Being A Personal Trainer Must Be The GOAT Job

[The Coochie Assassin]

idk about that. a few of the homies are personal trainers and they don't make much because keeping clients is hard. now they work at 24 hours fitness so maybe that's why but it just seems like a struggle unless you're at a private gym in a middle to upper class neighborhood where ppl are willing to pay for one.

Your client pool is definitely key. There's a reason you don't see any BMW dealerships in low income areas. You gotta be a salesman too tho. Selling is 90% of the battle.

Whats the process of becoming one? I work out alot but i feel like I needa get to atleast 10-12% bodyfat im at 15 rn. Quit drinking still smokin gas but i was in the military so I know some training programs to get people started.

This shyt has inspired me as well

Man I've been wanting to get a cert since 2010 when I first started lifting. You want to get one of the big 3-4 PT certs.

• ACE
• NASM
• ACSM
• NSCA

If you have a particular gym you want to work for, make sure they take the cert you want to get.

You're right about starting off at a gym, building your client list/experience then branching off and doing your own thing. That's where the real money and freedom is at.

Man, I just followed the story on BmoreGorilla. He made this post in January 2015...

1. My dads a great man

2. Real personal trainers don't get in sexual positions and shyt like that. The only nikkas who would get jealous about their woman working with a trainer need to check their manhood at the door. If they that insecure they need to step up their game

Some personal trainers do well in upper class gyms/neighborhoods.

Its a fun job. But I'm going to be real with yall most don't even break 40k some don't even break 30k. If your a run of the mill personal trainer at a typical LA fitness your not going to make that much money. Apply to a luxury high end gym like lifetime fitness or gyms labeled as "health clubs". You'll make substantially more money there.

Yall are forgetting if you work at a commercial gym they get their cut too. I've heard as bad as personal trainers making 10 dollars an hour if they calculate how much their check would be if they worked for an hourly wage.

If my girl say she hiring a male personal trainer, just gonna go on and end it.

I know what that shyt secretly mean

I do PT on the side and you have to be really motivated to do it. A lot of people lazy unmotivated and undisciplined will blame you for their lack of success poor results.

Temperament is important as well you gotta be a real people person which I am not so I only got a few dedicated folks.

Like anything nikkas thats built for it can eat most going to have mediocre to below average success with it tho.

If you in it to get women don't shyt where you eat it'll fukk up your money if you sloppy with it. But once they see some results and see you brolic and on a regular basis you really don't even have to put it any effort.

Yup. The NASM one isn't that tough to get either, plus they usually do zero down if $$$ is an issue with getting started.

You know you actually might need to workout, right?

I had a checkup when I got injured on the job. I'm very healthy, but I would tone up a little first, so I could get more clientele. However, I want to get my cert (before getting my degree in HS) so I can do this as a side gig.
