We met Maura two years ago when she first joined the WellnessLiving family. Since then, she has seen immense growth in membership by almost quadruple<\/strong> the amount and saved nearly $10,000<\/strong> in software costs! With the help of our all-in-one yoga studio management software, 105F has skyrocketed to success.<\/p>\n

105F: Scaling a Multi-Location Hot Yoga Studio Built on Passion and Community<\/span><\/h2>\n

Bikram yoga has always been an integral part of Maura\u2019s life. Her introduction to this practice first began in 2005 when she started off as a student at 105F. \u201cI took yoga classes every day, sometimes twice a day!<\/strong>\u201d said Maura. The spark was immediate and there was no looking back!<\/p>\n

\"105F,
105F offers not only hot yoga classes, but also a range of other options such as vinyasa yoga, meditation, and even teacher training!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One year later, Maura quit her corporate job<\/strong> in sales and decided to dedicate her life to this practice. Soon, she got her yoga teacher training certificate and was ready to start helping others transform their lives. \u201cI wanted to change my life<\/strong>,\u201d she told us. And after just five years, Maura played a pivotal role in opening 105F<\/a>\u2019s third location and became the director of this incredible organization.<\/p>\n

The facility now offers not only hot yoga classes, but also a range of other options such as vinyasa yoga, meditation, and even teacher training! Expanding their reach was important so they could cater to people who want to improve their lives in whatever way they choose. At 105F, there is truly something for everyone<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Struggling with MindBody\u2019s Complexity, Reporting Gaps, and Costly Add-Ons<\/span><\/h2>\n

With a growing and thriving business, the need for a reliable software system became imperative. They decided to give MindBody a try, but soon realized it could not satisfy all their needs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For example, instead of streamlining services, the system was slow and time-consuming<\/strong>, \u201cIt would take ten clicks to buy a towel, not a really great user experience.\u201d Plus, the system was not intuitive which caused even more issues and complications when students or members of staff tried to use the software.<\/p>\n

Coming from a sales background, Maura knew the importance of a proper system to help launch their online store. This integration is crucial to allowing them to achieve certain goals. So, when this also proved extremely difficult to use, frustrations began to build<\/strong>. Additionally, Maura wanted to keep track of sales through reports by location, but this was another impossibility with MindBody<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe turning point was the lack of the quality of support<\/strong>,\u201d Maura told us. \u201cThat was definitely a kicker.\u201d She found it very hard to get in touch with customer support and felt like she was being left in the dark.<\/p>\n

Maura knew there had to be an alternative<\/a> system that would be able to help her meet her needs and achieve her business goals. Eventually, she found WellnessLiving and the rest is history!<\/p>\n

Switching from MindBody to WellnessLiving for Faster Operations and Smarter Marketing<\/span><\/h2>\n

After making the transition from MindBody to WellnessLiving, Maura and her partners at 105F have enjoyed a wide range of options<\/strong> like our automated marketing features and a custom branded client app, as well as our company\u2019s customer-focused<\/strong> nature. Now their workflow is much smoother and more streamlined.<\/p>\n

\"105F,
Perhaps one of the biggest factors that Maura and her team love is the idea that WellnessLiving is extremely customer-centric.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cI really like WellnessLiving\u2019s marketing capabilities<\/strong>, because you can customize emails for the client depending on their purchase options. I think that\u2019s really cool,\u201d Maura told us. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t something we were able to have with MindBody without paying extra<\/strong>. As a result, we were able to save nearly $10,000 on software<\/strong> with all our locations! That was a big chunk of change that we can not only save but also benefit from.\u201d With a variety of automated marketing options, 105F was able to attract more customers and grow their customer base.<\/p>\n

Maura and her team also love WellnessLiving\u2019s mobile options<\/a>. By providing flexibility and convenience, she can manage their business from anywhere<\/strong>! \u201cI have it at my fingertips just to see when the classes are and who\u2019s teaching. I like it.\u201d Maura also loves how the Achieve Client App<\/a> created more engagement with her business, streamlining her students\u2019 interactions with her studio.<\/p>\n

Perhaps one of the biggest factors that Maura and her team love is the idea that WellnessLiving is extremely customer-centric. \u201cI like that the communication is all about us, the clients<\/strong>. If a client wants a certain feature, WellnessLiving does their best to build that software,\u201d Maura told us. And especially now with WellnessLiving\u2019s Community Forum, business owners are now able to leave comments and make suggestions for features they would like to see.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith WellnessLiving I don\u2019t feel like a number<\/strong>. I feel like everyone knows who I am, and it feels good.\u201d We are so glad that Maura\u2019s business is continuing to grow and blossom and can\u2019t wait for what the future has in store!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
