Earning Potential
Group exercise is a popular way to keep fit, for a 1hour exercise to music class working for a gym, you can earn approximately £30-£40 per hour (London) or £15-£30 per hour (rest of UK).
If you hire your own hall or studio you can charge £3.50- £6 per person, so for a class of 15, that would be £50-£90 per class.
Do I Need Any Experience
You don’t need any previous experience to learn to become a studio professional but it is essential that you have participated in different types of exercise to music classes, such as aerobics, body pump or step.
You need to be confident with aerobic moves and be fairly fit before you attend the practical workshop. We strongly recommend that all fitness professionals obtain Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) training, especially before setting up as a self-employed instructor.
