Thanks for the replies. Both negative and positive, I need to see both sides of the coin. I think people that can look at a situation from the outside stand a better chance of giving an objective opinion and appreciate all advice. I've already talked to a gym (24 HR. Fitness) about a job and they seem enthusiastic about hiring me on-staff. As I understand it I'll have an hourly wage and get a percentage of the fee paid by the clients I train. I'm sure I'll have to be "Joe Salesman" and all that as well. They will also cover the costs of getting additional certifications and with additional education I'll get pay increases. I'm not crazy about the big chain gyms but its a way I can get hands on training, experience, and some semblence of a pay-check until I can go out on my own as an independent. It'll be a long road and while I'm willing to sell memberships I'd never use shifty tactics to get someone to buy something they don't need so there may be some "quota" issues I have to deal with but hopefully it'll work out. Again thanks for any and all replies.
