Hi, Mari. I recently convinced the gym owner I "work for" to treat me as an independent contractor thereby making it easier for him and much more profitable for me. I pay him "rent" every month-$75.00. The clients then pay me directly. Currently, all of my clients buy 9 sessions at a time for a total of $230.00. Prior to this, I was making 60% of every session. I've brought quite a few members to the gym and currently have 15 clients at a gym that had zero less than 1 year ago. I don't know if you are looking at hiring a trainer or becoming one, but I taught at the secondary level for 14 years prior to this and haven't had a single regret. It's so incredibly rewarding plus I'm my own boss! Hope any of this helped!
