personal training in the US

what are some of the systems for it? Because in Australia you may aswell just be a used car salesman, first you do your fitness course to learn how to become a personal trainer....Then you have to pay the gym $1200 or so up front followed by $250 a week "rent" in other words more money in the gyms pocket. The money from the client goes all to the trainer meaning if you are bad at sales and nagging people to sign up for PT then you end up earning peanuts.

Not every single gym is like this but thats an example of the more popular chains, smaller independent ones have their own systems, what are some of the examples in the US?

And now for a serious answer bro, in Australia you may aswell just be a used car salesman, first you do your fitness course to learn how to become a personal trainer....Then you have to pay the gym $1200 or so up front followed by $250 a week "rent" in other words more money in the gyms pocket.
