Today we talk about pricing, specifically, pricing for private sessions.
Most of us don't like to talk about pricing.
I get it.
It can be uncomfortable.
But let's step into the "uncomfortable", especially since, as teachers, we need to get paid.
Most of the Pilates industry is using packages as a standard pricing option. The advice to move to memberships for all pricing options has been circulating in our industry for a while now. Some of the studios have incorporated memberships into their group class offerings and are actually reaping the financial rewards of this move.
But private training is an entirely different story. Right?
It's not designed for memberships (you might say ;-)
Let's jump down the rabbit hole and explore all the ways that private training memberships can actually benefit studio owners, teachers and clients! (and, please, leave comments on this week's article to share whether private training memberships have worked for your business or not.)
We got the chance to do a feature with the lovely Allison Zang who inspires people nor move better, feel better and be healthy.

Y’all, does it seem impossible to find teachers that “fit” your studio?
The struggle is real when it comes to finding teachers who are personable, reliable, and align with your studio's values.
But what if I told you, in-house teacher training could be your golden ticket?
In EPISODE 564, we dive into the transformative power of teacher training programs.
Join Studio Grow coach and seasoned studio owner, Allison Zang, as she unpacks the essentials of building a successful in-house training program.
Here's a quick peek at what we'll cover:
Why training your own teachers can be the solution to teacher shortages and inconsistency.
The essentials of teacher training programs and how to decide what's best for your studio.
The logistics of implementing a teacher training program without disrupting your existing schedule or blowing your budget.
How to price your programs for maximum profitability, with tips on payment plans, cancellation policies, early bird pricing, and potential upsells.
Picture this:
You implement a teacher training program that increases your studio's profitability by 30%.
You add stability to your team.
And your community thrives.
Sounds like a win-win, right?
So, let’s create something special.
Tune in to EPISODE 564 and we’ll discuss the power of in-house teacher training at your studio.

Y’all, a teacher training program can be a game-changer for your studio.
It can increase your cash flow, enhance your reputation, and you a wonderful group of trained instructors who can join your studio family.
But let’s be real – running a teacher training program is hard work.
It means extra hours, long weekends and a significant investment in energy and resources.
So if you put in all that extra effort and offer a teacher training program this year, you have to make sure it’s a doggone sell-out.
