So it has been a week of crazy
Maybe two?
It feels like months....
two sick kids, great hammie hurt, and UHG, dirty house.
I always laugh at people (youngun's) who are in the dream world of all the money they will make training folks.
Of course people think all trainers are like celebrity trainers.
no body fat
always happy
eat only the healthy choice
mean
lean
always active
None of this is true.
let's say you are making 200 a client/hr that is about 1.5 of work.... which is STILL AMAZING MONEY.
but
most are not making 200 a client... and pt is as much about your sales pitch as your ability to train.
I would say it is your ability to sell that supersedes your ability to train. I am not a good sales person. I like to talk, but I do not like to sell. I am always broke, always have been, so I totally get why YOU can't or don't want to spend your money....
so anyway......getting to get even the wealthy to drop 200/hr on you is pretty hard....
I do not know how you become a celebrity trainer, but I do know that I do not have a house like Cameron Diaz in What to expect when your expecting movie......
or a boyfriend
or a pool
but I DO have
body fat, a grumpy bumpy attitude, eat yummy food (mmmm chocolate) and again, netflix (right now I am obsessing over revenge)
But I do work in a great gym with happy active busy people.... all downing shakes in between clients.... I think they (like me) only drink that stuff because you gotta eat and it is fast. But they (unlike me) run marathons, compete in shows (flex your pecks) bike and tri's.... and then there is me, thinking maybe I will do a 5K..but then again, maybe not..
So anyway.... being a trainer is just like any other job, if you love it and are good at it, you can make a living doing it. If you are in love with money.... this gig ain't for you.
As a trainer, you will work full time and if you ever venture out into the world of private trainer, you will work more than full time, but, like I said, if you love it, then you will LOVE it!
Later Gaters
