I would say yes and no. A personal trainer is a luxury for most people because it's kind of expensive, so you're going to have to find the clientele that is willing to pay. I think if you offered cheaper group sessions, you would get more people that wouldn't mind consistently paying for your services. If you offer market rates, then your business may be inconsistent. If you do get it, try to target groups of runners or look at when the races are scheduled in your city (5ks, 10ks, marathons, etc) and do a race training boot camp of some kind.

The ones that have a passion for it make the most...u got ppl in every industry looking to scam ppl for money that mess it up for the real artist

This is problem... Y'all gotta stop seeing this stuff as a "hustle" and more as a legit business. Because u can get real money by really building something great
Man, I don't wanna career outta this.

Seems like a good side hustle but literally everyone in ATL is a trainer, and I dont have patience for people who are lazy or dumb that I may potentially encounter.

To build clientele, get a instagram page thats dedicated to personal training. You get a handful of clients and train at a park for $5 each for an hour.

When you do the training you have someone take pictures of the training session on the side. Those pictures you put up on your instagram page and hashtage #RichmondTrainers #Igtrainers and shyt like that.

You have to keep posting and even when people stop coming you have about 3 more in line thats new and ready to train.

Eventually, you'll build up a following on IG and start offering group sessions, like 3 times a week for $15 person the first month. Work the shyt out of them and they'll see/feel results and want to come back because they have someone to help keep them accountable when they aren't able to.

Pretty soon you'll have a good following and could justify charging $30 an hour.

Yeah, but I got a little flab. Other than that I'm in shape. I don't have a pot belly or anything.

Get on roids breh to get shredded

I know people think it's a :whoa: terrible idea and it's definitely not for everyone, but if you do 2, 8 week cycles you'll be shredded and have the "look" of a trainer. A cat I played football with got on roids right after ball...monitored his emotions so he understood the psychological affects it had on him, shredded a bunch of weight and added a ton of muscle and now he runs those fitness camps making good money.

It's all about where you live, my dude works with the wall street white boy "bro" clients, he's a former D1 athlete and they pay him $100+ an hour. At any given time he has about 20-30 steady weekly clients.
:banderas:

P.S. I'll be lucky to get half of that :francis:
