It is a much known factor in the current industry that the pay gap between “group exercise instructor” and “wellbeing coach” is rapidly increasing. Yoga coaches attending additional training and can be paid nearly 40% more.
Well, who has ever really thought about Aqua coaches. From my own experience I’ve found myself being offered as little as £15 for an Aqua Fitness session, where as a ZUMBA Instructor working for the same time in the studio upstairs was receiving £18-£20?
The current climate in a number of fitness facilities is becoming increasingly worrying, facilities continuously failing to see the value in their freelance workforce which for most form the backbone of their business and client retention. Aqua instructors are no exception to this.
The sweeping preconception of Aqua Fitness comes down to “older people” and “bobbing around”. Wrong. Well, almost wrong. Water based classes are unique, suitable for everyone to participate in due to the properties of water.
