I'm going to write my exam to be certified soon. A question I have is how much do you charge people per session? Can you charge whatever you want so long as people are willing to pay?

I haven't looked into this enough to know if this is an official title/career across the board, outside of the organization I was certified through, but there is a level of personal trainer referred to as a Master of Fitness Sciences who supposedly charges an average of $150/hour per client. They have to meet all this criteria to earn this title, however, and have to be a "regular" trainer for a number of years before they'll even be considered for nomination.Originally Posted by Big Slim DaDDy

I'm not certified *yet* (test is next Saturday). I would assume a PT charges based on the market. At the gym I am currently at the owner charged me $25 per session (2 yrs ago). I have seen advertised at another gym $90, and even up to $99 at the yMCA. In fact, when friends 1st learned I was studying they all said the same thing, "You can make alot of money." If I was a client in this area, I would definitely search around for the better deal.

I think how much you charge depends a lot on your marketing and, of course, your ability to deliver quality sessions.Originally Posted by FresnoBeeDude
I did a blog post a while back about the different types of trainers out there, and why some can get away with charging higher rates:
