Personal Training Jobs

One of the biggest questions I get from new personal trainers is where do you find the personal training jobs listings. Well, in short, wherever they need you the most! Okay, okay, I know that's not what you are looking at, but it really is true, so remember this:

The best personal fitness trainer jobs are where needed YOU the most.

To be more unique, do you think the Ritz, the W and alternative luxury hotels have trouble locating trainers? Sometimes yes, sometimes no - I'll get involved to that in a 2nd.

What about the gym in a whole new, far out suburb?

Bingo! The gym in the new suburb probably has more trouble finding ANY instructor or ANY fitness expert. If you are new to your personal instruction business, it may help you to find a new suburb that includes a new gym. The new gym shall be glad to see you also, you can dominate that bit of local market at least for a while (getting ALL the clients you can possibly handle at the retail price you set)! It makes your job of marketing Less difficult.

Chain gyms have established pay rates for fitness professionals but hometown gyms is often more flexible and may cut you in on the action if you aid them grow.... This can be pretty lucrative.

Now, what was I saying regarding the Ritz? Clubs at exclusive hotels sound like very attractive to fitness instructors. These kinds of club sets usually pay above common, the facilities are typically gorgeous, the equipment is ordinarily new, the clients can be celebrities as well as other wealthy people... but guess what, these wealthy people RARELY tip and rarely have any consideration in your case. You see, the problem is, the clients who are going to workout at the Ritz may consider you, the personal trainer, a servant.

That may be cool along with you, but sometimes health and fitness jobs it truly sucks. If a client even thinks she has a problem with anyone, BAM, you are fired. You correct her variety; she gets upset; BAM you're fired! You congratulate her with getting engaged; she accuses you of interested in steal her jewelry; BAM you're fired! Your client makes inappropriate suggestions for after hrs activities; you politely decline her offer; BAM, you're fired!

Even if you have the best record, best clientele, best demeanor, unfortunately, places like the Ritz must bend to the whim of these clients, no matter how crazy a client could possibly be. It is not fair. Too bad.

The other issue will not typically come up is definitely, the higher-end clubs have got fewer members. You may not have the ability to fill your schedule the way you like. If you are only working to be a personal trainer part time frame, that may be fantastic, but if you making the effort to make a career outside of personal training, you need to fill your hours.
