The Business of Boutique Fitness

I’m Lise Kuecker, a long time Studio Owner turned founder here at Studio Grow. Just a few years ago, I was building my studios the hard way cause I didn’t have the team, the budget, or most importantly the time. If you speed up to today, I sold my wildly profitable studios in the mid-7 figures while serving my community in ways I could have only dreamed. Now, I work with thousands of boutique fitness studio owners in over 40 countries and am so blessed to share some of the best tested strategies for our industry every single week. I created this podcast so you’d always have clear, actionable processes, tried and tested Facebook advice and some good ole fashioned inspiration so that you can take simple actionable steps to grow your studio and turn it into a powerhouse empire, just like I did. If you’re a studio owner who's ready to impact your community and see major growth in the process, or you’re prepping to become one, then you are in the right place. So let’s kick this off, shall we?

We’ve been moving through the best of the best episodes of this year, and I have to say that it was no surprise to me when this one jumped to the very top of the list. The fact of the matter is, most of us are confronted with one question by new prospective clients: How much do you cost? There are three ways you can answer this that will make all the difference to turning that prospect into a long-term client!

I am so excited you’re joining me for a “Best Of” episode, where you’re going to be getting access to the biggest shows of the past few months.
