Teach on The Studio Online

Your studio, your way

Your profile, your name, your method, front and centre.

• You set your price, charged per subscriber, per month. We suggest somewhere around £8 to £20, but it's your call.
• You keep 70% of every payment, the first month and every renewal after. Our 30% covers the platform and the marketing that brings people to you. Stripe's standard processing fee (typically 1.5% to 2.9%, plus 20p per charge) comes out of your 70%, the same as it would on any online payment.
• Payouts land in your bank every Friday.
• Film when it suits you, from wherever suits you.
• The subscriber base is ours to grow and look after. Your classes and your name stay yours.

What we look for in a class

Nothing fancy, just proper teaching.

• A structure people can actually progress with, not a one-off circuit.
• Pilates or Barre, or both.
• Classical and contemporary Pilates are both welcome. Just be clear on your profile which one you teach.
• Filmed in landscape, in 1080p or better, with clear sound and detailed cueing throughout. It's online, so your voice does the work your hands would in the room.
• Plenty of modifications offered as you go, and clear notes in the class description for anyone pre or postnatal, carrying an injury, or otherwise needing to take care.
• Works with just a mat. Props are a bonus, never required.
• One short free sample class, 5 to 10 minutes, that anyone can watch without subscribing. It's optional, but we push it hard: it lets someone who's never trained with you see how you teach before they commit, and it does a lot of the work in converting a visitor into a subscriber.
• No background music on the videos. Copyright, not taste.
• At least two new classes a month once you're live, so subscribers always have something fresh and it stays fair on them.

What you'll need

• Your instructing qualification, plus REPs or CIMSPA membership if you have it.
• Public liability and professional indemnity insurance to £1m, kept in date.
• Three classes filmed in landscape and ready before your profile goes live.
• It's an adults-only platform, so there's no DBS check to sort.

How it works

1. You apply and tell us about yourself and your teaching.
2. We read every application properly, a real person rather than a bot. It's usually a quick conversation.
3. Once you're accepted, you build your profile, set up payouts with Stripe (we walk you through it) and upload classes at your own pace.
4. You go live when you're ready and have three classes up.

The rest of the detail

The instructor agreement covers everything else: how pricing changes work, insurance renewals, leaving, and so on. You'll see it in full before you commit to anything.
