Personal Trainer splits as an independent contract.
by David Sozua
(Jackson, CA)
I am a personal trainer in a small town roughly 2,000 people. I might have 1,200- 1,400 members in our facility. With a poor demographic and a older clientele of ages 65 and up that make up 19% of our community.
I am currently on a 35%-65% percent split with members who already exist at the gym prior to me starting my business and 25%-75% split for members i get in. OF course i get the bigger percentage of the two but could i possibly decrease that even more. Say to 20%?
What would be some ideal split based on the demographic as well as members.

Independent Trainer Salaries
by Jack
(Fresno, CA)
I have been an independent trainer for over a year and a half now and I enjoy it a lot. I started out as an in house trainer for a corporation and lasted for two years. I gained a lot of knowledge over those two years that benefit me now as an independent.
The biggest upside to being an independent is being your own boss. I make my own prices, schedule and never have to make a monthly quota. I set my prices at what I feel I am worth and because of the undercutting I found a price that was still higher than others but at the same time reasonable to explain why I was twenty dollars more than the next highest trainer. It's really important to believe in what you are putting out on the floor and stick to your pricing. I am a full time independent and wouldn't change my career for anything.
