Estimates suggest startup costs typically around $300 to $1,500, depending on equipment such as bands and light weights, your camera and audio setup, and the booking and payment tools you choose.

Monthly revenue is typically estimated at around $200 to $2,000, depending on how many members join, how often you run live sessions, and whether you offer recordings. The estimate assumes at least about 4 hours a week.

Check that your commercial general liability insurance covers online instruction, use a health waiver with clear safety guidance since you cannot supervise in person, check music licensing rules for live-streamed or recorded classes, and ask the CRA about GST/HST once you pass the small supplier threshold.
