salary survey for exercise physiologist

Hi Tami,

I assume that you want to know which salary you can expect with a degree in exercise physiology. Unfortunately, there are so many factors involved that there is probably not one answer. Geography plays a role, but so do your other qualifications and the competitiveness of the market.

I would suggest that you start looking here at IDEA at the articles where you can filter by ‘compensation’ and see whether it will give you an approximation of the information you are looking for.

Hi Tammy,

I agree with Karin. One more factor that I would add to Karin’s is the setting you are looking to work at. For example hospital vs. non-hospital setting, or working for a professional team vs. a university, etc.

Best,

People call themselves exercise physiologists with a BS. I tend to consider exercise physiologists having PhDs. I understand there is a MS in exercise physiology, although I myself would not call myself, or refer to a person with this higher education as an exercise physiologist. Therefore, there are different salary ranges depending on your education and experience.

What are your colleagues doing in the field? Where have they found employment? What advise did you get during your studies, as far as direction? What advise would a person with a doctorate in exercise physiology tell you? Interview them? Goggle salaries.

Bon chance,
Danielle
