Introduction

Whether you teach Spin, Pilates, Yoga, or Boxercise, your Fitgig profile is your storefront — and your first impression. Think of it like Tinder for studios: if your profile doesn’t pop, they’re swiping right past you.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to craft a high-converting instructor profile that gets you booked more often, in more cities, and at better rates.

Why Your Profile Matters More Than You Think

Studios scroll through dozens of instructor profiles when they post a gig. A weak profile = a missed opportunity. But a standout one?

• 💥
  You get booked faster
• 💥
  Studios come to you
• 💥
  You can raise your rates
• 💥
  You build trust before stepping in the room

Let’s break down exactly how to level up your Fitgig presence.

1. Start With a Killer Bio (No Fluff, All Punch)

Your bio is not a memoir. It’s a pitch — fast, friendly, and focused. Use this 3-part formula:

1. Who you are

   I’m a certified Reformer Pilates instructor based in Berlin, with 4+ years of experience in group and private classes.

2. What makes you special

   Known for high-energy, technically precise classes that challenge and empower.

3. What formats and locations you’re available for

   Available for short-term guest spots or subbing gigs across Europe, especially in Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and Barcelona.

🎯 Bonus Tip: Add emojis to make key info pop.

2. Upload Photos That Actually Sell You

Your profile image is your digital handshake — don’t use a blurry selfie or cropped group photo.

🔥 What works:

• A high-res, smiling headshot in activewear (studio-lit if possible)
• 1–2 action shots of you leading a class (Spin bike, yoga mat, or boxing gloves — show the vibe)
• A candid “instructor energy” shot — mid-demo, correcting form, or cueing with confidence

🎯 Pro Tip: Natural light > filters. Look like you belong on the studio floor, not an influencer feed.

3. Pick the Right Formats (and Don’t Overload)

Studios want instructors who specialize — not someone who checks every box. Pick 2–4 formats you actually teach well.

✅ Good: Spin | Pilates | Strength
❌ Meh: Spin | Barre | HIIT | Zumba | Kids Yoga | Pre-natal | Jazzercise | Capoeira

🎯 Pro Tip: Use the “About Your Teaching Style” section to share how your classes feel — intense? meditative? technique-heavy? hype?

4. Show Verified Experience

The more social proof, the better. Add:

• Notable studios you've worked with
• Years of experience
• Certifications (Reformer, RYT-200, etc.)
• Languages you teach in
• Locations you’ve taught in before

🎯 Pro Tip: Add a line like:

Previously taught at Barry’s Bootcamp Copenhagen and Yogaroom Brussels.

5. Reviews = Your Secret Weapon

No one books a profile with zero social proof.

🎯 Ask your previous studios or clients to leave you a review. Even 2–3 great ones boost conversion significantly.

Highlight:

• Energy
• Professionalism
• Cueing quality
• Class results

6. Add Your Availability (and Keep It Fresh)

If studios don’t know when you’re available, they can’t book you. Always update:

• ✅ Touring-ready or not
• 📆 Open weekends? Evenings?
• 🛫 Cities you’re traveling to soon

🎯 Pro Tip: Add specific months and cities:

Available in Lisbon June–July, and open to guest spots in Berlin for September.

7. Set a Clear Rate (But Be Flexible)

Be transparent about your guest spot or class rate — and open to studio offers.

If you're not sure what to charge, start with Fitgig’s recommended rates by city. Once you get a few gigs and reviews, you can raise your price.
