What private training looks like
Private personal training means every minute of the session is about you. Your program combines strength, balance, mobility and conditioning in the mix your body needs, and it is written around your history: the shoulder you hurt skiing, the knee that complains on stairs, the back that tightens on long flights.
Sessions happen where it is easiest for you, at home, at your club or on a trail nearby. Your coach arrives with a plan, watches every rep and adjusts as you go. Most clients train two or three times a week and notice they move more easily within the first month.
Who private training is for
A good fit if
- You want a plan written for your body, not a routine copied from a class.
- You have an injury, surgery or joint replacement in your past and want a coach who respects it.
- You’d rather not figure out the machines on a crowded gym floor.
- You want someone who notices when you’re having an off day and adjusts the session.
Probably not a fit if
- You want to be yelled at or pushed through pain. That isn’t how we coach.
How it works
A conversation about your goals, health history and schedule. No workout and no obligation.
Your first session measures how you move today: strength, balance, mobility and how you get up and down from the floor.
Two or three sessions a week with a plan that progresses as you get stronger and changes when life gets busy.

Questions, answered
How much does personal training cost in the East Bay?
Private sessions with The Fit Potato start at $120. Your total depends on how many sessions you book each week and where they take place. The consultation is free of obligation and ends with a recommended plan.
How often should I train with a personal trainer?
Most clients train two or three times a week. That is enough to build strength and balance while leaving time to recover. Your schedule is set during the consultation and can change as your goals and calendar do.
What happens in a personal training session?
A session usually includes a warm-up, strength work for the whole body, balance and mobility exercises, and a short cool-down. Each session is planned in advance and adjusted on the spot if something feels off.
Do you train clients at home?
Yes. Sessions can take place at your home, your club’s gym or a park near you anywhere in the East Bay, including Dublin, Danville, Pleasanton, San Ramon, Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Alamo and Livermore.
Do I need my own equipment?
No. For home sessions your coach brings what you need, such as dumbbells, resistance bands and a mat. If you have equipment at home or at your club, your program can use it.
How soon will I see results from personal training?
Most people feel stronger and steadier within a few weeks of consistent training. Visible changes take longer and depend on where you start, how often you train and your sleep and nutrition.
Is personal training safe with arthritis or a past injury?
Yes, when the program is built around it. Exercises are chosen and adjusted for your joints and history, and anything that causes pain is replaced. Clients often share their physical therapist’s notes so the plans line up.
