"Personal Trainer Career Comparison"

Personal Trainer Career Comparison: Health Club vs Studio

Personal Trainer Career Comparison: Choosing where to work as you begin your fitness journey can be a stressful decision. It is nearly impossible to predict where you will be 3 months down the road.

IMPORTANT: You can and should still use your Personal Trainer Business Plan to ensure your success.

To help make this decision less daunting, we have provided a chart (see below) comparing the offerings of each setting.

In addition to the information provided in our comparison, we have found the following questions useful in finalizing your decision.

  • Would I prefer to work in a studio setting with less trainer competition but fewer members or in a Health Club with a greater number of trainers and members?
  • Will an hourly wage or a specific annual salary cover my current living expenses?
  • Do I want to be a Personal Trainer / Manager / or Business Owner within the next 5 years?
