    Become a Personal Trainer??  — 5 months ago

    Worth doing!

    Been there done that and still doing it! Depending on your age, level of education and motivation, being a personal trainer can be a great way to bank a little extra cash or to make a full-fledged business.

    BUT!! Beware, even if you can charge $70/hour, you still have to pay rent at the gym, pay for your own marketing and for liability insurance. Your clients can sue you. Seriously. If that sounds like a lot of trouble, then go work for a gym – your pay will be $7-$54/hour, but you won’t have to worry about the rest of that stuff.

    Don’t expect to charge $70+ and hour until you have trained 1000 hours of clients. You’ll understand me when you get there – that’s only 3 hours a day for 1 year. But the 1000 hour mark distinguishes you from the wannabe gym rats to a professional.

    I get $140/hour. I also have 8 years of experience and I have a very targeted niche clientèle.

    When you are just getting started, go to a good local gym, talk to the trainers, ask what courses they used and what they would do differently.

    FYI: get your own insurance just in case. It isn’t that expensive and if something happens . . . you could be on the hook for YEARS. No kidding!

    Everything thats connected to become better looking getting more and more popular right now. Look at all the money Plastic Surgeons, Cosmetic dentists, Hair stylists, Personal trainers makes a year. Look at all the life coaches.
    All those people earning lots of money and getting very rich.
    A personal trainer can easly charge 70$ a hour, so if you work 5 times a week and each day you train 5 people its 1750$ a week based on 70$ a hour (nearly 8,000$ a month). Not bad.

    Not sure about this now...  — 9 months ago

    I mean I still want to do it, but I don’t know if it’s my career choice. I want to eventually be a doctor. This still sounds like something I would not only enjoy doing, but something that I would be good at.
