The most disappointing thing for me were unhealthy women who sometimes couldn't stick to schedule because of family, job, other necessities, who could have really improved if they would have stuck with it. That may be a reflection of me, but I'd like t

Nope, that's part of the deal. If they were inanimate, moldable pieces of clay, I'd still be as passionate as day 1. But the hardest part of my job is patting people on the arse & telling them the same shite over & over again. The program design & training are a piece of cake. When I do get somebody that is in it for the right reasons, I'm dialed in like a mofo. That's about 1 in 10

Id rather have 1 person who's paying $700-$800/mth for me to completely tailor something around them, needs & wants

That's the norm for somebody training 3x week just about anywhere . $50-$60/hr. There's about 13 mon/wed/fri in a given month. @$55, that's $715

Are drugs involved or is that a don't ask don't tell kind of aspect?

I didn't make anywhere near that per client maybe 200-300/month, 25/hr and maybe 4-5 clients a month. Maybe those who are well established make that much, certainly not a college student

Semi-private is where it's at. You find 30 people willing to pay $30/hr, 1/2 2xweek, 1/2 3xweek... 200k+

Why can't they pay a person who knows their shite one time to write their program then do the workouts on their own. Seems stupid to pay someone to babysit you 3 times a week. No offense.....but if drugs Areally in the equation all bets are off and I completely understand.

You make the call.

Cause what I do is a lot more involved than that. It's more than just "I wanna gain, I wanna lose". My lil sister can help anyone do that. It's more about fixing dysfunction. Think older, out of shape people with lots of money. Not some 17 year old that wants to add 30lbs to his bench. That ain't rocket science

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.
