Personal training in Dee Why is sold four ways at Mr PT Fitness: single sessions from $55, a 10-session pack, a 20-session pack, and ongoing weekly direct debit, with the per-session rate dropping at each step. Mr PT Fitness is a private home studio at 35 McIntosh Road, Dee Why, run by Matt Reilly, a personal trainer with 10+ years' experience. Which one you buy should come down to how often you will realistically train, not how much you feel like spending up front.
What personal training packages does Mr PT Fitness offer?
There are four ways to buy 1-on-1 training at the Dee Why studio, and they differ by commitment rather than by what happens in the session. Every option includes the same thing: a programme written for your goals and injury history, the session itself, nutrition guidance within personal-trainer scope, between-session check-ins, and full studio access with no separate gym membership.
| Option | Best for | Commitment | Per-session rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single session | Testing the studio, ad-hoc training | None | Full rate, from $55 |
| 10-session pack | Training once a week | 10 prepaid sessions | Lower than single |
| 20-session pack | Training twice a week | 20 prepaid sessions | Lower again |
| Ongoing weekly direct debit | Clients past the 6-month mark | Two weeks' notice to stop | Lowest |
Small group training from $25 per person (max 4) and online coaching from $50 per week sit alongside these and can be mixed in. The full tier-by-tier breakdown, including what other Northern Beaches trainers charge, is in how much a personal trainer costs in Dee Why. You can also see each format listed on the services section of the homepage.
Which package should I start with?
Start with a single session or a 10-pack. Almost nobody should buy 20 sessions before they have trained with a coach at least once. The honest sorting rule after 10 years of doing this:
- Never trained with a PT before: book the free 15-minute consult, then a single session. You will know inside one hour whether the coaching style suits you.
- Committed to once a week: the 10-pack. It covers 10 weeks, which is long enough to see real strength change.
- Training twice a week with a body-composition goal: the 20-pack. Two sessions a week for 10 weeks is the setup that produces the clearest results.
- Past six months of consistent training: ongoing weekly direct debit. The lowest rate, and no repeat purchases to think about.

Do packages actually cost less per session?
Yes. The per-session rate drops at the 10-session mark and drops again at 20 sessions or on ongoing weekly direct debit. Exact package rates are confirmed in the consult rather than published as a flat number, because they depend on how often you train and whether you are training solo or as a pair.
The part most people miss is that a package only saves money if the sessions get used. Ten sessions bought and five completed works out more expensive per completed session than simply paying $55 as you go. Buy the pack that matches the week you actually live, not the week you are hoping for.
How long does a 10-pack last?
A 10-session pack runs about 10 weeks at one session a week, or five weeks at two, and the sessions stay valid for 12 months from purchase either way. That timeline matters because of how results arrive: most clients notice strength changes at 4 to 6 weeks and visible body-composition changes at 8 to 12 weeks.
So a 10-pack at one session a week covers a full first strength block. A 20-pack at two a week covers a complete body-composition block with sessions to spare. Booking-wise, the studio runs weekdays 5:30am to 7pm and Saturdays 6am to 12pm, and the 5:30, 6:00 and 6:30am slots fill first, so it is worth locking your regular time in when you buy.
What happens to sessions I do not use?
Unused sessions in a 10 or 20-session pack stay valid for 12 months from the date of purchase, so a holiday, a work trip, or a bout of flu does not cost you anything. The surrounding rules are short:
- Cancellations: 24 hours' notice gets a free reschedule. Inside 24 hours the session is forfeited unless it is illness or an emergency, in which case call or text and it gets sorted.
- Stopping altogether: sessions are not contracts. Direct-debit clients give two weeks' notice. No exit fees, no admin charges.
- Pausing: a pack can simply sit unused until you are back, inside the 12 months.
When is a single session still the right call?
Single sessions make sense if you train less than once a week, travel too often to hold a regular slot, or want a form check on a programme you already run yourself. There is no upsell attached to that. Paying as you go is the cheaper choice for genuinely irregular training, and a pack bought under pressure tends to go half-used.
If travel is the real obstacle rather than budget, online coaching from $50 per week usually beats both. It keeps the programme and the weekly accountability going from anywhere, and you can move back to studio sessions when your schedule settles.
