Hi Matthew,

I have done so under exceptional circumstances and with the understanding that this was temporary. The example I have is a client who has lost her job and was very stressed about no being able to find another one easily. She had been a client for years, and I knew that it was extremely important for her well-being to continue to exercise (and have the counseling that goes along with personal training). After she had a new job, she started paying regular rates.

I did as well. It’s not just about the money that motivated me to choose this profession.

Hello Matthew Feldman,
It depends on the client and the situation. Yes, I have reduced rates in emergency situations. Other than that, no; people find the money for their priorities. What is more important than health?
Thank you,
Natalie aka NAPS 2 B Fit.

I’ve offered this Twice in the last few years, per client requests. One client was honest and forthcoming; one was absolutely not. So I’d say, yes, but we must use our intuition.
