What does personal training cost?
$150 per session. Every session is 60 minutes, one-on-one, in our private studio at 311 Soquel Ave. Pay per session at the studio.

How do I get started?
Book a free consultation. We talk through your goals, your history, and anything that hurts. Then we plan your first session.
- C03
Who is personal training for?
People who don't know where to start. People running into pains. Active adults who want to learn how to really strength train. The goal is the same for everyone: learn how to exercise right for your body, your goals, and your abilities.
- C04
Do I need experience to train at Mavericks Fitness?
No. Every program starts where you are. Your coach teaches proper movement patterns and scales each session to your current ability.
- C05
What's your cancellation policy?
We ask for 24-hour notice to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations or no-shows may forfeit that session. Life happens, so tell us early and we will work with you.
- C06
What payment options do you accept?
Pay per session at the studio. We accept all major credit and debit cards.
- C07
How do fitness evaluations work?
Evaluations include VO₂ Max testing and Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR). You'll schedule a 30-60 minute appointment where we walk you through the testing process, collect data, and review results immediately afterward. Within 24 hours, you'll receive a detailed report with training zones, metabolic data, and actionable recommendations.
- C08
What equipment do you have?
We've curated our equipment for functional movement and strength training: Rogue squat rack, NohRd equipment including the SprintBok self-propelled treadmill, Wahoo Kickr bike, CLMBR machines, Jacob's Ladder XL, free weights, lat pulldown, bench, competition kettlebells, maces, ski erg, rope machine, water rowers, specialty bars (trap bar, safety squat bar), sleds, and recovery tools (foam rollers, massage guns, bands). Every piece is chosen to promote natural movement patterns.
- C09
Do you offer nutrition coaching?
Yes. Your coach gives nutrition guidance based on your RMR data, training volume, and goals. We don't prescribe meal plans; we teach you how to fuel your body well. For more in-depth support, we can refer you to registered dietitians we trust in the Santa Cruz area.
- C10
Is parking available?
Yes. We have a dedicated parking lot for clients. No circling for street parking or walking blocks from a garage. Parking is free, well-lit, and secure for early morning and evening sessions.

What are the requirements to rent the studio?
You'll need current liability insurance, CPR/AED certification, and at least one nationally recognized credential (CSCS, NASM, ACE, USAW, etc.). We also look for alignment with our coaching standards-movement screen proficiency, client-first ethos, and professionalism. You'll complete an in-person demo session before onboarding.
- T02
How does facility rental pricing work?
We offer three access tiers: drop-in (no commitment, standard rate), monthly credits (prepaid hours at a lower rate), or recurring reservations (locked weekly schedule, lowest per-session cost). Rates vary by time slot and session length. Clients pay their trainer directly. Visit our pricing page or use the profit calculator to model your exact costs.
- T03
Can I bring my existing clients?
Yes. Most trainers bring their current roster and continue building from there. We handle billing and scheduling logistics so you can focus on coaching. Your clients will love the upgrade in facility quality and the private, distraction-free environment.
- T04
What's included in facility access?
Full access to all equipment, private training space, client check-in system, WiFi, sound system, climate control, bathroom facilities, and storage for your gear. We handle cleaning, maintenance, and equipment upkeep. You show up and coach.
- T05
Can I teach small-group sessions?
Yes. If you're interested in offering small-group sessions (3-6 people), we'll support you with scheduling, facility setup, and promotional assistance to help you fill them. You keep the revenue from your groups minus the facility rental fee.
- T06
What if I only need a few hours per week?
That's perfect for our part-time or drop-in model. Book the hours you need, when you need them. No monthly minimums or commitments. As your roster grows, you can scale up to more consistent blocks or full-time residency.
- T07
Do you provide liability insurance?
No. Each trainer maintains their own liability insurance policy. We require proof of coverage before you start training clients. This protects both you and Mavericks. If you need a recommendation for affordable trainer insurance, we're happy to share resources.
