The first class is free to new customers, and typical fees are $10 per class or $40 per month. Courses are are 6 p.m. Wednesdays and Fridays and from 2 to 3 p.m. Sundays. A package of 10 classes is $80.
Kearns has been an instructor for two years but started her own franchise in Springfield after the studio where she previously taught closed. Typical classes include as many as 15 to 20 participants, but some have already had 30 people, she said.
“In just a month I’ve been really amazed at the turn out and the people that have been coming and how it’s been growing,” Kearns said.
Her long-term goal is to add more instructors and eventually host more classes in the area.
“My growth depends on getting instructors because, as soon as I can, then I can add more classes,” Kearns said.
