  • Episode 271: Craft a Constantly-Selling Offer Ladder for Your PT or Pilates Biz
    Jan 28 2025

    Welcome back to another episode of the Female EmPOWERED Podcast! I’m your host, Christa Gurka, and in today’s episode, we’re diving into a concept that can revolutionize your business: the “offer ladder” (also known as the “value ladder”). Whether you own a pelvic health physical therapy practice, run a Pilates studio, or operate another type of wellness business, having a strategic pricing structure that guides your customers from entry-level offers all the way up to premium services can unlock multiple revenue streams and sustainable growth.

    Ever wonder why some businesses effortlessly guide customers from a free resource to a premium, high-ticket offer? That’s the magic of an offer ladder. In this episode, you’ll learn...

    • How a multi-tiered pricing structure can grow with your clients and open up new revenue streams
    • Why free content might be your best tool for attracting the right audience and building trust
    • Real-world examples from pelvic health PT and Pilates studios—without giving away all the secrets
    • Simple steps to guide clients along each rung of your ladder, from low-cost entry points to premium services

    Join me as I share the do’s and don’ts, plus a behind-the-scenes look at my own offers. We’ll talk about how to keep clients moving up the ladder and why diversifying your price points is a game-changer for both your customers and your bottom line.

  • Episode 269: The $50K Problem: What an Undertrained Team is Really Costing Your Studio
    Jan 14 2025

    Welcome back to another episode of the Female EmPOWERED Podcast! I’m your host, Christa Gurka, and today we’re diving into a topic that could be costing you thousands (even hundreds of thousands) of dollars in missed revenue—an undertrained and underutilized team. I’m sharing real-life case studies from fitness and wellness businesses that have left more than $500,000 on the table simply because of team imbalances, low utilization, and lack of proper training.

    If you’re ready to plug these revenue leaks and drive your business forward, this episode is for you.


    Key Takeaways from the Episode

    1. Calculate True Available Hours
      • Take a hard look at your schedule: Who’s available, and when?
      • Analyze how clients are distributed across your team—are certain trainers or instructors overloaded while others have empty spots?
    2. Review Your Booking System
      • Remove any barriers to scheduling. Make it easy for clients to book online or via an app.
      • Simplify the process so people can reserve time with minimal friction.
    3. Assess Team Training and Development
      • Establish clear expectations, track performance, and provide ongoing education.
      • Ensure your team knows how to deliver the service clients expect—and hold them accountable for results.
    4. Align Marketing with Team Utilization
      • Don’t just attract new clients—make sure you’re filling each instructor’s schedule effectively.
      • Work with your marketing team to promote all services, not just your star players.
    5. Regularly Review Pricing and Compensation
      • Evaluate your membership options, class packages, and staff pay structure.
      • Optimizing these areas can add substantial revenue and keep your team motivated.
