Hi Ariana, thanks for joining us today. Setting up an independent practice is a daunting endeavor. Can you talk to us about what it was like for you – what were some of the main steps, challenges, etc.
I’m from Buenos Aires, argentina. I used To owne a pilates studio over there.
When I moved to US, I have never thought to open my own Pilates Studio in Miami.
When I got pregnant, my husband offered me to share his office to teacher some private pilates classes. 3 months later, I
Bought 5 refomers
To teach group clases. A year after, we moved to a bigger space. And currently, I’m moving to a shopping center….4 years after my first client
I’m so happy and proud for accomplishing my dreams and goals
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I used to be a gymnast and dancer. I studied physical education. Once I got graduated, I found the pilates method. I was a little more than 20 years old and felt I no love to the method
Since 2004, I have being studying and practicing pilates.
My goal as a trainer is Avery one can do pilates regarding their own capacities.
Classes in my studio are designed for every level. Everybidy can achieve their goals.
I teach to future pilates teachers. I love teaching either clients and instructors. Even I keep studying every year. I never
Stop learning. Every year I attend to new workshops to improve my knowledge and classes.
Regarding to my academic career, I am not only a physical educator teacher, I am a pilates master teacher, a second generation pilates teacher, barre instructor. I am certified in pilates for breast cancer, joints replacement, neurological conditions, pre and post natal pilates.
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
To build my reputation, I have worked hard giving a good service and classes to my clients before thinking in numbers.
If I would have thought just in numbers and quantity of cleints instead quality of my classes, clients would choice me over all these years in Miami.
What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?
Continuing education, being a profesional and be patient
Maybe that way is longer, but results are more stable.
Be passionate and show it.
