ACCOUNTANCY FOR REFORMER PILATES STUDIOS
Specialist accountant for Reformer Pilates studios
Running a busy Reformer Pilates studio and running a profitable one aren’t necessarily the same thing.
You’ve got a limited number of reformer beds, a fixed number of spaces in every class and only so many classes you can realistically fit into the timetable.
Then there’s studio rent, instructor costs, equipment, memberships, class packs, software, VAT and everything else that needs to be paid before you see what the studio is actually making.
At Koyn, I specialise in accountancy and financial planning for fitness businesses, including Reformer Pilates studios across the UK. I’ll help you understand the numbers behind your studio, what it’s actually making and what needs to happen financially to get you where you want to go.

Full classes don’t automatically mean healthy profits
A packed timetable looks great.
But how much is each class actually making you?
Once you’ve paid the instructor, accounted for your premises and other overheads, and considered the mix of memberships, class packs and individual bookings, the answer might be very different from the amount coming through your booking system.
And empty reformers matter too.
With a fixed number of spaces available in each class, understanding your capacity and how much of it you’re actually using can make a big difference to your profitability.
I want you to understand more than how busy the studio feels. I want you to know what the studio needs to earn, what you’re actually making and whether your current pricing and timetable are giving you the business you want.
Know your numbers before you make your next move
Running a fitness studio means making financial decisions all the time.
- Can you afford another instructor or member of staff?
- Would adding more classes actually increase your profit?
- Are you charging enough?
- How many people do you need in each class for it to make financial sense?
- Can you afford to invest in new equipment?
- And is the business ready for a bigger space or another location?
Those decisions shouldn’t be based solely on how busy the studio feels or what’s sitting in the bank account.
I’ll help you understand what the business can actually afford, so you can make those decisions with the numbers behind you.
More than just your year-end accounts
Of course, I’ll make sure the accountancy side of your business is taken care of.
But your numbers are much more useful when we look at them throughout the year, not months after your financial year has ended.
Your accounts tell us what’s already happened. I want your numbers to help you plan what happens next.
Depending on the level of support you need, that could mean looking at:
- How profitable your studio actually is
- What the business needs to earn each month
- Membership and class income
- Instructor and staffing costs
- Pricing and class capacity
- Cash flow and what’s coming up
- Planning ahead for VAT and tax
- Paying yourself properly
- Budgeting and forecasting
- Planning for equipment, premises or expansion
Accountancy support that grows with your fitness studio
Not every studio needs the same level of financial support.
You might simply want to know that your bookkeeping, accounts and tax are taken care of while having a clear picture of where your business stands financially. Or you might want regular management accounts, financial planning and someone to sit down with you throughout the year to review your numbers and plan ahead.
That’s why Koyn has three levels of ongoing support:
Foundation

From £175 per month
Performance

DIGITAL COURSE
Planning to open your own fitness studio?
The best time to get your numbers right is before you open the doors.
Before you commit to premises, equipment and everything else that comes with opening a studio, you need to understand what the business will actually cost to set up and run.
You also need to know how much the studio needs to earn, how that translates into clients or memberships and how long your money needs to last while the business gets established.
The Gym & Studio Financial Roadmap is a step-by-step digital course that helps you work through your start-up costs, monthly costs, Financial Target, VAT planning, cash flow and your first 12-month Financial Roadmap, before looking ahead to investment, hiring and sustainable growth.

Already have an accountant but need a financial plan?
You don’t necessarily need to change accountants to get more clarity over your numbers.
Maybe you’re thinking about hiring, investing in equipment, changing your timetable, moving premises or expanding the business. Or perhaps the studio is busy and bringing in good revenue, but you’re not seeing enough of that money yourself.
The Growth Accelerator is my one-off financial strategy service for studio owners who want to step away from the day-to-day and look properly at where the business is now and where they want it to go. Together, we’ll turn that into clear priorities and a financial plan you can actually use.
