What Other Studio Owners Are Doing That You Are Not

Welcome to this bonus podcast episode! If you’ve ever looked at your red-hot competitors and wondered about their secrets to success, we’ve got you. Spoiler: it’s not money, tech…or magic. 

Coaches Caroline Plambeck and Rachel Prairie break down the simple, smart moves that create momentum in Episode 694: What Other Studio Owners Are Doing That You Are Not. 

  • Share the why: host regular team meetings to build communication and buy-in
  • Sell with soul: train your team to connect naturally and ditch pressure tactics
  • Treat them right: onboard well and share opportunities to maximize retention  
  • Guard your time: block hours to think big picture, plan ahead and get out of the weeds
  • Track and tweak: scrutinize your data, refine and experiment without fear

You don’t have to overhaul everything. Start by excelling in the basics: know your numbers, empower your team and lead with clarity rather than chaos. Episode 694 is your overview.

Catch you there.

With grit and gratitude,

Your Economy-Proof Plan, Part 2

Good news: economic downturns don’t have to mean disaster for your studio. In fact, with the right messaging and moves, you can turn uncertainty into opportunity.

In Episode 693: Your Economy-Proof Plan, Part 2, Coach Matt Hanton and I tackle growth strategies that can position your studio to excel while everyone else is playing defense. 

  • Reframe the message: emphasize value—fitness is an investment, not a luxury
  • Tout value: compare your offer to pricier experiences like dinner and concerts
  • Hit the 5 kinds of wealth: exercise feeds the mind, body, wallet, time and relationships
  • Be greedy for growth: look for acquisition, talent and market share opportunities
  • Diversify your stool: add new revenue legs, like retail or events, to steady your base

Economic slumps don’t have to mean shrinking ambitions. Trade fear for faith and take a proactive approach to come out ahead of the curve. Episode 693 lays out your roadmap.

Catch you there.

With grit and gratitude,

Is Your Social Life Your Studio?

Welcome to this bonus podcast episode! If your studio has become your social life, creative outlet and full-time emotional ecosystem, you just might be barrelling toward burnout. 

You’re definitely not alone. In Episode 692: Is Your Social Life Your Studio?, Coach Caroline dives into practical ways to reclaim your energy, identity and joy outside of your business.  

  • Spot the signs: honestly evaluate if your mood rides on client feedback or team drama
  • Redraw boundaries: schedule non-studio hours—and protect them like gold
  • Refill your tank: do something purely for joy and refreshment, not ROI
  • Let go (a little): trust your team to manage, even if it’s 80% of the way you’d do it
  • Reconnect and revive: resurrect who you were before you opened your doors

A thriving studio starts with a thriving owner. Investing in your life outside of your studio allows you to show up better and lead stronger in it. Get after this all-important effort in Episode 692.

Catch you there.

With grit and gratitude,
