Description

In this episode of The Pilates Business Podcast, host Seran Glanfield dives into one of the most common — and costly — misconceptions in the boutique fitness world: the idea that busyness equals success. If your Pilates studio looks full but your profits don’t reflect it, this episode will completely change the way you think about growth.

Seran unpacks what she calls “The Revenue Illusion” — the false sense of success that comes from packed classes, full schedules, and discounted offers that quietly drain your margins. She explains why a bustling schedule doesn’t always mean a profitable Pilates business and how to spot the hidden leaks that may be holding your boutique fitness studio back.

You’ll learn how to shift from chasing “busy” to building true profitability and sustainability, and how redefining success can transform both your income and your quality of life.

🎧 Tune in to discover:

  • Why full classes can still lose money
  • How to identify the silent profit leaks in your business
  • The mindset shift that separates busy owners from profitable CEOs
  • How to design your studio around profitability, not pressure


If you’re ready to step out of the “busy but broke” cycle and finally build a thriving, profitable Pilates studio, this episode is for you.
