3 STUDIOS IN JUST 9 MONTHS
One of the things we love the most about our Studio Pilates studio owners is the diverse range of professional backgrounds they each come from. One of those is Tammy-Jo Hunter, a qualified physiotherapist who opened three Studio Pilates studios in just 9 months and is already on track to open her fourth.
Tammy-Jo is an absolute force to be reckoned with and broke a Studio Pilates record for the highest number of studios opened by a single franchisee in less than a year.
Her background in physiotherapy and interest in the human body is what initially drove her curiosity for opening a Pilates studio, and after doing her research and taking just one class, she quickly discovered that Studio Pilates was the most compelling option.
“Given Studio Pilates just had their 20th birthday I knew they had a well developed and mature product. That is priceless and helps manage the risk associated with launching a business, as I had wanted to do for quite some time. As my first studio approaches a year, this is evident while the headquarters continues to innovate and improve.”
While opening 1 studio in a year is a achievement in itself, opening 3 in 9 months is an incredible accomplishment,
“The rapid expansion has forced me to take a shoot then aim approach, but now with the frantic launches behind us, the aiming has commenced. I’m happy to say results have been very pleasing as we settle into a steady state and build on our early success. This truly explosive, fun and dynamic year was made possible with a successful business model and supportive SPI HQ team.”
Tammy-Jo found her feet in no time at all and has a long list of loyal clients who can’t get enough of the physio-backed classes. For this reason, Tammy-Jo is on track to open her fourth Studio Pilates studio, further expanding her investment portfolio.
