You still benefit from being part of a premium network. Use the Yofima Seal, UpUp tools, product & service discounts, and educational resources to grow your private client base — while remaining eligible for future client referrals.

Yes! You have full control over your pricing for private clients. Yofima only standardizes the rate for its own referrals at $150/hour.

Yofima clients are typically referred through concierge physicians and high-end wellness networks. They are committed, results-driven, and value personalized care and professionalism.
Can I promote my Yofima membership on my website or social media?
Yes! Once approved, you can proudly display your Yofima Seal and mention your membership to boost your professional credibility.
Is Yofima only for trainers in big cities?
While we focus on major metro areas (e.g., LA, San Francisco, Miami, NY), professionals in smaller markets may still apply. The Alliance tools, credibility, and platform value extend beyond referrals.
What if I work for a gym or studio? Can I still join?
Yes, as long as your gym or employer allows you to accept private clients or side work. Many trainers use Yofima to build their independent brand alongside their existing work.
How are clients matched with trainers?
Client referrals are matched based on location, specialty, availability, and professional fit. We only refer clients to trainers we feel are aligned with their needs and expectations.
Can I pause or cancel my membership?
Yes. You can cancel or pause your membership at any time. There are no long-term commitments or cancellation penalties.
Will I be listed on the Yofima website?

What’s the difference between Yofima and other platforms?
Yofima is selective, premium, and built for professionals serving high-end clientele. Unlike marketplaces that take large commissions or flood trainers with low-paying leads, Yofima emphasizes credibility, tools, and growth — not just bookings.
