Is personal Training mostly a sales job?

I like working out, I am in great shape, and I like training other people…and I am thinking of becoming a personal trainer. But I don’t want to be doing 90% selling of gym memberships and 10% helping people. Does anyone have personal training experience and could you please share your experience?

Hey,

I’ve been working out for over a year now. I am NOT a personal trainer and more like you. I go to 24…

Anyway I do talk to trainers and watch them and it doesn’t seem like its a sales job at all.. you do mainly work with clients. However you might need good selling techniques for them to decide to hire you. So sell yourself basically..

I also do know this other guy who went from front desk, to sales, to personal trainer.
It probably depends on the gym you want to work at as well..

Hope this helped.
