Teach more classes, across studios, on your terms.

Substee matches freelance fitness and dance instructors with studios that need a substitute. Tell us what you teach, where and when, and get notified when a class that fits you opens up.

Free for instructors. We are welcoming our first instructors in Amsterdam now.

Why Substee

Only the requests that fit you

No more endless group-chat messages for classes you cannot take. Your profile decides what reaches you.

Matched to what you teach

Pick your styles, from yoga and HIIT to salsa, heels and hip-hop. You only hear about classes you actually teach.

Within your travel distance

Set how far you are willing to travel from home. Requests outside your radius stay out of your way.

Around your availability

Tell us the days and hours you are free, and your minimum fee per class. We use them to rank what you see.

Notified the moment it opens

Get matching requests in the app and by email, and choose which notifications you want.

Accept in one tap

See the class, the studio, the fee and the distance. If it suits you, accept, and the class is yours.

Work with many studios

Stay independent. Cover classes at different studios without being tied to any one of them.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Substee free for instructors?

Yes. Creating your profile and receiving requests is free.

Which classes can I sign up for?

Group fitness (yoga, pilates, HIIT, spinning, strength and more) and dance (salsa, bachata, kizomba, hip-hop, heels, afro, pole, ballet and more). Pick everything you teach.

Do I need to be registered at the KVK?

No, you can join either way. Studios usually book freelance (ZZP) instructors, so we ask whether you are registered, are registering, or are not registered yet.

How do I receive requests?

When a studio posts a class that matches your styles, travel distance, minimum fee and availability, you get a notification in the app and by email.

How do I get paid?

Every request shows the fee the studio offers. During our launch, payment is arranged between you and the studio. Built-in payments are on our roadmap.

Where does Substee work?

We are starting in Amsterdam and the surrounding area.
