Coaches earn $35 to $50 per one‑hour session, paid as a flat per‑lesson rate. Rates are set by STXZ, vary by market and demand, and are confirmed in writing before the first lesson. Payout occurs within 24–48 hours after you submit your lesson briefing via PayPal. Coaches who earn $2,000 or more in a year receive a 1099‑NEC. There is no fee to apply and nothing is due up‑front; the $30 annual liability‑coverage fee is recovered from your first lesson payout.
