Follow the Money

The next lesson is to go where the money is at. Check every Fitness Centers and studio in your area, find the one where you will bring home the highest rates per class and start teaching there. Take note on this one. If you live further away from a particular gym, it may not be worth the transport money and time.

Or you may lose out teaching 2 classes located near each other if you prefer to teach the further one. Do the comparison for yourself to make sure it is worth the commute.

Increase your Hourly Rate

The next best way is to get paid the highest amount for your class rate per hour. Ask for a raise! Be prepared to show the Fitness Director or the CEO exactly why you deserve more money. If you are certain that you add value to their Fitness Center then go for it. Ask yourself these questions before you take this step:

• Have I been a loyal team player of this club for a long enough time to prove that I am committed?

• Do I help arrange for covers in advance and take all necessary steps to get coverage in emergency situations?

• Am I well like by all the employees in the club from the General managers, receptionist to the cleaners and etc?

• Do I go above and beyond the call of duty in matters of customer service?

• Do I perform tasks that help out the club or the members, even if they are not listed in my job duties?

• Do I consistently have high attendance in my classes? (Very Important!)

• Do I have a strong reputation as an excellent instructor? (Very Important!)

• Do students beg for more of me?

• Do I receive any awards like “Best Service or Best Instructor of the month”

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then all you have to do is ASK! Only if you ask, then you have a chance of getting a raise. You will have a very high chance if you regularly exceeded expectations and were a proven asset to the club.

If you have not meet those criteria, don’t be disappointed. Take a few months to improve your performance in any or all of these areas and approach management with your request.

You can really command a great living as an Exercise Fitness Trainer in Group Fitness, If you don’t really find yourself in that prospective, there are 101 ways you can turn the tables in your favor and generate more money for yourself in Exercises Business. There are many ways you can follow so you literally make the most out of teaching. 

We’re going to discuss some very basic approaches here that really come down to how to find the best gyms. Then, we’ll look at some very creative ways to command more money for your time.

Simple Math

Let’s start with basic calculations. You are currently paid $X per hour per class and you teach around 10 classes per week at this XYZ Fitness Club. The easiest thing to do would be to take on more classes and covers as frequently as you can, thus increasing your salary. 

The limits to how much you can make depends on yourself, and the number of classes you can teach in a week depends on how hard you want to work. I work really hard, I use to teach around 38 classes a week. Crazy right? You will be the only person to answer that question.

Maximize your time

First fill up the peak hours of your day, they are the mornings, the afternoons (lunch time) and the evenings. These are mostly office crowds. Then find classes to fill the other timings say in the morning from 830am to 1130am, there are people that can work late, with flexible work timings and housewives.

It will then follow by the afternoon classes which is most of the time you can after finishing the late morning classes you will carry on with the afternoon classes. Then it comes to a time between 2pm to 6pm where it’s a little harder to get classes as not many people are able to or like to attend classes in the late afternoons. It is left with people with either very flexible work timings and the housewives.

Schools offer this kind of off peak hours as students or teachers end their classes during this timings.

In the evenings where classes usually starts at 630pm, 730pm and follow by an 830pm. Which again you will try to fill up this hours. Sometimes if you are lucky, you may be able to get a 5pm class mainly from corporate companies which allows their employees do their exercises workouts during office hours as incentives.

Again it is up to you how many hours of work you want to put in. Some Exercise Fitness Trainers teach only in the mornings and afternoons, some during the 3 peak periods, some the whole day (like me, Crazy!), some only 2 hours a day.

 Read on on How to Make Money as an Exercise Fitness Trainer in Group Fitness Part 2!

One of the great results from becoming a  personal exercise fitness trainer cum group exercise instructor is that your income will develop as you develop. Of course, how much money you generate will be entirely up to you and your skills. Coming out with great workouts program and giving weight lose motivation.

The more skillful you are, the more you can hope to charge your clients, but, only in a legitimate way. Never try to influence your clients to pay for more than you can give them. Teaching body fitness exercise or helping others acheive their goal can provide you with an income that will entirely depend on how much effort you are willing to put into it.

Some Instructors can command as much as $250 per client, although, on average, an Instructor might earn up to $80 per client or per class. Your fee will be based on your experience, knowledge, and popularity as an exercise fitness trainer. When you feel ready to up your fee to $250 per client, you must then prove yourself worthy of such a sum.

Following is an estimate of how much income you can generate in your profession in the fitness industry:

For a minimum rate of $50 (on the low end) per client/class, per hour and 2 client/classes a day. You will earn $100.
Multiply that by 5 (the number of days in a week) and you’ll be looking at an income of $500 per week, or $2,000 per month.
And, that’s just only for two hours a day. So you can see that the potential for earning a substantial income is great.

How about a five-figure monthly income? Not too shabby, is it? Teaching body fitness exercise as an income-generating activity? Why not? Okay, let’s do the Math again. Of course, whatever you earn depends on how much time you’re willing to invest. Suppose we look at a person who, as a body fitness exercise professional, works six days per week, with an average of five clients/classes per day.

