    Working at two different gyms at the same time as a PT?

    So I recently got a job as a PT (about 1.5 months ago) and the hours are not enough for me to make good money so far. I was thinking about applying to another gym about 20 minutes away from my current one (so not really a competitor) in order to get more clients/hours. Is this a bad idea if my boss finds out? I don't want to ask him since I'm still fairly new. I'm in Canada at a community gym and I'm looking to apply to another gym that is a health club/commercial gym if that makes a difference. Also, would the gyms I'm applying to care if I'm still working at another one?

    Also, consider once your do start getting several clients. You will eventualy have to chose one place or the other. Going back and forth is going to take a big chunk out of your paycheck due to travel time and expense.
    You better enjoy the ride, because its a long road.

    This. Plus, you shouldn't expect to be busy after working there for 6 weeks because it takes time (sometimes months) to build a steady client base. If I were you, I'd stick to one gym unless financially you're in a position in which you have to make more money now.
