Colin Martin,
Studio Manager
of the STOTT PILATES Toronto Corporate Training Center responds:
While some clients are dedicated for life, others may fall in and out of their routine due to a number of reasons; busy schedule, finances, lack of motivation etc. To re-attract your former clientele, your best bet is to keep your marketing simple and serve-up an offer they can’t pass up! Here are three offers that we’ve used at the Toronto Studio and Corporate Training Center – which have all been very successful.
I hope you find these suggestions helpful and that they work to your advantage – all the best in the New Year!

The Footbars on STOTT PILATES Reformers are sturdy, secure and provide body weight support at multiple levels across the front of your Reformer. After frequent use, the fasteners for the Footbar mechanism may loosen a touch and as a result, the Footbar may slightly angle upwards at one end.
To straighten and level your Footbar, simply follow our suggested procedure:
Loosen all socket head cap screws and/or bolts couple of turns on the long and swing arm supports arms of the Footbar. Have an assistant apply downward pressure to the Footbar while the socket-headed cap screws and nuts are being tightened. It is important to apply an equal amount of torque force on all fasteners to assure that the Footbar is restored back to its original horizontal alignment.
