Seattle Forrest has it right. I have a hard time understanding all but the extremely serious competitive cyclists spending time "riding" indoors when a hill walk, run or ski is available. (of course sometimes they aren't available or practical, I get that).
Being outside and seeing countryside is a large part of why I cycle. Being healthy is also part of it, but "training" is not.
My unsolicited rant being finished, I'm not sure exactly what the OP is describing, but I feel that $10-15/hour for a group lesson or group supervised training by a qualified instructor is absolutely fair. The instructor/coach should gross at least $50/hour, imho for just his/her time, and even more more if a facility and/or expensive equipment is also provided.
