Ever wonder what group fitness instructors get paid?

Or... if what you're getting paid is "industry standard?"

To my knowledge, there's little-to-no information widely available on the average pay scales for instructors, coaches, or the junior-to-lead instructor promotion.

In this episode, I'm opening up the conversation about pay transparency in our industry and start to share results from my new project, the Fit Pro Pay Transparency Project, where I'm collecting survey responses from group fitness instructors from around the world until April 15.

We also talk about:

• Why instructors should get paid commission or bonuses
• Contractors vs. employees
• Finances for fitpros
• How it's not the studio vs. instructors
• Why transparency helps everyone understand expectations
