been thinking of doing this
what sort of coin does a PT make?
if they are not dealing steroids and party drugs?

You should look into obtaining a CSN, MFT. Granted, very few can earn this prestigious title but it could potentially lead to you heading a worldwide fitness conglomerate like Vince Goodrum, CSN MFT and the Caliber Fitness Empire.

That is a lot of money for a workout partner.
Maybe I don't understand it.

yup, and the longterm clients never change. some get fatter over the years.
if you can't motivate yourself to train three hours a week, then you also will not be disciplined with your diet or to do cardio on your days off.

If you work for a commercial gym not very much, if you're an independent contractor and you treat it like a business and hustle, easily over $100k.

That is extremely high. I would imagine most make $15 an hour.

Median does not mean average, it's meaningless to the OP's question.

I know but it's the closest stat I could find!! Perhaps getbigshit resident trainers can chime in!

The median makes a better job describing wages since wages don't follow a normal curve.

Well no-one makes top dollar starting out

It provides a range.
Plus, there's so much more context that needs to be added to the OPs question to make it relevant anyway.

Friend of mine makes $18 an hour at 1 of the 24 hour chains.

This, most work awful hours all day until 9pm at night, half the clients don't even show up and they make next to nothing and have to work a second job.
Only people I know that make good money run there own business, know plenty who started out in there house and expended into a business over time and do very well.
-
I am not sure that I could stand watching the same people come and zombie through the same workout with the same weights days after day and make no progress. Then to listen to their excuses why they couldn't eat right and couldn't train and blah, blah, blah.
-
It can pay a decent wage, especially considering the low entry requirement.
Don't do it unless you know you're a good salesman, otherwise you'll crash and burn
-
A dude at my gym, no idea what he was making there, too a private training/diet guru job for a rich dude who pays him low six figures. The expectations are high though, as he travels with him and stuff like that.

This is like asking "how big can my biceps get, I'm thinking of lifting weights" and then having folks from the Internet chime in with pictures of IFBB pros.
Location matters A LOT. Are there people with high incomes in your area who can afford such a luxury? Do some math. Assume $40 for an hour. How many people do you think you could talk into paying this? How many hours do you think you'd get someone to buy a week?
Then after your rosy assumptions, cut that in half. Also you won't have health insurance.

My guess is the the average rep counter makes a very under average 30k. That is the reason most trainers are driving 10+ yr old cars, living in shitty one bedroom apartments , single, with 0 play money.

If you're a rep counter then yes, that's about right. If you're an actual trainer then you're living a pretty comfy lifestyle. Nothing wrong with driving 10 year old cars. Millionairs do it everyday.

.......unless you're 50 years old driving a 1994 slammed primered s-10 truck then you might want to rethink things.

What if said truck is slightly newer but the hood is up to your neck?

Spoke a high-end PT last week, and he rates 3000-11000 EUR for a '3 month transformation'

Transformations are a great way to bring in new clients. We run 1-2 big campaigns a year that gets us about 30 + in.

I was impressed by his presentation, both in-person as well as on social media. He has an exclusive in-house deal with a well-equipped hotel gym with a separate PT studio, located at a business airport.

Respect and love are different things. You don't have respect for animals & children, but you still 'love' them, Pedonky

I do it about 5-6 hours a week (on the side) and make an extra 15k per year.
Just try to find a gym that doesn't take a large % and it is extremely profitable

Things about a trainer like you tools keep saying
60-100k/year ? - my ass, you talk about being an independent contractor as well?? File a 1099 and then have to pay taxes , badass making 40k all of a sudden goes down to 25k esp with child support, owning a car , or property which many personal trainers don't (ones 25-35 working as independent contractors in the south) top 5-15% of trainers do well - mimics the same model as salesman in ANY company , it's not like every gym is a gold mine and consistency and repetitiveness are key to making money
Once again an independent contractor -- file for your LLC, plus some type of liability insurance since your not on anyone's payroll or health insurance (add about $500/month if you are married or have a kid - unless your paying out of pocket for health care - goes up
I see the good 'trainers' at my gym struggle with car payments , every time taxes come up and they have a 1099 for last 2 years they have some issuer with owning $, they always rent with a Roomate , and God forbid they have a kid and they girl left wanting $
I have my CSCS and LLC and I don't train full time - it's shit - they 'hustle' you speak of is bothering people - your walking around thinking you know what can make people better - at least down south this is apparent everywhere , most people want to be 'healthy' but 'not look like you' - they want a buddy to bullsiht with
Glad I have something other than PT
