Are you supposed to tip a personal trainer?

No, i have had a personal trainer for 3 years and am currently studying to be one myself. Trust me, if you stick to the plan he gives you and show results that is all the thanks they need but still Thanks for the guidance goes along way. Nevertheless, i give my trainer a bonus in a christmas card every year for his efforts.

You usually tip for a service when you like it. \n\nIf you are satisfied with the job done - grooming your dog, you could do that. On contrary, not giving tip it is a way to express your dissatisfaction. \n\nAlso people tent to remember you tipping them, so next time they will pay more attention to your requests and needs. \n\nDo so and thing that the person receiving the tip, has needs and wills as all of us. Your tip would make him happy.

A personal trainer takes the time to know YOU as a person, what your fitness goals are, what you enjoy doing and what you don't, your personal strengths and weaknesses, etc.  \n\nShe then designs a workout for you which will help you achieve your goals and challenge you without making you give up.  This workout can evolve as you gain strength and endurance.  She might work out with you or just guide you.  \n\nMy trainer works out with me once a month. In between I work out 3x a week on my own for 80 minutes each time.  I talk to her at least once a week to tell her how I'm doing and if I have any questions or problems.  When we work out together, she goes over whatever new concepts she introduced last time to make sure I'm doing those exercises correctly and then teaches me something new or a more challenging way to do an existing exercise.

Most of the advise I have read says that there is no specific exericise that will affect one part of the body over another.  You need to discuss your concerns with the trainer at the gym and follow the advice you are given.  That is what you are paying for!

It depends, but most public servants are not allowed to take money from those they are helping because it is a conflict of interest.\nIt can be misconstrued that they got good service and will continue to get good service only if they "tip" you.

sheer policy madness.\ntipping should not be an obligation, but I wonder whether it is good on part of employers to ban tipping.

No, the professional tennis players do not tip the ball people, unless they hire a personal ball-person, which probably never has been done. The tournament in which the ballboys are registerd has to pay them, unless it is voluntary.

I guess it depends on what they're training for.  The Y in South County has personal trainers of all types.  I think the Y in West County and South City do as well.

No, My husband installs tile and has for 10 years.  He has been tipped once and it was because he helped them move some furniture while he was there. Just tell them thanks and tell them what a good job they did.  You may also tell them that you will refer them to a friend if they ever need tile done.

I should think they're both on about minimum wage.  Tips would depend on how good you are!

A maid is an employee. Unless you hire a cleaning service for a one time deal. If that is the case I would do the standard 10-15%.\n You don't tip an employee, unless you want to give a bonus or Christmas gift. \nPay them a good wage up front.

I have never heard of this.  Often the drinks are the most expensive part of the bill... and they require the wait staff to run back and forth from the table to the bar.  So I would always include the drinks when I am figuring out the tip.

the best person to ask for tips is your boyfriend. Talk to each other while you are at it.

hey,\ni used to work at a gym.\nat the gym i worked at, the prices were different for each trainer depending on their experience level. also, it depended on how much the trainer was willing to charge. the gym had guidelines for the trainers, but really it was up to the trainers to decide how much to charge each client.\nI'd suggest talking to a couple different trainers about your goals and how often you want to meet, and then ask about prices...\ngood luck\n; )

Complement the pizza? Maybe leave a reasonable tip

Guess it depends on where you go and how expensive. \n\nTypically, at a place like Supercuts maybe a dollar or two should be fine.  If its a more professional shop and they use scissors maybe up to $5.  Though if I think about it the same percent you'd tip a waitress might be fine.

15 - 20 is the norm.  If you really like the person's work, reward them on the high side.  Hair styling is an art and when you find the person who does the perfect cut or keeps you from looking like a poodle, you want to hang on to them.  \n\nTo not tip at all, is ignorant.
