Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Brandi Rhodes. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Brandi, thanks for joining us today. Can you talk to us about your team building process? How did you recruit and train your team and knowing what you know now would you have done anything differently?
I started the Naked Mind team from the ground up. We now have around 30 teachers and employees. The most important thing to me was to make sure that everyone that encounters clients shares the same mentality: kindness, passion for their work and passion for the studio. You have to love yoga + Pilates yourself to best serve your clients. You have to understand it and care about it to best serve and bring out the best in others trying to learn. Not everyone sees it this way, but we do, and I think that’s why our clients are happy to call us their fitness home.
Brandi, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Naked Mind Yoga + Pilates was created and founded by former pro wrestler Brandi Rhodes. She wanted to bring these means of movement and exercise that were so helpful in her career to others and help them find an area of fitness to become passionate about. naked Mind is just over a year old and is based in Roswell GA. It offers yoga, Pilates reformer classes and child care for members, all under one roof. As a mother to a 3 year old daughter, with a traveling husband (WWE Champion Cody Rhodes) Brandi understands what it’s like to need support in taking care of oneself and wishes to help extend that to others so they can prioritize themselves and their families at the same time!
How did you build your audience on social media?
My studio social media is completely separate from my public persona social media. It’s a lot smaller, but I believe we have to cater to the audience that you want to grow. So we don’t lean into my wrestling background (although you will sometimes see my wrestling friends or my husband in the studio randomly because they love it here!) but we choose to focus on the service we provide and the client experience. It’s really second to none!
Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?
The customer experience is 100% what has built our reputation. We are so focused on our clients and their satisfaction and happiness, it just speaks for itself. We are so grateful for every person that comes to try us and decides to stay with us. So we do little things (and big things at times) to keep them coming back. Many times they tell their friends and family and it just continues to grow from there.
