Payouts explained
How earnings become money in the bank — the balance buckets, plus standard and instant payouts.
Updated August 27, 2026
A payout moves your cleared earnings to your bank. Before money can be paid out, it passes through three balance buckets.
The three balances#
| Balance | Meaning |
|---|---|
Future | Earnings from confirmed lessons that haven't happened yet. |
Pending | Money from closed-out lessons that's still settling. |
Available | Cleared funds ready to pay out. |
Closing out a lesson moves it from Future to Pending, then to Available once it clears. See Available, Pending, and Future balances.
Standard vs. instant#
Standard payout
A standard payout has no fee and typically reaches your bank in a few business days.
Instant payout
An instant payout moves funds in minutes for a small fee, shown before you confirm.
Who can pay out#
Both coaches and gyms have balances and request payouts the same way. A connected bank account is required — see Connect your bank account — and payouts stay blocked until identity verification is complete: if you see Verify your identity to receive payouts on your dashboard, finish that short Stripe Identity check first.
Outstanding balance owed with the reason, so the difference in your payout is never a mystery.
