Let’s face it: when you started your career as a fitness professional, you had no idea of the amount of time you would need to put into the actual business side of things.
Maybe you’re a Pilates teacher and feel like you’ve been floundering around and seeing mediocre results in your class sizes and struggle to retain students. It’s not the best feeling and could even make you feel discouraged. Perhaps you are left wondering what you can do to improve your business and marketing.
Here at Future Fit Training, we don’t leave anyone behind when it comes to making them true Pilates professionals. Not only does this include excellent teaching, but we give teachers like you the tools to market themselves effectively in our Career Accelerator Packages and courses like our Building Your Fitness Business.
Do you want to make more money as a Pilates instructor, doing something you love? We want you to as well! You are not alone.
Learn key directions you can take to direct your business for more growth and profit. Here are 3 essential things you need to do in order to build a prosperous Pilates business.
The first thing you need is a business plan. What are your goals? Where do you teach? Who are your clients? Do you want to teach speciality workshops or have a niche to focus on? You need to get clear on your vision so that you can plan accordingly.
Additionally, having a business plan will help you with all of your expenses. You can also project your income and even set up a goal for how much money you desire to bring in through your teaching. This way you can use your business plan to help you stay on track.
Added bonus: all of this will help you at tax time, too!
In today’s social media-saturated world, it’s a no-brainer to use free tools like Facebook and Instagram to promote yourself as a teacher as well as your classes. Alternatively, you can make a website with an easy drag-and-drop website builder from third-party providers like Hostinger and rank on top of Google.
And now, with the assistance of our course, you will be able to put a plan in place and take the steps to set yourself apart and see results. Through the use of promotional tools, you will begin growing and retaining your client base in no time.
No more worries about who’s coming to class anymore! Those days will be history.
It’s time to take inventory of what makes you and your teaching unique. What sets you apart from the crowd? Why should people take your Pilates class?
A part of marketing is convincing other people, friends and strangers alike, why they should come to your class over someone else. The fitness world is growing, so it is becoming more and more competitive. You have to make yourself stand out! This where building your brand comes into play.
When you begin to build your brand, you will be able to market yourself with key selling points that make your teaching and classes consistent. And you know what else this means? You will retain more regular paying clients while recruiting new ones! Sounds like a win-win situation right?
