Not all teacher trainings are created equal, y’all.

Teacher trainings can be a powerful revenue generator, help you give back to your community, and source great instructors for your studio. 

But here’s the kicker, if you’ve got dreams of growing your program to 7-8 figures: there are certain things you’re going to have to consider:

• Like centering your business model around a product stack
• The different tiers of training you offer
• Or whether you should set up a separate business for your teacher training

You can expect all of that and more in this week’s episode of The Business Of Boutique Fitness. Join Lise in episode 2 of our new Teacher Training series as she breaks down the business models that bring in seven and eight-figures just from teacher training.

Here’s what we’re talking about in this episode:

• Developing a seven and eight-figure teacher training program as a separate business entity with its own IP and brand
• Core and foundational training for the masses and technical aspects of building a training with milestones and CEUs
• Business model for teacher training programs with annual fees, CEUs, and a product stack for recurring revenue
• Next level of training with a focus on more advanced movements and specializations that reflect the brand
• Level three training a professional training with a niche focus and potential for skipping over based on personal goals

Y’all, a teacher training program can be a little bit of a lot of things.

It could be designed to: 

• Channel expertly trained instructors into your studio
• Bring in extra revenue
• Give back to the community and enrich your modality

But no matter how you structure your teacher training, the bottom line is this: it’s a phenomenal opportunity to impact and enrich lives while bringing home some extra cash. 

But to get started (and make sure you get it right!) you need to have a big enough vision – and know exactly who you want to enrol. 

And that’s exactly what we’re talking about in this week’s episode of The Business Of Boutique Fitness. Join Lise in the first episode of our new Teacher Training series as she breaks down the 3 types of teacher trainings every studio should consider before they build their own program.

Here’s what we’ll discuss in Episode 661:

• The key elements of a successful onboarding process & why it’s critical to your program’s success
• The concept of the bridge training program & how you can use it to quickly onboard experienced instructors 
• Proven best practices for developing a comprehensive teacher training program
• How to build advanced programs to develop expertly trained and committed instructors

Y’all, a teacher training program can be a game-changer for your studio.

It can increase your cash flow, enhance your reputation, and you a wonderful group of trained instructors who can join your studio family.

But let’s be real – running a teacher training program is hard work.

It means extra hours, long weekends and a significant investment in energy and resources.

So if you put in all that extra effort and offer a teacher training program this year, you have to make sure it’s a doggone sell-out. 

And that’s exactly what Studio Coach Allison Zang will help you do in this week’s episode of The Business Of Boutique Fitness. With 15 years of experience running a successful Pilates studio in Central Pennsylvania, Allison knows just what it takes to make a teacher training program a success. And this week, she will share her time-tested strategies for building a teacher training waitlist that’ll help your program sell like hotcakes! 

Here’s what we’ll talk about in Episode 560:

• Why you should collect leads for your teacher training program all year round
• How and when to build your waitlist page
• Proven strategies for marketing your teacher training program
• How to build “height” around your studio to deepen people’s interest
