Introduction
In the midst of the pandemic’s aftermath, Pilates on Collingwood Street set out to build a community-based fitness studio where people felt at home. As the studio grew, so did the demand for more consistent and engaging content on social media. But managing this content manually soon became unsustainable. The team needed a way to maintain a strong online presence while still focusing on what mattered most: connecting with clients. That’s when RecurPost entered the picture and made all the difference.
The Challenge
When Pilates on Collingwood Street first launched, the social media strategy was entirely hands-on. The team managed posts and content creation themselves, but it quickly became clear that doing it all manually was taking a toll. Keeping up with social media while running day-to-day operations became overwhelming. The challenge wasn’t just about keeping content fresh—it was about maintaining consistency and engagement while staying true to the studio’s personal, community-focused approach.
“We were posting when we could, but it was hard to stay consistent. We needed a way to streamline everything and keep our community engaged without burning out,” explains the team.
The Solution
The introduction of RecurPost transformed the studio’s approach to social media management. The recurring posting feature allowed the team to automate the scheduling of key updates, such as class schedules, exercise tips, and client testimonials, without sacrificing the personal touch that their audience loved. With a set-and-forget system in place, the team could focus on real-time content and personal interactions with clients.
“We saw immediate results,” says the team. “RecurPost took care of the repetitive tasks, freeing us up to focus on what we’re truly passionate about: building relationships with our clients.”
Additionally, RecurPost’s categorization feature allowed the team to plan their content quarterly and stay organized, ensuring that everything aligned with their business goals.
The Impact
Business Growth: The results were immediate and measurable. After integrating RecurPost, Pilates on Collingwood Street saw a 25% increase in bookings and overall client engagement. The automation of social media allowed the team to maintain consistency, resulting in higher visibility and more interactions with their posts.
“RecurPost helped us stay connected with our community, even during slow periods. Engagement rates have increased by 20%, which has made a huge difference in our retention and acquisition,” says the team.
Content Strategy: The studio’s content shifted towards storytelling, sharing client success stories and personal experiences that resonated with their audience. The more they embraced these authentic narratives, the stronger the community response became.
“Storytelling has been a game-changer for us. Our clients’ experiences, especially with our ‘Aging Strong’ program, have been incredibly powerful in attracting new members.”
The Human Side of Automation
Automation through RecurPost didn’t just improve the studio’s efficiency—it also reignited the team’s passion for their work. With fewer hours spent on operational tasks, the team could focus on innovation and client care. “It wasn’t just about automating tasks—it was about giving our team more space to grow and be creative,” reflects the team.
By reclaiming time, the team was able to design new programs, improve client relationships, and foster a deeper sense of community within the studio.
Conclusion
Pilates on Collingwood Street’s experience with RecurPost demonstrates how powerful automation can be when combined with a clear vision. By streamlining social media management, the studio not only increased engagement but also gained more time to focus on the core aspects of their business: their clients and their community.
