Costs to Your Client
Your clients must have an active open gym membership to train with you. Your client pays this directly to Sand and Steel Fitness. If you want to use the Open Gym Plus equipment with your client, then the client also needs the open gym plus membership. With the Open Gym or Open Gym Plus Membership, your client will be able to come to our Open Gym if they want to. Your client will be required to sign a liability waiver, just like all clients at Sand & Steel.
Pricing Policies
- Prices shown are per client. We do not currently have our software setup to allow you to train more than one client per hour.
- Early Renewal Option: If you need to book more sessions than your package allows, our software will simply renew your membership early. The process is fully automated. If you wind up cancelling the extra session, your membership won’t renew early.
Tech and Client Support
As a personal trainer renting space in our gym, you are treated like a client of the gym. You’ll have tech support for all our software, and the support of our staff to make sure your personal training sessions with your clients go as planned. We want you to be successful and Sand & Steel, we’ll help you to do so.
Booking Your Clients
- App or Website: We have an easy-to-use app and calendar-based website that you use to book yourself into “Trainer Rental” slots. You reserve yourself when you have a client to train. Your client books you on your own scheduling software. You book the spot with our software.
- Unauthorized Training: If you train a client when you are not reserved — there is a $60 unauthorized training fee. Repeated offenses will lead to account suspension.

Spacing, Coordination, and the 6 Foot Rule
- If there is a class in session, you cannot use the group class area. Otherwise, you may use the group class area.
- Whether with our other coaches or open gym members, you need to harmoniously share space with other members and coaches. This is a simple matter of coordinating with other personal trainers or members who might be working at the same time as you to maintain spacing. In practice, this is a matter of speaking with the other coaches and members and figuring out which space you need and which equipment.
- You should keep your training area to about 10 square feet.
- We require that you maintain a 6-foot buffer between your client, other clients, and other coaches. E.g. everyone must be spaced 10 feet apart. Check out COVID-19 Policies for updated information on spacing requirements.
- Make sure the area is clean at the end of your session. You may not go over your allotted time for any reason. Your space must be cleaned and reset by the end of the hour.
Open Policy
Open Gym Rules. You and your clients are bound by all of the Open Gym Policies. You must follow that at all times. Failure to follow them will lead to account suspension and/or termination. The rules are listed below, now is the time to ask if you have questions as to what they mean. Excuses that “you didn’t know” will not be accepted.
Open Gym requires a membership to book it, request a price quote here.
