over 13 years ago. What started as a shed in a back garden has grown into four premium gyms.
Their 6 Week Transformation programme features three personal training sessions per week and a tailored nutrition plan, complete with meal ideas for every day.
But if you’re looking for something more long-term, their 12- and 16-week programmes aim for sustainable, life-changing results with the same level of personalised support.
As a bonus, they offer bespoke programmes tailored to your schedule and goals—perfect for wedding prep, summer holidays, or any special milestone.
Curious to see what they’re about? Book a free consultation and check out one of their five impressive spaces.
Sadly, we have noticed they’re a bit on the pricey side.
Genuinely amazed by the results I’ve achieved with my PT
“My experience at ABS Liverpool has been phenomenal, I am genuinely amazed by the results I’ve achieved with my PT Andy who has been a great coach and created an easy to follow nutrition plan that worked for me (even postpartum and nursing which was one of my initial concerns). I’ve never felt as confident in the gym as I do now. I did a 6 week programme and not only lost a stone but gained a huge amount of strength and have learned so much. I look forward to continuing to train with ABS because it is just a brilliant place.”
Kimberley Lasi, Google Review
One of the best decisions I have ever made
“Joining ABS has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. For as long as I can remember, I have always, always hated exercise or any kind of physical activity. I have always been scared of the gym, but I pushed myself to join and ABS was definitely the best choice I could have made.”

4. Strictly Boxing Fitness Studio
Business Address: Mercer St, Garston
Website: https://liverpoolpersonaltrainer.com/
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/liverpool_personal_trainer/
Contact Details: +44 7887 868872
Business Hours:
- Mon – Fri: 6 AM – 9 PM
- Sat – Sun: 6 AM – 5 PM
Strictly Boxing Fitness Studio is run by Paul Coshott, who has been in the game since 1996. As a trainer and NLP practitioner/life coach, he’s helped kids and adults smash their goals.
For the ladies, the 6-Week Challenge is a real belter. It’s a women-only personal training programme that lets you connect with like-minded gals in a super supportive setting.
With boxing, martial arts, and resistance training in the mix, you’ll see both physical and mental gains. Plus, Paul’s got your back with weekly check-ins and a free strategy session to keep you on track.
Even kids get a slice, building their self-esteem and fitness in a fun, encouraging way.
Another bonus? They offer a free week trial—better than just a quick chat you’d get elsewhere.
Just be ready to book in advance; it’s a popular spot, and for good reason.
Paul is absolutely excellent!
“Paul is absolutely excellent! I found him on Google a few weeks ago as my 6yr old daughter wanted to start boxing and she just loves it! Paul is great with the kids and it looks like so much fun that this week I’m going to start going to his adult classes. If you’re looking for a trainer in Liverpool I would highly recommend him!”
Penny Simons, Google Review
By far one of the best decisions I’ve made in a while
“By far one of the best decisions I’ve made in a while was joining these boxing classes with Paul’s crew in Garston. At the time, heading into winter, I knew I didn’t want to spend the dark nights sitting on the couch watching telly and wanted to find some kind of exercise I actually enjoyed. This is it! Don’t get me wrong, I still have to talk myself into going, I’m not an exercise lover! But the second I get there I forget all that and actually work harder than I ever have but also have an absolute laugh too. Who knew the two could together!? I like that there’s instruction, guidance and support from Paul and the whole group, I like that it’s so friendly and there are no egos. I feel myself getting fitter and I think the weight sessions offered too are also a revelation as I didn’t have any experience of this kind of training at all. Can highly recommend and so glad that I joined.”

5. Reshape Infinity Fitness
Business Address: 14 Dale St
Website: https://reshapeinfinityfitness.co.uk/
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reshape.infinity.fitness/
Contact Details: +44 7948 751888
Business Hours: Mon – Sun: 7 AM – 10 PM
Reshape Infinity Fitness is a cracking team of personal trainers based in Liverpool, and they really know their stuff. With over 1,600 one-on-one training sessions under their belt, plus loads of group classes, they’ve got experience to spare.
Their programmes are solid too—ranging from Corporate Staff Training and a Buddy System to their popular 6-Week Reshape Bootcamp.
There’s no one-size-fits-all here. Every session is tailored to you—different every time, keeping it fresh and focused on your goals.
Progress tracking is available as well. Every rep gets logged by their PTs, who even jot down how tough you found it, your favourite bits, and what you thought of each session.
On top of that, they offer a full-body analysis—regular fitness assessments, body fat percentage tracking, muscle measurements, and before-and-after photos.
Now, heads up: they don’t do free trials.
Jack has been one of the best PTs I’ve worked with
“Jack has been one of the best PTs I’ve worked with and easily the most fun! He’s got a great way of turning workouts into games but still making sure you push your limits. His sessions are well rounded but can be focused on certain muscle groups or cardio if you ask. I strongly recommend Jack if you are wanting to improve your overall fitness!”
Stephanie Black, Google Review
The gains I’ve made since have been phenomenal
“I’ve been training with Jack nearly a year now and both my fitness and confidence have improved drastically during that time. I started training with him after running a half marathon so was fit to start, and have been lifting weights circa 13 years, but the gains I’ve made since have been phenomenal. Thoroughly recommend him to either beginners or experienced gym enthusiasts looking to move on to the next level.”
