You may enjoy a deep personal sense of satisfaction from your career as a personal trainer, but unfortunately that contentment does not always extend to your pocketbook. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average salary of a personal trailer is only about $31,000 per year! What can you do if you want to raise that number a little higher? |
1. Go back to school
Not only will this type of extra education help you refine your technique as a fitness or group exercise instructor, but it can also allow you to scope out the competition and get an idea of their rates and marketing strategies in the current economy. You might well stumble upon an idea that benefits you in the long run even more than the actual classes themselves.
2. Raise your prices
3. Become a specialist
4. Offer more services
5. Teach
Keep in mind that these five strategies are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to increasing your earnings as a personal trainer. Whether you decide to adopt only a single one of these strategies or to combine several at once, or even to try something completely different from any of them, the only limits are your own imagination and drive!
