Job Title: Fitness Trainer

Company: Planet Fitness

Location: Cincinnati, OH

Pay: $14 per hour

AI Pay Analysis: An hourly rate of $14 for a Fitness Trainer in Cincinnati, OH is below the industry standard in both the city and the fitness sector. As of 2023, the average hourly wage for fitness trainers in the U.S. ranges from approximately $15 to $25, depending on experience, certifications, and the type of facility (e.g., corporate gym versus private studio). In Cincinnati specifically, rates around $18 to $22 per hour are more common, reflecting trends in both demand for fitness services and cost of living. Therefore, $14 per hour would likely be considered uncompetitive and may challenge retention and recruitment efforts for trainers in the area.
