In order to be successful in the fitness business personal trainer training is mandatory. If your knowlege isn’t growing, it is declining. Rarely does it stay the same.

Now I am not just referring to the study of exercise physiology, but business, sales, and marketing. What personal trainer training consists of is the necessary education to effectively coach clients toward fitness success. But it doesn’t stop there. Learning how to run a successful personal training business is key.

Among the type of personal trainer training includes personal training courses, workshops, and even home study courses. The bottom line is the fitness professional is focusing on the importance of continuing education.

In todays ultra competitive fitness training market it is important to be qualifed. When I mean qualified I am referring to both anatomy, physiology, and business knowledge. When it comes to business personal trainer training most fitness professional seem to drop the ball. I encourage all personal trainers to continue educating themselves on business, sales, and marketing. After all, this is the knowledge that is going to fill your wallet up.

What should a personal fitness trainer charge? What type of personal trainer salary should he or she expect? My answer is it all depends on the clients perceived value of the service. If the client thinks you are delivering more than $100 an hour in service, you can charge $100 per hour or more. If the client doesn’t feel you offer $100 in value, they are not going to like your personal training rate very much.

The moral of the story is to increase perceived value of your personal training service; and you will be able to charge much more. In my opinion, a personal fitness trainers salary should be justified by the degree of education, personal training certification, experience, their specific specialty, and how much perceived value they can pass onto the client.

If you are a personal fitness trainer who focuses on over delivering value to your clients, you should never be shy about having higher than average rates. A trainer who has a very high perceived value by clients is well on the way to having a personal trainer salary of over $100,000 each year.
