In this episode of The Pilates Business Podcast, host Seran Glanfield tackles one of the most misunderstood signals in a boutique fitness studio business: the waitlist. While a waitlisted class can feel like the ultimate win, Seran breaks down why it might actually be a hidden bottleneck quietly costing your pilates studio revenue, burning out your best clients, and capping your growth potential. Seran walks through the three most common mistakes pilates and boutique fitness studio owners make when demand outpaces capacity, including why treating your waitlist like a passive parking lot is one of the most expensive habits in your business. If your classes are full but your revenue feels flat, this episode is your wake-up call. Discover how to read your waitlist as a powerful data point, design your pilates business for intentional growth, and optimize your pricing and positioning to match the demand you've already created. Because the goal isn't just full classes — it's a profitable, sustainable studio that supports your life, not consumes it. 🔗 Learn more about Thrive: www.springthree.com/thrive 📲 Instagram: @seran_spring_three 🌐 Website: www.springthree.com Got a question for Seran?

Is your Pilates studio marketing feeling like a whole lot of effort for very little reward?  In this episode of The Pilates Business Podcast, host Seran Glanfield pulls back the curtain on one of the most common — and costly — mistakes boutique fitness studio owners make: trying to market to everyone.  Seran breaks down why generic, broad marketing messaging doesn't just fail to attract new clients, it actively makes your studio invisible in a crowded market.  From understanding the real difference between inclusivity and specificity, to uncovering the hidden costs of vague positioning — price shoppers, low retention, and exhausting conversion conversations — this episode is a must-listen for any studio owner who's wondering why their marketing isn't converting.  Seran shares why a positioning problem, not a posting problem, is likely at the root of stalled growth, and how getting clear on who you serve best is the most powerful thing you can do to fuel consistent, sustainable revenue in your Pilates business. 🎧 If your boutique fitness studio is busy but not profitable, or if your marketing feels noisy and inconsistent, this episode will shift the way you think about your brand messaging — for good. 🔗 Ready to stop guessing and start growing?

In this episode of The Pilates Business Podcast, host Seran Glanfield tackles one of the most persistent myths in the boutique fitness industry: that more clients automatically equals more success. Seran breaks down why chasing new leads without the right foundations in place can actually accelerate stress, erode profit margins, and push studio owners closer to burnout — not further away from it.  Drawing from her work with studio owners around the world inside her Thrive Business Coaching Program, Seran reveals why the real growth bottlenecks in most Pilates and boutique fitness businesses aren't about lead generation at all — they're hiding in retention systems, pricing strategy, operational capacity, and leadership development.  If you've been working harder than ever but still feel like your business is fragile, reactive, or unpredictable, this episode will completely shift how you think about scaling your studio. Seran shares why sustainable, profitable studio growth comes from building smarter — not bigger — and what it truly looks like to design a boutique fitness business that supports both your income goals and your life. 🎙️ Learn more about Thrive at: www.springthree.com/thrive Got a question for Seran?
