Personal Training CostHow much does it take to get started?If you are looking for personal training cost and pricing information, check out our directory of qualified personal trainers. This page is about the start up costs that are involved in becoming a personal trainer and launching a personal training business. Its important to understand and budget for these startup costs. We discuss budgeting in detail in Step 5 our guide. The Cost of CertificationYour first large personal training cost will be getting certified. You will struggle to find work as a personal trainer if you are not certified so this is a must-have item on your budget. While certification costs can vary from $49 to $5000. Most of the mainstream programs that we discuss in Step 2 of our guide will cost between $500-$1000 when you budget for the cost of materials and taking the exam. If you are looking to work in a gym, this is the main personal training cost, however if you want to start your own personal training business, there are many more costs to consider.
Business Startup CostsStarting your own personal training business will require significant startup capital (that's fancy talk for you need some money). The largest personal training cost will be associated with your facilities. If you are opening your own training center, you need to budget for expenses like, rent, deposits, equipment, cleaning and utilities. If you are able to train clients outdoors, at their homes, or at a gym, you may only need to budget for minimal equipment and gym memberships. And there are expenses like computers, software and clothing in both cases. Below is our personal training cost list. It is an excerpt from our Cash Flow Projections spreadsheet which is part of our free Personal Trainer Starter Kit.
