Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them. They are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.

Market view. Leisure assistants and lifeguards pay at or just above the National Living Wage; fitness instructors sit in the middle of the band and gym and leisure managers above it (£30,000–£45,000). Personal trainers are usually self-employed, paying rent to the gym and charging £30–£60 a session.
