Personal Trainer Income

By Dave Lashier


Most people are hoping to find the perfect balance between career and interest. There are also jobs in which you can serve the needs of others and these jobs tend to be in demand. It is not easy to find a job that has both factors in play in building a career. However, the profession of personal training provides both the capacity to serve and to enjoy to candidates who qualify.

Personal training provides a number of benefits for both the trainer as well as the various clients they deal with. However, many people looking to break into the industry are curious about what the salary ranges are for personal trainers; as many assume that such an enjoyable job might not net adequate income to live on. Below are the national averages of both personal trainers just breaking into the industry as well as personal trainers who have already been working for 5 years or more.


New trainers who have just broken into the scene of personal training can expect to receive $9-$15 per hour as a starting salary. Of course, other factors determine how much a trainer will receive as salary. One important factor is the kind of certifications and education a trainer has achieved. Another one would be the type of facility one chooses to work in. Relaxed and generalized facilities like community gyms tend to pay less than those that have privileged clients looking for more private and demanding personal training sessions.


More experienced trainers in the industry have a broader range of salary and fees to consider when looking to work. They also have a wider range of employment or workplace settings. New personal trainers usually look for employment in facilities that have a general clientele, like the weight-loss group, and tend to stay there for a certain number of years. The more experienced trainers gravitate toward more pricey facilities that cater to rich clients.

Personal Trainers with 5 or more years' experience can expect to make anything from $16 all the way up to $40 an hour. Established trainers can also to take on private clientele which tends to pay higher than working for a health club or community gym.
