With the help of WellnessLiving, Lindy Irwin built her dream business with incredible online visibility in just a year and a half. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Lindy Irwin Turned a Lifelong Passion for Movement into Authentic Pilates of Austin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lindy Irwin started practicing Pilates over 20 years ago when a lifetime of ballet had taken its toll on her body. \u201cI was exposed to it through supplemental conditioning for dance,\u201d Lindy told us when we spoke to her about her Pilates studio. \u201cI had bad Achilles tendonitis. A lot of my joints were starting to become inflamed from all the repetitive movement. It just wasn\u2019t serving my body anymore. That\u2019s when I really started delving into the Pilates on a consistent basis.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Lindy Irwin has a Bachelor’s in Nursing and Ballet. With a truly comprehensive understanding and passion for physical wellness, Lindy is taking the Pilates world by storm.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

When Lindy discovered the positive physical and mental effects that Pilates had on her, she truly fell in love. \u201cIt\u2019s carried me through everything. I\u2019ve really come at it from the healing perspective<\/strong>, empowering people to become stronger and more conditioned, but also healing them on a multi-level layer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning to school and earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing to go along with her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ballet<\/strong>, Lindy was focused on her career as a nurse of vascular surgery<\/strong>. \u201cThat whole experience, everything from my rotations in my education to working in vascular surgery, really gave me a whole new appreciation for the physiological benefits of Pilates. That\u2019s where I learned even more about physiological health and all the organs, and how Pilates was really targeting that as much as the muscular and skeletal system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a genuine understanding of Pilates\u2019s effect on the human body and a true passion for healing<\/strong>, Lindy developed a dream. For 8 years, she imagined the studio she would one day build. \u201cI kind of held that vision for a long time, because I had a very specific vision of what I wanted. Which was a home garden studio with an intimate and personal feel, where I am not at the whimsy of commercial control.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so, Authentic Pilates of Austin was born.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the past year and a half, Lindy happily ran her beautiful garden studio. \u201cI have a whole new appreciation for seeing an entire body through a very refined lens. I analyze movement in detail, but also learn a lot about the body of the person in front of me when they\u2019re moving, because the body tells the truth<\/strong>. It reveals all sorts of things. From there, we start to find their road-map back to health or greater health or whatever they are coming for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Managing a Growing Studio with Acuity Scheduling: Too Limited, Too Frustrating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the owner of a brand-new Pilates studio, Lindy had a lot on her plate.<\/strong> From connecting to potential students, retaining new clients, to billing and scheduling–everything had to be built from scratch. Lindy knew that she couldn\u2019t do it alone. She needed a proper business management solution to help her get everything started and keep it running smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, Lindy tried out Acuity. She hoped that some assistance with her scheduling would free up some of her time<\/strong> to focus on growing her business and serving her clients. \u201cThat quickly became a train wreck,\u201d Lindy told us. \u201cIt was just not working. The setup was lacking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desperate for an option that would help her with proper scheduling for her growing studio, Lindy turned to her friends. Fellow Pilates studio owner and close friend Erica Walters gave Lindy some advice that would forever change her business. \u201cShe had started with WellnessLiving and really recommended it. I went ahead, and it\u2019s been absolutely great.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With her new software system all setup and ready to go, Lindy was ready to focus her attention on her true passion: helping her clients through her business.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

As an artist and biology expert, software and technology didn’t start off as Lindy’s strong suit. And at first, she was intimidated by the potential learning curve WellnessLiving<\/a> presented. Luckily, the intuitive software and knowledgeable staff<\/strong> at WellnessLiving were able to help her through the challenge of learning a new software system. \u201cI was doing something that\u2019s out of my realm. But it was super user-friendly and easy to catch on<\/strong>. And the onboarding team was awesome. And then all the tech support after that has been nothing but amazing and super friendly, super helpful. I never get off a call without my questions answered.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With her new software system all set up and ready to go, Lindy was ready to focus her attention on her true passion: helping her clients through her business. Thanks to WellnessLiving, she was able to do that. \u201cThe more efficient processes we have, the more we can be present and live in the moment, and that\u2019s what WellnessLiving does for me as a studio owner.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lindy\u2019s clients were as pleased as she was with all the new options available to them. \u201cI love it. My clients love it. It gives them full autonomy as far as scheduling. They find it super-efficient, very customer-friendly<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

In the next several months, Lindy is planning to start making use of the rewards program offered by WellnessLiving to further encourage client loyalty.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

With her current clients happy, Lindy was able to spare some attention to focus on growth. Her new business would not survive without a constant influx of new clients. She needed more visibility. Fortunately, WellnessLiving was able to help her with that as well. \u201cI am a small, boutique garden studio, so I don\u2019t have the visibility in a commercial shopping area space\u2026I\u2019ve had a lot of people who have just gone on and signed up and come in for an intro package or an initial session. It was because they found me online<\/strong>, and WellnessLiving made it that easy for them to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the next several months, Lindy is planning to start making use of the rewards program<\/a> offered by WellnessLiving to further encourage client loyalty. \u201cI\u2019ve turned all the switches on, and I know that my clients are accruing those reward points. Now I just need to start determining what I\u2019m going to honor and all of that. That\u2019s definitely something I want to utilize for the clients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
