Opening a studio may be one of the biggest financial decisions you'll ever make.
You don't have to make it alone.
Studio in a Box helps aspiring studio owners avoid the hidden mistakes that quietly steal money, confidence, freedom, & years of mistakes, using decades of real-world experience before those lessons become your own.
Before You Invest Your Savings, Borrow My Experience.
Right now you're probably thinking about locations, equipment, branding, instructors, maybe even paint colors.
Those are important decisions.
But they're rarely the decisions that determine whether a studio becomes a business that gives you freedom or one that quietly drains your savings, confidence, and time.
For more than sixteen years, I've had a front-row seat to what builds thriving studios and what quietly undermines them.
I've seen the decisions owners celebrate years later, and the ones they wish they could take back before the ink was dry.
Those experiences didn't come from one studio.
They came from hundreds of conversations, real businesses, franchise systems, consulting work, and the women who trusted me with one of the biggest investments of their lives.
Studio in a Box is where those lessons now live.
Every framework, every checklist, every recommendation has been shaped by decisions that have already been tested in the real world. You're stepping into years of experience before you make the decisions that will shape your own business.
This Is For You If You Want To:
- Own your business and keep every dollar you earn
- Build a schedule, life & income of real freedom
- Open your studio with confidence backed by EXPERIENCE!
- Avoid the expensive mistakes that derail most first-time owners
Own a business that pays you well & the freedom to enjoy it.
Studio in a Box gives you the tools, support, and confidence to go from “I wish” to “I did it.”
Many women who open studios have already been very successful. They know how to work hard, lead teams, solve problems, and get results. I did too.
Most new studio owners spend months trying to figure out what to do next. They build spreadsheets from scratch. They search the internet for answers. They ask AI random questions and hope the answers apply to their situation. They piece together advice from dozens of places and still feel uncertain about the decisions they are making. Their biggest danger is that they don't know what they don't know!
Inside Studio in a Box, you get more than lessons.
You get custom business apps, tools, templates, and strategies built exclusively for boutique fitness studios. They show you what to do, what to decide, and what to watch for before a small mistake becomes an expensive one.
We help you create your plans, numbers, and next steps without starting from scratch or some generic internet template.
What could take you weeks of guessing can be done in minutes, with clear guidance from the experience of women who have already built studios before you.
Build a multi-six-figure studio without the big, costly mistakes - without wasting time and money on trial and error. Learn the proven systems, strategies, and operational frameworks that successful studios use to grow, attract loyal clients, and increase revenue.
And the best part? You can do it WITHOUT spending $50,000 on franchise fees or giving up 8–12% of your annual gross revenue. Instead of paying for a name, you’ll gain the knowledge, tools, and support to build a profitable studio that you fully own and control.
If you're ready to grow smarter, avoid the common pitfalls, and create a studio that truly works for you, let’s make it happen for YOU!

Staffing and Management Systems
Hands Off Studio Management
Build a studio that runs when you are not there.
- Create client welcome systems that attract first time clients.
- Build a CONVERSION system that gets those firs time clients to STAY. Most studios without these systems have less than 25% of their first time clients buy a new package. Get a system that changes that to 60-70%
- Build follow up systems, events, and packages that RETAIN clients for the life of your business.
- Hire for roles you don't want to play. You are opening this business to be the business owner - not to just buy yourself another job.
- Build a UNIQUE AND EFFECTIVE system that allows you to be the CEO versus the instructor, front desk manager, studio cleaner, trash taker outer, book keeper, accountant, AND social media manager - all at one time!
AI Integration for Studio Owners
Use AI to implement faster and smarter at every stage.

Most Programs Tell You What to Do.
We Built the Tools to Actually Do It With You.

You will input details such as:
Once your information is entered, the system instantly generates a complete financial dashboard showing exactly how your studio can perform.

Each projection is saved so you can adjust assumptions, test different scenarios, and refine your plan as you move forward.
Instead of guessing whether your studio idea will work, you will have clear financial projections that help you make confident decisions before you invest thousands of dollars into your studio.
These tools dramatically reduce the time, stress, and uncertainty involved in launching a studio. What normally requires hiring consultants, branding agencies, accountants, and marketers can now be done with guided tools built specifically for boutique fitness studios.

