A good personal trainer brings expertise, accountability and human judgement. We have enormous respect for that. But when food, energy, housing and almost everything else cost more, regular one-to-one coaching is simply beyond many budgets. Your progress should not stop there.
For many people, personal training is money well spent. For others, the monthly cost makes regular support impossible. A smaller budget does not mean smaller goals, less commitment or less right to good guidance.
Planned monthly membership with connected training tools and Coach guidance. That is £113-£253 less planned monthly spend than one PT session a week. Not yet on sale.
A common public UK benchmark for 45-60 minutes outside London. Specialist and city pricing can be higher.
Based on four sessions. Two sessions a week can reach roughly £240-£520 a month.
This is not a like-for-like replacement. An app cannot provide the live observation, technique correction or human relationship a great PT can. The point is that people priced out of regular coaching still deserve something better than guessing.
Sources: PureGym's UK personal training guide gives a typical £30-£65 benchmark outside London, while My PT Hub's 2026 pricing guide reports a UK average of around £50 per session. Actual prices vary by trainer, location, qualification and package. Monthly comparisons use four or eight sessions; calendar months average slightly more than four weeks.
GRITFIT brings your goals, equipment, schedule, completed sessions and progress into one connected training record. Coach uses the information you choose to record to help you understand what to do today and what should come next.
Coach can be wrong. It cannot see every rep, diagnose an injury or replace supervised technique work with a qualified professional.
Watch how you move, correct technique in real time, read the person in front of them and build a genuine coaching relationship.
Give you structure whenever you train, remember the work you record, explain the plan and make ongoing guidance accessible at a much lower planned price.
The ambition for Phase 2 is not to push trainers aside. It is to give qualified PTs a platform to build trust, share their expertise and reach people beyond the hours available in their diary.
Show who they are, what they specialise in, their qualifications and the journey behind their coaching.
Publish workouts and programmes so more people can discover and train with their approach.
Sell the plans they build and reach thousands more people without hiding the expertise behind the workout.
This is future product direction, not functionality included in the current private beta. Trainer verification, marketplace standards, payments and revenue terms would need to be defined before launch.
Join the private beta and help shape a more accessible way to train with structure, context and a clear sense of what comes next.
