If you teach your own classes and need a room, some studios on MoveMentors rent out their space. Find them at /studios?rentable=1, open a studio's page and use Rent this space to send a request. The studio sets the fee (per session or per hour), and you follow your requests and rentals on /mentor/rentals.
Booking a slot is not available yet
You can find rentable studios, send requests and get approved. Booking and paying for a slot in the room from the studio's calendar doesn't work yet. Once a studio approves you, agree your dates and payment with them directly for now.
Find a studio
- Go to /studios?rentable=1 to see studios with at least one room you can request or rent.
- On a studio's page, the Rent this space section lists each room with its fee, per session or per hour, and whether it says Request to rent or Open to verified mentors.
Send a request
Sign in with your teacher account
Only teacher (mentor) accounts can rent space.
Click Rent this space on the room you want
The request form shows the studio's house rules. Read them before you send.
Add a message and send
Tell the studio what you teach, how many people you expect and when you would like the room. Then click Send request.
The studio gets an email about your request, and the button on their page changes to Request pending for you.
Some studios ask for a minimum verification level: a verified email, an approved certification or a verified ID. If your profile doesn't meet it, you see a message when you send the request. Verifying your ID with Stripe is part of the Pro and Premium teacher plans; see teacher plans.
Follow your requests and rentals
My rentals at /mentor/rentals lists:
- Upcoming rentals, with a Cancel rental button on paid rentals.
- Pending requests waiting for the studio's answer.
- Approved studios, with a link to their calendar.
- Past requests and rentals, including any note from the studio.
When the studio answers, you get an email. Once approved, the studio also appears on your Studios page (/mentor/studios) as a studio you teach at.
Fees, payments and cancelling
- The studio sets the rental fee, charged per session or per hour (rounded up to whole hours) and paid by card to the studio's Stripe account. MoveMentors takes no commission on rental fees.
- Your own students pay you for your classes, into your own account, as usual.
- If the studio cancels a paid rental, you get a full refund. If you cancel, your refund follows the studio's cancellation policy: Flexible (full refund up to 24 hours before), Moderate (full refund up to 48 hours before, then 50% until 24 hours before) or Strict (full refund up to 7 days before, then 50% until 24 hours before). There is no refund inside 24 hours.
Common questions
Do I need a paid plan to rent space? No. Any teacher account can send requests. Some studios only accept teachers with a verified ID, which needs Pro or Premium.
Can I withdraw a request? Not yet. If you change your mind, let the studio know.
What is the difference between renting and teaching as an employee? As a renter you run your own classes and your students pay you. As an employee, the studio runs the classes, collects the payments and pays you itself. Studios invite employees from their instructor roster.
