Someone looking for a personal trainer has usually already decided to spend the money. What stops them is nerves. They want to know the price for one session and for a block of ten, where the sessions happen, whether you work with people who have never lifted a weight, and what you are actually like. They have seen your Instagram. Now they want the page that gives them the price without having to send a message and wait. That is the job of websites for personal trainers in Dublin: turn a quiet follower into a first session.
Where the enquiry gets lost
The usual path is a DM at 11pm asking “how much do you charge”, answered the next morning between clients, followed by silence. The person has asked three trainers the same question and gone with whoever answered first with a number.
A page fixes that in two ways. The prices and packages are there to read. And the enquiry form asks the questions you would have asked anyway: what they want to work on, how many days a week, whether they have trained before, mornings or evenings. You reply once, with the right offer, and the conversation starts with a booking rather than a price.
Sessions, blocks and getting paid
List what you sell the way you sell it. A single session, a block of ten with its expiry, pair training, small group sessions, online programming with a weekly check-in. Say where each happens: the gym you rent space in, outdoors in a park, their home, or on a video call, and which parts of Dublin you travel to.
Then let people pay. A block bought with a card or Apple Pay at the moment the person is motivated is worth more than a promise to send it by Revolut after the first session. A small deposit holds the 6am slot and makes the no-show cost them, not you. Reminders the day before do the rest. We have written out how to take deposits online in Ireland with the consumer rules that apply.
The year of a trainer
January fills before you have time to answer messages. April and May bring the summer rush. September brings the people whose routine fell apart in July. December is quiet. A page with a waiting list for when you are full, and a line you can change yourself when a slot opens, means the January rush becomes a list you work through rather than a pile of DMs you lose.
What goes on the page
Photos of you coaching a real person in the space you use, with their permission. The gym floor or the park. A short clip if you have one. Your qualifications and insurance, in a sentence, not a wall of acronyms. Your own story in three lines: who you are, who you work with, what a first session is like. If you post before and after photos, they go up only with written consent, and we never ask you to invent them.
Instagram keeps doing what it does. The page is linked from your bio and does the part Instagram cannot: price, booking and being found when someone types “personal trainer” and your area into Google. We have more on that in whether you need a website if you have Instagram.
What we will ask you for
Your packages and prices, where and when you train, your qualifications, eight to ten photos, your Instagram handle, and whether you already use a booking app. If you work out of a gym, tell us which one so the directions are right. There is a separate page on websites for gyms if the owner there is asking the same questions.
Cost and plan
Most trainers want bookings, payments and reminders, which is Complete at €1,499 to set up and €100 a month. If you only want to be found and let people enquire, Essentials at €499 and €50 a month covers the site, the Google listing and the form. Both are on the pricing page. Outside Dublin the first chat is a video call and the rest works the same way.
