I am working on my business stuff and was thinking about what to charge additionally for a client that wants to share the hour with someone else.
Of course they'd have to do all the paperwork, health history etc....
The going rate here in Nashville is $55 per hour for a single client. I was trying to think ahead of time what it would be to share.
I'm thinking about how tough the economy is and that for some folks it might be more managable to split the time.
I don't think I'd want to do more than 2 at a time. With two you could have them do partnered type activities, w/ 3 it would probably get to cumbersome.
Any thoughts on the fee thing (I will also look online at local trainers to see how they handle this).
Gotta say, I'm MUCH happier thinking about this stuff than "I hope I pass the exam!
here are some samples that I used to put together my trainer rates...the first is on the ACE website and the second is the one that I actually use to handout to my clients and it addresses your question. I hope that this helps
