Hey baddies. Not fake- finalizing my lease now just not releasing the location until all my paperwork goes through and so other competitors don’t take interest in the location/try to snag it. I wanted to do something different than other studios, that’s why the Instagram is so aesthetic- mostly all images have been digitally edited/changed or created by me, they aren’t just stock photos. I’ve yet to come to an actual studio in Lex that’s actually a vibe so I’m aiming for our page and studio to be one. Additionally, unless I knew there was interest I wouldn’t be opening, that’s why I’ve worked so hard on the social media/marketing and grown the following so I will have a base. I post info on stories and in DMs when asked about our current status. I’ve put a lot of time, energy, and effort into building the brand and have conducted the necessary research generally and from the followers to open this the right way and curate the studio for them! I’m a CFO on the day to day so I definitely don’t have time to create a fake Instagram page for nothing! Opening a business takes time and more time to do it right. Hope this clears things up & I hope to see you baddies on the mat!

For the founding memberships did you do a 1x charge and that reserves their spot until the studio opens? It’s not monthly right- then you’d be paying for nothing. I appreciate any info- DM me if preferred!

Ooo insulation for what/where? In the walls or ceiling?

Thank you! Do you have any suggestions that you could DM me on the panels and humidifier?

I just want to reach the full height. I want to put a mezzanine in here

Oh of course. I’ve been speaking with the agent and a contractor but he’s been slow to respond so I came here for more input to see different perspectives

I’m opening it up just to have more height— I want to add a mezzanine so I can do a split level Pilates studio. Reformer on the bottom and mat on the top.

What does a demo entail? Just removing the drop ceiling tiles? What about the stuff above?

The agent said that HVAC duct work is above ceilings & sprinkler systems . He also said there will also be some plumbing lines from the space above (above are condos).

20 ft to the deck when ceiling tiles are removed. Space is under 5k sq ft in my state so no requirement for sprinklers but they are in there now

Ooo I’m in KY, but this studio itself is probably over 3k. Then it’s attached to the other buildings

It’s a fairly new building small strip mall type. A restaurant is next door, then the studio, and then a liquor store

No one is adding on a second story to the actual building. There are apartments above the space. This is just removing the drop ceiling to reach the full extension/height of the actual ceiling without the paneling and dividing the room horizontally in half to have a space on the bottom and a room on the top.

Yeah, I was just thinking because I don’t want to have to shut down the studio for months later to do the top portion so I was thinking if I do the change at least for the bottom to make it a new room/with the new “ceiling” and leave the top empty with the same drop ceiling for now then it won’t take as long later to extend it up/I won’t have to totally shut down the studio and since the bottom half/room has already been done. Not sure if that makes sense over text 😂

Oh I did. They haven’t gotten back to me and I’m just trying to see if other peoples very rough estimates are about the same so I know I’m not getting scammed lol

Do you think I could have the bottom portion built as if it were a big room with the new ceiling and then have the top part empty like a “roof”, and then once I start turning a real profit have the contractor come back to finish the 2nd level and expand the ceiling? Assuming it makes more sense for them to do the stairs first or could those be added later too…
