I am a driven and passionate woman in my 30s, married with children, and committed to health and wellness. Despite a full-time job, I am pursuing my dream of opening a Pilates and Lagree studio with a crèche—a space that blends fitness and childcare to support parents on their wellness journey. My hobbies—exercise, cooking, reading, research, and travel—fuel my personal growth and creativity, shaping my perspective in meaningful ways. Enthusiastic and empathetic, I thrive on connecting with people and creating inspiring environments that uplift and empower others. My goal is to help individuals achieve balance in their lives, both physically and emotionally, through a holistic approach to wellness. With dedication and a strong work ethic, I look forward to turning my vision into a reality and fostering a supportive community where people feel motivated to prioritize their well-being.
I am seeking public support for my project,1019 Studios, an innovative Lagree fitness studio that aims to serve the community of South East London. Our primary audience consists of people aged 21-75 who live, work, or attend school in South East London, Bromley, and Kent. These people are motivated by a desire for a healthy mind and body, with interests in health, nutrition, fitness, and strength training.
The major challenges faced by my target customers are the high cost and lack of local Lagree studios. Currently, there are no Lagree studios in these areas, and the available options are often prohibitively expensive. As a result, many potential customers are unable to join a studio despite their interest. This is where 1019 Studios comes in.
At 1019 Studios, we will offer Lagree classes at reasonable prices, making them accessible to a broader audience. By hiring 2-3 qualified instructors, we can keep costs low while maintaining high-quality instruction. Additionally, as a mother of two, I understand the difficulty of finding childcare while trying to exercise. Therefore, our studio will feature a creche with a babysitter to ensure that moms can work out without worry.
There is a clear gap in the market for Lagree fitness based on location, affordability, and childcare. Our business model focuses on attracting more members through these unique advantages. We plan to market the studio by emphasizing its convenient location, competitive pricing, and on-site childcare.
In the future, we plan to expand our offerings to include hot/mat Pilates, pre-post natal studio sessions, and a wellness area, creating a one-stop shop for all things Lagree and Pilates. Our vision is to build a strong, supportive community where people can unwind and feel safe.
I am seeking grants, and public support to bring this vision to life and give back to the community. Your support will help us bridge the gap in the market and create a thriving fitness community in South East London.
