Word of mouth has a ceiling.

Era Pilates was already established. New clients came in through word of mouth and seasonal sales.

Both work. Neither is steady. The studio wanted a reliable flow of new clients, not just a busy month whenever a sale ran.

( What we built )

An easy first class. A reason to come back.

( 01 )

Lead Generation (Meta)

Meta lead campaigns built around a 3 class intro offer for $60. A low price and a clear first step, in front of the right local audience.

( 02 )

Video Content

Professional and UGC video of the instructors and the space, so people knew who would teach them and where before they ever booked.

( 03 )

Google Ads

Google Ads to catch people already searching for Pilates.

( 04 )

CRM + Lead Follow Up

Every lead captured and followed up in a CRM, so no inquiry went cold.

( 05 )

Email + SMS Retargeting

Email and SMS retargeting for leads who didn’t buy straight away, keeping the studio in front of them until they were ready.

The Stellr Growth System. One partner. Every channel. One goal: members.

Try it before you commit.

  • A $60 intro let people try reformer without committing to a membership
  • Real video of the instructors and the space built trust before the first class
  • Retargeting kept a database of 1,400+ leads warm until they were ready

690 leads. 295 intros. 80 members.

From December 26, 2025 to July 6, 2026, about six months:

  • $6,073 in ads brought in 690 leads at $8.80 per lead
  • 295 of them bought the $60 intro offer, at $20.59 per intro
  • 80 became members at $76 per member
  • A 12.9x return on ad spend
The math

$6,073 in ads returned 12.9x. A $60 intro opened the door, and follow up turned first timers into members.

( The takeaway )

Word of mouth is a start. Make trying easy.

An established studio doesn’t need a reinvention. It needs a simple offer, real content and follow up that never stops. That’s how Era Pilates turned a $60 intro into 80 members.
