How to Monetize Outside Your Fitness Classroom

Written By: Alicia Raeburn

Clients sign up for fitness classes. They’re happy to pay that one-time or recurring fee. But what about after class is done? How will you make money? And how will your clients continue to improve their fitness regime when they’re off-screen?

If you only offer classes, your income is directly tied to you — and your clients — showing up day after day for every class. Whether you’re sick, your kids have a day off, or you’re just plain busy, you’re still relying on those classes to sustain you. It might pay the bills, but it can be exhausting for instructors, and it’s not the best business model to hit those long-term goals.
​
Our immersive digital fitness software was created to provide instructors with the resources and tools needed to manage and monetize fitness classes. If you offer fitness classes, there are more ways to monetize your content than just the live class itself. Use our platform to generate passive income from pre-recorded videos, AI-built out assessments, or recording a live class for your client to re-use.

Sell Pre-recorded On-Demand Virtual Fitness Classes

Fitness instructors who want to make more money, need to get rid of their extra workload, or are looking for ways to increase revenue without working long hours should get very comfortable with video. 
​
Since you can create pre-recorded classes and sell them to clients, you can exchange the physically exhausting aspect of fitness training for more passive income. This is a relatively easy process that can translate into more profits while you focus your time on growing, marketing, and expanding your business even further. 

Use Artificial Intelligence for Fitness Training Plans & Assessments

How do you keep your clients motivated to keep exercising? By creating custom-built assessments they can do at home. 
Your client is a busy professional. You’re their coach. Make it quick and easy for them to get a fitness assessment that will keep them coming back for more without all the work of analyzing and reviewing all their workouts. Our motion tracking software records, reviews, and builds out custom plans for your clients based on how they are moving in classes.
​
MotivateU’s assessment is completely objective. From the classroom to the gym, people often have differing opinions on what is considered A+ work or A+ form. For clients, this means their physical fitness assessments vary from trainer to trainer. By using AI software, clients will get a full data-backed assessment of their conditioning that they can document their progress against, even when switching to a different trainer, and gym owners can objectively track the progress of both clients and the trainers who coach them.
​
Once it gathers the necessary data, you can either review it yourself to build out a training plan, sell the gathered info as a personal assessment review, or use it to guide a 1-on-1 personal training relationship.

Record Live Classes for Clients

Record live virtual and in-person fitness classes that you can sell as complete online training programs to clients where they can watch over and over again. Often, clients who enjoy a certain class or workout want the ability to repeat it. 

With MotivateU, you can take the same classes you’ve been teaching and turn them into their own, self-generating revenue stream. Simply record the most useful exercises for your clients — or the entire class — and repurpose them as training videos.  

No matter what you choose, you need more than a physical or virtual classroom to truly monetize your fitness business. Your income shouldn’t stop at the end of class. We’ll help you grow your fitness brand into a self-sustaining and profitable business.
