Building Better Studios: The Power of Partnership

At ReformerPilates.com, we’re building more than just a platform. We’re creating a network that brings together the best people, brands and businesses across the Reformer Pilates world. Our goal is simple: to help studio owners, instructors and enthusiasts connect, learn and grow together.

That sense of collaboration was on full display at our Building Better Reformer Pilates Studios event earlier this year. We brought together a brilliant mix of experts from across the industry, master trainers, studio founders and business consultants, each sharing their experience and insight to help others succeed.

Our speakers included Michael King, one of the world’s most respected master trainers, studio owners Elle Kealy, Georgia Testa and Holly Essuman, Arketa founder Rachel Lea Fishman, and consultants Wendy Coulson, Aimee Seaborne and Sam Crawford. Between them, they covered everything from building a strong brand and creating a loyal client base to developing a team and scaling a studio the right way.

During his talk, Michael summed up the spirit of what we’re creating perfectly: “Together, we are stronger.” It’s a simple idea, but one that sits right at the heart of ReformerPilates.com. Collaboration and community are what drive this industry forward, and that’s exactly what we’re here to build.

The wider community told us they needed this, with all tickets selling out within a week…and every attendee rated it 10 out of 10. Even better, 100% said they’d come to the next one. It’s clear that the appetite for genuine connection and shared expertise is stronger than ever.

More than just selling beds

What makes ReformerPilates.com different is our approach. We’re not just here to sell beds, we’re here to support studio owners every step of the way. Whether you’re opening your first space or growing your fifth, we offer guidance, insight and practical advice to help you get there.

Our partner network includes trusted names across equipment, software, marketing, design and training. For our partners, this means genuine introductions to high-quality leads. For studio owners, it means trusted recommendations from people who’ve done the hard work of finding the right fit.

A nod from our team carries weight because it’s based on experience and trust. We take pride in working with partners who share our values and who help studio owners build long-term success.

Choosing the right technology

One of the most important decisions any studio owner makes is choosing the right technology. Having spent many years in the marketing technology world myself, I know how crowded and confusing this space can be.

There are more than 30 booking platforms out there for fitness and wellness businesses. Many look similar, but the difference often comes down to the small details, such as how transparent the pricing is, how responsive the support team are, and whether the system is set up to truly grow with your business.

We’ve spoken with studio owners who’ve faced steep price hikes or felt locked into systems that didn’t suit them. That’s why we’ve hand picked technology partners who we believe offer the best mix of value, flexibility and support.

Through these partnerships, we can help studio owners make smart choices and, when needed, navigate the process of switching platforms without the usual headaches.

The Power of Collaboration

Our recent Studio Owner Workshop for aspiring founders brought all our partners together from trainers and consultants to tech providers and design specialists,  to build a clear, practical template for success. Everyone who attended left with new knowledge, new contacts and a renewed sense of confidence in their journey ahead.

Like any good business, ours is built on relationships,  with our clients, our partners and our community. As we grow, we’ll keep strengthening that network, creating new opportunities for collaboration and success across the Reformer Pilates world.

At ReformerPilates.com, we believe that success is something we build together…and as the saying goes “Together, we are Definitely stronger.”
