What this video covers
This is a short, practical walkthrough of how to measure what each trainer on your team contributes — a key operations metric once you've grown beyond working solo. It builds on the ideas in the KPIs every owner should track and how to grow from solo trainer to training company.
When you have more than one trainer, a single revenue total hides who is driving it. This video shows how to attribute revenue to each trainer, read it alongside their hours and utilization so the comparison is fair, and use the result to make better scheduling, coaching, and pay decisions.

Frequently asked questions
How long is this video?
It's a short overview that explains how to attribute and read revenue per trainer quickly, with links to the deeper KPI and capacity resources.
Why not just compare raw revenue per trainer?
Because raw revenue ignores how many hours each trainer worked and how full their calendar is. Reading it alongside hours and utilization makes the comparison fair.
Is this useful for a solo trainer?
It's most valuable once you've grown to more than one trainer. Solo trainers should focus on overall revenue per hour and utilization instead.