*Five classes at $50 per hour              =                  $250.00
  Six days per week                              =                  $1,500.00
  Earnings per month                           =                  $6,000.00

But, see, here we are only figuring a rate of $50, which is the norm for someone just starting out in the club fitness industry. Of course, as you gain experience and knowledge, your hourly rate will increase in a natural way to a range of between $70 and $100.
However, if you are teaching a client/class at the rate of $80 per hour, your income should be:

*Five classes at $80 per hour                =                   $400
  Five days per week                              =                   $2,400
  Potential monthly earnings                  =                   $9,600

The potential to earn a five-figure income is truly great, but, wait! Let’s just say that you add two more clients/classes per week. What sort of income will that generate? You are looking at an income that approximates $2,560 per week, or $10,240 per month!!! 

As I mentioned before, your hourly rate will increase even as you gain experience and as your popularity improves. This means, naturally, that you must put all your effort and diligence to play. The potential for a very comfortable style of living is great, but, it’s up to you to provide the drive and the hard work. TRUST ME – THIS TYPE OF INCOME IS VERY POSSIBLE!!! Make no mistake about that.

With fitness centers opening everywhere in the world, especially Asia, the opportunities abound for a charismatic leader who can provide clients with the best that You can offer.

Check out how to Make $120 Or More In Workouts Exercises Per Class and Exercise Fitness Trainer Salaries.

Do you think it is possible to make $120 per hour for a body fitness exercise class? Definitely, it can be done. My dear friend Dr Venky, he charges up to $150 per hour per workouts exercises. Do you think I must have his kind of qualification to command that kind of money? Actually no, not really. We need to think how you can come out with a marketing strategy, so let’s sit down and put on our thinking cap.

It can be of any kind of workouts exercises, yoga, pilates, kickboxing, hip hop and etc. Come out with a routine for exercise that you are strong at and then market yourself. Like us, we would like to make the greatest amount of money in the shortest amount of time so that you can spend the other waking hours of your day enjoying the other parts of your life that make you happy too.

Ok now you need to ask yourself, “Who or which organization will pay me $120 for an hour of my time?” There may be a gym out there willing to pay you that kind of hourly rate, but you have to be a star Instructor to command that kind of rates. I mean your body fitness exercise classes must be filled to the brim and new people are coming in like ants to honey to join the club because of you, then any clubs or gyms will be very willing to pay you that kind of rates.

The highest I’ve seen a club pay one single instructor, though, was $80 for one workouts exercises class, so if you have your sights set on bigger numbers, you’ll need to think bigger.

Now who else will pay me $120 an hour? If you have great instruction skills and are qualified, there are always opportunities for you to give private sessions in whatever you are good at. There are a lot people who would prefer you to bring your services to their door step, whether its one on one, husband and wife or with their family members.

With privates, you charge whatever you want and keep the entire amount. Still, if you market yourself right, you are able to earn quite a substantial amount of money for your precious time.

Ever thought about teaching in condos, or a small private group. You can market yourselves to individuals who pay to take your “class”. By charging a group of six people $20 each to be in your orkouts exercises class, that’s a $120 an hour! You can set six as a minimum and if there is more its a bonus. But will people want to pay $20 for a fitness class?

Well like what I’ve said earlier, people especially housewives with small young children wouldn’t like to travel all the way out to a city to take a class and then travel all the way back home. They will save all the travelling and watch over their kids play outside the function room with their maid if you can bring the body fitness exercise classes to their door step. By the way, $20 is about the same price as the gyms or studios would charge.

Again, think a little bit more creative. They want advice specific to a need or a want they have. You could provide a six week yoga classes for the children during school holidays. You could offer functional training workouts exercises to prepare members for marathon.  You could hold a “Boot Camp” for the obese kids in schools.

If you are an expert in a field, you could offer highly-advanced classes for the members who like what you offer and want to get better than the general levels can offer.  Or, you could offer a series of classes designed for participant with any special need or goal. Have I got your mind flowing yet?

Think of places where you can teach people in bigger numbers, how about schools? Depending on the numbers of students whether you are teaching in a classroom or in the school hall, you can set your hourly rate from at least $120 or even more. Due to the numbers of students at a time, the $120 will be divided into very small fractions the students have to pay and most don’t even think twice about the fees if they want to join the class.

Corporate companies, that is another area that you can charge higher fees, normally Its either the company pays for the employee’s as work welfare, partially subsidised or the staffs themselves will pay. If the staff themselves are paying, again due to the numbers joining the class, the bigger the number, the cheaper each person have to pay you. thus they wouldn’t mind you charging them higher.

Potential Ideas :

• Private Groups
• Personal Training
• Private Condominiums
• Schools
• Corporate Companies
• Private Events

So now that you have the idea that you are potentially worth more than $60 per class, So how about trying to think a little bigger than that. Do you think you are able to command $250 per body fitness exercise class? Since you are already thinking why not think bigger, $2,500 per hour?

Do not underestimate yourself, you can hold a body fitness exercise conference. Giving talks like “body for life for women”, or “fast weight loss exercise for overweight kids”, or some weight lose motivation talk and the list goes on. Do some brainstorming on your marketing strategy, think out of the box, you will be surprise what you can come out with and I can’t wait to hear that from you!!!
