340k a year means he's making 931 dollars a day and this is a 7 day week. On personal training......BULLSHIT!!!
stranger things happen,,, and think the sayin goes something like,,, "nothing is easier than to part a fool from his money"
if you look at it on a daily avg., then it doesn't seem right but if you look at it as 30k a month then it makes more sense...
further more by the # of clients. if he has 30 high profile clients that pay 10k a piece for x amount of sessions, then it makes more sense.
quick story that was a article years back.
there was a guy in prison that went thru and got his personal training cert., when he got out he was working out in a gym that had celebs.... he saw ben affleck training with a pt,,, apparently th pt wasnt in great shape,,, the parolee seeing this and who was at the time in very great shape himself,,, approached ben a when the trainer was away and told him if he wanted to get serious training, give him a call, he said he had a client for an hour and would be back... parolee then hid in a closet as not to be seen... an hour later he went back out and was approached by ben a and the rest is history.
point is many in that story,,, sales for any biz is important,,, even if your product is sh!t you can make $$$ conversely u could have a great product and make sh!t if you have poor sales/ad/mrkt. biz has nothing to do with training or certifiactions or qualifications, business is business. you can sell a product for any price, if someone will buy it.
high profile trainers can make $1,000 per session,,, that's a far cry from the $75 at the sport club,,, which is split between the gym and the trainer, lol.
some have packages train for a month, which includes diet,,, phone calls with every meal,,, lol. 10k a month per client,,, 6 month packages... only need a few clients like that and your in that 340k range. again these are avgs.
you have to figure the lows and highs.
again, business is business and it's just as competitive as any sport.
