Studio Growth Circle · First group
Build your studio with owners who get it.
I run three Pilates studios. I'm starting a small group for owners who want frank help with the problems on their desks each week.
Six weeks. One online call a week. A private WhatsApp group. It costs nothing to apply.
Why this exists
Most studio advice is too broad to use.
"Improve retention" sounds sensible. It does not tell you why your members leave or what to try on Monday. Another owner may spot something you have missed because they have faced the same problem.
You do not need hundreds of opinions. You need a few owners who will tell you the truth.
The first group
A small group with a clear job.
I'll pick 8 to 10 owners whose studios are far enough apart to speak freely. Before you say yes, I'll send you the dates, price and full plan.
- Group size
- 8 to 10 owners enough time for everyone
- Length
- Six weeks one online call a week
- Between calls
- Private WhatsApp ask questions and keep moving
Use your own numbers
We'll talk about what happened in your studio this week.
Give as well as take
Everyone should bring something that may help another owner.
Try one change
Come back the next week and tell us whether it worked.
Each week
You won't leave with a page of notes.
Each call starts with a problem from the studio and ends with something you can try.
- Before
Send one number or problem
No slides. A few plain words are enough.
- On the call
Talk it through
The group will ask questions and share what they've tried.
- After
Try it in the studio
Decide what you'll do, who'll do it and what you'll check.
- Next week
Tell us what happened
If it worked, keep it. If it did not, change it or stop.
I'll be in the group too
I still do this work every week.
I'm Felix. I run three Rise Reformer Pilates studios. I still work on leads, members, prices, staff and the timetable. I'll run the calls and share what we've learned, including the things that didn't work.
Your studio is different. I won't pretend that what worked at Rise will work for you.
Who it is for
Join if you run the studio and can change it.
Good fit
- Your studio is open.
- You still make the day-to-day calls.
- You will turn up, share what you know and try something between calls.
Not a fit
- You want a course you can watch later.
- You want to sell to the group.
- Your studio is not open yet. Studio Launch is the better route.
Questions
A few straight answers.
Is this a course or a mastermind?
Neither, really. It is a small weekly group for studio owners. We may use a template now and then, but most of the call will go on the problems that members bring.
What will it cost?
Nothing to apply. I haven't set the price for the first group yet. If I offer you a place, you'll see the price and dates before you decide.
Why is there an application?
Because the people make the group. I need owners who will turn up, speak plainly and help each other. If two studios are too close to compete freely, I may put them in different groups.
What belongs in the WhatsApp group?
Quick questions, check-ins and the odd introduction. No pitching. The weekly call is still where we do the work.
What can I share?
Do not repeat another studio's information outside the group. Do not share names or personal details about customers, patients or staff.
Is this the same as the private Studio Growth Diagnostic?
No. The Circle is a group. The Studio Growth Diagnostic is a private 75-minute review with me. You leave with a clear plan for the next 30 days.
What happens after I apply?
I'll reply within two working days. If I think you're a good fit, I'll send the dates, price and full plan. You can then decide whether to join.
