Frequently Asked Questions
What rate do I need to earn a full-time living training?
Target income ÷ realistic session volume. Sustainable full-time load is 25–30 sessions weekly; $75k gross on 25 sessions × 48 weeks needs $62+ per session — before self-employment taxes.
How many training sessions per week is sustainable?
Most career trainers cap at 25–35 sessions; beyond that, quality and retention decay. Your rate must fund your income at a sustainable volume, or the schedule burns you out of the industry.
What costs do independent trainers forget?
Gym rental fees ($200–600/month or per-session cuts), insurance (~$200–400/year), certifications/CEUs, software, and 25–30% for self-employment taxes. They add $5–15 per session to your true cost.
