PERSONAL TRAINER SALARY

Personal trainer salary can range from minimum wage to $250 per hour and up!

Personal Trainer Salary

Personal trainer salary can range from minimum wage to $250 per hour and up. I offer my personal training in Los Angeles and know a couple personal trainers charging $300 per session and one charging $500 per session. Both these personal trainers do most of their personal training with celebrities. Of course I know some personal trainers working for the large health clubs and fitness centers like Ballys Health Club, LA Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness, who make $12 – 15 per session.

Los Angeles Personal Trainer Salary

The average personal trainer salary here in Los Angeles is about $60 per session, with sessions lasting around an hour. I’d say for independent personal trainers, the range is from $40 per session to $75, with the higher end personal trainers making from $75 to $100. It seems like a hundred dollars is a difficult barrier to get over, and you must be a celebrity personal trainer to be able to charge higher than a hundred dollars per session.

Personal Trainer Salary Location

Personal training location obviously plays a huge role. I currently offer my personal training in Los Angeles, and Los Angeles personal trainer can charge a higher amount and therefore have a higher personal trainer salary. New York personal trainers, Chicago personal trainers, Phoenix personal trainers, all can charge higher amounts and have higher personal trainer salaries. Therefore, the bigger the city, the higher the personal trainer salary.

Personal Trainer Clients

The richer the client, the more they will be able to pay you a higher personal trainer salary. This is only true of independent personal trainers. But there are the obvious risks that go along with being an independent consultant. First, you own your own business. You have to do all the accounting, marketing, managing. You would need to get a business license, get personal trainers insurance, do your own taxes. The most challenging part of being an independent personal trainer is marketing your personal training services. If you work for a large health club or fitness center, most if not all these things are done for you.

Independent Personal Trainer

Many times to be an independent personal trainer, it depends on what you can offer to the clients. Do you have a fitness degree or a degree related to fitness, health, or medicine. Do you have a personal training certification. How much personal training experience do you have. Do you look like a personal trainer? How many years have you been working out? How’s your personality? Do you get along with people easily. Do you like to teach i.e. are you a teacher? Do you like to heal i.e. are you a healer?

In the end, a personal trainers salary is a function of education, personal knowledge and personal fitness level, personal trainer certification, and years of personal training experience.
