Personal Trainer Salary- In gym

[wabn04]

I was wondering the average salary/hr. of someone who works in a gym.. I do not want to be an independent contracter as of yet, and am wondering if I can make around 20/hr. by working through a gym and what that includes.. what if I train a client for an hour, then don't have a client for another hour, then a client, etc. do I still get paid the 20/hr or is it lower because I don't have a client if I am still on the clock? Thanks

you get paid for the sessions you train and it can be around $15-20, depending on experience. if your schedule is not back to back, then your dead hours are unpaid. some gyms will have floor time which you do evaluations etc but thats min wage for the most part. if you don't want to go independent, thats what you are looking at.

I get $45.00 per hour ... the gym gets $15.00 so in total customer pays $60.00

If you think thats too rich .... well i have a 3 week waiting list of people who want my time . Supply VS demand so it depends where you live as to what you can get away with as far as a fee

are you at a corporate gym or an independent contractor and pay by the session?

Personal trainers are for people too lazy to look things up.

Good thing that there are many of those people.

Over here a PT gets depending on his/her (let's not be sixist) rank. If you want a more experienced trainer, you pay more.

P.S. you should see how trainers show off to each other, it's horrable.

LOL.

i guess people could look up how to change their alternator.

i guess people could look up how to take a throat culture.

i guess people could look up how to make a souffle.

i guess people could look up how to do anything really.....

people pay for what they want to have a specialist learn and apply to their unique situation....thats why its a personal trainer and not a workout generator.
