**ToTheBuckeT21** · 03-15-2006, 12:58 AM

So heres the deal.. I'm going to be starting nursing school pretty soon basicly monday through friday 9am-5pm and i'm gonna have to study my ass off.. so i can't work alot. I was thinking about becoming a personal trainer so i can pretty much make my own schedual and make some loot. Now i know i can work for a gym and be one of their on staff trainers but thats not really my own schedual.. So does anyone train private.. like self employed? and if so what are ur rates like and how does that work with getting ur clients to come to ur gym and such? any info would be great thanks

Well i do It like this....

I pay a gym x amount each week to use there equipment.

To start with I was working for the gym, the gym was paying me each month as i had no clients.

After 3 months it changed so I was paying them each week but wasn’t working for them if you see what I mean.

So the 3 months gave me time to get clients, I had a head start as I also work in the local muscle shop, I new most ppl at the gym. This helped.

So now im self employed but i have rent to the gym each week.

It sounds good yes but its really not like that, after training ppl all day I just don’t want to train there my self at all, I train a another gym.

It’s a bit like asking a porn star if he is bored of having sex, as mad as it sounds I bet he would say yes.

is that monopoly money??

jk...

not bad.. i have a trainer that wants $1000 for 20 sessions, including diet and nutrtion..

problem is after talking to him, i know as much as he does.. he's just been more dedicated to the art than me.. and he's 20 yrs younger..

What i am looking for is someone that i pay to workout with me, and i pay him if i'm there or not..

so still looking for that one guy..
