We’re back from FIBO.

After spending time inside one of the biggest fitness events in Europe, we wanted to sit down and talk through what actually stood out — not just what looked impressive in the moment, but what we think holds up once you step back into a real studio.

Because events like this can be exciting, but they can also be overwhelming. There’s a lot of energy, a lot of innovation, and a constant stream of things that promise to be the next big thing.

Some of it is genuinely interesting... and some of it, not so much.

In this episode, we’re sharing what we felt was thoughtful, what didn’t quite land for us, and how we’re making sense of it all after having a bit of distance from the noise.

We talk about the trends that seem to be growing, the areas where we think the industry is moving too fast, and where the human side of coaching still really matters.

If you’re a teacher or a studio owner, this is less about what you should copy, and more about how to think clearly when you’re exposed to so many ideas at once.

Because not everything that looks impressive at a big event translates into something meaningful in your day-to-day work.

Before FIBO: What We’re Looking For (And Questioning)

We’re heading back to FIBO this year, and before we go, we wanted to take a moment to talk through what we’re actually paying attention to this time around.

If you’ve ever been to something like FIBO, you know how overwhelming it can be. There’s so much happening at once — new ideas, new equipment, new concepts — and it’s very easy to get caught up in what looks exciting in the moment.

We felt that last year. There was a lot that was inspiring, but also a lot that made us pause and question what we were really looking at.

So this episode isn’t a recap, and it’s not about listing trends. It’s more about the lens we’re bringing with us this time.

We’re talking about what we’re hoping to find, what we’re a little more skeptical about, and how we try to filter all of that through the reality of teaching, working with real clients, and running a studio.

Because not everything that looks impressive actually translates into something meaningful long term.

And at the end of the day, that’s really the question we’re interested in — what actually holds up once you leave the event and come back into your own space?

We’ll come back after FIBO and share what we found, what surprised us, and what we’re still questioning.

If we were starting the studio again today, we wouldn’t necessarily do more. But, we would do things differently.

In this episode of The Pilates Exchange, Hannah and Christian reflect on the early days of building their studio — the decisions they made, the mistakes they learned from, and the clarity that only comes with time and experience.

Because building a studio is not just about programming, schedules, or growth.

It’s about creating something that is sustainable — for you and for your community.

If you’re a studio owner, thinking about opening a space, or somewhere in the middle of building something, this episode offers a more honest look at what that process can feel like — and what we would approach differently if we had the chance to begin again.
