Let's add some other news of my last two weeks.If you want to make money, it is now in studio's going under at an acclerated rate.
I've been to a large auction of a San Diego studio gone bankrupt and got great deals on equipment.Bought and delivered the same day
at a nice profit.
Bought a guillotine for $1000 off from a famous West Hollywood studio in foreclosure.
Owner may lose her house over that one.
Power Pilates teacher after spending a forturne getting certified, and $20,000 in Gratzequipment, opened and closed within a year. I did pay a high price for her Gratz but I didnt have any equipment in her gorgeous gunmetal, my current obsession.
Recently, Boca Raton's largest studio, just in February doing 300 classes a week, was closed down by the bank and reformers went for $1300 at another puclic auction.I would've flown there to pick up the deals
had I read the craigslist in florida.
Apparantly public auctions are the new deals.
Perhaps we should open a dialogue about budgets, egos, credit, lives ruined, topics that might help people get a reality check.
It is not my reality, but I dont have the model of work projected by the manufacturers,
their certification courses, and the ridiculous programs offered to offer you a career.
In the '80's it used to be the Beverly Hills pilates teachers on cocaine who would take clients advance on series and then leave town.
I'm saddened to see it such a practice now.
there are nice women, with nice little businesses, but that is all you are hearing about in each media outlet. Let's talk for real, folks.
