how much money make a personal trainer in a year

Hello Hamed,
as Joanne and Daniel stated, you can make a living in the fitness industry but it can also be challenging to get started.
Many trainers begin by working for a gym, and those positions are not known to pay a lot. Unfortunately, many gyms are more in the business of SELLING personal training that of providing QUALITY personal training, and that can lead to early frustration.
Getting off on your own has its own set of challenges because you have to build a client base, and you also have to decide what kind of trainer you want to be.
I have been in the industry for 17 years and have a stable income. But it took a number of years to get there. To be honest, I am not near the income I had when I worked with IBM. On the other hand, it’s been the most rewarding experience of my working career and I would not go back.
I can only recommend that you get your certification as a personal trainer. Just don’t quit your day job immediately.
