You don't need a union. Organizing and unifying to combat things like this are fine, but don't go down the socialist road. Next thing you know, the union will only serve to help itself and not you. Then you will be paying fees to 2 organizations instead of one. Forget that, but ally with your colleagues. I'm in the US so it may be a little different, but I'd look for smaller gyms or small studios. You can be a straight employee or a contractor or open a studio yourself. If you don't like the big gyms attitude, there's nothing to stop you from opening yourself. This is a great site for those resources to do so. The market is there and it will probably support you. Don't think that you can't compete either. So much of this is relationship based between you and your clients. I'd venture to guess that if the big gyms are treating the trainers poorly, they probably are not treating the members very well either. You can CAPITALIZE on that. Obtain them, treat them well, effectively train them, nurture them, be their friend, and they will love you and pay you for a long time.
