I am a personal trainer in Washington D.C. I actually live outside of the city, but I usually get to the club at 6:00, so traffic is not bad. Sessions range between 60 to 70 dollars an hour, and we get from 50 to 68% of that, depending on how many hours you work. Our club is very fortunate, however, to be in a very nice area in DC. We have 7 or 8 basically full-time trainers on a membership of about 3000. the company matches 25 cents on the dollar for the first 6% of salary for the 401k and medical costs about 50 a month after two years of service. No vacation pay, but nobody telling when to go on vacation either. We function pretty much as independent contractors, as long as you have enough hours. I have a BS in the field, which some places don't require. However, you do not need any more than that to be successful.
