If you’re a personal trainer, don’t work for the gym, or should you…

Becoming the Ultimate Fitness Coach with the Jock and the Doc

Welcome to this episode "If you're a personal trainer, don't work for the gym, or should you…", from the podcast "Becoming the Ultimate Coach with the Jock and the Doc" for every personal trainer, fitness enthusiast, and everyone navigating the labyrinth of personal training career options. Hosted by industry veterans, Scott and Dr. Janine Stichter, this is where you'll find expert personal training tips, inside knowledge on what to expect from a personal training session, and valuable advice on personal training business plans.
Scott and Dr. J. draw from their 30 years of experience, filled with blood, sweat, and tears, to offer you their insight on how to decide if being a gym owner, independent contractor or employee is the best route for you. Whether you're contemplating a career in personal training, seeking to elevate your existing fitness profession, or trying to decode the best personal training certification for you, this podcast will guide you.
As an employee, you'll find yourself immersed in the benefits of job security, comprehensive training, paid time off, and possibly, an alluring package of other benefits. However, you'll also have to deal with the constraints of limited control, a ceiling on your title and pay, and less autonomy.
Becoming an independent contractor opens up the advantages of flexibility, choosing your pay, tax benefits, and a high degree of autonomy. But it's not without challenges. Expect no benefits, less security, more responsibilities, and being limited to your own time.
For the brave hearts aspiring to be gym owners, complete control, profit potential, and owning something to sell might sound exciting. Nevertheless, the financial risk, time commitment, heightened responsibility, and stress also accompany the rewards.
In making the decision that shapes your personal training career, consider what truly makes you happy. Hours, pay, work, control, atmosphere, environment – all of these factors are critical. As an employee or an independent contractor, your experience depends significantly on who you work for. It could be amazing; it could be horrible.
As Janine emphasizes, understanding the seasons of your life and the nuances of your personality is key to choosing the right path in your personal training career. This podcast seeks to help you navigate these waters, providing comprehensive insight and expert guidance into the world of personal training.
So, tune in to "If you're a personal trainer don't work for the gym, or should you…" and start shaping your personal training career with the expert advice from two industry leaders who've been where you are, and have amassed a wealth of knowledge and experiences to share.
