How much does a part-time Personal Trainer at a gym + £35 ph normal make salary wise?

How much personal trainer at a gym + doing some freelance personal training for clients typically make in a year?

Let's say they work part-time at a gym and also charge £35 per hour for individual clients training.

That would vary greatly between people.

How many hours they do part time and at what wage and how many hours they then do freelancing.

They work part-time for 3 days but they also do personal training with clients during this period while looking after a medium-size gym.

They might see 5 clients in a day.

How many hours a day? How much per hour for the part time job?

If they see 5 clients a day for an hour each at £35 an hour it would be £35x5. So £175 a day.

If you know how much they're getting and how many hours you can easily do the maths yourself. If you don't know then no one here can give an answer anyway.

I've paid many a personal trainer. Never paid £35/hr though. That might be the headline rate but usually I book a course of 10 for around £20-25/hr.

And they certainly don't seem to have a consistent 5 clients a day in the gyms round here, most of them are fighting for clients and do other things to top up their money like running school clubs or working in a bar in the evening. Might be different in London or elsewhere of course.

I have had PT's in the past. The rough rate is £25 an hour or £200 for a block of 10 sessions. It depends where you are in the country (obviously London PT's will charge more) but that is the average on the south coast here.

Most of them would do classes etc.... To top up income. And majority of clients are before and after work times so just stay at home parents in the daytime etc....

I suspect like many self-employed jobs the earnings are not as good as it first appears.

£35 an hour sounds great (does anyone actually pay that much?!) but it is going to be virtually impossible to work 8 hours a day like you can in a regular job. You have to deduct business expenses like advertising, travel costs, gym or room hire and then factor in tax, lack of sick pay and so on. Oh and of course you will only be working when clients have free time, which will mostly be weekends and evenings.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if many of them have part-time jobs on the side and do the PT work as cash in hand.

Hi guys

So i thought the same.

Do you reckon most of them earn around £30k a year roughly?

including their day job money? shouldn't be too hard.

say their gym job is £10ph, 8 hours a day for 3 days, that's close to 13k a year, leaving 17k, that 17k is roughly 10 hours a week of personal training at £35 an hour, if the rate drops to £20 an hour its about 17 hours a week or say 3 hours of private training a day.

What we (who mostly don't work in the industry or know the market in the area they work in ) think it might be would be pure guesstimate.

Why are you so keen to know ?

Have you tried asking on a forum focused towards personal trainers ?

Or you could even try asking someone you know who does the job !!

I'd like to know this too. Might make it easier to give an idea of a figure rather than the possibility of it being anywhere from really low to really high.

I'm sure there's many personal trainers who do earn that. I don't think you could say most though as hours and wages/prices vary so much.

Do you have the possibility to earn that if that's what you want to do? Yeah, if you have the clients, put the hours in and charge the price you've stated.
