InJoy Studio Ownership

On today's episode of the pod I am so thrilled to introduce you to my long time friend Ashely Spivey!

Ashley and I have been friends since high school and have been able to maintain that friendship through social media over the years. She has been living in NYC for 10 years now and has become an avid consumer of boutique fitness classes. You name it, she's taken it!

So for the first time ever on the pod we have our first CONSUMER EXPERT! Ashley and I talk about everything from studio aesthetics, to building community, pricing, classpass, and more.

If you really want to know what the customer loves and keeps them coming back for more then you'll definitely wanna give this episode a listen!

On today's episode of the podcast I am thrilled to FINALLY introduce you to my friend Bre Dumke Helfrich who owns Enroute Movement in Salt Lake City, Utah!

Bre's story is truly unique and inspiring. While overcoming a traumatic mountaineering accident Bre was introduced to Pilates and then later found her way to the GYROTONIC EXPSANSION SYSTEM®. Much different from other studio owner's stories it wasn't love at first sight! Bre came to these modalities with an academic's brain and love of research and so sometimes things got lost in translation. However, Bre was able to recognize that these modalities were helping and she was too curious not to figure out why! She is a self proclaimed "Curious Nerdy Jock." It fits her to a T!

I hope you'll tune in and find encouragement from Bre's story and know that even in the dark times there is something to be learned and it's never too late to go after the things that light your soul on fire!

Burnout.

No matter how many mani/pedis, bubble baths, or massages we get we will all run into this problem if we are in the healing business long enough. We give of ourselves day in and day out and rarely stop to think about how this may be affecting not just ourselves, but those closest to us.

I am SO thrilled Heather Glidden has written about this topic and is sharing her insights with us for FREE! Her love for this community and her desire for ALL of us to THRIVE in our healing businesses is tangible and authentic. If you are in a healing modality as a profession I hope you'll take a listen and grab a copy of Heather's book via the link below.

Meet Emma Kumley!

At the time of this interview Emma was just on the cusp of the grand opening of her brand new pilates and GYROTONIC® studio in Oxford, FL. In this episode we talk about all the things that go into transitioning from a home studio to a larger commercial space. You don't always realize how things like finding the right space and location, leases, buying equipment, transitioning clients to online scheduling, flooring, and phone mishaps can all be very frustrating at times!

Emma however, has been able to navigate these waters with grace. I am so grateful that she came on the podcast to share with all of you her story as I know many of you can relate! Connect with Emma in the links below! INJOY!

Chantal Deeble is on the pod today!! Chantal is owner of Kinespirit in NYC and Kinespirit Circle in Portland, Oregon. In this episode we talk about her journey from dancer, to teacher, to entrepreneur, to owning multiple studios in two completely different parts of the country.

As you can see Chantal is what you may consider BUSY. However, she doesn't see it that way. Chantal sees her life as BEAUTIFULLY FULL. I love that! We dive deep into perception, intuition, and passion when it comes to building a business. We also discuss what that looks like for both us as working moms. Special shout out to our amazing partners who make following our dreams possible!

So please InJoy, Chantal! Love, Emily

Hiring a business coach seems daunting, but it doesn't have to be! Shea and I discuss why hiring a business coach can propel your business forward and is worth the investment. We also discuss hiring assistants, managing staff, as well as some amazing resources and a GREAT deal for all the INJOY tribe!

Meet my good friend Ashley Brown!!

Ashley and I have been friends since 2007 when we went through the Appalachian State University Pilates Teacher Training Program together. And while our training started the same and our stories have overlapped throughout the years our careers have taken us is very different directions!

Ashley comes on the pod today to discuss how "following where the life is" eventually led her into the online space and nutrition coaching. These are two areas we have yet to cover on the podcast and I know you will benefit from her knowledge and advice on these topics that are so relevant to the future the boutique fitness industry.

INJOY!

Life happens to all of us. It is unrealistic to think that the studio we start out with will remain the same throughout our careers. Things happen. Vision changes. Shifts will need to be made. Sometimes they will be minor, but sometimes they will be major!

Monica's story is one of perseverance after loss, never giving up, and remaining true to your vision despite life's obstacles.

If you find yourself in a season of transition in your business I hope you will listen to Monica's story and have hope! You can do it.

With Love, Emily
