When a slick new fitness Pilates franchise opens near your studio, do you feel that sinking “not again” dread? This episode offers a refreshing, strategic way to reframe the competition and thrive in its shadow.
In this premiere episode of the David and Goliath series, host David Gunther is joined by global business coach Craig Maginness to unpack what it really means to compete against, and coexist with, giant fitness Pilates franchises.
Craig and David break down how clinical Pilates studios can win by understanding and owning their unique value proposition. This isn’t just about surviving the market, it’s about redefining it.
💡 What You’ll Learn
✔️ Why the “Goliath” isn’t just one franchise, but a whole army of fitness alternatives
✔️ How your value proposition sets your price ceiling (and not the competition’s rates)
✔️ The key difference between creating value vs. controlling cost
✔️ How to attract ideal clients who say “this is what I’ve been searching for”
✔️ Why not everyone is your customer and why that’s a good thing
