That’s about right Rick.
I make more working 30 hours per week as a personal trainer/group instructor then I did as a full time (40-60 hrs per week) as a competitive gymnastics coach.
Mind you I partly own the fitness facility.
It takes some time and alot of hard work to get there, but once a personal trainer establishes their clientele base and what they are “known for” seems like you never have enough hours in the day sometimes.
Great news. I’m really happy to hear it.
