You sound pretty sure about that Ed...are you?

I think Ed has underestimated any Getbigger's earning potential.

Most PTs don't make shit and are stupid. There are select PTs that probably make good dough. They're probably the reason why the pay scale even reaches 30 k a year lol

It's like any other business.

Some people do great, some don't. People have a hard time grasping this

Exactly.

Also, we are not all Americans here. In my country it is very well paid, very. I am sure many have read/heard about rich people who have 'summer homes' or retire in the tropics, well people like that make up a % of my gym members. <insert somebody saying that is false here>

Those numbers posted, no way could I hire a trainer for that, as I can't hire crappy folks, I need top guys who have solid papers, knowledge, personalities and physiques - and they don't work for $30k.

  • It’s all a fraud
Thousands of trainers make at least that much.

Gimme a break. I doubt there are 100 trainers in NYC making 100K.

all the salaries for the aforementioned "fitness and physical" careers sound about right. yeah, some p.t. do make bank, but boy do they have to hustle and hustle some more for the rest of their lives (who wants to do that!) i myself plan on getting certified to p.t. but only for a very small little sidejob to make some extra cash, i'm talking like maybe 5 to 6 hours a week and that's it. an hour each night after my regular 9 to 5 job.

as far as famous fitness people who aren't pro bber's here's an example: perhaps the 3 most famous fitness/bodybuilding stars who were never pro bber's are mike o'hearn, bill davey and clark bartram. all have tons of mag covers, tv appearances, etc. right now o'hearn is a american gladiator who also has done a bunch of b movies, but has money and stock in various enterprises as well. financially stable and successful.

bill davey no longer competing or modeling now co-owns and runs one of southern florida's best and biggest gyms ( the omni club in ft.myers,fla) and charges 100.00 an hour for personal training.financial stable and successful

clark bartram, tv shows (flex appeal, american health and fitness), workout videos, spokesperson for various fitness equipment, companies,etc.financial stable and successful.

so those are the money making routes currently of the 3 most successful and well known in the bb/fitness industry who didn't make money as pro bber's and were supposedly natural of all time , but what about the average joe bber/fitness competitor/model. (personal training until their 70? owning a gym until their 70? what else is there?

I now completely understand why you vote republican, and no longer support Clinton.

You're going to lose $30 to $40k of that money the minute Obama takes oath.  maybe more.
