How SculptClub's Studio Rental Model Works for Trainers

As a personal trainer in Amsterdam, you have a choice: invest tens of thousands of euros in your own studio, work from a commercial gym where you pay commission, or rent a professional space at the moments you need it. SculptClub offers that third option — and it works differently from what you’re used to.

In this article, we explain exactly how our studio rental model works, what it costs and who it’s designed for.

The problem for trainers

Most personal trainers in Amsterdam face the same dilemma. You want a professional space to receive your clients, but your own studio is too expensive. Rent in the centre starts at 1,500 euros per month — and that’s before equipment, insurance or maintenance costs.

The alternative? Working from a commercial gym that takes 30-50% commission on every session. Or visiting clients at home and losing half your day to travel time. Neither is ideal.

How the discount pack system works

SculptClub works with a simple discount pack system. You get a discount pack upfront, and each session represents one hour of studio time. You book the studio when you have a client — no fixed days, no minimum usage per week.

The system is designed for flexibility. Busy week with 20 sessions? Book 20 hours. Quiet week? Book nothing. You only pay for what you use.

Pricing and tiers

There are three packages, tailored to different usage levels:

• Starter: for trainers just starting out or with a few clients per week. Ideal for testing whether the model works for you.
• Routine: for trainers with a regular client base who use the studio multiple times per week. Lower cost per session.
• Volume: for full-time trainers who use the studio as their home base. The lowest price per session — from 12 euros per session.

Full details on packages and pricing are on our studio rental page.

0% commission — you keep everything

This is the core difference from other models. SculptClub takes no percentage of your session rate. You pay a fixed price for the space, and what you charge your client is 100% yours. No commission, no revenue share, no hidden fees.

Say you charge 80 euros per session and your studio cost is 15 euros per hour. You keep 65 euros — compare that to a gym that takes 40% commission, where you’d only keep 48 euros. Over a year, that difference can be thousands of euros.

What’s included?

When you book the studio, you get access to the full space including all equipment. That means:

• Strength: racks, dumbbells, barbells, cable machines, kettlebells
• Cardio: rower, assault bike, ski-erg
• Mobility: bands, foam rollers, yoga mats
• Climate control, music, clean towels
• WiFi for showing exercise videos or programs to clients

You don’t need to bring anything except your expertise and your client.

Flexible booking

Booking is done through our online system. You see availability in real-time and can reserve until shortly before your session. Cancellation is free within the stated window.

The studio is available from early morning to late evening, 7 days a week. Whether you want a morning session at 7:00 or a late session at 21:00 — there’s room.

Who is this model for?

The SculptClub model is suitable for:

• Freelance personal trainers looking for a professional location
• Trainers who want to build their own brand without large investments
• Physiotherapists or movement coaches who offer supplementary PT
• Trainers working from home who want a better experience for their clients
