In this week’s Female emPOWERED episode, Christa breaks down one of the most powerful—and misunderstood—decisions you’ll ever make as a boutique fitness or wellness business owner: finding your niche.

If you’ve ever worried that niching down means turning clients away, leaving money on the table, or boxing yourself in, this episode will change your perspective. Christa shares why narrowing your focus actually expands your impact and profitability, how to identify your ideal client, and what it really takes to become the go-to expert in your area.

This is the episode every Pilates, PT, and yoga studio owner needs to hear before the new year!

🔍 What You’ll Learn

• Why niching doesn’t mean excluding people—it means serving the right ones better
• The key benefits of specialization for boutique fitness and wellness businesses
• How to find your ideal clients based on energy, outcomes, and results
• The three-step process to discover your profitable niche
• Real examples of successful niche businesses (like Pilates in the Grove!)
• How to align your niche with your profit goals and lifestyle
• What to do when your niche evolves over time
• Why being known for one thing creates clarity in your marketing, referrals, and offers

🧭 Takeaway Framework: The 4-Step Niche Discovery Process

1. Passion & Energy: Who lights you up to work with? Who drains you?
2. Expertise: Who do you get the best results for? What are your consistent transformations?
3. Market Demand: Is there an underserved group in your community or industry?
4. Profitability & Lifestyle Fit: Can you charge premium rates—and does it support your ideal work-life balance?

🧩 Why This Matters

Niching down simplifies everything—your messaging, your offers, your marketing, and your growth. It positions you as an expert, creates client buy-in, and increases profitability.

When people think of your specialty, they should immediately think of you.
