Group Coaching sessions are paid for through either through the training sessions link directly, or through the purchase of a 50 Coaching sessions voucher (which are used as a discount code for the training sessions).

For a single 2 hour session, the typical cost will be $20. We will aim to subsidise some special sessions, and high performance sessions may be more expensive. When paying for a full term or full holiday program in advance, you will receive a roughly 30% discount.
For members with "Coaching Hours" purchased in 2025, we will honour those hours via vouchers "2h" which will be manually processed in the back end until you are our of hours. To book in to training sessions using previously purchased coaching hours, see the instructions here. If you would like to see your previously purchased coaching hours balance, see the instructions here. Once you move to individual discount codes, your balance will show 0, as you will be individually tracked separately within the RevolutioniseSPORT system.
