Becoming a fitness professional (personal trainer) takes 8 weeks most of the time, and without much else experience you can charge $100 per hour just because you have that title.

An S&C Coach spends years coaching to attain their ASCA Levels, then more time to gain PCAS Designations, most likely have spent 3 years doing a Bachelors Degree and a good portion also do a Masters.

Yet...

When it comes to quantifying their value, truly recognising what this mass of education and practical experience means - most wouldn’t have the confidence to charge anywhere near that.

Think on it.

Too often I see highly qualified strength and conditioning settle for the status quo relating to fair payments / salaries rather than challenge it.

The more coaches who recognise and OWN their value as a professional and an expert in their field, the sooner things will change.

RECOGNISE YOUR VALUE.
