Use the spare hours in your week to take on the clients you've been turning away.
Book a room by the hour, for exactly the time you need, in hours you add around the work you already do. No lease, no minimum block, and if nobody books, no fee at all.
Example figures. You set your own price and class size.
Are there five people who'd come if you ran a class on Tuesday?
That's the only factor that matters here. Not how many years you've taught - whether you can fill a room.
Most instructors who use Trimio start by adding a few hours around the work they already have: a session for clients who've asked, a time slot your usual studio can't give you. Full independence can come later, if you want it.
At this room rate and price, you'd need three clients to break even. The app does this sum for every Offering, and reruns it as you change your price, your class size or the room.
Three steps, in the order the app takes you
Start your Offering
Describe what you want to run: the service type, a name and description, your price per client, your class size and how long the session is. Trimio adds set-up and wrap-up time on either side, which you book and pay for. Clients only ever see the session.
Say when you can teach, then find a room that fits
Still inside the same Offering. You set your days and times, then the map opens where you are. A room is a match on three things: the facility suits the service you run, its capacity fits your class size, and its hourly rate still lets your session break even. You submit, you and the owner talk it through privately in the app, and the owner gives the yes.
Your clients book and pay in the app
Their booking locks the hour in. You're paid after the session, usually within two business days.
If nobody books, you pay nothing
When a session runs, you pay the host's hourly rate and one service fee, made up of 13% of the session's revenue and $1.00. It covers every payment in and out, including your payout.
If what clients pay doesn't cover the room and the fee, you pay the difference: the Hosting Shortfall Fee, charged to your card. The app shows your break-even before you commit, so it's never a surprise.
No subscription, no joining fee, no lock-in.
Messaging happens inside the app, right beside the booking
Getting your request approved can be a conversation, not just a form. You can talk to the space owner privately in the app before either of you commits, and keep talking there afterwards.
The same thread carries the practical things a room hire usually loses: how you get in on the day, what is already in the room, which door to use. Nothing sits in a phone that changed number or an email thread nobody can find.
Your clients message you in the same place, before and after a session, alongside the booking it belongs to.
Example messages. Every thread sits with the booking it belongs to.
Questions instructors ask first
All questionsCan I book a room?
No. Only clients book. You create an Offering over a host's available hours, and a client's booking is what locks the time in.
How do I get approved by a host?
You find their hosting inside your Offering, then submit it. You chat with the owner privately in the app first, and they decide who teaches in their space.
What if my session doesn't cover the room?
If what clients pay doesn't cover the hosting fee and the service fee, you pay the difference. It's called the Hosting Shortfall Fee and it's charged to the card you keep on file. The app shows your break-even before you commit, so you can see it coming.
What if I need to cancel?
Whoever cancels covers the payment costs on those bookings. When you press cancel, the app shows you the exact fee before you confirm, and it's charged to the card you keep on file. Inside 24 hours it's a late cancellation, and the host is still paid.
Cancelling also withdraws your availability for that session, so clients can't book it again.
What if no space near me is listed yet?
Open the app and look first: it shows the spaces taking bookings near you. If it's quiet where you teach, you don't have to wait. Most instructors start with a studio they already know and ask them to list the hours that sit empty, which takes the owner a few minutes. Get started in your area: it helps us decide where to run our next webinar for space owners.
Nothing listed where you teach?
Start in the app: it shows the spaces taking bookings near you. If it's quiet, the quickest way in is a studio you already know. Ask them to open the hours that sit empty, and tell us where you are so we know where to focus next.

Point them to how it works for owners. Rooms have to be listed before anyone can teach in them.
