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

    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.
    So 24 hours a week (£240) at work and 17 hours a week (£340) personal training. That is just 30k gross, but for those figures to work you would have to have at least 6 clients that wanted 3 hours of training every single week of the year, how likely is that?

    You would also be reliant on them all wanting training at different times within the 4 days a week you are available. Take any holiday or start deducting self-employed expenses and tax and you are well below 30k.

    OP if you are so interested why not just google it?

    My guess is closer to 20k would be more realistic just for self employed personal training........... now if you have other skills and qualifications and can diversify your business into selling nutritional plans & products, sports massage and other holistic therapies then perhaps you could start to earn a nice salary.

    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 !!

    Hi, Retr0; feel up to continuing?

    Emotionally and intellectually, I should crucify you. Sadly, I have a funeral to attend.
    I shot a vein in my neck and coughed up a Quaalude.

    Hi guys

    So i thought the same.

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

    The ones I know earn nothing like that much.

    They might be trying to find out if it's worth getting to know someone who does the job a bit better.
