Expanding Your Studio

Is it Time to Expand your Pilates Studio?

For many studios, growth of your clientele may finally allow you the opportunity to build “the studio you always wanted,” by adding new or different pieces of equipment.

For others, it’s matter of keeping your programming exciting - ensuring that personal and group sessions remain fresh and challenging. Interesting classes keep your clients keep coming back (and bringing friends). This takes some creativity, especially if space issues limit you.

Here are tips on how to expand your Pilates studio with new equipment and programming. The goal: to keep your classes fresh and fun, regardless of your studio size.

Add accessories

Accessories are a simple, inexpensive way to spice up a class. For each, you and your instructors can offer a wide variety of new exercises to challenge your clients.

See our studio product suggestions for accessories, plus instructional books and videos that help you build your exercise repertoire.

Add equipment

A new piece of equipment can definitely add a new dimension to your studio. Additions like a Studio Reformer with Tower or a full Trapeze Table / Cadillac greatly increase the amount and variety of programming you and your clients can explore.

If you can’t expand horizontally, then expand vertically! If you have Allegro Reformers, consider adding an Allegro Tower of Power to get the functionality of a Tower. Both of these add-on options require no additional floor space.

Want to offer group sessions even if you’re challenged by limited space? Expand your Pilates Studio program with Allegro Reformers that roll, stack or store on end, so you can easily move them when they’re not in use.

Add new programming ideas

As fun as new equipment is, it’s still critical that you continue to develop fresh programming ideas. It can be as simple as gathering together people with the same interests for a group class. Specialty classes for people with similar interests and common bonds are thriving in studios around the world, including Pilates classes for:

•Older adults

•Men only or women only

•Post-natal mothers

•Golfers

•Equestrians

•Tennis players

•Runners

•Cyclists

•Skiers

For group classes, a socially competitive, yet supportive, atmosphere also keeps class interest high. Foster environments where clients feel accountable to fellow classmates: making sure they attend the session, do each exercise to the best of their ability, and encourage each other to reach the next milestone.
