Building a successful Pilates studio isn't just about attracting more clients, it's about creating the systems that allow your business to grow without compromising it's culture or client experience. In

Episode 50 of the Nathan Ross Rees Reformer Podcast, Nathan sits down with Rayna Gillott, founder of Pilates Haus, to discuss how she grew her business from a single studio into a thriving network of studios, employing 25 staff members and serving a strong coastal community.

Since opening Pilates Haus in 2019, Rayna has learnt that sustainable business growth comes from building systems, developing people, and creating a clear vision for the future. Rather than relying on the founder to manage every detail, successful businesses empower their teams with the structure and responsibility needed to deliver a consistent client experience.

Throughout the conversation, Rayna shares how implementing effective systems has enabled her to step back from day-to-day operations while maintaining the high standards that define the Pilates Haus brand.

Nathan and Rayna also discuss the importance of leadership, delegation, and creating a workplace where instructors feel trusted to make decisions and take ownership of their roles. As businesses grow, the ability to empower others becomes one of the most valuable skills a studio owner can develop.

Whether you're operating one studio or planning to expand into multiple locations, this episode provides practical insights into building a business that is scalable, sustainable, and built for long-term success.
