Which of these feel true for you?

😅 You’re building your studio on instinct and hustle

📊 You look at your numbers, but are still unsure what actions to take

📋 You’re done “figuring it out” and want proven strategies instead

🌟 You know it’s time to lead things differently…

Of course it feels this way.

No one taught you how to lead like a CEO.
No one showed you how to make decisions by looking at the numbers first.

You’re simply standing at the edge of what you can do alone…


And ready for a different way to lead.

Hi! I'm Lauren,
Founder of Active Core Consulting

Before Active Core, I helped scale industry giants like Equinox, SoulCycle, and WeWork.

I saw what made those businesses thrive… and what most independent studio owners were never taught.

I watched incredible leaders doing everything right on the floor but still falling into the same patterns:

🆇 acting as the operator instead of the CEO,
🆇 spaghetti-on-the-wall decision-making,
🆇 and constant cash flow uncertainty.

Because no one taught them how to build the backend of their business.

I started to see the gap - how the systems, financial strategy, and decision-making frameworks that drove billion-dollar brands were completely missing from the independent studio space.

That gap was the difference between studios that sustained… and studios that scaled.

That’s when Finance & Flow was born.

I didn’t set out to create a group program.

I just found myself asking the same questions to every studio owner I met:

How’s your pricing? Is your payroll balanced with your revenue? Are your expenses actually driving profit?

Every answer led back to the same truth:

Your business can’t scale if your foundation isn’t set.

Running a successful brick-and-mortar business requires more than full classes and a thriving community. It takes financial strategy.

Finance & Flow gives you a clear path out of the operator seat
and into your CEO era.

You’ll finally lead your studio with more ease, clarity, and abundance.

In just 12 weeks, you’ll:

✅ Know exactly how much to pay yourself
✅ Refine your pricing, payroll, and team structure
✅ Stop making emotional decisions, and start leading with data
✅ Build systems that support sustainable growth
✅ Create profit that lasts
✅ Step fully into your CEO seat

Once you understand your numbers… you’ll shift from scarcity to abundance.

Once you create abundance… you make bold, confident decisions like the CEO you are.

If you…

✨ know you’re meant for more leadership, alignment, & freedom

✨ want to get out of the operator seat and lead like a CEO 

✨ have experienced success and are ready for what’s next

✨ need the right strategy to accelerate to your next level

And you’re ready for…

🌱 Structure that gives you breathing room

🌱 Profit that feels predictable

🌱 Leadership you can own
