In this blog, we explore the many advantages of using the Trainin app. In the dynamic world of sport and fitness, technology has become an indispensable ally. Trainin is at the forefront of this revolution with an app specifically designed to support fitness entrepreneurs — such as coaches, studios, and gyms — and help elevate your fitness business to the next level.
📈 Yoga & Pilates Are Mainstream Fitness Activities
Yoga has been one of the most widely practiced fitness activities in the Netherlands for years, attracting tens of thousands of practitioners annually. It appeals to a broad audience—from young to old—seeking strength, flexibility, and relaxation.
Pilates — and Reformer Pilates in particular — is currently experiencing a new wave of popularity worldwide and in the Netherlands as well. More and more studios are opening their doors, classes are filling up quickly, and demand is clearly increasing.
Reformer Pilates combines traditional Pilates principles with specialized equipment that effectively trains core strength, posture, and mobility. This makes it especially appealing to people looking for something different from classic gym workouts.
🌟 Social media plays a role here: hashtags such as #pilatesprincess, influencer videos, and celebrity endorsements all contribute to the visibility of these disciplines.
💡 What’s involved in starting a Pilates / Reformer or Yoga studio?
Starting your own studio is more than just renting a space and teaching classes—there’s a significant amount of organization and administration involved:
📍 1. Location & space
You need a suitable space with sufficient floor area and (for reformer studios) room for multiple machines. Reformer machines are relatively expensive and take up a lot of space, so careful planning of the layout is essential.
🧑🏫 2. Certified instructors
For high-quality classes—especially Reformer Pilates—proper training and certification of instructors are crucial for both safety and reputation. Not all “Pilates instructors” have the same background or level of expertise, which can impact customer satisfaction.
🗓️ 3. Class schedules & bookings
Planning group classes, private sessions, or workshops requires a clear and flexible schedule that is available online, allowing customers to easily book and cancel sessions.
💳 4. Payments & memberships
From single classes to memberships, class packs, and recurring payments—the financial side needs to be handled smoothly and transparently.
👥 5. Marketing & customer retention
Attracting and retaining new customers requires consistent effort across social media, a professional website, reviews, and a strong studio positioning.
🔧 Why you really want to use a system like Trainin
When you start or grow a studio, managing all these aspects can become extremely time-consuming and complex—especially if you do it manually or with disconnected tools. This is where a dedicated software solution like Trainin makes a real difference.
