    I wouldn't give them anything, though I've never had a PT I've done private Muay Thai classes. Wouldn't have bought the instructor any gift. It's a service / payment relationship.

    I suppose a subscription to some sort of health and fitness magazine or a voucher for a shop you know they'd get supplements or equipment in if you really need to give them something.

    i do PT and would not expect anything off my clients, some of my clients have gave me after shave etc.. but as said its not expected.

    Rush Boxing club and Rush Martial Arts head coach.

    Oh right I thought it was standard practice to get them something as a kinda token for the work they put in. Maybe a bottle of vino then is enuff! Thanks for the advice - I must say though my PT has made a huge difference to my training and do want to acknowledge that, at least in a small way!

    Its usually the service provider who tries to show appreciation to the client at xmas. However, if they've become a friend, thats completely different.

    For the paid work they put in to make a living!

    I suppose its like anything though if you feel you've got better service than expected etc. you could give them something in the way someone might give a tip in a restaraunt when their happy with a meal.
