What is the rate for Independent Personal Trainers working at gyms?
Negotiate with the gym. Smaller independent gyms are generally more negotiable. They know that you will be bringing them new business. You can offer to give them 30% of what you charge the client per session for your services. Or, they can put you on the payroll as an independent in which case they can provide you with 60% of what they charge the client per session for services. In either case, you should not be charged to use the club facilities. In both cases you will need liability insurance. If your needs require, you may work out a flat monthly charge with the gym to bring in and train your clients.
