ACE is a tiny bit cheaper, and still accepted most places - https://www.acefitness.org/fitness-certifications/personal-trainer-certification/default.aspx .All of PT certs have had huge jumps over the last few years, just crazy jumps. I, too, remember when most were $150-300, back in the early 2010s.
15 years ago ace was 400,Issa was 600 and nasm was 800. Not a big investment to make great money. But why bother even getting the cert? Just train people if you look the part.
There seemed to be a boom of boutique fitness Studios opening up during that time. I guess the certification orgs realized they could work people for more. As said, nobody cares about them. You could just spew out a few letters and no one would know the difference.Amazing to me than anybody would still pay a trainer with all that’s available online these days.How much would insurance cost yearly for a trainer?
My buddy pays 400-500 a year for insurance.
What are you buying for your money? Does anyone even think to ask about accreditation?If you're encouraging fat housewives to go deeper into their goblet squat, sell them the healthy outdoors and meet in the damn park.Don't do business out of your house at all imo. Every weird bastard who sees your ad gets to find out where you live and what your security is like? Shit no.
Yes doing bootcamps in the park is huge and housewives pay big money for it. I remember years ago prob 10 my buddy was doing two bootcamps a day on Sat and Sundays with roughly 10 women in each class at 50 a pop for an hour so he would make 2k for 4 hours on weekends and wouldn’t work during the week from April-Oct.
Just get good legal liability waivers they sign.I question how much they’d actually help you any way. The more I deal with insurance companies the more I see they try to scam me.
I've carried worker's comp and public liability insurance for 25 years.Claims: 0.Clients who asked for proof of insurance: 2.Marketability benefit: Negligible.Current status: Rube.
That's the target market. Lazy bitches who want fitness to be something they can buy. Hey they paid the money how come they don't look like the 20yo tiktok girls!People don't want the truth. They want excuses. And not just with fitness. I liked Jocko's extreme ownership theory. Ultimately, everything is our own fault.Sorry, 3rd whiskey here lol.
Not shitting on you, but how do you not think spending $900 to make yourself more marketable is too much? Dude, it’s only $900. Even if you never do it, it’s not a huge pile of money to invest in yourself.
Not being asked for proof of insurance by a bunch of dusty aborigines doesn't equate to the situation he's facing in our litigious world.
