[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None. I’ve used trainers and the $$ I pay for their service is enough. [/quote]

Wellll.....I dunno. At first my answer was going to be $0, but then I stopped to think more about it.  My housekeeper also provides a service, she keeps 100% of what I pay her at each cleaning, but I would never NOT give her a holiday bonus. I appreciate her tremendously, and know that she works hard. I think the bias in this case is that people assume trainers don't work hard (and that most trainers are male...and hell no why do we want to give any more money to men!) Real trainers no different really than your housekeeper. They're work for themselves, they provide a service, you like their service which is why you continue to "employ" them.  So yes, give them a bonus. $50-$75 sounds fair to me. [/quote]

[b]Trainers usually work on a wage at a gym, they are employees of the gym[/b].  Your housekeeper sounds like she's solo.  [/quote]

First PP here. Not true, it's the opposite actually at least where I live. No one who is serious about using a trainer uses the ones who work for 24 hour Fitness at $25/hour. People who use trainers work with private trainers who rent space at a boutique gym. This is what OP is likely talking about. These people are indeed self-employed.
