Do I need to rent a facility? Which workouts do you find best to start clients out with? Which ones are proven to get lasting results? Do you just sit them down and go over what they're desiring to achieve and the steps they have to take to physically and mentally accomplish them? Completely New to PT.

I wouldn't suggest that. Find a gym in an upscale area that lets u rent space or pay as little as possible. Sometimes nice neighborhoods have their own gym that they let clients bring their own trainers in. If the neighborhood is big enough, you can make a living just working there. Problem with this is you have no experience & no training knowledge. Without that, you better look like Mario Lopez & be able to sell I've to an Eskimo.

There's no such thing as "workouts". Everything is designed based on what I find in a movement eval before we start. But to kinda answer the question, for those who are ready to get rocked, it's a type of HIIT. But it changes. Everything revolves around a 12 week cycle

100k is damn good money for a single guy (or girl) in their 20s doing personal training.

Around here, I don't see that though. People sign up for X number of personal training sessions through the gym for X amount of money that's paid to the gym. The more you buy, the cheaper the rate per session.

Given the going rates and after the gym gets its cut of the money, I don't see a busy trainer coming anywhere close to 100k. Just my observation., around here. Very possible in a bigger city.

Oh no, you can't do that as the trainer in a big box gym. They pay peanuts. The trainer might bring in 100k in rev, but he'll make 40k or so. You gotta be on your own to make any real money. But you gotta learn the ropes somewhere
