We do a 60/40 split with all training packages. You will receive 60% of total cost of the sessions. If the client re-signs for a new package, your split is increased to 70%. We offer 15 and 30 session packages to our clients.

10. When do I get paid for training clients?
You are paid every two weeks for sessions completed during that period. When you complete a session, the client must sign the client log for that date. Client logs must be faxed back to FindMyTrainer on the 15th, and last day of every month. You will receive payment at 60% total cost of all sessions completed during this time. A client signature is required as proof of services rendered. You will receive payment no later than the 10th and 25th of each month via check to your listed address, or direct deposit into your checking account. FindMyTrainer does not withhold any taxes, therefore you will be responsible for paying the required taxes on your income.

11. What if my insurance or certification expires?
Current Certification and Liability insurance are required for a personal training position with FindMyTrainer. We will keep your renewal dates on file and if they should lapse, you are responsible for getting us your current renewal information. If we are not provided with this information, the client will be transferred to another trainer, and payment to you will only be made for sessions completed while under current certification.

12. Where will I train clients?
We suggest that you do not take an area larger than a 20 mile radius. Clients will specify where they want to be trained and, if available, you will train them at their desired location. Just as in any other training facility, punctuality is a requirement. Tardiness is not acceptable.

13. When do I train clients?
We are always signing new clients. You will be required to send a weekly calendar of you availabilities. If you do not send the calendar we will assume your schedule is the same as the previous week and that you have no new availabilities or black out times. You will be making a “commitment” to have the requested times open for the client. The client may change the time at which they want to be trained. We will keep up with the client on their schedule changes, but we also ask that you let us know as well so that we can change your schedule availability.

14. When is the bi-weekly calendar due?
It is due by Friday at noon. Send it by email to calendar@findmytrainer.com.

15. How will I know when a client cancels?
The client will contact you by the best number provider and send you an email of the cancellation. We require 24 hours notice of cancellation for all personal training appointments. It is your responsibility to reschedule the session with your current calendar availabilities.

16. What happens if I cannot form a good relationship with my client?
Client rapport is extremely important in the personal training industry. FindMyTrainer wants to provide our clients with complete satisfaction with their traning and their trainer. We make courtesy calls to all our client bi-weekly for the first month and then monthly from then on out. We perform these courtesy calls to ensure that the client is satisfied with their trainer as well as their training. If the client is not satisified with their current trainer, a new trainer will be assigned to them. You will be paid for all sessions completed up until that point and we will do our best to place you with a new client.

17. What if I train a client directly and collect money from them?
If the client was provided to you by FindMyTrainer your contract will be terminated and a lawsuit will be scheduled immediately in the San Diego Courts for the costs of the personal training package x 12 months. If you plan on taking clients we recommend you work directly with FindMyTrainer to save yourself the headache of going to court in San Diego.
