It’s harder to skip a workout if the fitness regimen is customized for you. That’s the idea behind fitness concierge services like FITiST and SIN Workouts, which build personalized workouts around people’s fitness goals and busy schedules. Most of the sessions are scheduled at boutique fitness studios or with coveted trainers in cities of the clients’ own choosing. High-paying gym junkies can mix up their workouts with different goal-oriented sessions at multiple gyms while tapping into the industry knowledge of fitness concierges who will sign them up for the sweatiest boot camp or trendiest yoga instructor. It’s taking off with frequent travelers, who never have to take a week off Pilates. Like any good hotel concierge, a fitness concierge can provide workout options in unfamiliar cities. But the services are pricey, with triple-digit monthly consulting fees on top of individual studio fees.
