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
