Wyoming anonymous LLC. Single-member disregarded entity initially. The LLC signs client contracts and waivers, receives session payments (Stripe / Square / Venmo Business under LLC EIN), and holds gym-space rental agreements where applicable.
Personal trainers work in close 1:1 client relationships with significant physical-injury exposure.
