Why Some Fitness Studios Grow 14x Faster Than the Industry

👉🏼 Everyone's telling you the market's flat, and your numbers are starting to agree with them. If your studio isn't growing anywhere near 20 percent (our Academy average) and you can't work out why, my team will help you find what's holding you back: Book a Strategy Call. Everyone keeps telling you no one's growing right now. The head of one of the big Pilates networks told me it's as bad as 2021. It's not. The Australian fitness industry is growing at 1.4 percent. In the same market, with the same petrol prices and the same $9 smoothies, our studios in the Academy are growing at 20 percent. That's 14 times faster than the industry, and it's not an accident. When we dug into the data, we found a group of studios growing 18 times faster than the middle of the Academy. Same content, same access as everyone else. They weren't luckier and they weren't spending more on ads. They did four things differently, and one of them is about the room you're sitting in right now. Today Ryan and I are breaking down exactly what those studios do, so you can stop believing the market is the reason you're stuck.
