Re: Personal Training (Career) CANADIANS!
Well I live in the states, but I'm getting my undergrad in exercise science. I know a guy that just graduated with the same degree and he got a job in Chicago training for a private clinic and I think he will be making around $50/hour. There will be always be a demand for trainers because health will always be an important aspect of life. As for the opportunities, making that much money to start off is probably unlikely, but depending on your area and work ethic, I'm sure lots of money can be made in the training industry.

Re: Personal Training (Career) CANADIANS!
I'm also in the U.S. I did personal training when I worked at Blank Total Fitness and the pay ranges from $18-54/hour there.. The price variations has to do with which package the consumer buys. However, don't expect to be making $50/hour for 40 hours weekly. You have to be a good salesperson to do personal training because you're selling yourself as the service. My friends who are still personal trainers work between 20-40 hours weekly and a couple make upwards of $70k yearly. It starts off slowly, but once you develop a clientele it's pretty easy to make a good living. Try to get in a community with good demographics and a relatively high income level.

Yes that will help, especially if you're face-to-face.

Re: Personal Training (Career) CANADIANS!
Good advice down to die! There definitely is not one price for personal training. One personal training at my gym makes 65 dollars an hour and trains all the athletes, which some may train celebs and make millions.
I think the key is education/certifications, experience, and getting your name known. Are you in an education program (school), to learn this field? Also get certified through a highly recognized organization. The most recognized are NSCA, and ACSM.
