Group Instructor

$18,000 (BASE SALARY) – UNCAPPED POTENTIAL

Supervising and leading participants through a series of movements and fitness activities, Fitness Instructors are the key motivator in exercise class delivery, typically in a gym or studio. You can teach classes while working your current job, studying and juggling your other life commitments. How good!

Even doing 3 classes a week at $30 per class puts an extra $90 in your pocket.

Personal Trainer

$18,000 (BASE SALARY) – UNCAPPED POTENTIAL

The beauty of becoming a personal trainer is you will usually be self-employed, meaning you determine your level of income. It is up to you whether you work part-time or full time, but it is important to build a client base to ensure a long career as a personal trainer. As a general rule of thumb, we teach our students to value their time on a $ per minute basis building their cost as their client base rises.

Example
30 minute session is $49 and you have 7 clients per week = $343 (for 2.5 hours work)
