So you take the courses and then you're certified? So does that mean you could get a job at any gym training? You might have answered this question in the other thread, i dunno.

Yes, the first level is level 1 certification. Then I think you need atleast a year being an active level 1 before you can apply for level 2...etc. I am going to get my level 1 in Aug or Sept.

I can only speak a bit for my area. A lot of our gyms are set up as charitable non-profit organizations and most all the trainers aren't getting paid nothing, are basically doing it on a volunteer basis or because they like me are fighters and want more knowledge and access to knowledge. Plus to be able to work the corner. I do know that people working for the organization can earn a wage, as in the person who put the money up front to open our gym could give himself a monthly or yearly salary, and the trainers could be paid also. But I know for fact most of them make nadda, ziltch, nothing...and do it because boxing is in their blood. The gym is not allowed to earn a profit according to the tax guidelines.

Possibly private clubs trainers are being paid, and I am sure in the pros they are being paid...but I do not know anything of that.
