How would clients react if you replaced their reformer class with a chair class?
I am managing a pilates/yoga studio. Our Pilates Reformer room can only fit 5 machines, limiting the size and income of the class. I am considering replacing the reformers with chairs in order to increase the capacity of the class. Would clients who do regular reformer classes be happy to switch to regular chair classes?
Hello Zayd,
students rarely react positively to change, and if this class it typically full, you will probably have a fight on your hands. Will the participants have other options to take a reformer class or will they be replaced entirely? That would make things worse.
The only suggestion I have is to involve the regular participants in the decision-making process so that they can ‘own’ the change.
Good luck with that one.
