Personal trainers in Eltham
Eltham has more green space per person than most of inner south London, and the parkland is genuinely varied — formal gardens, woodland and big playing fields. It suits outdoor training in all seasons.
Where people train in Eltham
Avery Hill Park
Large playing fields plus woodland trails — the best all-round outdoor training site in SE9.
Eltham Park South and North
A steep slope between the two halves that trainers use for hill sessions.
Oxleas Wood and Meadow
Trail running, hill work and a genuinely good view at the top.
Eltham and Mottingham stations serve SE9, and trainers here often cover Lee and Blackheath as well.

Personal training in Eltham — questions
+How much does a personal trainer in Eltham cost?
Most one-to-one sessions in Eltham are priced between £30 and £60 an hour, set by each trainer. Rally adds a flat £2.50 booking fee per private session and £1 per open class place — there's no membership or subscription. Booking regularly? Many trainers also offer blocks of 3, 5 or 10 sessions.
+Do I have to buy a gym membership to train in Eltham?
No. Plenty of trainers in Eltham work outdoors, usually in Avery Hill Park, with no venue cost at all. If you book a trainer who works from a gym, you'll pay that gym's day pass on the day — the price is shown on their listing before you book, and Rally only lists gyms that sell day passes.
+Can I book a single session, or a block?
Both. Book one session, or a block of 3, 5 or 10 one-hour sessions with the same trainer, picking every date from their live diary. Your card is authorised, and you're only charged once the trainer accepts. You can still reschedule any single session in a block.
+What happens if I need to cancel?
Cancel more than 24 hours before the session and you're refunded everything you paid, booking fee included. Inside 24 hours, half the session fee goes to the trainer for the time they've held and the booking fee isn't returned. If the trainer cancels, you're refunded in full — booking fee included — or offered an alternative time.
+Are trainers in Eltham insured and qualified?
Every trainer on Rally submits their insurance details and qualifications, and we check them before their listing goes live. You can see their credentials on their profile before you book.
+Can I train outdoors in winter in Eltham?
Yes — most outdoor trainers run through the winter, moving to firmer paths and sheltered corners of Avery Hill Park when the ground is wet. If you'd rather be indoors, filter for gym-based trainers instead.
