How personal trainers get paid
Personal Trainers run memberships on recurring cards, take ACH for annual plans, and sign members up through hosted fields, all on Flux.
A typical Flux setup for personal trainers
A trainer's money flow is personal: a handful of clients, sessions worth real money each, and income that stops the week you stop collecting. The setup is correspondingly simple. Session packages are charged upfront to a card captured once through hosted fields, single sessions bill to the stored card after you train, and an emailed or texted invoice covers the client who wants to pay per month. No terminal or storefront is required.
Cash flow is where the rails matter. Card payments settle in 1-2 business days, instant payouts via Visa Direct can move funds to an eligible debit card the same day, and clients who pay in stablecoins over Solana or Ripple (XRP Ledger) settle to your wallet instantly. With no monthly fees on qualifying card volume or minimums, a trainer billing a dozen clients pays only the flat 2.9% plus 30 cents per charge, and QuickBooks sync keeps tax season from becoming archaeology.
What personal trainers should watch
The awkward conversations are the friction. Charging a stored card for a late cancellation only works when the client agreed to the policy in writing before the first session, and enforcing it on the third offense but not the first two is how goodwill and disputes both go wrong. Prepaid packages quietly solve most of this: the money conversation happens once per ten sessions instead of ten times, and a no-show consumes a session instead of requiring a new charge.
Watch the boundary between business and personal money. Training income mixed into a personal account makes quarterly taxes a reconstruction project; settling to a business account with QuickBooks sync keeps every session charge categorized as it lands. And when a client relocates with sessions left on a package, refund the unused balance to their original card promptly. A trainer's business runs on referrals, and a clean refund is cheaper marketing than a contested charge.
Simple, transparent pricing
Flux charges a flat 2.9% plus 30 cents per transaction, with volume discounts for higher-volume personal trainers and the option to pass the fee to the customer at checkout where local surcharging rules allow. No setup fees and no contracts. Accounts processing under $100,000 a year in card volume may be subject to a $20 monthly account fee.

What does Flux charge personal trainers?
A flat 2.9% plus 30 cents per transaction, with volume discounts for higher-volume merchants and no setup fees or contracts. Accounts processing under $100,000 a year in card volume may be subject to a $20 monthly account fee. You can also pass the processing fee to the customer at checkout where local surcharging rules allow.
How fast do personal trainers get their money?
Card payments settle in one to two business days and ACH in one to three business days. Stablecoin payments go to your wallet instantly.
Can I get paid the same day I train a client?
Yes, two ways. Instant payouts via Visa Direct move funds to an eligible debit card the same day, and stablecoin payments over Solana or Ripple (XRP Ledger) land in your wallet instantly. Standard card settlement is 1-2 business days otherwise.
What is the best way to bill a 10-session package?
Charge the full package to the client's card once, then track sessions against it. The single upfront charge means you never chase payment mid-package, and your cancellation policy can simply consume a session for a no-show.
What happens if a client's card declines the morning of a session?
You see the decline immediately, because the charge attempt happens through the API rather than after the fact, so you can request an updated card before you train. Some trainers keep a backup card on file for exactly this.
