Blockhead, i totally disagree. I have been a trainer for nearly 10 years now, worked for Golds for a big part of that time, felt more like a salesman than a trainer, Left a year ago and opened my own studio with a female partner, we have 3 independant trainers that work out of our 1220 sq. ft studio and they almost pay our monthly rent.
I couldnt be happier, pulling in 5 to 6 k a month doing what i love.
and im in fricken Boise Id.
Were u in the Gold's in Boise? I believe they run the Apex program. Is that what you did?
