How to Find a Female Personal Trainer in Lahore

Silvia Shoukat, female coach at Fitnation Gym, DHA Phase 5

To find a female personal trainer in Lahore, check four things: her certifications and the level of each, the hours she actually coaches, whether the gym reserves time for women, and whether she has coached someone with your goal before. At Fitnation Gym in DHA Phase 5, female-only personal training is with Coach Silvia Shoukat, from 9 AM to 1 PM.

Plenty of gyms in Lahore say “female trainer available” and leave it there. This guide covers what that phrase should mean in practice, and the questions worth asking before you pay for a month of coaching.

What should you check before booking a female trainer?

  • Named certifications, with levels. “Certified” on its own means nothing. Ask which body issued it and at what level.
  • The hours she coaches. A female trainer who is only at the gym when you cannot be there is not available to you.
  • Who else is on the floor at that time. This is the question most gyms answer vaguely. Get a straight answer.
  • How sessions are scheduled and billed. Monthly, per session, and who decides the timings.
  • Whether she has coached your goal. Fat loss, strength, post-injury work and general fitness are not the same job.

Who is the female coach at Fitnation Gym?

Silvia Shoukat is our female coach. She offers female-only personal training from 9 AM to 1 PM and leads the women’s group class, Monday to Saturday from 10 AM to 11 AM.

Her certifications:

  • IFA Certified Fitness Trainer, Level II
  • TRX Suspension Training Certified
  • DNA-Based Training Workshop Certified

What she coaches: strength and functional training, fat loss and endurance, muscle gain, TRX, HIIT one-to-one, stretching and mobility, and nutritional guidance. You can see her alongside the other coaches on our coaches page.

Who else is on the floor during those hours?

This is the question worth being precise about, so here is our answer in full.

Ladies-only hours at Fitnation Gym run Monday to Saturday from 9 AM to 2 PM. During those hours both floors are reserved for women, and male members do not train. Male coaching staff are present for personal training sessions, and the reception desk is staffed by a female receptionist.

We state the male-coach part deliberately. A woman who arrives expecting an empty-of-men building and finds a male trainer working with a client has been misled, even if nobody meant to mislead her. Silvia’s own coaching window, 9 AM to 1 PM, sits inside those hours, so female-only training with her happens while the floors are reserved for women.

Should you choose one-to-one training or the group class?

Many members do both: the class for consistency, with one-to-one sessions when they want to fix something specific. Details of the class are on the women’s group class page, and both options are on the pricing page.

What questions should you ask in the first session?

  1. What is the plan for the first month, and what are we measuring? A good trainer can answer this on day one.
  2. What happens if something hurts? You want a coach who changes the exercise, not one who tells you to push through.
  3. How many sessions a week, and who sets the schedule? At Fitnation, personal training is billed monthly on top of your membership, and your coach sets the number and timing of sessions with you directly, around your availability.
  4. What should I do on the days we don’t train? The answer should be specific, not “cardio”.

What if you have never trained before?

That is the most common starting point, and it is the easiest one to coach. You are not expected to arrive knowing how to use anything. A reasonable first month is learning four or five basic movements properly with light weights, then adding weight slowly once the technique holds.

If you would like to see the gym during ladies-only hours before committing to coaching, a day pass is the simplest way. There is a walkthrough of a first visit in our post on what to expect on your first day.

Where is the gym, and how do you get there?

Fitnation Gym is at 147 CCA, Sector C, DHA Phase 5, Lahore, above the Bank Alfalah Islamic Penta Square branch and beside Imlaak, about two minutes from Khayaban-e-Jinnah and near The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. The entrance is on the ground floor and there is lift access.

The gym is open Monday to Saturday from 7 AM to 11 PM and closed on Sunday. Time the drive at the hour you would actually train: travel time is the most common reason people stop going, and a session you can reach in ten minutes beats a better gym forty minutes away.

In short

  • Ask for named certifications and levels, not the word “certified”.
  • Match her coaching hours to the hours you can actually train.
  • Ask exactly who is on the floor during women’s hours, staff included.
  • At Fitnation Gym, DHA Phase 5: Silvia Shoukat, female-only personal training 9 AM to 1 PM, inside ladies-only hours of 9 AM to 2 PM.
