It completely depends on the gym. Some coaches are salaried and make a certain amount per year based on a work week. (Full time in the US is usually considered 40 hours a week.) I think this is more common for higher level coaches, like owners and allstar directors.I don't understand the concept of being able to live of a salary only coaching. Would someone care to explain? Is it per hour? A pre-negotiated amount payed monthly?
The salary here in Sweden is basically non-existent so I'm really curious how it works. :p
Often times I've heard of being paid a certain amount per hour to coach teams and group classes. Then they are able to schedule their own privates anytime they are available and the gym is open, and the gym only keeps a small amount of that private cost. Coaches with other jobs just coach less classes and privates. Those using it as a full time income can take on more teams, classes and privates.
