PT Questions.

[MFT81]

Going to start PT at my local gym soon, The owner and I are in the process of ironing out the details, and a few questions poped up in my head.

maybe some of you guys could offer a few pearls of wisdom.

1. If you worked in***endently out of someone elses gym, What kind of split do you think is fair, the owner suggested if I do training on the clock (as ill be working front desk, etc.) it would be 50-50, If it was on my own time, he said 75-25 (75 to me/25 gym)

2. What kind of package deals do you run? Do you offer a cheaper price for more sessions, Do you refund all sessions if they cancel entirely? Do you refund if they cancel a session last minute?

3.Do any of you offer program design, and how many weeks long? How about Diet plans? What do you charge on avg?

4. What are some of your fav ways to train clients? Circut? Cross-train? Traditional Bodybuilding esq?

5. How many times do you refer a client to see a physician due to health problems, What are the minimum health assesments you do before starting an exercise program.

6. How many chicks can I expect to hook up with?


I know this thread sucks, and these are boring questions but if anyone could offer there advice that would be awesome!

I am a personal training manager, right now I am over 10 other trainers and the prices vary from $61- $100 an hour ***ending on the expierance of the trainer and how many sessions they buy. The split is 60-40, 60% to the trainer but we also offer a 401k, health, dental, paid time off. We have clients get a physians approval anytime they have health risk or injuries, and or they sign a waiver of liability saying they have spoken to their physican about starting an exercise program. If you start to hook up with chick you will hurt your self in the long run because it really hurts your credibility with other gym members which are potential clients. I use all different health assesments mosty to find muscle imbalance that should be corrected before they start. I don't train most of my clients like body builders because that's not what they usually want or need. I usually use fully integrated and functional exercises. No refunds unless they have a physians waiver saying they cannot exercise anymore. Hope that helps a little sorry about the misspellings I am in a hurry.

I have one trainer that makes over 120k a year working from 5am to 12pm and an hour or two in the evening. Best job ever man.

He only takes 1/2 hr clients and charges a buttload.

What are his qualifications,

I myself will only be ACE cert, So im afraid I might be selling myself short at some point in time with out a college degree.
