Trimio Unlocked

Read the article: trimio.app/blog/post/where-instructors-run-their-own-sessions

The season finale. Most instructors picture a borrowed Pilates studio, but the best room depends on the session. This episode covers what studios, clinics, gyms, halls and treatment rooms tend to suit, and how to weigh one room against another.

In this episode:

• Start with the session, not the room
• What each kind of space tends to suit
• How to choose: the break-even, where your clients are, and the owner
• Different times can sit in different rooms

Trimio isn't only for Pilates studios. This episode is for owners of any space with a room that sits empty for part of the week: a simple test for whether your room fits, what studios, clinics, gyms, halls and treatment rooms tend to suit, and what to check before you list.

In this episode:

• The test: clean, safe, empty for part of the week, and usable without disturbing your business
• What each kind of space tends to suit
• Your lease, your insurance, your house rules and access
• Setting a rate that fits the room

Most instructors setting a first price start with what the studio down the road charges. This episode sets out the three numbers that actually decide a session, puts them together into a break-even, and shows which lever moves it most.

In this episode:

• Your price, your class size, and the room for the time you need
• Putting them together: eight, four and three clients at $30 with 90 minutes of room
• Which lever moves the break-even most: price, room time or a different room
• Matching the break-even to your list

The most important decision an owner makes on Trimio is who comes through the door. This episode walks through what arrives when an instructor submits to your room, what the identity checks do and don't tell you, and how to have the conversation before you say yes.

In this episode:

• What arrives: the Offering, coverage and what it would pay you
• What Stripe's identity checks confirm, and what they don't
• What to ask before you approve
• Approving, declining and revoking
• What stays your responsibility

Every Trimio session has an owner, an instructor and clients, and each sees a different part of the money. This episode follows one example from the first booking to the last payout, then covers what happens when a session runs thin or someone cancels.

In this episode:

• Who does what: the owner sets the rate, the instructor sets the session, a client's booking locks the hour in
• Every dollar of a six-client, $30 class in a $60 room: $180 in, $65.60 to the instructor, $77.30 to the owner
• When the money moves
• The Hosting Shortfall Fee, and the break-even
• What happens when someone cancels

Renting a room by the hour used to start with a phone call. This episode follows a made-up instructor, Sam, through the whole process on Trimio: describing the session first, checking the numbers before choosing a room, submitting to the owner, and getting paid.

In this episode:

• Setting up to be paid
• Creating an Offering: session, price, class size and time
• Checking coverage and income before choosing a room: eight clients at $30, 90 minutes at $60 an hour
• Submitting, and the conversation before the owner decides
• Your clients book, and your payout usually lands within two business days

There is a version of going independent that asks you to take all the risk first. This episode is about the other version: keep the work you have, add one session of your own, and see whether it works. It runs the sum for a 60-minute mat class that needs 90 minutes of room.

In this episode:

• Why leave or stay is the wrong choice
• Who the first hour is for
• What one hour costs: six clients and three clients at $30, with 90 minutes of room at $60 an hour
• Nothing is locked in until a client pays
• How to grow it, or stop it

The arithmetic on your quiet hours makes sense, and then the other questions arrive. This episode answers them one at a time: what it means for your team and your clients, why it isn't a second job, and the few things that stay with you, which are worth hearing before you list.

In this episode:

• Opening your quiet hours to your own team first
• Will an outside instructor take my clients?
• Why it isn't a second job: the instructor runs the session and the app handles the money
• Do I need to be there? Supervising your space doesn't mean standing in it
• What stays with you: who you approve, your insurance, your lease, damage and your approval

Put an independent studio's week next to a franchise studio's and the shapes look different. This episode explains why that is not a scorecard, why the quiet hours are the cost of teaching properly, and why the usual volume-studio fixes don't suit an independent one.

In this episode:

• Two business models, two different weeks
• Why the quiet hours are the cost of teaching properly
• Why hiring, discounting and handshake arrangements rarely fit
• How Trimio works for an owner, in the order it happens
• What it costs: one service fee on your own takings, made up of 13% of that revenue and $1.00. On a $60 hour, $51.20 is paid to you. If nobody books, you pay nothing.

Hourly room hire usually runs on finding out afterwards. This episode, for owners and instructors alike, shows what each side sees before anyone commits, works through one example from both sides, and explains why the Hosting Shortfall Fee is the honest half of the break-even number.

In this episode:

• Why finding out afterwards goes wrong so quietly
• What the owner sees: on a $60 rate, a service fee of $8.80 and $51.20 paid to you
• What the instructor sees: the room, the fee, what is theirs, and the break-even
• Why the Hosting Shortfall Fee is shown up front
• The fee: hosts and instructors each pay one service fee on their own takings, made up of 13% of that revenue and $1.00
