Fit Squad DXB for coaching where you already train

Fit Squad offers mobile training at home, outdoors or in a gym. It describes bringing equipment and working with partner gyms. If you want to use the gym in your building, confirm that an outside trainer can get in at the time you want. If you're using a partner gym, ask for the exact location and any entry or access fee. A mobile appointment is convenient only when the trainer and venue can reliably accommodate the same time. Fit Squad mobile training · Fit Squad venue options

The published Pro rates are AED 500 for one session, AED 1,875 for five, AED 3,250 for ten and AED 6,000 for twenty, before the stated 5% VAT. Including VAT, that's AED 525, AED 1,968.75, AED 3,412.50 and AED 6,300 respectively. Those are the operator's published prices for the Pro tier. It says rates can vary by trainer and asks clients to enquire about Master coaches. Get the total for the coach, location and time you actually want before comparing it with a studio price. Fit Squad rates and trainer tiers

The provider lists Dalila Ortega López as a Pro trainer. Its roster attributes a Level 4 personal training diploma to her, and her biography says she teaches in English and Spanish. If you ask for her or another named coach, check that they cover your location and whether the same person will take the taster and the pack. Fit Squad advertises a free consultation and taster for new clients. Use that time to ask how the trainer would use your available equipment and what they'd give you to follow on days you train alone. Fit Squad roster · Dalila's provider bio · Fit Squad consultation

Fit Squad’s team introduction on Instagram is a starting point for seeing how the company presents its coaches. Use the individual biographies and your written quote to check who is available and what they charge. The public rate page says packs are paid up front. Ask for the duration of each visit, the expiry date and how far ahead you can move an appointment. If you want to train outside, agree where you’ll go if you need to move indoors and whether the venue change affects the fee. Fit Squad team post · Fit Squad package terms

Optimal Fitness for a studio programme with a weekly planner

Optimal Fitness operates from Commercial Building 3 in Dubai Studio City. It starts with a 45-minute, AED 97 consultation with a matched coach. The booking page describes that as a conversation without a workout. Ask whether the fee is credited against your first pack and whether the consultation is included with a membership you already hold. If you want to see how a trainer cues a lift or adapts a movement before you commit, ask about the separate single coached session. Optimal consultation · Optimal programme prices

The one-to-one pricing page lists AED 457 for one session, AED 3,950 for ten valid six weeks and AED 7,640 for twenty valid 12 weeks. Optimal describes onboarding, a weekly training planner, nutritional guidelines and progress tracking. It specifically lists gym access on the ten- and twenty-session options. Ask when you can use the facility by yourself, whether you need to reserve independent visits and how long that access lasts. The studio also sells gym access as a separate product. Optimal packages and gym access

The six-week window is a practical filter. At two appointments per week you have 12 potential slots for ten sessions, so two can fall away before you need to add a third appointment in a week. At once a week, you only have six. If you paid AED 3,950 and attended eight, the cost per attended session would be AED 493.75 before any separately charged consultation. Ask when the clock starts and what happens if the coach is away during your pack. Optimal pack validity

Match the coach to the programme

Optimal’s booking form lets you name a preferred coach. The studio lists Greg Robson with a BSc in Sports Science and a focus on strength and conditioning. Its original Studio City reel introduces another personal trainer, Chris. The roster and reel give you names to ask about. Confirm who will lead your consultation and whether they will also deliver the sessions. If you want nutritional guidance or a planner, ask what the assigned coach will provide in writing, how often it is updated and what they’ll review with you. Optimal booking form · Greg Robson’s studio profile · Optimal trainer introduction

InnerFight for a longer solo window or a partner pack

InnerFight’s personal training service is based in Dubai Studio City. Its service page describes an hour in the gym and support around the sessions. Ask what that support includes in the pack you are quoted. It could matter whether you are buying help with a written programme between visits or mainly want someone beside you for each coached session. Confirm whether independent gym time or group classes would need a separate purchase. InnerFight personal training · InnerFight group class prices

InnerFight publishes AED 585 for one solo session, AED 2,650 for five valid one month and AED 4,950 for ten valid three months. At ten visits the published price works out to AED 495 each. A three-month window gives you more time to schedule ten visits than a six-week pack. Ask when validity starts, whether your coach has a slot that works consistently and how the gym handles late cancellations or pauses. Ask for the payable amount, including any tax or access charges. InnerFight one-to-one rates and validity

Bring a partner if you both want the same schedule

The ten-session partner package is AED 2,625 per person, or AED 5,250 for two, with three months of validity. Each pays less than they would for ten solo sessions at the listed rate, and you share the coach's time. Ask how the coach structures the hour if you have different training experience. Find out whether both of you must attend to use a credit and whether one can train alone when the other is away. InnerFight also publishes group coaching prices. Ask how many people join a group if you are comparing it with two people sharing a coach. InnerFight partner and group packages

InnerFight’s coach profile attributes an honours BSc in Sport Science to Andy McTaggart and links him to personal training. The gym’s original post about routines outside the gym gives an example of the topics he discusses. Ask who is available for your own pack and how much support you’ll get between visits. If you want the same person every time, ask how substitutes are handled and whether you can move a session if the trainer changes.

