For Personal Trainers

In 2010 it became apparent that the fitness industry, big box gyms in particular, required personal trainers to sign contracts that essentially controlled their activities in the fitness industry.  These legally binding agreements stipulated that trainers couldn’t work outside of the confines of their fitness centres/ organizations and often included non-sollicitation clauses (you can’t invite you clients if you’re going elsewhere) and even non-competition clauses (if you leave you can’t work as a trainer within so many kilometers of the fitness club).  Some of those clauses wouldn’t hold up in court.  The sad truth is that with the percentages of training fees paid by most clubs, no trainer can afford to go to court.

As a response to these limiting circumstances, we’ve created Empower Fitness where you’re free to work where you want and charge what you want. We want you to build your own business as you see fit. We do not hire trainers. We do not make you sign a contract. We do not charge any fees to your clients. Here, you run your own business.

There are several approaches we use in billing trainers. Contact me to find out which is best for you!  In any case: NO contracts, NO minimums and NO quotas.
