State
the facts first. An employer wants to know your credentials: What
is your training, experience and style. Are you insured? Be mindful
to keep poetic words to a minimum.
Insurance for Canadians is not mandatory, but it is highly
recommended. Liability insurance is essential for American
instructors. Some employers will insist on it. We have teamed with
Apollo insurance to offer inexpensive liability insurance for
fitness instructors. Click here for more
information.
Students
must first join subs2go with a basic membership. Any member of
subs2go may request to join an online workout class by clicking the
'Join' button for a scheduled class listed on the online classes
page.
Visit the website of your video streaming platform of choice for
information on how to schedule a video meeting. There are many
providers to choose from including Zoom Meetings, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams etc. Most providers offer a

conferencing link, password, date & time when you create an online
class on the subs2go platform.
Instructors
will be able to manage their online classes and students from their
class list. Click on 'My Schedule' from the dash drop down menu to
display a list of your own scheduled online classes. Click on the
'Students' field for a class to view your student list.

Subs2go
does not handle financial transactions at this time. For now we
recommend that payments be made via e-transfer for an online class
or in cash for an in person workout session. Payment instructions
should be communicated via the subs2go messaging system. The
student will pay you directly. After payment is received, change
the their payment status from 'Pending' to 'Paid' on the class
student list. Click the link: 'Send Video Link' to send the student
your login url and password for your online class.
Refunds
are entirely at the discretion of the instructor. We recommend
refunds be given if an instructor is unable to attend a scheduled
class or is late to start by more than 10 minutes.
An
instructor may cancel a scheduled class from their schedule on
their class list. Students registered in the class will be
automatically notified of the cancellation. The instructor will be
responsible to process refunds or reschedule the class.
Messaging
In order to keep your email address
private, please use our messaging system to communicate with
students and employers.
Employers will message you for work
via our messaging system. You will get an email from us indicating
an employment opportunity. Check your messages from your Dashboard
at login to view all messages and respond.
Until we facilitate payments, you and
your students will communicate via subs2go messaging to arrange and
confirm payment details.
