Nothing to be ashamed of quitting a job that doesn’t pay you what you’re worth.. Chris is wrong, trainers making a quarter of their sales isn’t right, because there is no cost of having the trainer, except what the company pays them, if the other money isn’t going back into the program, just assume somebody up the chain is snorting it, laughing about how much work you do for such little pay.. I worked 13 months for a commercial gym, to prove I could do it, and it ruined my life, not worth it. Quit, especially if the company isn’t trying to grow with you, they just use you to make $75+ an hour, while you break your back charging people $100+ per session, and only keep like $25… bs, quit now, go independent, no more money for the corporation, steal the clients, they play dirty, you should too.

So true! Nowadays its better to be an online trainer! A lot of gyms rip trainers off! I study fitness and went to school for it because its a passion. Thats why my channel is about fitness but I would never work at a gym full time it would be a huge pay cut for me and gyms rip trainers off. Not all gyms of course.

@@TheTattooedRonin​​⁠ my gym said that having a bench and a rack for the trainers to have reserved for pt sessions was stupid… I had to get a 3 level back surgery because I was totally crippled after being the rack for 13 months… I could have decapitated someone doing that, but my clients always wanted to do bench, and I could curl 135 easily so they trusted me to be the rack… and I’d be getting on the ground as fast as possible with the barbel stripping the clips and a plate and putting the clips back on to do a drop set and standing up with the bar… I probably got on the ground and up again with a barbel 200 times a day. Not to mention dragging a bench and barbel, kettlebells dumbbells boxes etc to different corners of the gym multiple times per session because there was no space or priority on equipment for the trainers in my gym…. I can’t even workout anymore my body is ruined.

My only problem with personal training is the amount of people that would try to flirt with me. And I don't want anybody who was influential, influencing my ability to work. Let's face it. There's a lot of lustful People out there men and women. So when he says hunk, it definitely turns me off to look it into personal training.I don't want no man talking to me like that

Keep up the grind

Have a young friend who wants to be a trainer. He is excellent shape and I don't know what direction to advise him in..any input appreciated

3 months later, I have some advice, as someone who beat this statistic, I worked 13 months straight at crunch fitness without a break.. and it ruined my body, herniated discs, hip problems, I can’t work anymore because of it.. my advice is, get clients in a commercial gym, and if the gym isn’t paying you atleast 60% of the sales and / or doesn’t have specific equipment for trainers to use, then it’s time to find a new gym or go independent, but build a clientele that you can keep, so maybe work in the same gym for a 2-3 months, get some clients, then leave.. you do not want to stay in a gym that doesn’t have growth opportunities for trainers, they may even say they do, but they likely won’t.. I used to literally be the rack for my clients and did so much labor hauling boxes and benches around trying to build a gym within the gym, because there was 0 priority for trainers on equipment, even tho our clients were paying 100x membership per month to work with us.. you don’t owe anyone anything, you’re not lucky to be hired as a trainer. The gym is lucky to have you, especially if they barely pay you from your sales.. it’s a dirty game, play dirty, win, don’t let the gyms scam you out of your body and end your dreams of being a fitness professional, it’s not a labor job, don’t let them force you into doing hella labor because they’re too cheap to buy equipment for the people making them hundreds of thousands every year. I made the gym 3 grand a week, my pay checks barely made 1000 😭🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