frequently asked questions
Going independent means you own everything. Your brand, your systems, your pricing, your profits. With a franchise, you’re often paying $50,000 to $100,000 upfront — plus ongoing royalties — just to follow someone else’s rules.
In Studio in a Box, I give you the exact tools, templates, and systems we’ve used to launch over 150 studios, without locking you into someone else’s brand or taking a cut of your revenue. You get the freedom and control you wanted when you first dreamed about opening a studio — but with a proven roadmap that eliminates the guesswork.
You’ll never be left to figure it out alone. Studio in a Box consulting includes direct access to me and my team, plus strategy calls, templates, AI tools, vendor lists, legal docs, and a complete marketing and launch plan.
This isn’t just a course. It’s the exact templates and guidance you’d get from the franchise. Whether you need help choosing a location, designing your pricing, hiring instructors, or launching your marketing — we’ve got you covered. And because I’ve personally launched studios across the country, I can help you adapt the strategy to your unique market.
Every market is different — but success doesn’t depend on luck. It depends on strategy. We’ve helped women launch studios in small towns, big cities, and everything in between — and the common denominator is clarity, confidence, and execution.
If you follow the process, ask questions when you need support, and use the tools inside Studio in a Box, you will open with more confidence, more savings, and more momentum than trying to piece this together alone. You don’t need to be an expert — you just need a proven plan.
Yes — and many of our clients are just like you. Studio in a Box was designed for busy, high-achieving women who are building their business alongside real-life responsibilities.
Instead of wasting hours Googling every decision, you’ll get a step-by-step system that cuts through the overwhelm. You can work at your own pace, and everything is broken down into doable, focused tasks — so you can make real progress in less time. Whether you're working nights, weekends, or mornings before the kids wake up, this program fits your life.
This is actually the best time to invest — because what you do in these early stages will either set you up for success… or lead to expensive mistakes. I’ve seen too many women sign leases too soon, overbuild their space, or choose the wrong location because they didn’t have the right information upfront.
Studio in a Box will walk you through every decision with clarity. You’ll validate your market, understand your numbers, and move forward with confidence. Waiting until you’ve signed a lease is often too late to correct the costly stuff. Start now and launch smart.
READY TO START?
LET'S DO THIS TOGETHER!
If you have been dreaming of the possibility of launching your own studio - and you are ready to take that next step, DON'T GO ALONE!
If you want the BEST business life has to offer, you find someone that has gone before you, and you get help achieving that dream!
I have been hiring mentors and coaches since my first year in business. My second studio was THREE TIMES MORE PROFITABLE than my first studio - because of all the lessons learned!
If you are considering opening up your own barre studio, I HIGHLY recommend Amy Mewborn and Studio In A Box!
I simply could not have done this without Amy’s knowledge, expertise, advice, humor and friendship. I was trying to decide between just the SIB Online and the Full Package, with added one-on-one time with Amy. After receiving a glowing testimonial from another client of Amy’s, my decision was simple - I went all in. It was one of the easiest (and best) decisions I have made.
In addition to her vast knowledge and experience (lease negotiations build out, staffing, marketing, etc.), Amy is honest, professional, personable, kind, and fun. Opening a studio has been my dream for the past 8 years. My investment in Amy and SIB has been worth every penny. She has been my consultant, my counsel, my guide, my rock and my friend. And that, is invaluable to me.

I’m not sure when Amy sleeps, but I know she never ignored a late night email or a desperate “what do I do?!” text message.
Studio in a Box was without a doubt the best money I have spent for my studio to date. Studio in a Box is fantastic; it walks you through your business plan, studio build out, hiring packets, and props. Literally, everything you need is in an online portal that walks you from step one to step 100. How to protect your brand by trademarking it, how to find employees, how to register your business with the state. Licenses and permitting and things that when I said I wanted to own a studio I never would have guessed, and I am a third generation entrepreneur! The logistics of business ownership - that is where Amy shines and where she saved me time and time again.
I’m not sure when Amy sleeps, but I know she never ignored a late night email or a desperate “what do I do?!” text message. There are things I would change about my process to studio ownership, but I would choose Studio in a box every time.
Good luck!

Past Client
Amy’s program is exceptional.
She is a very caring person. She goes above and beyond to assist and help you succeed. She provided every bit of feedback I requested when asking for assistance. Amy checked on me on a regular basis. I would highly recommend her program versus trying to wing it or go it alone. It is tough out there and if I had to do it all over again I would still have signed up for her program.
The most valuable pieces to me were the wealth of documents containing information that I needed prior to opening. This would include:
- the checklists
- the HR forms
- the ad templates for hiring
- the equipment links, etc
ALL OF THIS was extremely helpful!
In addition, I was able to take the information from the marketing and PR section and get free local media coverage for my events!
