How Can I Help?

This Program was created for Pilates Studio Owners, By a Pilates Studio Owner. Sofie spent years building her studio up through a hard work ethic, rock solid core values and hundreds of hours of Team training… the result, her studio exploded. Sharing the first hand experiences and lessons she has learned along the way here is how she can help your business. 

Make more money

If the word SALES makes you turn the other way, then we need to have a chat. Selling is serving. If you don’t like selling and think it is cringeworthy/heartless/icky then it means you don’t like helping people (which of course you do as it is the reason you got into pilates in the first place). You can’t help people unless you run your studio at a profit. 

  • Gross Monthly Profit Spreadsheet Template so you know your profit margins. Reduce overheads where possible and remember not to focus on the revenue you make, but it is what you take home that matters. Understanding Profit & Loss. 

  • Get it right, pricing & billing cycles. The breakdown of packs vs memberships and why to NEVER offer unlimited memberships as a boutique studio. How to set up recurring bookings every 7 / 14 / 28 days. 

  • Business model review. Most pilates studios are stuck in a broken business model, stuck in the cycle of delivering more for less. Running a business is expensive and even if you are running a studio where your main times are packed, you will still barely get by. Physical space, what is max capacity REALLY.

  • Why and how to raise your prices. Step by step from why you need to get your Trainers onboard first and THEN how to tell your clients.

Protocols so your studio can run without you

  • Admin guide, how to handle late cancellations, no shows, pack extensions / pauses and general enquiries.

  • Front desk training. Make sure every single one of your employees knows your sale system (pack options and can have an educated conversation so that the client can make an intelligent and informed decision). Wherever possible, someone manning the front desk. The front desk is where sales and client retention are made! 

  • Studio open & close procedures. Music / Fans / Aircon protocols.

  • Employee Paperwork. New Trainer orientation checklist. Casual / Part Time / Full Time employee contract templates. 12 month review. 

Get clear on your brand values

Gain Control Over Your Time
