what percentage does the gym get from personal trainers

I’ve seen a lot of variety.

At one place I’ve seen, the trainers get only 30% to 40%, depending on their sales, which sounds really low but the hourly charge for trainers was quite spendy at that boutique firm, plus all types of sales (memberships, training, small group training, seminar attendance fees, apparel, foam rollers…..) counted towards their sales base for determining %.

At other places, the rate is higher, around 50-60% for the trainer, but these tend to be bigger box gyms where the hourly training rates are pretty low.

At a studio where I’ve worked, it’s exactly 50% and we put in 50% of the effort together (marketing).
