#410: Scaling From 1 Studio To A 7-Figure Exit with Sheetal Guttigoli


Listen Later

Most gym owners start with a fitness passion, instead Sheetal started with a tech background and a structured business plan, and it worked. He built three Club Pilates studios that together do over $100K/month with 50% profit margins and scaled without him onsite. In this episode, you'll hear how he built the system, sold the portfolio, and walked away with a multi-seven-figure exit.

We break down the real numbers behind his sale, how "add-backs" boosted his valuation, why clean P&Ls attract better buyers, and how NPS helped him grow without ads. Whether you're building for freedom, scale, or a future exit, Sheetal's approach proves you don't need to be a fitness expert to run a wildly successful studio, you just need to think like a business owner and implement the right systems.
