Personal Training & Individualized Coaching in Ballard
Fall in Love with Fitness
Unlock your potential with personal training or individualized coaching designed for you at a fraction of the cost of a one-on-one personal trainer.
Why choose Individualized Design for Personal Training?
At Polaris, we offer personalized training in our Individualized Design (ID) program. This offers you all the benefits of individualized coaching, but for roughly half the cost and with more scheduling flexibility.
We also offer one-on-one personal training, but at $139 per hour, most don’t have the budget to train frequently enough to get the best results. Individualized Design (ID) is our version of personal training, but better.
Individualized Design (ID) is fitness & lifestyle coaching designed for you, based on where you are today, and where you want to go. Our customized approach allows our coaches to work with current or past injuries, limitations, or different comfort levels with working out in a gym.
Don’t wait, your better life starts today.

How much does personal training cost in Seattle?
1:1 personal training usually costs between $100-$200 per hour long session in Seattle. While we offer personal training in this price range, we find more people are better served by either small group personal training or individualized design. Mostly because we can offer 2-3 sessions per week at half the cost of 1:1 personal training.
Do I need to be in shape before starting personal training?
No. Personal training is designed to meet you where you are. Whether you’re brand new to fitness, getting back into a routine, or looking to level up, your program should be built around your current ability and goals.
What happens during my first session?
Your first session usually focuses on learning about your goals, fitness history, injuries, and experience level. From there, your trainer can assess movement, answer questions, and create a plan that fits you.
How often should I train with a personal trainer?
That depends on your goals, schedule, and budget. Many clients start with 1 to 3 sessions per week. Consistency matters more than perfection, and the right plan should feel realistic and sustainable.
Can personal training help with weight loss, strength, or general fitness?
Yes. Personal training can support a wide range of goals, including fat loss, muscle building, improved strength, better mobility, more energy, and overall confidence in the gym. A good program is tailored to your specific priorities.
What if I have injuries or physical limitations?
Our experienced coaches will take those into account and adjust your workouts accordingly. Exercises can be modified to help you train safely while still making progress. Always share any injuries, pain, or medical concerns before starting.
