That can make funding new premises challenging without putting pressure on cash flow. The cost … Read more

Classes fill up, waiting lists start to form, and demand continues to grow, but the studio only has so many reformer beds available. At some point, increasing capacity means investing in more equipment. The difficulty is that quality reformer beds represent a significant investment. Once … Read more
