02HOW WE HIRE · WHAT WE PAY FOR
WAGES ABOVE MARKET, NO TIPS
Floor coach base wages are 30 — 40% above market in every city. We don't take tips off the floor; coaches keep 100% of any 1:1 fees.
STABLE SCHEDULES
Coaching schedules are posted four weeks out. We don't run on-call shifts. Once posted, they don't change unless you ask us to.
PROGRAMMING TIME PAID
1:1 coaches get 4 paid hours/week to write programs. Floor coaches get 2 hours/week for class prep. We don't pretend that's free labor.
