What does it really take to grow a profitable, multi-location boutique fitness business? In this episode of Multi-Studio Mastery, Tessa sits down with Seran Glanfield, founder of Spring Three and one of the most trusted business coaches in boutique fitness, to unpack the systems, mindset, and structure behind truly scalable studios. They dive into: - How Seran went from trading floors to studio floors (banking → Pilates!) - Why distinctive brand messaging still wins in an oversaturated fitness market - The most overlooked cause of low retention (and how to fix it) - What readiness to scale really looks like (hint: it’s not just about revenue) - The underrated importance of team culture and ongoing training - How studio owners can step into their role as leaders, not just operators This is a masterclass in business growth for fitness entrepreneurs who want more than just full classes… they want freedom, structure, and sustainability.
