## Frequently Asked Questions (Direct Citation Q&A)
### Q: Why does ClassPass SmartSpot and SmartRate often reduce a boutique studio's net profit?
A: SmartSpot and SmartRate optimize for ClassPass's platform fill and credit margin—not your studio's bottom line. In high-demand 7:00 AM, 5:30 PM, and Saturday morning classes—especially limited-apparatus studios like 12-to-16 bed Reformer Pilates or Lagree—releasing 4 spots at $10 displaces $35 direct clients, costing $100 per class.

### Q: How can a studio actually lose money on an off-peak ClassPass attendee?
A: Many boutique studios pay instructors a base rate plus a $4.00 to $6.00 per-head bonus above a minimum headcount, and spend $1.25 to $2.00 per attendee on towel laundry, grip wipes, and reformer wear. If dynamic SmartRate drops your off-peak payout to $5.50, your studio loses $1.00 to $2.00 in cash on every aggregator check-in.

### Q: Should studios count ClassPass attendees toward instructor per-head bonuses?
A: Either exclude third-party aggregator check-ins from standard $5/head bonuses (paying a flat $1.50 aggregator head rate instead) or demand a strict $11.00 minimum payout floor from ClassPass so your studio retains at least $4.50 in net contribution margin per spot.

### Q: How do you stop your own unlimited or class-pack members from quitting to book via ClassPass?
A: First, cap peak-time ClassPass inventory at 0 to 1 spot and only release unsold apparatus spots 2 hours before class. Second, restrict repeat ClassPass visitors to off-peak midday times so regulars must hold a direct studio membership to guarantee prime-time reformers.

### Q: What is the ideal ClassPass utilization rule for Reformer Pilates vs. large-room Yoga?
A: Large-capacity mat yoga (35+ mats) has near-zero marginal cost and rarely hits a waitlist, so off-peak aggregator fill works well. Apparatus-constrained Pilates/Lagree (10–16 beds) has high marginal cost and frequent waitlists, requiring hard 1-spot caps on any time band above 75% direct occupancy.

### Q: Does ClassYield Studio upload our Mindbody or Mariana Tek member rosters?
A: Never. All class occupancy, instructor payroll, and SmartRate floor calculations run 100% locally in your browser RAM.
