Are you a fitness instructor (gym or boutique studio)? Can you answer some questions?

[Anonymous]

What/where do you teach?
What were the total sum of your certification costs?
Would you do it again?
What would you do differently? Avoid?
Do you actually make money (even if it's pocket change), or do you tend to break even?
Do you get any perks (discounts, freebies, etc)?

What/where do you teach?
-Pilates at a Pilates studio

What were the total sum of your certification costs?
-about $5000, give or take $500 (I can't remember ember exactly right now)

Would you do it again?
-yes

What would you do differently? Avoid?
-I would take my time trying to finish my certification. I wanted to get all my hours done by a certain date, and I managed but it was tough (I had to get hundreds of hours teaching, observing, and of self practice)

Do you actually make money (even if it's pocket change), or do you tend to break even?
-I only teach part time (evenings), but yes I make money. I earned back what I've invested fairly quickly for part time IMO. Total earnings so far are maybe 4x what I've invested, in about 3 yrs.

Do you get any perks (discounts, freebies, etc)?
-free classes where I teach

Do you actually make money (even if it's pocket change), or do you tend to break even? I paid off my costs of training in the first year. I make anywhere from $45/hour to $13.25 am hour.
Do you get any perks (discounts, freebies, etc)?

yes. Loads of discounts on gear, clothing etc through yoga alliance, free gym membership, free Crossfit membership, 30% discount on everything at Athleta and 15% at lulu.

Unless you are a studio manager or in corporate in Denver no one works full time for corepower. Most teachers teach anywhere from 1-10 classes a week.

And yes, I teach there.

Can you tell me about benefits, or pros/cons of working there?

Do you get retail discounts? What is the range of hourly/class pay?
