Personal Trainer Salary Ontario Canada

I have been a personal trainer for 7 years and run my own business in Ontario. I make around $55K per year. There are many keys to my business' ongoing success. One factor (and one benefit of working for myself in my own home based studio) is that I get to choose who I want to work with.

My ideal client base continues to grow, and in the meantime I am willing to work with many others - allowing me to gain experience and insight, and allowing me to help as many folks as I can. It is the push towards my 'ideal client' however, that drives my business forward, and allows me to charge what I do (on average $90.00/session). If folks want to work with me, I have found that they will come up with the resources - time, energy and money - to do so.

You can charge these fees because you are worth it
by: Katie - Admin

Many new trainers expect to charge $90 per hour from day one. But you have to make sure you are worth the money as a personal trainer. That means continual growth and developing your skills. When you are worth it, your clients won't think twice about paying top dollar. In fact, they will think you are a bargain at any price.

How many sessions can you book in a week?
by: -

I myself would one day like to become a personal trainer. Opening a business would be a huge bonus to my career. But how many sessions can you really book at $90. It doesn't seem like you can make enough money if you can't keep a full schedule.

Good Morning!!
My name is Kristin and I live in a small town Strathroy, Ontario. I have always enjoyed fitness, sports and the body! I am a stay at home mom right now and I am enjoying this but I have my heart set on becomming a personal trainer once the children are in school, It will be my turn....I would like to know if you have heard of Can-Fit-Pro? And if this is the road I should take to fullfill my dream?And once I am certified how do I take myself to the top, and reach for the stars as they say to create such an amazing lifestyle and dream?
Please give me any information you feel fit to help me reach my goals.
Thank you for your time

55k at 90/sess???
by: Josh

I am curious about your salary or payout. I am looking to start a new gym myself, a studio gym but with some twists. How is it that you charge 90/sess and only make 55k a year? That would mean you are only training 12 hours a week? I am just trying to figure out what my best options are in the industry, figured id ask around. No offense boss, just askin. Thanks for any help.
