I have since been terminated from Gold's. Why? Simply because I had a client base at another location for years which they wanted me to give up. I didn't. They cited a non-compete clause (I wasn't taking clients outside, but some followed me to my other location). All corporate gyms are set up for high turnaround. There is little to no difference between a great and mediocre trainer. The great ones leave, like you plan on doing. It's the nature of the business. I have a better answer for you <a href="http://action-fitness.com/wordpress/the-artistry-of-training/" rel="nofollow">here</a> on another post about your question and what happened exactly.

How do you feel about training clients from that gym but at another location? 'under the rada'? I guess you can say it'll affect the quality of the session since you have a worry of being watched by other trainers that are employees there. I am trying this today. I think if I get approached I will sincerly ask why I can't train a friend who needs assistance and doesn't want to pay the gyms high rates? Great.

I'm gonna tweet this because it's so informative! "I am accountable for a product for which I have passion and investment. I am happy, the average “box” gym trainer is not, unless he/she takes you ‘under the table’. Don’t ask me for a deal if I present you a price. It’s already a deal. Take it or take your chance. You don’t haggle with your doctor, your lawyer or your grocer. " SWEET! Awesome Post! I’m gonna tweet this because it’s so informative!
