No wonder the majority of them do such a bad job. That's simply an appaling wage!!

It's true, gym instructors almost always get paid ridiculously low wages, I understand most of them who make a career of it rely on PT work to get by.

9-10 euro starting and 11-12 euro is doin well! im doing well!! but its not about the money for me-i love fitness and everything about it, also im quite experienced so get 33 euro an hour when i tutor or 50 euro an hour for pt-i dont do much pt as i train most of my spare time but do boxing lessons and i charge 30 euro a half hour, my clients are always very happy with this as you get what you pay for. there is money to be made if you want but you need to be driven and have a good knowledge and personality.
