Working document
A cancellation, late arrival and waitlist policy you can fill in
Twenty clauses to complete, written for a studio where one empty carriage is one hour of unrecoverable revenue.
Free resources
Resources for reformer studio owners
Working documents and calculators for the daily arithmetic of a studio where capacity is measured in carriages.
Everything here is free and made for one job: helping an owner decide something specific about her reformer schedule this week. Nothing on these pages is a general fitness business guide, because a reformer studio has constraints that a gym or a mat studio simply does not carry.
Start with the calculators if you are sizing a decision, the policy template if late cancellations are eating your capacity, and the comparisons if you are deciding what software runs your booking, waitlist and instructor cover this year.
Free tools
Calculators for reformer studio owners
Two free tools that run the arithmetic every reformer owner does on the back of a class roster.
Comparisons
ReformerRoster compared with the software reformer studios shortlist
Three straight comparisons for the owner deciding what runs her reformer schedule, her waitlist and her sub bench.
Main guide
How many reformers do I actually need before I can run a profitable group class schedule?
It settles how many reformers your studio needs by working backward from rent, instructor pay and revenue per carriage hour to a schedule that actually clears its costs.
Magazine
Spring Line
Reporting for owners of reformer Pilates studios in the US on class economics, apparatus care, instructor rules and daily studio operations.
About
Who writes all of this
Who writes these pages for reformer studio owners, the studio operating background behind them, and why every figure here is worked from carriage hours rather than borrowed from general fitness industry averages.
The material is yours either way
Fill in the policy template, run the calculators and read the comparisons without ever speaking to us. If you would rather see those rules working as settings than as sentences, a demo puts your cancellation deadline, your offer window and your sub bench into a real weekly grid, and you can watch a released carriage fill itself while you sit there.
