Yes — we work exclusively with certified fitness professionals to ensure the highest quality experience for our resort partners and guests.

ADMINISTRATION FEE

Fitness Vacation Exchange charges an administration fee which covers the arrangement of your fitness vacation exchange, correspondence between resorts, finalizing of reservation dates, airport pickup coordination (with host resorts that offer this service), and general instructor support.

​

CHANGE FEE POLICY

• Fitness Vacation Exchange encourages INSTRUCTOR to choose travel dates and locations confidently. If INSTRUCTOR cannot travel or has to change dates, the INSTRUCTOR must contact Fitness Vacation Exchange so another instructor can be appointed.

• In the event that the INSTRUCTOR cancels the reservation within 45 days before the scheduled date of departure for your Fitness Vacation Exchange, no refund will be issued, and cancellation is not permitted. If cancelation occurs outside of the 45 days window from the date of your departure for your confirmed Fitness Vacation Exchange, a $200 Cancellation or Change Fee Policy will apply.

• INSTRUCTOR will incur a USD 200 change fee per week for any changes in resort or travel dates. Only one change will be permitted for each FVE booking.

CHANGES TO TRAVEL COMPANIONS

• Any modification to the listed travel companions associated with this reservation will incur a fee of $75 USD per change. This fee is non-refundable and applies to each request made to amend or substitute a travel companion, including but not limited to name changes and guest replacements. Payment of this fee is required at the time the request is made, and changes will only be processed once the fee has been received.

​

GIFT FUND FEE

Approved FVE instructors are also required to pay into a resort's gift fund. Please note that instructors may be asked to deliver gifts to the host resort for given partners.

• Fitness Vacation Exchange has established a gift fund component as a gesture of appreciation to our participating host resort partners for hosting an FVE instructor at their resort. Each host resort is provided a weekly gift fund when hosting an FVE instructor, this fund may vary per resort and is notated within by clicking on the resort's tab on the FVE website. Each resort can utilize its collected gift funds for the purchase of items the resort may need to improve its guest experience.

• Gift items are resort-specific. At times, the gift items which the host resort has requested are difficult to find, or too expensive to purchase in the resort's home country. All gifts received are greatly appreciated by the host resort.

• Fitness Vacation Exchange will purchase all gifts requested by the host resort and ship them to the residence of the traveling instructor before their departure. Traveling instructors will receive information from FVE that specifies what gift items are being shipped to their residences. Instructors can open the package(s) shipped to their residence.

Please email Reservations@FitnessVacationExchange.com for any questions regarding the gift fund fee.

It is important to note that your teaching schedule or class times may change, we require you, the instructor to be flexible with the resort requests and needs. Always confirm your assigned teaching schedule upon your arrival at the resort with the entertainment staff member.
