What do you guys think of being a personal trainer at CFC? There are two basic requirements to become a personal trainer. You must be young and look fit. That is definately not a problem with you. ;D California Fitness has their own in-house fitness certification that is one or two months long. Guaranteed employment. Only catch is, the contract is for a year. Working hours are twelve hours a day six days a week. Much of the time will spent on sales, not actual instruction, because you are paid by commission according to the number of training packages you sell, and because the starting rate for beginner trainers is frankly quite pathetic. Only the top trainers command a high enough rate to really earn from giving instruction. I know all this because I went for an interview last April. Sorry I can't give figures, I didn't sign the contract so the interviewer didn't want to tell me too much. My impression is, the way CFC works, it sounds pretty similiar to starting out in an insurance company. If you stick it out and slug it out and claw your way up and manage to succeed, the money is there for the taking. Like always, many aspire, but only few succeed. |

Bro if you can to check out the place just give me a shout. I can sign you in as guest for the 2 weeks pass. The bugis branch.. they are using the epic strength racks.. which is a pain in teh a*s... since it's all hooks... either than that.. the place is pretty alright.... Ha ha.. the PT there sometimes say silly things... they won't usually come up to you anywayz... since you already have the size... but if you do sign up .. you get 2 free PT sessions anyway for they to pyscho you to sign up for more... |

Yo Oracle, u are quitting safra megagym? Why the change? no lah. just have more options. was hoping for some good equipment like leg press and rub shoulder with strong hardcore dudes. no fun training in a gym when 95% arent hardcore. |

No disrespect to Gatsu and other national bbs training there, Orchard Cali is too pink and overcrowded for my liking.  |
