Is Pilates blowing up for no good reason—or is this your golden chance to build in the Pilates boom?

Because here’s the truth: Whether your studio’s tucked away in the suburbs or you’re already running multiple locations, this new wave of mindful, community-focused training is transforming the fitness industry, and there’s a savvy way to capitalise on it.

In this episode, we’re tackling the rise of Pilates, the pitfalls of cheap intros, and how clever studio owners are leveraging structure, systems and collaboration to thrive (without losing their sanity).

Here’s what we’re covering:

-The truth about Pilates: Just trending … or here to stay?

-How studios are cashing in on #1 search demand without racing to the bottom

-Why “cheap, shallow nets” attract the wrong crowd (and tank your revenue)

-How to turn community vibes into real, long-term profits

-The role of mentorship, and why it’s vital if you want to expand

-Scaling up without chaos: Key systems, roles and delegation

-The family factor: Finding real freedom to be with those who matter

-Why “playing nice” with ClassPass can backfire—and how to negotiate differently

-How to create membership offers that outperform class packs

… and a whole lot more
