The purpose of this study was to determine whether the professional competency of personal trainers has any positive influence on customers' level of satisfaction and loyalty to a fitness center. The respondents of this research were those members who had personal trainers in the World Gym Fitness Centers and California Fitness Centers. 400 survey questionnaires were distributed and 347 valid survey questionnaires were collected. After being statistically analyzed by LISERAL 8.20, the data indicated that the professional competency of personal trainers has a positive effect on customers' satisfaction. Furthermore, one's preference has a positive relation with his/her satisfaction. Such results show that the professional competency of personal trainers has a direct relation with customers' loyalty to a fitness center. Therefore, proprietors of fitness centers should focus on strengthening the professional competency of personal trainers and on providing high-quality service. This way, customers have a better impression and a higher loyalty to a center. Thus, the proprietors would be able to make a higher profit from the continuous operation of the fitness center. If a company is unprofitable, i.e. makes losses, then it is usually shut down.
