Diary of a Pilates Studio Owner

For our final episode of S1, Nic sits down for her first ever solo episode.

Nic knows what it’s like to be starting out running your own studio and feeling a little bit lost or alone, so she wanted to chat about everything that has been coming up for her recently about running multiple studios, launching a teacher training programme and trying to balance work and life without burnout.

She also shares the joy and challenges of running a growing team, staying committed to her own Pilates practice and why continuous learning is so vital in the Pilates world.

She finishes up talking about marketing strategy, sales recruitment and building the right support structure for sustainable growth.
