Welcome to another episode of TRIMIO UNLOCKED! Join host Bruce Hildebrand, a 25-year veteran in the Pilates industry and the driving force behind Trimio, as he dives deep into a critical topic for Pilates professionals: breaking free from the limitations of traditional studio pay structures.

In this episode, Bruce unpacks the recent article published on trimio.app, "Breaking Free from the Studio Pay Cap: How Trimio Gives Instructors Full Earning Control," offering practical insights and explaining how Trimio empowers instructors and studio owners to build more sustainable and profitable careers.

Episode Highlights:

• The Reality of the Studio Pay Cap: Bruce discusses how most Pilates instructors start in studio settings where pay structures are often rigid.
• Instructors are typically paid a fixed hourly rate or set amount per session.
• This fixed model often doesn't reflect your experience, client retention, or class size, prioritizing consistency for the studio but limiting your earning potential.
• The Frustrating Income Ceiling: Learn why this structure creates a frustrating income ceiling.
• Even with full classes, instructors may see no financial benefit.
• Your valuable additional qualifications, years of experience, and loyal client followings often go unrewarded in these environments.
• Bruce highlights the critical question this raises: how can I earn what I’m truly worth?.
• Limitations of Percentage-Based Pay: Even with percentage models, the instructor's share is commonly only 30% to 50% of the client's payment. This can feel disheartening, especially when instructors are often responsible for driving their own attendance.
• Lack of Pricing Control: Studios typically control pricing, meaning instructors can't adjust rates for demand, cost of living, or their own growth. This lack of flexibility reinforces a cycle where effort and expertise aren't proportionately rewarded.
• The Unsustainable Solution: Teach More: The traditional path to higher income often means simply teaching more classes. Bruce explains how this leads to burnout, inconsistent quality, and poor work-life balance – an unsustainable solution for thriving professionals.
• Trimio Shifts the Power Back to Instructors: Discover how Trimio challenges this outdated model.
• Trimio gives instructors full control over their earnings.
• You set your own session rates.
• You decide what your time, skills, and service are worth.
• There are no studio-imposed limits, fixed wages, or third-party restrictions on pricing.
