I’m Adi, co-founder of Fitribal. I’ve been practicing Yoga for some time now, and know various members of the community. A common issue that comes up in discussions with instructors is frustrations surrounding disproportionate revenue sharing and constraints on class routines.
A friend and I decided to try to tackle this problem by renting out affordable group class space by the hour. At the moment we are using Santa Monica High School, which has a beautiful fitness room stocked with mats, straps, and blankets. We have been working with the school to reach out to instructors and inform them of the facilities, and help book the space for really low rates.
We have held a handful of classes now and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Instructors have had the ability to teach the class of their choosing during prime-time slots, and take home a larger share of the revenue. Students have gotten a chance to work with their favorite instructors in a beautiful facility and at lower rates.
If the idea appeals to you, then I’d be very interested in discussing it in further detail. Feel free to shoot me an email or give me a ring at (408) 656-5057.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Adi
