I disagree. Let’s get real people. Instructors do a lot outside of class and if you haven’t been paying for it, and you expect more than just the usual make-a-playlist-and-occasionally-encourage-someone-to-go-to-your-class, then you’re a jerk.

ALSO - agree with the sentiments in the last paragraph. Just because the pay might now get split between class and duties outside of class, doesn’t mean that the instructors will get MORE. However, managers and owners must structure their payroll so it’s clear what duties their employees are being compensated for.

Very proud that Resolute Fitness has and always will pay instructors for attending meetings and doing work outside of class.

If you can’t afford to pay your employees for what they do, you’re doing it wrong. Your instructors should be your most valuable asset. Compensate them for it.
