Awesome! Put in that work and don’t forget to grow your own personal business as far as training. I’ll be uploading an update video within the next couple of weeks. I have so much to say about these last five years of being in the industry. I love it, but have learned that you better always look out for you.

Thank you! Can’t wait for the updates!

@@pescatarian_fitnesslova423 Congrats for getting on with Anytime. Ike was killed in a car accident recently. Keep his family and Burn Fit family in your thoughts. Like Ike told you, focus on building you as a brand. Much success to you!

😂

Thanks at ton!!!🦾🦾🦾

Appreciate it bro 🦾

I’m no longer there but I believe most of them do a 60/40 split when it comes to personal training, with a trainer gets 40% in the gym gets 60%. If you do any front desk work they’ll give you an hourly rate for that which could be anywhere from minimum wage to $12 an hour, depending on the owners. I got lucky when I first joined them because the previous trainers left abruptly so they had about a dozen of clients who were still on the contract with no trainer which automatically went to me. Sometimes it takes weeks to months to really build your clientele so it varies how your starting income will be. If you take a job like that just get in there and hustle. Work the floor, start conversations, build rapport, get to know the people and show interest in them and their lives. Relate as much as you can and make them laugh. Also, let them see you working out in there. Show off your body or workout skills and then once they start asking you different things, that’s when you know they bit the hook so get them booked for a consult/free training session. After that, all you gotta do is get them to sign.

They are franchise owned locations, so it honestly just depends on who’s running the place. If they own multiple locations, then they may have an HR person who handles the onboarding so it may take about a week to get you in there. It all just depends on their process but you should be good. I would definitely still reach out to them just to ask there’s anything you should be doing to prepare for your first day.

@@gymuy_ike Thank you!💪🥇

@thebestican247 Preciate it. Wels-Nxsty Blood

Thanks bro!

I’m not sure that I fully understand the question. There’s definitely nothing wrong with taking a week off from working out. I’ll advise my clients to take one week off from lifting weights a week in between the programs are billed for them. So if someone is doing a program with me for 24 weeks then I get them to do a week of recovery and cardio.

I got 15 on day one only bc they’re last trainer left and ppl were still on contract. It was really intimidating because I had got the job literally the day I passed my Nazem exam. I had already been a member and want to be desk employees reached out. I have never officially trained someone before so it was pretty intimidating and I had to learn quickly! I had to create their programs and everything.

Woow ! How was the adjustment to this ?

I’m pretty sure that you can get certified at 17. Just check with whichever provider you go through. And I would definitely go up to the local gym and tell them that you’re working on your PT certificate and they’ll probably start to let you shadow or come in to get a feel of the gym life. They might even go ahead and hire you to work the desk if they need it. I’m no longer working for anytime fitness, I currently work for a Group training gym. But I am going to make a video and update everyone on the last four years. Be on the lookout

Both really but depends on what position you want to take on? Definitely certified for personal training but I’m surely they’ll let you shadow or get some desk hours if you’re working on your cert

How’s it going man? It’s @gymguy_ike I’ll follow back

Hey Suriah. I hope your interview went well! Thanks for the comment.

No problem and awesome! I’m doing group training at a place called BurnBootCamp now while I am growing my online training business.

Awesome channel btw!

@@gymuy_ike yes I know that place. I almost worked there but decided to go a Different direction. Good luck on everything

@@gymuy_ike thanks so much!

How do you get a job ?

Thanks a ton bro.

Yes I am! Sure can

Not anymore. I do boot camps for a couple of gyms and my own personal/online training now.

Congrats! Hope you did well on your first day! Soak up as much knowledge as you can.

Sorry about this crazy late response. But you’re definitely right. No, I’m not with any time fitness anymore. I’ve been with three other gyms to the date. One of those gyms I was with for about 3 1/2 years and I still do a little bit of group fitness for them from time to time. I’ll be uploading and update video within the next couple of weeks. A ton more coming.

@@gymuy_ike I forget what I was talking about. It seems like your dedicated to fitness, that’s great. If I become a personal trainer, my clients will hate me. We are working that muscle until the contraction isn’t there.

Absolutely. I am.

Hey Will. I know it’s two years later and I’m not sure why I never received an email for your comment. I’m definitely about to make an update video within the next couple of weeks. It’s been a wild five years in the fitness industry.

Nice!!! Be sure to reach back out to them! Stop by if necessary, show them your hungry just be prepared for them to ask for a demonstration

I agree! I called to introduce myself and ask some questions BEFORE I put my application in and they let me shadow on of their sessions!

I got the job started training class today .. thanks 🙏🏾 for the support..

Kaleb Rinear Go for it. It’s a different feeling once you actually start doing it so definitely try it out and see if you like it as a career option. If not you still have plenty of time to pivot in another direction. It’s fun but definitely challenging bc you have to try to make exercising fun for ppl who don’t like exercising so you definitely get in an uncomfortable zone at times. It’s rewarding as well once your ppl start seeing results. Just do not, I repeat, DO NOT, forget about yourself. My current job calls for me to train multiple group fitness camps 5-6 times per week and it breaks down your body to put energy in others and it can be draining mentally and physically. So don’t forget to take care of yourself mostly and be patient with yourself learning the craft.

Thanks bro!

Same here bro! Good luck!

SHAWN TURNER that’s awesome! Have you trained before?

@@gymuy_ike no I havent but I'm so excited to learn and I am ready to train myself....

SHAWN TURNER that’s the best way to start. Start training yourself. Keep a close eye on your form, then practice training a friend ask always ask them for feedback

SHAWN TURNER good luck!

Rebel with a Dream absolutely!

Rebel with a Dream thanks bro! Good luck to your future endeavors

Jake Stumbaugh Body Design focuses more on the the business side of training and the basics of personal training. They might go over 20% of what’s on the actual NASM exam. A lot of employers know of Body Design, in the Atlanta area anyway, and it makes a nice mark on your resume. But you’ll do fine just going through NASM.

@@gymuy_ike Thanks man I appreciate the response , I will probably go for the Nasm that guarantees a job and gives me the option to retest it but still not sure the price is worth it.

Mal & fam You don’t have to show any type of qualifications to purchase the course. But you have to be CPR/AED certified to take the actual exam. You’ll have to present it when you arrive to the testing center.

Lawrence Lockhart thanks bro

Jade Robinson thanks a ton!!!!!

Jade Robinson that’s the move!!! I’m with a company called Burn Boot Camp now that I will make a video about soon. Your transformation will inspire others along with your PT knowledge. Stay strong, good luck and keep pushing!!!!

Jasmine B The 2 weeks option. You’ll be in an actual class setting Monday-Saturday, with Saturday being a recap and final test. Then you’ll have a 40 hour internship at their gym. If you’re coming from out of state then you can do it the following week. If you’re from the area then you might do your internship a week or two afterwards

Goldie Edwards thanks a ton bro. Good luck and keep studying!

Matthew Freeman congrats Matthew! Good luck!!

Thanks a ton man. Just a PT certificate and CPR/AED is all you need to become a trainer. I don’t think you need a GED to get certified but still get it eventually though. Keep grinding bro and good luck!

@@gymuy_ike No doubt, how much does it cost to get them ? Thanks for the motivation tho !

Godflow93 there’s a few different options. Check out NASM.com and different cpr/AED courses. The NASM site will give you all the info you need.
