The Business of Boutique Fitness

I’m Lise Kuecker, a long time Studio Owner turned founder here at Studio Grow. Just a few years ago, I was building my studios the hard way cause I didn’t have the team, the budget, or most importantly the time. If you speed up to today, I sold my wildly profitable studios in the mid-7 figures while serving my community in ways I could have only dreamed. Now, I work with thousands of boutique fitness studio owners in over 40 countries and am so blessed to share some of the best tested strategies for our industry every single week. I created this podcast so you’d always have clear, actionable processes, tried and tested Facebook advice and some good ole fashioned inspiration so that you can take simple actionable steps to grow your studio and turn it into a powerhouse empire, just like I did. If you’re a studio owner who's ready to impact your community and see major growth in the process, or you’re prepping to become one, then you are in the right place. So let’s kick this off, shall we?

Podcast has really dropped in quality

I used to love this podcast. Now it’s a lot of repeat content and “interviews” that sound like people reading from scripts. Super disappointing these days

Phenomenal

Ive been listening to Lise’s podcasts since 2016 and have learned SO MUCH from those alone! Ive taken her free courses & even joined a paid coaching program when finally opening my dream wellness center. I just love her content, her delivery, even her coaches and am so grateful!💛

Sometimes it’s Fire but...

Lately its a choppy mess more of a sales pitch than a episode.

And I'm not even into podcasts...

This podcast is truly essential for anyone operating a wellness business. The information provided in this podcast is truly invaluable. I found myself addicted - and I'm not a podcast person - and have listened to almost ALL of the episodes. I have applied so much of the information from Lisé's podcasts to my business and not only made more money, but created a more easeful lifestyle.

Love Lise!

I started listening to this podcast almost 2 years ago. As a pilates and Gyrotonic studio owner Lisa was speaking my language!! She truly understands the struggles of boutique fitness studio ownership and offers real tangible strategies on how to become more successful with less stress. She’s the best! ❤️

I’m hooked

Ive NEVER listened to podcasts before. I usually end up zoning out. This has been a must listen for me. I’ve relistened, followed through to web content, and appreciate the valuable information! The guests are well rounded and the content is clear! Love it.

Best resource for studio owners EVER!

I have learned so much from this podcast--the amount of helpful content that Lise gives away for free has helped me reconsider how I do business time and time again. Thank you, Lise!

Must-watch for business owners

I found this podcast through an interview she did with James Wedmore, online marketer genius. I am hooked! You'll be, too :) Lise has a breadth of knowledge that opens up fully on what works and what doesn't both online and with her brick-and-mortar companies. She's a natural at this entrepreneur game and should be a speaker on-stage. She's meanwhile very humble, which is rare for podcasters in this category. Her tips and advice are highly actionable. The podcast I just listened to on Google Advertising gave me a big "a-ha!" moment in my online business. Highly recommended podcast! Well done, Mrs. Kuecker. I can't wait to feed into your brain every week.

Just what a girlboss needs!

This podcast is inspiring, encouraging, and filled with the reminders of what it takes to make it as a total girl boss and to create an empire (and life) that you're proud of! The perfect way to spend an hour of my week!

Work Smart

I'm an engineer. This means that I'm a grinder. I follow the well-worn path, and I just put my head down and churn out the work. One thing I have learned: even if you have a great idea in business, it's not about working hard, it's about WORKING SMART. Lise gives you the ideas, concepts, and wisdom of how to take your idea and vision to a whole different level. She really helps you business plan for the 21st century by bringing in social media and out of the box thinking. A fabulous podcast for anyone who wants to stop the daily grind and learn a better way to do business.

Life-changing!

I can't believe you're giving away this info for FREE! Episode 2 was my favorite until I listened to episode 3! Determining how my dream day looks and finding balance with real life are 2 things I'm currently working on. Thanks, Lise, for being so transparent. If I can make 7-figures in 15 hour work weeks like you, THAT'S A WIN!!!!

Entrepreneurs, this is a MUST!

I'm a solo entrepreneur starting a Pilates focused business and Lise's advice is not only incredibly motivating and helpful but extremely relatable, which I whole-heartedly appreciate. She's open about her own struggles and how she overcame them. Her recollections of the roller coaster ride she's endured on her way to success are an inspiration and I can't wait to hear more of the tips, tricks, and life hacks she has to offer while I'm on my own journey. A big thanks to Lise and her team for this insightful work! Whether you're starting your own biz, are feeling some struggles with your existing business, or hope to take things to the next level, this podcast is an absolute MUST!
