Coaches what do you charge for private lessons?

[amberdezi]

and what price range do you think is appropriate, based on coaching experience? do you offer both a half hour or an hour price, and you get a little bit better price for the hour? i am just curious because i'm at a really new (a little over a year old) gym and it's pretty small in comparison to some of the other gyms i've worked at, but i hadn't done privates until this gym, so i'm not sure on the prices and if most coaches offer an hour OR a half hour, or choose from either? thanks!

Our club charges 40$/hour. I don't think we offer half hour privates... The coach is paid more (20 or 25$/hour) when it's a private compared to the usual salary.

Ours is $60/hr or $40 for half an hour, our kids are in the gym alot so I rarely if ever do them. Only if the occasional kid comes to me and asks.

Our I guess is super cheap! 1/2 hour is $20, full hour is $35. Doesn't matter which coach, but I do know your own coach gets first dibs if you want a private and if he/she can't do it you can ask any of the other coaches. I do know for a few kids they have done 45 min. privates, not sure what they charge for those I would guess $30.

so are you saying at your gym, the full price doesn't go to the coach? i don't know how it is at other gyms, but our gym has me charge super cheap :/ , but it goes all to me via cash or personal check in my name. so maybe i shouldn't feel bad?

Ours goes all to the coach, but at many gyms the gym gets a percentage.

The coach gets most of it. I think they get like 20 out of the 35 for the hour. The owner figures she has to light/heat/cool the building while the private is going on usually before classes begin. Plus $20 an hour isn't too shabby! I have my own feeling on privates for kids but our otherwise min. wage coaches make bank off them.

We charge $50 for an hour and $30 for a half. Coaches get paid $25 an hour for them.

My thought is we provide the facility,equipment, the lighting heating/cooling. We also pay the credit card transaction fees as well as the payroll taxes/insurance. There are a lot of costs associated with running a business and everything has to profitable.

I work in a rec/city gym and we charge $30 for a half hour and $45 for a full hour. The coaches get paid 70% but they are also allowed to change the price if they would like
