TweetThe folks that want you to train them at PF, just work a deal with them to pay your membership as part of your fee since there is a chance you get popped by the "no judgement" police for being a trainer.

Yeah I would include that into the price. I probably would just train one person at a time and just once a week if I did it. Then they would train the other times on their own. Not sure if I want to deal with the headache of all this. This isn't my full time job but the extra money would be nice.

I think you could pull off twice a week for both of them. All depends on how anal the PF people are.

Extra cash is always good. Good luck on getting this to work out in your favor bro.

TweetI think it depends on who owns the PF. I had 2 clients that I trained there both twice a week and had no problems whatsoever. In fact the owner came up to me and my client and said what a great job I was doing. He also complimented her on her weight loss.

They don't allow PT there but it is only $10 to join. I figured I could get a membership then just "workout" with them and get paid under the table.

Obviously I couldn't do it a lot as they would pick up on it. Maybe train each of them once a week to help get them started.

What do you guys think? I mean how could they prove I was personal training them if I was working out with them? All I would have to say is they are my aunt or cousin and I'm just working out with them.

I normally wouldn't attempt this at any other gym.

Would do you guys think?

I say do it. They cant prove shit and assumption doesn't mean anything. I would only except cash from your clients though.

TweetI hate gyms that get all anal over "personal training". How stupid. I was at some high end gym one time, showing some friends how to do squats. Suddenly the club personal trainer walks up and says "Excuse me, is there some personal training going on here"..I bout came unhinged. lol...I said "No, these are my friends and they asked me to show them some things. What a crock of horseshit this gym is"

Tweetjust make sure you are both on the same side of denying it and like baby1 says cash only

TweetIf I were you I would try to get as many clients as you can at as many different planet fitness' as you can, concurrently formulate a plot to blow up all the planet fitness "gyms" in the United States. I hate that place. Lunk and proud of it.

TweetIf they say anything throw one of those tiny dumbells at them. They dont have heavy enough ones to actually hurt them but you might scare them off.

TweetI say do it until you get caught! Mind your business and smile big to employees but run that shit as far as u can!

F*** that planet F'n fitness

Lmfaorof

TweetYou guys are hilarious. All the other gyms within close driving range of me want around 40% of the cut. That is not worth my time.

Also I know they don't have heavy weights. One client is a male beginner and other is a female in 60s in good shape for her age but she won't be doing any balls to wall training. She really just wants me to help her with her leg training.
