Why Booking Direct Matters: A Personal Story from Good Body Pilates

At Good Body Pilates, we love seeing new faces in our classes, but not all booking platforms treat boutique studios fairly. While we use Wellhub, which pays our standard class rate, many third-party apps pay far less leaving small studios struggling to cover costs and fairly compensate instructors.

This September, during Boutique Fitness Loyalty Month, we’re joining studios across LA to encourage direct bookings. Every class you book directly helps support your favorite instructors, keeps our studio thriving, and strengthens our local wellness community.
