And they pressure PT’s to make sales and they don’t explain anything. I went because I was told LA Fitness had Silver Sneakers and was free. I am elderly, on a fixed income, and have had multiple surgeries on both knees, one arm, and an ankle fusion. I see PTs are under tremendous pressure for sales and if they have to mislead or lie to get someone to sign, that’s what they do. Please correct me if I am wrong. LAF Corporate put all the blame on the PT who I spoke to on one occasion. I see many lawsuits have been filed but they return to their previous way of doing business.
@@kathywilliams1694these box gyms are just training wheels until you can go off and do your own thing or work higher up. These aren’t meant to be high pay
I'm a part time personal trainer at a very busy LA Fitness. Literally no one runs the place. It's a complete free for all. I make an average of $18/half hour session, all said and done. The clients are pretty cool for the most part. The sales tactics are really dishonest and clients are always fighting bad charges. It's a slimy atmosphere.
I had a membership to la fitness in San Diego for a couple years, incredible employee turnover, every 3 months they would hire 10 -15 new sales and training staff, they would start off all confident wander the floor introducing themselves just annoying, you’re trying to stay focused on your workout and a wanna be trainer would walk up and wants to give you his ten minute sales pitch just annoying as hell, they start to get the starving salesman eyes, can’t even make eye contact with them or else they’re all over you and force you to be rude “not interested go away” around two months almost all of them would disappear, sure enough within 3 months they hire another 10-15 trainers and the cycle would continue, so whatever they’re doing to their staff it’s not working.
What can a person do to get their money back. They engage in fraudulent practices and my friend is elderly and FL has ElderLaws that are supposedly very clear. Any advice? LAF Corp said they don’t have anything to do with it. I need to deal with the PT. SCAM !
Im starting my steps on becoming a personal trainer. I need to know if it’ll be support me financially I’m still so worried looking at your explanation. I’m 21 years old what is the best route to go. I also need experience but also I’m low with money idk if it’s good to have personal training in the morning and stick to my full job as well. Because I need to pay off the ISSA course. And bills hit hard. Do I complete my certification and go to create my online fitness business ? I’m also looking into working at my local LAFitness
Honestly, I would complete your certification, work mornings as a trainer at a franchise gym to gain experience and clients, while also keeping your current job. Then as your experience and client list grows you can think about branching off and starting your own business
Bro I’m basically is your shoes, 21 years old enrolled in NASM, and I need to know that I’ll be financially stable with choosing my career. You and I should chat a little bit. Do you have a way I can contact you?
So you cap at at below minimum wage thar you could get from being a ckerk or a stocker at a grocery store for instance. Thar is horrible. and absolutely discouraging me to cinsider oaying well over $500 for one of the certication programs
You have all the equipment available, progress tracker app set for you , you have clients found for you, you have a housekeeper who cleans your work place, a greeter at the front desk, you have a space free of rent and, probably, you have unlimited visits to exercise yourself with a guest privilege. And free shower/sauna/bathrooms/locker rooms that require heat/water/sewage/cleaning expenses as well. I think you might end up having less money if you would have to pay and take care of all that on your own. I can be wrong.
@@davidsantacruz1233 not exactly true. you have to find the clients and that involves lots of time. Cold calling, advertisements, driving and you have to be REALY good at what you do in order to get hired by those who can afford you. While the LA fitness takes all that hassle on their own and you just need to be a trainer (no need to be the best one). No driving to multiple locations, just show up at la fitness, they will provide you with the clients.
From what I’ve seen in a typical trainer’s educational requirements to be certified, and from my interaction with them, they are overpaid for the most part. Not all as some are good and understand things like joint safety and protection. …The trainer at the Planet Fitness near me for example (in S.E. Michigan) didn’t understand external shoulder rotation.
There not doctor personal trainer job is to educate you how to and best way to lose weight ot build muscle not knowing joints most clients not going to know all the joints
@@RyanHutton1 new trainers only make $6 a session + base rate (7.25/hr). So 1 session is about 9.62 until you become a master trainer. Then there’s the drama of becoming a master trainer nowadays.

Thanks for the info!
I Appreciate the video
I see LA Fitness is still paying the same rate they were back in 2011 lmfao i appreciate your honesty bro. Any clue what master trainers get payed?

Or become an at home personal trainer, charge extra for the convenience and never worry about any of the points you mentioned.

PTs at LAF in Fl are making $36/hr now is what they’ve told me
this guy is massive
Don’t be jealous
Now PT at LAF is $99 activation fee, $260/1 a week $480/ month for 2x a week & $660/ month for 3x wekk
I pay 480 month 2x a week. I just realized now it’s just 25 min per session, and it’s not worth for me.
@@nathalialimapinheiro1734 what are going to get accomplished in a half hour ?
LA❤❤
Years ago I looked at the prospect of becoming a personal trainer. As much as I loved fitness this is why I decided it wasn't worth it.
I was a PTD made nothing
Did you get promoted to Master Trainer after 90 days?
No we already had 1 master trainer when I got hired and there wasn’t enough demand for a 2nd one.
Do you get the $6 per session on top of minimum wage? Or is ur pay fully based on the $6 per session?
Fully based on $6 per session
@@RyanHutton1 where do you live that that's not way below minimum wage. $12h/r? damn.
