Hey ladies! Spot checking segments-Yet another reason we’re better than big box gyms (as if we needed more reasons).
Back story: The big box gym my best friend goes to got super shady ownership, cleanliness went down hill, and then they completely cut childcare with a 4 day notice for clients and the childcare employees. My best friend did online digging, found the owner’s contact, and sent him direct emails about it. She was brought into the main office and they REVOKED her membership due to the “upsetting nature” of her efforts to bring childcare back. Y’all. She’s in a winback segment less than 3 months later. Maybe we spot check for people you literally removed from your gym. 😳

What tech do you recommend for making QR codes?

Hi, I’m Kristen! I’m excited to join this community!
I am trying to start my own business in pilates.
I fell in love with teaching when I started my barre program 7 years ago and then I found Pilates in 2020. I knew I wanted to somehow make it my career and do it full time.
I currently work full time as a Cat Scan Tech at MGH and teach barre, pilates mat and reformer at 2 studios.
I’m also in a Basi 400 hr comprehensive pilates certification program because I want to learn all the things.
After a health scare last year, I realized that I wanted to go for my dream and I finally got the nerve to start planning a way to have my own pilates studio.
I can’t quit my job and go all in so I’m going to start small  with a home studio and see if I can build something that will lead me to opening my own space . We are in the process of renovating the garage and I bought a reformer.
So I need to make a website and get a scheduling platform and figure out pricing so I can launch before the end of the summer hopefully !
I’m really looking forward to all the trainings on this platform and being a part of this community!

Anyone else having Zapier issues all of a sudden? I keep getting messages that there are errors with my zaps in the last 2 days anytime it’s tried to run one and never have before. I’m away with spotty internet so haven’t been able to really look into it, but just curious if it’s happening to anyone else?

Anyone got opinions on Vagaro as a booking system?
Had a bad sales experience with Momence so def don’t want to look there.

Does anyone have an email template you’d be willing to share for a “hey we noticed you haven’t been in to the studio in X days and we just wanted to check in/we miss you.” I want to create one but I’m blanking on what exactly it should say 😅

Hi! I haven’t been too chatty on here bc I am very much neck deep in my finishing my classical Pilates certification (mid July - yippee!).
I have been taking on clients and have about 10 regulars who have been tried and true clients, even in these summer months.
My question is — I am taking off 3 weeks in August and I really want to make my best effort to ensure these clients don’t drop off during that time.
Any tips from seasoned veterans? Should I reward them with a bonus session, class, etc?
Thx in advance!!
