Here are some of our top tactics for a popular workshop and studio event and a few creative ideas to motivate and inspire your studio community no matter their goals and time of year. 

Three ways to enhance your studio enrollment experience 

Keep the experience top of mind while showcasing how meaningful the workshop is long after it’s over

1. Interactive elements 

The best way to keep your participants engaged is to include activities that put what you are showcasing and teaching into practice. 

• For example, hands-on activities can include nutritional demos, fitness challenges, and guided meditations. 

2. Personalized plans and guidance 

Your clients are looking for takeaways from your enrollments, whether deepening their yoga practice, perfecting a handstand, or learning a new wellness practice. 

• Offer attendees personalized fitness and nutrition plans, providing them with specific guidance tailored to their needs. 

3. Follow-up support

Once they leave your enrollment, it’s time to keep the education going—and it will help boost engagement and signups for the next studio workshop.

• Provide resources for ongoing support, such as access to online groups, proactively schedule the subsequent studio sessions, or offer digital resources.

With 82% of consumers currently viewing wellness as a top priority and 58% prioritizing wellness more than they did a year ago—hello full-body well-being!—creating, scheduling, and selling enrollments that go beyond just the physical part of your studio’s offerings can be beneficial to your clients, retention, and revenue. Why not offer your members what they want inside your studio doors without them going elsewhere? 

Here are some ideas for studio workshops that combine motivation with practical advice and engaging activities that can elevate every element of your member's and community’s well-being:
