In this episode of TRIMIO UNLOCKED, host Bruce Hildebrand dives deep into a topic relevant to every Pilates studio owner: the hidden potential within your studio's underutilised space. Bruce discusses how empty reformer rooms, quiet mat studios, and downtime between classes or on off-peak hours represent significant lost revenue. He explains the often-overlooked cost of underutilised space, from ongoing rent and utilities to equipment depreciation. Drawing insights from our recent blog article, Bruce reveals how Trimio provides a simple, powerful solution to transform these quiet hours into a profitable goldmine. Learn how to leverage your existing asset – your studio space – as a low-touch, flexible revenue stream without changing your core business model or adding overhead. Discover the low risk, high reward approach Trimio offers and how it can foster a collaborative ecosystem within your local Pilates community. This episode is a must-listen for any studio owner looking to increase profitability by making their space work for them, even when they're not actively teaching.

Key Takeaways:

• The Untapped Potential: Every studio has valuable space that sits unused during certain hours or days. This represents lost revenue and an opportunity waiting to be unlocked.
• The Cost of Downtime: Underutilised space isn't just empty; it costs you money through fixed expenses like rent, utilities, and equipment depreciation. Every unused hour could be revenue.
• Traditional Models vs. Hidden Gaps: While memberships and scheduled classes are core, they inevitably leave low-traffic periods perfectly suited for alternative uses like independent instructor bookings.
• Trimio as a Plug-and-Play Solution: Trimio connects studio owners with qualified independent instructors needing professional space. It's a seamless digital platform to list availability, set rates, and manage bookings.
• Generate Passive Revenue: By listing your space on Trimio, you can earn income from time slots that would otherwise remain unused, turning an existing asset into a flexible revenue stream.
• Low Risk, High Reward: Monetising space through Trimio requires no upfront investment, marketing costs, or additional payroll. You are simply opening your existing doors.
• Flexibility and Stability: Trimio helps keep cash flow steady during slower seasons or transitional periods. It allows you to capitalise on otherwise vacant hours.
• The Micro-Rental Model: Studios with excess space can turn it into a strategic asset that supports both their business and the wider instructor community.
• Profit Without Increasing Workload: If you're looking to increase profitability efficiently, the answer may already be within your studio's walls. Trimio makes it easier to make your space work for you, every hour of the day.
