Ep 64: How to make more money as an instructor in 2024
Listen on…
We ALL live in hope that 2024 will be the year that instructor pay improves. But… but this podcast is called group fitness Real Talk, and the real talk is that any big shifts - not matter how well deserved - don’t seem very likely.
So how exactly can you make more money as an Instructor in 2024?
I think you need to get smart in how you use your time and how you seek opportunities. And this is the subject that I’ll be discussing in this epsiode with Rosanna Tucker from CoverMe.
If you’re not aware of CoverMe, it’s a digital solution that matches freelance instructors with fitness facilities so that classes will always go ahead.
It’s a really simple concept but one that really excites me because CoverMe sets out to solve the same problems as we do at SH1FT - creating a solution that allows you, the instructor, to exploit every opportunity possible AND make as much money as possible for the time you put in.
So, How do we both do this?
At SH1FT we provide the tools…
…and CoverMe provides the opportunities. Their goal is to source the clubs and the classes, and serve them to instructor like you who are looking for a simpler, more efficient way to make more money.
But let’s wind it back to what I mean by SH1FT having ‘the tools’. If you’re listening to this and you’re already a SH1FT Instructor, you’ll know exactly what I mean when I say a SH1FT Instructor can be ready to cover a class in ANY genre in a matter of minutes.
If you’re not a SH1FT Instructor you’re probably calling bullshit right now. But it really isn’t, and thats thanks to two things that we offer instructors that are very different to the rest of the industry:
1) A SH1FT PRO membership - which gives you access to every Group Fitness genre for one very low monthly cost.
2) The SH1FT App - which does the pre-work for you, meaning you can be ready to teach any type of class (even one you don’t normally teach) at the drop of a hat!
And with CoverMe, you’ll have access to more opportunities to use your skills, and make more money.
In today’s conversation Rosanna will tell you about her history in fitness, including her approach to group fitness innovation with Studio Society and then we’ll go on to talk about how a simple concept, like class cover, could actually be a game changer in giving YOU more opportunities to make money - as well as save on time on finding new clubs and doing dull stuff like invoicing.
Now I know that you’ve already got a headstart of the average instructor because you’re listening to this podcast. You know the importance of educating yourself and so I know that this opportunity will be music to your ears. So my advice is to get out there and take up this opportunity now, before the rest of the industry catch up.
