Right now, I have the place to myself during the day. I get occasional leads from walk-ins while I am there, but I’ve brought all of my own clients (12+ people) and am paying a % to train them there. The studio is in Maryland, outer suburbs of DC.

Hello Linda,
I see you own Breakthrough Fitness and charge $65 per session. I’m confused…who do you pay your percentages to? As an owner you should be keeping 100%.

Sincerely,
Michael

I would base it on volume of hours
When I managed a Studio, the more hours a trainer rented the lower the price.

Michael, see the comment above (under your response)… I think I posted it in the wrong place.

Susan, did you charge a rent per-hour, or per-month?

Right now I am paying MORE than my rent was for my own studio!

Hello Linda,
Thank you for your response. When rent (flat rate) is compared to percent, I lean towards rent/flat rate.
You charge $65 per session/hr and pay out 25%
How many clients or hours do you use the facility per day/week/month?

Sincerely,
Michael

Michael,

I train clients about 30 hours per week, so I’ve been paying the studio about $1500-$2100 per month. Mucho dinero… I could rent my own space for less! Since I have no written contract, I’d like to renegotiate something (and get it in writing). I can see charging a % to trainers who don’t have a clientele yet, but for me, it is insane to pay that much rent to someone else.
