Shouldn't make a big difference
by: Katie - Admin

Since most personal trainers don't even have an associates degree, I wouldn't expect any difference in your salary level. Its unfortunate but even trainers with a full four year exercise science degree won't get a much better salary from typical gyms. The real salary difference comes years later when you start your own business and really draw upon the knowledge you have to make a difference to your clients.

Fitness is a profession and should be recognized as such. The more education the better you are along with on the job training
