How to Become an Online Personal Trainer in India

Trainee is an Indian marketplace where certified personal trainers coach clients online. Joining is free — no signup fee, no subscription and no charge for using the app. Clients pay upfront for a 30, 90 or 180-day plan through Razorpay, and your share is released on a rolling 30-day cadence. Commission is based on your all-time earnings on Trainee, so you keep 85%, 88% or 90%.

How it works

  1. Create your profile — Build your trainer profile in minutes. Add certifications, specialties, pricing and availability. Verification typically takes 24–48 hours.
  2. Get discovered — Clients search by location, specialty and schedule, and every trainer gets a public, indexable profile page.
  3. Coach and get paid — Clients pay upfront for a 30, 90 or 180-day plan. You build their workouts and diet and coach them — your share releases on a rolling 30-day cadence.

Plans unlock only after a client has paid, so you never build a programme or run a session before the money has cleared.
