What are people's thoughts on becoming a personal trainer at a local gym, such as You Fit or Planet Fitness? I was thinking about getting an ACE Personal Training Certificate and working at one of these locations. I know someone who works for You Fit.
Which one would be best to do?

very outdated profession unless you are into sports medicine ... in the long run no real money in it unless you are a trainer to the Hollywood crowd....
-
Agreed.
By the time you have paid gym fees and insurance you will be on next to nothing if your target market is average Joe. Very congested market and IMO you need a big edge these days to stand out: superb shape, private gym, pro status, medical/scientific quals or as much as it pains me, social media status.
Any of the above, you stand a chance of earning good money.
Being a 'Rent a trainer' in planet fitness working with Joe public isn't going to set you bank account on fire.

Making up never seen before shitty far less effective variations of traditional exercises that have worked fine for decades is the key to personal training success these days

Yeah, but I was thinking about putting a new spin on my training--combining weight training with kettle ball exercises.

Vince G never paid for his internet certifications

Why?
-
bj181 ?
No, drama jane walked away on beforehand when he asked about my preference
-
Why?
Free weights for mass and freedom of movement.
Hammer strength for strict, controlled slow reps.
Kettle balls for conditioning.

DO YOU THINK YOUR MUSCLE KNOWS IF ITS USING A MACHINE AS OPPOSED TO A FREE WEIGHT?

DO YOU THINK YOUR MUSCLE KNOWS IF ITS USING A MACHINE AS OPPOSED TO A FREE WEIGHT?
Yes. Someone posted an research article that the muscles respond differently to free weights vs machines.

Do you think that SF is serious all the time?
-
DO YOU THINK YOUR MUSCLE KNOWS IF ITS USING A MACHINE AS OPPOSED TO A FREE WEIGHT?
not if you dont tell your muscle
keep it in the dark
if youre going to talk to your muscles, have the conversation be about other things than free weights vs machines
talk about girls or whatever

But why put them together?
And using a kettlebell at the end of superset with 'untrained/average' people is not that wise IMO.
What are you thinking squat, leg curl, kettle bell swing?

I tired to be a trainer
Got a 4 year degree in exercise science
Even obtained my CSCS
— I hate talking about working out , something just you just need to do
—most people lie , lie about what they eat , shit they do , how cool they think they are
—no matter what you’ll always be working for someone
I do inventory at a warehouse that sells commercial gym equipment - some// gym owners are the real winners
I’d rather own st least the equipment then I’ll train but not until then , especially in the south - low income and esp low education level area are terrible to train in
Get in an area with a lot of disposable income , higher education tend to recognize fitness but a lot of immigrants do as well - for every client you like you’ll deal with 5 that are shit
Usually have to smell a few farts , one day you’ll get a fat girl on her period and it’s smells righteous , and you’ll get $13/hr maybe some sales commission but that’s taxed plus an ACE cert is like $600 + CEUs
I get paid the same but I get off everyday at 4pm, still can workout , I’m not in a fckn gym all day and I don’t have to ‘sell’ myself - hate convincing people to workout - need me to remind you you’re fat brah??

2 questions, are you in great shape? Is there a Lifetime Fitness where you live?

5 sets of bench press
5 sets of hammer strength presses
5 sets of kettle ball swings

I believe it was a reputable poster regarding training. Ill have to dig it up at some point.

I love having a trainer
i go heavier, harder, never miss work outs, work on my posing, someone to talk shit too, i buy him gifts, he can hook up with fitness honeys if needed, someone to point out my weakness.
well worth having a trainer

As a side hustle maybe. You wouldn’t make any money unless you sell you asshole to clients like coach allegedly does.

Excuse me, but I take great offense to you assuming that I do not want to become a personal trainer.

Already exist in many beach parks here in Aussie , banned from the beach by local council.
Usual short sprints, punching bags, ropes ,KB ..................
Many outdoor gyms in parks, some good ones .................

the personal trainers who make most money are the ones who got my approval along the years as sad as it is for me to admit they are the ones who make most money.. no degree and no balonie,, best degree in the world is gh15 approved and I wish it wasn't like since some of them proven themselves as filt of earth when it comes to lieing,,
ace is good but there are much better ones.. and! nothing I repeat nothing! is better than to actualy walk the walk and be an advance bodybuild before you try to make others into advance bodybuild,, or even fitntess competitors for that matter,,

Vince Basile reported me to the moderators for using his full name. What a big baby! :D :D
-
was it dj181 or gh15?
today ifbb pros work like i taught them with machines.. becaue of the type of hormones they are on.. this is what i brought into bodybuild in 2007 when i evolved the way training was really done,, today its mostly machines in the advance level,, i am to blame for it indeed but it just does the job better as simple as tht,, when you have the ability to be on the hormones i talk about and when you have the respond to them nessasery you used machines as main culprit,,
as i said in 2007 i started taking it into the machinery direction because this is what worked best,,
rest is history,,

It depends on what you look like. If you don't have a marketable look to the average guy go to work for a local gym for 6 months and eventually take your clients with you. IF your a big dude just hit up gyms in a tank top all day and you will pick up clients. I picked up a client at the supermarket yesterday and Im actually down in size right now. I'm only 220 these days...so you don't have to be "impressive" by bodybuilding standards unless you want to train other bodybuilders. Your in san francisco? Your ceiling will be 100 k a year your not going to be able to charge $100 an hour out there. You wanna make big money? Get into bootcamps, at one point I was making $150 an hour. Its a lot of work though and I got lazy, going to get back into it.
Get yourself a couple tires, a trap bar, some kettlebells and a pickup truck. All you need is 5 people in the park at $20 a pop and your making $100 an hour. And you have no overhead. Most people can't afford 1 on 1 personal training bro. Do not go to work for a gym unless you can't pick up clients on your own, they will work you to death and you may make $30 an hour if your lucky. Im certified but I can count on one hand the amount of times Ive been asked if Im certified lol. Most people don't give a shit.

Meaning Vince G gave you the link for a free internet exam? I remember that his exam was so easy that even dj181 would graduate.

We have several trainers making over 50k at my gym. One does about 80. I am on pace to make about 36 in this my first full year as a trainer working only evenings and weekends. Not great money but there's certainly some advantages.
