InJoy Studio Ownership

Meet Grace Parra!   Grace and I met because we have bumped into each other several times over the years at classical pilates workshops throughout NC over the years.  We were instant friends!   I am so excited for you to hear her story of how she has been able to successfully blend her classical pilates style of teaching into a studio that was predominately contemporary.  She then goes into detail on how that was so successful she was invited into co-ownership!   Other topics we dive into include

Owning a boutique fitness studio is hard...   Co-owning a studio can be even harder, and yet Trey Fry and Meg Hopkins of Kinetic MKE seem to have sailed through their first year in business together.  Some topics we discussed that I am so excited to share are... *The key ingredients when it comes to successful partnerships. *How to identify your strengths and weaknesses so you know where your specific talents can best serve the business. *The most important factors to look for when brining on new

Hello!  Welcome to the InJoy Studio Ownership Podcast!  I am so thrilled you decided to drop in.  On this podcast I sit down with boutique fitness studio owners to discuss the ups and the downs of what this entrepreneur life is.  The boutique fitness world is BOOMING right now and I wanted to chat with the studio owners I admire who seem to be getting it right!  But before we dive into those interviews this episode is just a little bit about me.  How I got into this industry and why I wanted to
