Eight-week founding cohort · six studios

Your studio should not rely on you to remember everything.

You teach, manage the team and look after members. Then, between classes, you try to work out why leads went quiet or members stopped coming. Merivo helps you choose what to fix first—and keep the new way working.

90-second application. No payment. Keep your booking software.

Why Felix

Built by someone still doing the work.

Each week, Felix works on lead follow-up, member care, pricing, team standards and timetables across three Rise Reformer Pilates studios. Merivo comes from that work.

Every studio is different. Rise shows where the method came from, not what your results will be.

How it works

Fix the right problem first.

A quiet class, a slow reply to a lead and a member who stops coming can all feel urgent. We help you choose what matters most now.

  1. 01

    See where people stop

    Use the booking, attendance and membership numbers you already have. Find where leads stop booking or members stop attending.

  2. 02

    Make one clear change

    Write the reply, member check-in, offer or weekly task. Give it to a named person.

  3. 03

    Check it next week

    Look at the numbers again. Keep what worked. Change what did not.

The founding cohort

Eight weeks. One problem at a time.

You leave each Thursday knowing what to do next, who will do it and what number to check.

Who it is for

For owners running the studio day to day.

Good fit

  • Your Pilates, yoga, barre, strength or similar boutique studio is open.
  • Most of the important decisions still come back to you.
  • You can bring the numbers you have and make one change each week.

Not this cohort

  • Your studio has not opened yet, or you run a general gym.
  • You compete directly with another studio already in the group.
  • You want new booking software or a course to watch in your own time.

Straight answers

What you may want to know.

What will we work on?

Your numbers, lead replies, sales conversations, first 90 days, member attendance, timetable and team standards. We choose the work from what is happening in your studio.

Is this another course?

No. There is no library to work through alone. We meet live, choose one change for your studio and check what happened the next week.

Do I need new booking software?

No. We use the useful information in the system you already have.

How much time will this take?

The live session lasts 90 minutes each Thursday. Set aside another 60–90 minutes during the week to make the change. If you miss a session, you can watch the private recording.

What happens after I apply?

We reply within two working days. If the group looks right for you, we invite you to a 30-minute call. Applying does not commit you or ask for payment.

What if I change my mind?

You pay $1,995 USD plus applicable taxes after the call and agreement. You can get a full refund until 10 September 2026. If fewer than four suitable studios join, you can move to a later group or get a full refund.
