Cultural Tip
In German‑speaking countries it is perfectly acceptable to ask about price directly, but the level of formality matters. Use the informal ‘du’ only if the trainer has invited you to do so; otherwise switch to the polite ‘Sie’. Also, many trainers offer package discounts, so asking about a “10‑Stunden‑Paket” can lead to a better deal.
