Teaching fitness is not always a lucrative job, but if you can teach a good zumba class
and attract a following you can do better than most other types of fitness instructors.
Maybe you are thinking of becoming a zumba instructor but before you invest in the
zumba training workshop you want to make sure your investment will pay off. There are
ways of making good money teaching zumba. Fortunately, zumba has become one of the
most popular dance-fitness programs around and as a result there is a great demand for
it. Even in areas where it is still unknown, a new instructor can present a demo to a facility
or a group of interested people and the demand will be created.

The salary you make will depend on the facility you teach at and the payment terms. Here
are some average salaries of zumba instructors:
  • health clubs pay from $15 to $25 per hour. Pay rates vary from region to region but
    this is about the average.
  • community centers and recreation centers may pay on a 70-30 split. The instructor
    gets 70% of the fees taken in.
  • corporate classes are usually private classes taught onsite for the employees of a
    company. Pay can either be a flat fee from $50 to $100 or $5 to $10 per person
    paid to the instructor.
  • private parties can earn you a flat fee of $100-$150 for an hour of your time.
Along with teaching classes, zumba instructors who are part of the zumba instructor
network (there is a membership fee for this) can buy zumba clothing wholesale to resell
to their students and to the general public. This is another way a zumba instructor can
generate some extra income.

Zumba instructors are known for giving back and often do fundraisers for good causes
such as raising money for breast cancer charities. As you can see being a zumba
instructor can be a profitable, fulfilling and an exciting job opportunity.  If you love
teaching zumba you will make money at it.
Some zumba instructors have even landed jobs on cruise ships, and some resorts such
as Club Med are now hiring instructors to teach for them. Other instructors may teach at
a Carribbean resort for a week in exchange for room and board.

Some instructors love teaching zumba so much that they quit their day jobs and do it
full-time!  Some open their own studios and some travel to different locations in their
locality and teach 2 or 3 classes a day. However, teaching too many classes can be a
strain on your body and so you really have to be careful of taking on too much.
