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?

628 - Selling Your Studio with Host Peter and Mitch McGinley

Sep 12, 2024

 

Competitor opening nearby? 

 

Cue spiking stress, nagging worries and the heavy weight of dread.  

 

But, my friend, let’s adopt a healthier approach. Competitors are a given, so get a go-to game plan to keep your studio – and your mindset –  thriving. Trust someone who’s been there, as Coach Catherine shares top tips in Episode 627, How to Deal with Competitors Opening. 

 

How to go on offense:

 

  • Flip the script: instead of a threat, consider competitors an opportunity to grow

  • Do your homework: research your competitors' positioning, pricing and promotions 

  • Bypass the price war: know your worth and refuse to undercut your value

  • Brag better: revisit marketing strategies and reinforce your unique selling points 

  • Nurture your peeps: seek feedback, enhance client service and love on your team

 

Keep in mind that competition is healthy and can make your studio even stronger. Replace the “what-ifs” with an optimistic outlook in Episode 627. 

 

Catch you there,

 

Lise

Think about Nike, Skechers and OOFOS. What comes to mind for each? They’re all shoes, but their brands are recognizably distinct. 

 

That, y’all, is brand positioning. And you need it to differentiate your studio in a crowded market and in the minds of your clients and prospects. Coach Elle breaks the process down in Episode 626, The 3 Pillars of Brand Positioning. 

 

Here’s a sneak peek:

 

  • Dive deep: research and really get to know your audience and ideal client avatar 

  • Learn the landscape: analyze your competitors' client journeys, strengths and weaknesses

  • Define and differentiate:  communicate consistently what sets your studio apart

  • Cultivate creativity: seek inspiration from other brands and unleash your imagination 

  • Execute effectively: intentionally incorporate your brand positioning into everything 

 

Your brand positioning must make it clear why a person should choose you. This influences buying decisions more than anything else. Uncover how to craft your competitive edge in Episode 626. 

 

Catch you there,

 

Lise
