Hey Coaches,

How do private lessons work at your club? Booked through the office? Directly through coaches? How are you paid for them? Do you pay the club a use fee?

What do you love/hate about lessons?
 
At our club, you would first talk to their coach and then go from there. Normally the gym takes a percentage of the private cost as you are using their facilities etc. I think it's 20% at our gym.
 
I’m not a coach, but at our gym privates are booked through the coach, but billed through the gym with the gym taking 50% (which seems like a lot to me).
 
I'm lucky and our gym lets us schedule lessons directly with the parents - we set our rate and take the full amount with no cut to the gym. My last gym took ~30% and we'd have to submit a google form to request a day/time and equipment to be used, like "bars area" or "trampoline".
 
My gym has a rate of $90/hr for privates. Coach gets 60 dollars, so 2/3 of the profit, other 1/3 goes to the gym to cover expenses for using gym space.
 
Also not a coach - I'm a parent and my daughter has done privates with a few coaches at her gym. I always make arrangements directly with the coach, and pay him or her directly via venmo, so I don't think the gym gets a cut. Each coach can set their own rate (I've paid anywhere between $60 and $80 per hour). They just have to make sure the gym is available, and any teams practicing at that time have priority for using the equipment.
