Reformer spaces sold like the asset they are

A reformer studio has a hard capacity and a real cost per space, so an empty machine is an expensive machine. Sell blocks and memberships against that capacity and charge properly when a space is held and not used.

Capacity and credits tracked automatically.

2.5% plus 35p on standard UK cards, with the platform fee inside it.

Fill every reformer

A cancelled reformer space is only lost if nobody hears about it. Waitlists offer it on automatically and attendance history shows you the client who has quietly stopped coming while there is still time to ask why.

Unlimited clients on every plan.

Running a Pilates teaching business

Reformer Pilates is the one class business here where the equipment sets the class size. Ten machines means ten students, however large the room is and however many people are standing outside it. Every commercial decision in the studio follows from that ceiling.

What a reformer space has to earn

The numberWhy it is fixedWhat it decides
Machines in the roomSet by floor area and by what you could afford to buyThe absolute ceiling on any class, permanently
Rent and rates per weekOwed whether a class runs or notThe cost carried by every space in every session
Classes you can physically teachLimited by your voice, your body and who can coverHow much of that ceiling you can actually reach
Spaces sold per classThe only figure you influence day to dayWhether the studio makes money this month

Divide the weekly fixed cost by the number of spaces the timetable contains, not by the number you sold. That figure is the break even price of a space. Most studios have never sat down and worked it out.

Matwork and reformer are two businesses sharing one timetable

A mat class takes twenty people into a hired hall with nothing but a stack of mats behind the door. A reformer class takes ten into a room full of equipment that had to be bought, serviced and insured. They look alike on a timetable and they are nothing alike underneath it.

Price them apart and staff them apart. The mat side is where volume and beginners live and where a nervous new student can be introduced cheaply. The reformer side is where the margin sits. It is the one that must not run two thirds full.

Use the mat class as the front door. Somebody who has done six weeks on a mat is far likelier to book a machine than a stranger who walked past the window. She already knows how you teach.

Where a reformer studio leaks

  • A cancellation an hour before class, on a machine that then sits still for the session
  • Classes added to a timetable that was only ever two thirds sold
  • Introductory offers taken repeatedly by the same student under a new email address
  • Springs, straps and footbars left unserviced until a machine is out of use on a Monday morning
  • A one to one booked into a peak evening slot for less than the class in that slot would have taken
  • Unlimited memberships priced on average attendance and then used by the four people who come daily

What a well run reformer studio does

  • Works out the break even price of a space before setting any class price
  • Holds a waiting list on every class so a freed machine is offered on automatically
  • Applies the cancellation window to everybody, friends and staff included
  • Fills the classes already on the timetable before adding another one
  • Keeps injuries, pregnancies and modifications on the client record rather than in one instructor's memory
  • Sells one to one work into the quiet middle of the day instead of the evening peak
  • Books servicing into the diary as though it were a paying class
  • Notices the regular who has not booked for a fortnight, because a reformer client rarely announces that she has stopped

Built for pilates instructors

Each of these sits in the same account, so a booking, its payment and the client record stay together.

  • Class booking with capacity

    Set the number of reformers or mats per class and booking closes when they are taken.

  • Passes and memberships

    Class credit packs that expire after the days you set or a recurring membership through Stripe.

  • Waitlists

    Full classes take a waitlist and a freed spot is offered to the next client without you texting round.

  • Card payments up front

    Payment is taken at booking and classes below your minimum can be cancelled automatically.

  • Automated reminders

    Clients are reminded before class by the channels you choose.

  • Member records and history

    Injuries, pregnancy notes and attendance kept against each client.
