Least popular class time? 3PM
Clients are busiest during the mid-afternoon, which is why we call the 1PM–3PM window off-peak hours. This marks a good time for boutique studios to catch up on operations and admin tasks.
When your busiest classes start at once, the front desk can’t afford to slow down. Mariana Tek keeps check-in and sales quick, so your team can stay focused on the people in front of them. Learn more.
Classes taken before converting to membership
This is 24% higher than the national average, and 37% higher than the number of classes required to convert to membership in the Southeast. Clients in these major metropolitan areas are shopping around! Northeast metro clients have more options easily available, and it takes more work for studios to convert them to brand loyalists.
If it takes nearly seven classes to turn a client into a member, every visit is a chance to make them feel known. Mariana Tek helps your team recognize first-timers, celebrate progress and give clients reasons to come back, so they choose your studio over the next one.
Top boutique modalities
Pilates (including Lagree and Megaformer) is the most popular boutique workout in the region with 44% of studios offering this modality. 26% of studios offer more than one modality—lower than the national average of 34%—showing that Northeast metro studios are more likely to specialize.
Revenue mix by city
Mariana Tek studios in the New York Metropolitan area have the highest average monthly revenue in the region, generating an average of $59,000 per month. Of all cities, NYC also generates the largest percentage of revenue from credits.
