THE SHORT ANSWER
Reconcile fulfilled classes, access and training collections with continuing teachers, premises and program costs before estimating yoga/Pilates studio value. Match closed evidence on earnings and included assets. Public dance/fitness observations combine several studio models and do not isolate yoga or Pilates. Community size, prepaid packages and equipment purchase cost do not independently establish business value.
Match studio models and sold financial definitions
BizBuySell’s studio category combines dance, yoga, Pilates, HIIT and other models.
(BizBuySell: dance and fitness-studio sold benchmarks)The reviewed mixed-studio table shows the dated reported sold owner-earnings observations and their scope. It is not an isolated yoga/Pilates or platform EBITDA range. Obtain relevant closed studios matching offered programs, geography, scale, teacher/owner work, premises, equipment and assets; record unknown fields rather than importing a universal multiple.
Distinguish owner-operator SDE from earnings after necessary teaching/training/management coverage. Record sold versus asking and what the price includes. Teacher credentials, studio age, a reformer count, branded curriculum or strategic buyer do not independently choose a premium.
Reconcile fulfilled classes and training economics
Separate membership access, group/private classes, workshops, teacher training and products on consistent periods. Trace agreements, fulfilled/access periods, invoices, discounts, credits, cancellations/refunds and payment failures to receipts and accounts. Explain prepaid cash and future services with the accountant; scheduled attendance and sold packages are separate from fulfilled and collected work.

| Distinct specified booking/payment costs | −$30 |
| Remainder after these specified group costs | $120 |
Reconcile training-program collections with delivered curriculum, materials, preparation/support and continuing qualified people; credentials and provider rights need separate verification.
Include permanent work and consistent assets
Use the coverage worksheet to map owner instruction, training/program preparation, scheduling, sales, administration and support. Reconcile staff/providers, benefits, supplies, insurance, premises, utilities, payment/software, marketing and shared costs. Verify qualified available people and recurring capacity beyond temporary seller training.
Support adjustments through the earnings bridge. Do not remove every owner salary, vehicle or renovation cost, or deduct included payroll twice. Inspect reformers/equipment, fixtures and build-out appropriately for ownership/leases/liens, condition and required investment. Define included assets and any separately offered property with consistent operating occupancy costs; do not add equipment or goodwill already included in a comparison.
Verify rights and price remaining package duties
FTC security guidance addresses necessary access and protected information handling.
(FTC: protecting personal information in business)Use approved aggregate/redacted evidence. Have privacy/legal advisors determine permitted member/personnel records, access, notices, custody/retention and migration; an NDA alone does not permit uploading sensitive identifiable files. Historic community size and economic goodwill are separate from permitted record rights and future renewal.
Use the consent register for actual brand/curriculum/material, training/provider, booking/payment, premises and buyer/authority conditions. Review franchise terms separately where relevant. Assign prepaid classes/private sessions/training, credits, deposits/refunds, receivables and provider balances through the delivery guide. Compare cash, conditional terms, work and required investment. A calculator does not certify value, establish credentials or approve operations.
Owner questions
What yoga/Pilates valuation multiple is supported here?
The linked sold table is mixed dance/fitness-studio owner-earnings context, not an isolated yoga/Pilates or platform EBITDA range.
Do package receipts equal current earnings?
Reconcile fulfilled services, collections, continuing costs and remaining delivery/refund duties on consistent periods.
Should reformers be added to my business price?
Define included assets and inspect ownership/condition/investment; avoid adding equipment already included in the comparable or offer.
