The verb 'bringen' requires a dative object, so you must use the dative pronoun 'dir', not the nominative 'du'.
Was bringst dir Personal Training?
Because the subject is implicit (the thing that brings – 'Personal Training'), the verb stays in third‑person singular 'bringt', not second‑person 'bringst'.

Cultural Tip
In German‑speaking countries personal training is often marketed as a premium service. When asking this question, keep the tone friendly and avoid sounding overly sales‑y; Germans appreciate directness but also value authenticity. In some regions (e.g., Bavaria) you might hear the term 'Fitnesstraining' instead of the English loanword.
