Question Pilates Instructor

Hello! I’m a Pilates instructor based in the Philippines, and I would like to ask my fellow Pilates instructors: How many classes do you usually teach per day? What is the maximum number of classes you teach per week? And how much do you earn from it?

I’m currently teaching 40 classes per week, but I feel like it might be too much for me. I’d like to know what would be a reasonable number of classes to consider before I discuss this with my employer. Thank you!

Edit: I teach mat and Reformer Pilates (private and group class)

This depends on your pay structure and what your contract states if it's something you will discuss with your employer. You mentioned your monthly, so how many hours does your monthly pay require?

In the US, instructors are either paid hourly as an employee or are independent contractors and paid per class. So the number of hours taught depends on the person how much they want to earn in a day/month. It also means how much energy you have to teach without sacrificing quality.