Compare the price you will actually pay

If you can attend only once a week, compare a longer expiry or a smaller pack. If you reliably train twice a week, look at whether the coach has two slots you can reserve regularly. Two packages with the same number of sessions can cost quite different amounts per visit once you account for missed bookings. For example, a prepaid AED 4,950 pack costs AED 495 per visit if you attend ten and AED 618.75 if you attend eight. Put any trips or shift changes inside the actual expiry window before deciding which pack you would use. Optimal Fitness expiry · InnerFight expiry

Check the person, then the plan

Get the trainer’s full name and ask for the qualification relevant to your goal. The REPs UAE public register lets you search by name or registration number and shows the category and expiry on entries. It lists personal trainers under Category A. A studio biography can tell you what a trainer teaches and what credentials the studio attributes to them. Check the register if the coach claims active registration, and ask the trainer to explain any qualification you’re relying on. Confirm who is actually assigned to your package. REPs UAE trainer register

For the first session, tell the coach what equipment you can use and how often you can train independently. Ask what they’ll record and when you’ll review it together. If you need someone to teach you unfamiliar movements, ask how they use the coached hour for instruction and feedback. If you already know your way around the gym, find out whether the package includes a written programme for the days you train alone and whether anyone checks your progress before the next appointment.

A programme that includes messages can mean anything from scheduling reminders to individual feedback. Ask what you can send, who replies, and whether messages are included throughout the credit window. For nutritional guidance, ask whether you’re getting general guidelines, a separate service or help from a different practitioner. These distinctions matter if you’re planning to pay for follow-up as well as time on the gym floor.

Compare a normal week before you commit

If you want one coached hour and one independent workout each week, ask the coach to show how the two fit together. With a mobile trainer, you might use the same building gym on both days, but make sure the plan relies on equipment you can access on your own. At Optimal, ask how the gym access listed on the pack fits around your schedule. At InnerFight, ask whether the quote covers just your booked coaching time or other visits too. Put the answer in the quote so you can compare the same amount of training across the three options. Fit Squad delivery · Optimal gym access · InnerFight personal training

When comparing different package sizes, calculate the break-even point against the single price for that same coach. At Fit Squad’s published Pro rates, six singles cost AED 3,150 including the stated VAT. Seven cost AED 3,675. The ten-pack at AED 3,412.50 starts costing less than singles at seven attended sessions, assuming you receive that rate and can book within the expiry. At InnerFight, eight solo singles total AED 4,680 and nine total AED 5,265. The AED 4,950 ten-pack starts costing less than singles at nine attended visits. Compare those thresholds with how many appointments you can actually reserve. Fit Squad prices · InnerFight prices

One practical question for the first appointment is what happens when your usual slot disappears. A recurring Wednesday slot can make a pack easy to use until the coach goes away or your shift changes. Ask whether you can prebook the whole pack, who contacts you if a session moves and whether a replacement coach can pick up your programme. If you train with a partner, ask how those changes are handled for both bookings.

Frequently asked questions

Should I book a taster or pay for one session?

Use the visit to learn how the trainer works with you. Fit Squad advertises a consultation and taster for new clients. Optimal describes its AED 97 consultation as a conversation and lists a coached single separately. If you want to practise with the person who would coach your pack, ask whether that trainer can take the trial or single session. Fit Squad taster · Optimal consultation · Optimal single session

Do I need a gym membership too?

It depends on where and how you train. Fit Squad can come to you, but check access for an outside trainer at your building or any charge at a partner gym. Optimal explicitly lists access on its ten- and twenty-session packs, so ask how that works outside appointments. For InnerFight, check the access terms if you want to use the gym or attend regular classes without your trainer. Fit Squad venue options · Optimal access · InnerFight personal training

What if I travel before my credits expire?

Ask for the date the pack expires and how you would request a pause, transfer or extension. Confirm whether a late cancellation uses a credit and what happens if the trainer cancels. If you often travel with little notice, compare how many appointments you can reliably attend and use that number to price each pack before paying.
