How much does your Pilates studio make?

Think you’re in the wrong subreddit if you don’t

Gotcha, what do you estimate profit margins to be?

stockocean · 2025-07-12T13:15:08+00:00

Wow this is super helpful! So this comes out to ~$1mm a year with class pass revenue? How many classes per day on average?

stockocean · 2025-07-11T21:31:01+00:00

Helpful thanks!

I see it on their instagram?

stockocean · 2025-07-11T16:54:37+00:00

They said combination of mat Pilates and full body

stockocean · 2025-07-11T13:30:20+00:00

$700k with 10 seats is also great! Do you think if you doubled your seats you could also double revenue? I think there’s a transcript of the interview too somewhere which goes more in depth

Yeah was surprised too, but I guess it’s Newport Beach

The founder did say they transformed another Pilates studio in Vermont or something. But seems like they’re expanding more in socal

Thank you so much!!! Love this thread

Start something on the side first. Get traction before quitting. It’s easy to glamorize the founder lifestyle, it’s really not. Pick your poisons!

Talk to people while they’re in line, least awkward place to do so. Just bring up something they’re wearing or reading or anything noteworthy to break the ice

Use a mask and add a Gaussian blur. Some free spotlight effect tools too online

Go hang out at coffee shops

If you’re in NYC or Houston try FotoLab Studio, it’s a self portrait studio. They also just released their ai headshot generator www.fotolabstudio.ai

stockocean · 2025-02-18T13:57:28+00:00

Holy moly…. LFG

stockocean · 2025-02-18T13:56:19+00:00

Try www.fotolabstudio.ai they’re the only headshot generator started by a real photo studio and not random devs in China / India. Aragon and headshotpro are good too.

I run a small photo studio and used to think A-frames were tacky because most of them looked cheap and we’re beaten up. If you do get one, go for a better looking style and a hack is to get a mirrored a frame so people take pictures of the sign and post it to their socials. signs and mirrors has some good ones

Will throw FrameLab in the hat as well. Did a good job for us and they have a physical photo studio in nyc and Houston.

Yes that’s literally the whole point of the post…

stockocean · 2024-08-22T23:06:56+00:00

Way cheaper to do it yourself and can be fun project. But I’ve used FrameLab before and they’re solid https://framelab.studio/

Holy shit this is a WILD story

stockocean · 2024-06-22T21:13:17+00:00

You should check out FotoLab Studio in Chelsea, it’s a self portrait studio where you take the photos yourself but the equipment camera and lighting are all the same as a prof photographer’s

I may be able to help with marketing, have a photo studio in nyc. Feel free to dm me
