Job oppurtunities For A Personal Trainer?

[LawMan018]

Like the title says, I'm going to be getting a brochure soon on becoming a Personal Trainer and I want to know if I do choose to become one, where I am eligible to get a job at... I mean, I know 24 hour fitness has them, but to hell with that rip off business, where else would I be able to get hired?

Some gyms will let you pay a flat fee and that lets you use their facilities to train clients. It will be up to you to find customers and all, but if you can hustle, then you will keep most of your profits, as opposed to giving a big chunk (usually 50%) to the gym that employs you.

I think any personal trainer will tell you that your success largely hinges on your sales ability. You have to be able to sell yourself. It's not hard, you've just got to be comfortable and be able to read people a little. This ain't rocket surgery. It can be a lot of fun, though.

If you really look the part, then you are your own best advertising. Then, satisfied clients will tell all their homies about your services and you rock on from there. Good luck dude.

That is what i do. But i started at a guy to build a cust base first.

Bro get a job for any gym and then start you own business on the side.
