Let me know what others thought of the product. Jim

Yes it is possible. You will need to first find a gym that allows outside trainers. Many will require insurance, and take out either a per session fee, or charge you a monthly rate. Remember, not working as an hourly employee, you have the ability to make up your own schedule so it won't...

You are not going to get that much just starting out in a chain health club. Most places make you start out as a program director for $10 -$15 an hour. After a few months you can make better money as a trainer, but generally less than 1/2 of the training session in which the club charges. Put...

Jessie, I would highly recommend any one of these. These are all accredited. ACSM, NASM, NSCA, NCSF, NFPT, ACE, CI, SCIRION... Also consider ISSA (I don't think they are accredited, but they are good.) Look at each of these, and find out which is best for you. I hope this helps! Regards...

I would definitely pay a measly $25 bucks for a qualified lead. After all, it is 1/2 of what I just paid to fill my car up with gas. Trainers needs to think of the $25 as a marketing cost, and think of the lifetime value of the prospect. Just one of those leads could end up making your $20,000...

Hello Fellow Trainers, I just finished a 13 page special report you will most definitely benefit from. It is titled "Personal Training Cash Killers." I reveal some very important information that trainers need to know in 2007 and beyond to survive in the industry. Do you know the personal...

Beware of these quick fly by night certification agencies. Your friend will not get much value for even his $49. I strongly encourage him to do it right, and get certified by an accredited agency. He is going to get so much more out of it. Even though you think he knows his anatomy and...

I strongly urge you to start studying every thing you can about personal training. Thus, when you get the money for a certification, you are ready to go. I only recommend accredited certifications only. As far as your questions above, it all depends on the clients goals and medical history...

I like your ideas, Project! However, it might be wise to back up a bit. First off, instead of planning the gym, you should be doing extensive market research. I can't really answer your question about how much to charge because I don't know what area you live in, or the demographics of the area...

Each week I get ready to release it, but keep thinking of more great stuff to add. I'm not sure of the exact day because I am waiting for some stuff from others that are helping me with the project. However, it looks like within 30 days. I, too, am getting excited! I can't wait to share this...

This looks like a pretty good program, but make sure they get into specifics regarding running a personal training business. Anatomy and physiology is great, but the main ingredient is sales and marketing. I like their business model of offering the course in different cities. The price is...

Don, It all depend on what part of the country you are from. Generally, if you are an employee of a club, expect them to pay you 50% or less of the training session. Most clubs in California charge 50 - 75 per session. You would get roughly half. The longer you work for the club, the more money...

Hi Fellow Trainers, I was wondering if you guys could help me? Here is the deal. I am 90% completed on a killer new personal training wealth building product. However, I want to be absolutely certain I have covered everything possible in this product. Therefore, if you would be so kind to help...

Here is my 2 cents on this topic. I have been an extremely successful Professional Fitness Trainer in Los Angeles for the past 16 years. Therefore, allow me to share with you what I did. First off, if you want to work with asymptomatic populations, get a degree in Exercise...
