Why tipme
for Fitness Trainers?
A whole class pays itself
Twelve people, one QR code on your speaker or kit bag. Everyone settles their own drop-in fee while you're still setting up the circuit.
Wherever you train, you get paid
Park, garage gym, beach, or video call: the QR works on the spot and the payment link covers everything you coach remotely.
Class packs and challenges, one link
Send the link with a ten-class or six-week price and it's paid up front. Big transformations earn a tip on top through the same page.
