Personal Training in Thessaloniki
Personal Training at Somatos Techni Fitness Boutique is a personalised training experience, designed exclusively around you, your goals and your needs. With the right guidance of a personal trainer, we create a programme adapted to your level, your time and your lifestyle, so every session brings you closer to the result you want.
Our personal trainers are physical education graduates certified in Pilates and Functional Training, and they accompany you every step of the way, with consistency, safety and personal care, at our two studios in the centre of Thessaloniki, at Pavlou Mela 18 and 21.
Who Personal Training is for
Training with a personal trainer is the most direct and safest choice when you want results by design, not by chance. It is for:
- Anyone starting from zero or returning to exercise after years away, who wants to learn correct technique from day one.
- Anyone with a specific goal: fat loss, muscle strength, better posture, endurance or preparation for a race such as HYROX.
- Anyone with lower-back, neck or knee pain who needs a programme that respects their body.
- Anyone returning to exercise after an injury, pregnancy or childbirth, with a gradual, controlled load.
- Anyone with limited time who wants every minute of training to count.
- Anyone who does not feel at ease in group classes and prefers the calm of a one-to-one session.
How training with a personal trainer works at Somatos Techni
Every collaboration follows the same simple path, so the programme starts from where you really are:
- Initial assessment. We talk through your history, goals, daily routine and any injuries, and check posture, mobility and strength.
- Programme design. Your personal trainer builds a plan adapted to your level, with clear intermediate goals.
- One-to-one sessions. In every session the trainer is exclusively yours: correcting technique, adjusting intensity and adapting the programme in real time.
- Reassessment. At regular intervals we measure progress and readjust the plan, so your body keeps evolving.
A session can combine functional training with free weights and TRX, with exercises on the Reformer and the Cadillac, depending on what your body needs that day. The equipment of a fitness boutique, without the crowds of a big gym.
What you gain with a personal trainer
- A programme built for your own body, not for the average.
- Correct technique in every exercise, so fewer injuries and more results.
- Faster progress, because intensity and repetitions are adjusted the moment it matters.
- Consistency: the appointment with your trainer is a commitment that gets kept.
- A programme that evolves with you instead of standing still.
- Discretion and calm, in a boutique space in the centre of Thessaloniki.

Frequently asked questions
What is personal training?
An exclusive one-to-one training experience, with a personal trainer and a programme designed solely for your own goals, needs and schedule. With the right guidance and a personalised approach, every session becomes a step closer to your progress.
Do I need experience to start?
Not at all. The initial assessment takes into account exactly your starting point, whatever it is.
Personal trainer or group class?
It depends on your goal and your starting point. If you have a specific goal, an injury, or want to learn correct technique, a personal trainer gives faster and safer results. Many people combine both: one-to-one sessions alongside group Reformer Pilates or Functional Training classes.
How often should I do personal training?
Usually two to three sessions a week give steady progress. The exact frequency is set together with your trainer at the initial assessment, depending on your goal, level and available time.
Can I combine personal training with Pilates?
Yes! You can choose one-to-one Pilates sessions on Reformer or Cadillac, Functional Training, or another type of training we offer. Your personal trainer adapts each session to your needs, level and goals, whether you want to focus on one method or combine different types of exercise.
