I recently just did my course through the max fitness college. Campuses are in brisbane, melbourne and auckland. Best place to go, not a short course. Its a 12 week course full time, diploma of business involved aswell (teach you how to run a business) Great circle of influence and you will learn what you need to know to be a succesful pt. Ongoing learning. Costs around $6500 well worth the money though. My insurance and rego are going through on monday the 9th and already have clients booked in for next week. Im working as a subcontractor out of Jetts 24hr gyms on a rent scheme and charge $40 - 30mins, $60 - 45mins, $80 - 60mins then also packages. It is what you make it. If you are dedicated and spend the time to get to know people first and can establish good repoort you will go places.
