A lot of trainers make below the poverty line type income and need a second job to make ends meet. The stress from the higher ups take sales or to afford the trainer's rent at a private studio makes a lot of people stop loving it. If you live in am area where hiring a trainer is normal and common, and people got money, then go for it. For most people though, you gotta get a normal job and then just train people for fun on the side.

This is so informative. I’m 31 and am tired of working for people. I’d legitimately love to be a personal trainer, as I also feel like the gym is my second home. I’ve been looking into this casually, but I might take a step further.

Being a six figure $ trainer is NOT some justification that this guy is an authority. He works in SF. If he had six figures working in an area that can’t support paying $100-$200+/ hr, then sure. Any real trainer would make it clear that as far as being a trainer, being a certified one is a must. Non-certified trainers not only can get people hurt, but they potentially give a negative reputation to the profession. But what certification you seek depends on your goals-do you want to work for yourself or for a gym? Gyms WILL care what certification you have. Otherwise, he’s correct that most clients won’t have any idea one way or the other. He is right about how long it can take clients and how important it is to discover exactly what your niche is, but even more so (if you want to be independent), you need to discover who your ideal client is. Once you know who your ideal client is, discover their “pain point.” The pain point is the problem they have that you can help them with.

Agreed, but also working at a commercial gym won't let you make a lot of money unless you work in a big city with affluent people. In a small town with lower income people, gyms aren't gonna pay much. The local gyms here want certified trainers (although they also hire non certified ones. They just don't tell the public that) and pay the trainers $6 a client for 30 minute sessions

This is a great video , my start date is coming up soon. Thank you!! 👊🏽💪🏽

Great video. Directed the interview extremely well, almost thought I was watching a fitness channel lol. aspiring to be a cpt, weightlifting/fitness is my passion

Thanks for all the value in this video

The thing that really scares me is that compared to other fields like IT there is a lack of an organisation or company or individual that supports you or provides feedback on your performance once you finished your cert. Its sort of a market yourself juggle everything kinda thing. Its some of that stuff i heard from ppl that done it. And that flawed buisness model needs to change This is a creative field that i love.

Awesome video! I'm already NASM AFAA group fitness certified instructor but the test was pretty hard so I'm thinking of going with ACE or ISSA to get my certified personal trainer next.

Impressed by your interview skills, T. You directed the convo and had a great lineup of questions.

This ACE PT probably has made at most 200k at one stage when he was working balls to the wall. This man probably works 6-7 days per week and in excess of 60 hours per week. Don't let the correlation of the high dollar amount and the job title fool you. It is hard work and not "easy money". I thought I'd point this out there because of the title and feel like it wasn't really pointed out in the video. Not trying to put down the video, I thought it was a great interview and Jimmy sounds like he really is passionate about his work. I am currently studying for my ACE exam and will be aiming to revolutionize the way training happens in my own way. I think I am among the few that are studying at a college for this particular exam as I see a lot more people doing this Certification via online and on their own. I totally relate with Jimmy when I see those PT's that are there just to count and don't have their heart in on it or aren't client focused.

@builtbyjimmy

@@epicipodmodz I think people will be able to give you a more straightforward answer once you define some of the variables for them (which gym, which city, etc.). I think you can estimate it like this. Personal Training is a hustle business. If you are someone that has been characterized as a "hustler" or a "hard worker", you will excel in this field. For example, if you've ever had to hand out flyers at college for a school club, how successful were you? If you've ever played sports, what type of player were you? I think answering those for yourself will give you a good idea as to if you'll succeed. The fact of the matter is there are millions of trainers making a living right now so it's something that is being done.

How is the work life balance as a fitness trainer? It is important to me to maintain my freedom as well as make money. I quit my 9-5 because it felt like I lived at work rather than with my family.

@builtbyjimmy

Work life balance will depend on your time commitment to your work. I think personal training is actually well suited for work life balance because you can be extremely flexible with your schedule. Of course, like anything, what you put in is what you get out so I would weigh that into your decision if you want to become a personal trainer. Maybe looking into training at a corporate gym would be best for you since you would train clients from 9-5 just like a regular job.

I would follow the business model for a private trainer. First, I would coach in a regular team with an organization behind it. I would climb the ladder to get the higher level players and then start picking the top recruits for personal sessions on improvement. Some may go on to play professionally and then you will be set for life as you can use those players for referrals and authority.

I passed my test with NASM. It’s really insightful and helpful. The OPT model is hands down the best foundation that I could’ve received. Having said that, if you already have college education and know how to study on your own, I recommend just purchasing the book itself. Instead of doing the full course. If you have the money, go ahead and drop the $1500 like I did, but there are other options. Best of luck!

I also suggest just buy the book from like Amazon instead of buying all of the course information. Quizlet and Fitness Study Prep (FSP lets you select your certifying body) app have study modules. Just don't want until you have forgotten a lot of the information you've learned with your Kin degree. It's much easier to understand the information when you're fresh out of school.
