Your First Personal Training Job- Starting off Right
by: Candace Harrison

Your first job as a personal trainer should be just that, a personal trainer. Have you ever heard of a doctor's first job as cleaning lab rooms. Probably Not.

If you are looking for your first personal training job with no experience, you could start with an established gym that offers training packages to their clients. More than likely you will work off commission plus get an hourly pay. This will give you the experience you need in selling training sessions, working in a gym, and dealing with clients. Also, seek out a personal trainer that is seasoned to talk to, they make great mentors.

There's really no such thing as an easy client. Each one is just different and have different needs. Your training should always be the best you have to give to each one.

If you are working for a place that has you cleaning, doing dishes,seeing only 1 client and making minimum wage. I would suggest you keep looking for the right job. That's not personal training and it will get you know where fast in the fitness industry. You'll find yourself discouraged about your new found venture.

Once you learn the ropes, there's a lot of money that can be made in fitness. So getting off to the right start is very important!
