Using the YMCA and/or Gyms when you are independent

I recently got certified by ACSM as a personal trainer. I would like to start my own business. I am a member of the YMCA. If my client is a member, can I train her there? If I get a client that is a member of another gym, can I train there? Do I have to pay a fee?

I have an exercise room in my house but I imagine some clients will belong to gyms and want me to go there. Help!

For the most part if a gym has its own trainers then it will not allow outside trainers to come in and train. Plus you would have to have a membership. That has been my experience anyway. I just train out of my home gym and it's working out well for me. That way I am 100% knowledgeable of all the equipment and I don't have to drive around which means I can schedule more sessions. I do offer sessions in the clients home but no one has wanted that yet.
