Money-Saving Tips: Unsurprisingly, personal training prices in London are among the highest in the UK, with most trainers charging between £40 and £85 per session. 

1. One way of working towards your fitness goals while not spending too much is to train with others (e.g., some friends or a partner). If you're interested in this you could reach out to a local professional trainer that offers group fitness sessions or a personal trainer that leads fitness classes. 

2. Also, some personal trainers are pleased to offer a free initial consultation in which you can share your current fitness level and specific goals (e.g., you might want to lose body fat), and they can give you an idea of how they might design a training programme for you that takes into account your goals as well as your busy schedule. 

3. If your initial consultation goes well, you could consider buying a block of personal training sessions, as this usually works out cheaper than paying for a single session at a time.
