I did have an old buddy that would train people at one place and would workout at another place to keep it interesting, that seemed to work for him.
    That makes sense. Luckily if I start training people I can always just come on post and lift

    i just think you need to do a little more research on the industry before you decide to dive in head first, you know what i mean?
    correct, most dont make near that money and the ones who do take years to build that client base

    Anways bros and females I had an interview/chat with him and he showed me If I worked an average working day of 8 hours and 4 hours to myself I could easily make 400-500 bucks a day! This is of coarse with a bunch of clients and everything runs smooth. Also an average of 36 dollars a session for 1/2 an hour.

    He told me he would hire me and that he highly recommends I get the 2-4 month Certification that costs 500 dollars and the insurance (when I pass the test) for 120 dollars a year incase of liability issues up to 1-2 million dollar coverage.

    Think I'm going to ask for the study book/classes for Cmas and get started and start training by the summer time. Good news is I have a gym membership at Gold's gym and Anytime Fitness so I can alternate where I lift.
    let me guess he is reffering you to the insurance and place to get tested? What cert is he recommending you get?

Also have another friend who is a GM at another gym and personal trainer who said making 200-300 dollars a day is very realistic after getting the hang of it and experience. You got to start somewhere, I didn't mention on my first day I would be having 16 clients at 100 dollars a session etc etc.
    and there are a million personal trainers who spend 8 hours in the gym and dont pick up any clients.

    i've been in the fitness industry for years. The last job in the industry i would take is a personal trainer. Unless your opening your own studio its a shit job with a very high failure and turn over rate. Your better off a server
    If people can't tell your on steroids then your doing them wrong

    And for those that are dawgs you have viagra to get you through, as long as the money is right as well. I've never paid for those services before but if the right person came along I'd be willing to try just for the experience of going out with an escort. I have seen however BB'ers on Backpage offering their muscle worship (wink wink)for fees. Now then back to the original thread..

    I saw that muscle worship stuff on that Taboo show on National Geographic. They had these yoked female bodybuilders supplementing their costs by performing "shows" for clients with a muscle fetish.

    There are some male pro's that offer services to supplement them as well. I just won't name names here. Times are tuff and everyone is just trying to make a living to sustain their lifestyles.

    He showed me NASM.com but isn't trying to sell me anything just a place to get certified. I have great people skills and I sell things to customers all the time that come in not wanting to buy such is life.

    You'd probably make better money selling cars then. Even if you're great at pitching potential clients your services, it's still going to take years of being broke until you make enough clients and contacts where you're doing well in that industry. If you love fitness that much or it fits your schedule, then maybe it's good for you. But don't look for instant gratification from it.
