Arnold Schwarzenegger is almost certainly the most expensive personal trainer of all time, having recently 'charged' $150,000 for a gym session with him.
The Hollywood legend auctioned off the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity at a fundraiser for the charity ‘After-School All-Stars’ which he has been running for the last 30 years.

The charity provides after-school programs and exercise for 100,000 kids in 60 cities, and on Saturday night, Schwarzenegger held a fundraiser at his home in the hopes of helping even more children.
By all accounts, it was a huge success, and the Terminator star even took to social media to celebrate the millions - $5.2million to be exact - they had raised in just one night.
“We raised over 5 million dollars last night for After-School All Stars,” Schwarzenegger wrote on social media.
“Thank you to all of our donors. I started this program with a vision of keeping kids safe and growing between 3-6pm, but we couldn’t serve 100k kids in 60 cities without you."
Earlier this week, Arnie attended the world-famous Gold's Gym in Venice with Morris Flancbaum who bid the reported $150,000 and won the honour of getting a good pump on with a man considered one of the greatest bodybuilders in history.
The man from Florida and his sons got pointers from Schwarzenegger in front of a crowd of people after he had also auctioned off clothes, humidors, art and a ride in his tank.

And they were in good hands considering they were being coached by a man who won the Mr Universe title at the age of 20 and then seven Mr Olympia crowns.
While the auction made $1.75 million, the vast majority of funds were raised by guests paying $50,000 to attend the event that hosted the likes of Danny Devito, Sylvester Stallone and Dolph Lundgren.
The charity that is clearly doing great work has just opened a school program in Uvalde, Texas, at the request of the City. It only took 45 days to get the program up and running.
Schwarzenegger combines his charity work with a still fledgling career in entertainment. The 75-year-old is set to star in Kung Fury 2 later this year and also features in the soon-to-be-released Netflix series Utap.
