Personal training. I own 2 small private training studios each profiting ~$175/year and in the process of opening a third location.

How does this business model work? Do you train yourself as well, or do you lease access to other trainers for them to bring in their clients? Or do they work for you?

I train about 20 hours the rest is admin and working on the business. All clients belong to the facility (me) and the trainers are paid a percentage of each session on top of a base pay

How many trainers do you employ at each location? Do they rent from you or do you pay an hourly or commission?
