Our mission

Every owner should know exactly how their studio is doing — and have the next move drafted.

That's the whole company. Xyzios is the Studio OS — a complete operating system that plugs into what a studio already runs, reads its numbers night and day, and drafts the moves that grow it — each one ready for the owner's approval.

Our story

A note from the founder.

in his own words
01

It started with a goal.

Erin founded our studios. When we set out to grow them, we started the way you're supposed to: set a goal. Six months, real targets. Then came the homework — reports pulled one at a time from the booking platform, ad spend in one dashboard, leads in another, and the by-hand math: how many leads our team actually called, how many bought an intro, how many intros became members, how many members were quietly slipping away.

02

All of it on top of the day job.

All of it on top of actually running the studios — instructors, class schedules, the website, Google reviews, social, promotions. Even between the two of us it felt impossible, and we were supposed to be expanding.

03

Hire, or wait — or build the third option.

The honest options were hire more people or let the growth wait. So I built the third option: every number on one screen, goals with a tracked path, and the morning's work — the saves, the follow-ups, the failed payments — drafted by the time the doors open. It ran our own front desk and our own books before anyone else's, because we had to trust it with our revenue first.

04

Now the numbers work for us.

Now every number we need is on one screen. Goals aren't wishes — we can watch ourselves hit them. An AI staff works for us while we sleep, and nothing reaches a member unless we say so. For the first time, we know what's happening at our studios the same day — and we have the time to actually grow them, and a life outside them.

That's what Xyzios is. It's what we want for you.

The road here

From a studio's back office to the Studio OS.

The studios

Erin opens the doors. Real members, real payroll, real numbers — the standard everything after this has to meet.

The spreadsheet years

Growth homework by hand, every Sunday night, stacked on top of actually running the rooms.

Built in the building

Bill builds the third option — and it runs our own front desk and books before anyone else's.

The Studio OS

Live with Mindbody, running our studios every day — and now growing studios like yours.


Who's behind it

A small team, and a staff that never sleeps.

BH

Bill Hughes

Founder

Ran the numbers side of the studios, hit the wall the note describes, and built the OS — still runs it on our own revenue every day.

EA

Erin Ayres

Founder of the studios

Opened the rooms all of this serves. Every feature ships to her front desk first — if it doesn't help a real studio, it doesn't ship.

Xyzi & the AI staff

Works nights

Reads, ranks and drafts while the humans sleep. Answers in plain English by day. Never sends a member anything without your OK.


What we believe

The principles are the product.

Under-claim, always

The ledger counts a recovered dollar 21 days late and only if the member is still paying. A credible number beats an impressive one, every time someone checks a line item.

Ask before acting

Nothing reaches a member without the owner's approval. The AI finds, flags and drafts — so you can decide. Judgment stays yours.

We run on it first

Every board, every agent, every number ships to our own studios before it ever reaches yours. We trust it with our revenue first — that's the bar.

The numbers band every startup puts here is coming — from the ledger, with a method, when it's earned. Until then, the facts:

Straight answers

What people ask about us.

Who founded Xyzios?

Bill Hughes, who ran the numbers side of the boutique studios his partner Erin Ayres founded. The homework of growing them — reports pulled one at a time, spreadsheet Sundays — is why Xyzios exists.

What is Xyzios?

A studio operating system for boutique fitness: it plugs into the booking platform and tools a studio already runs, reads its numbers through the day, and drafts the moves that grow it — with every member-facing action approved by the owner, and every recovered dollar logged.

Does Xyzios run on real studios?

Yes — its own, every day. Every board, agent and number ships to the founders' studios before it reaches anyone else's; it ran their front desk and books first because they had to trust it with their own revenue.

Where do the numbers on this site come from?

The product screens are recreations on demo data, and the stats band every startup puts on its about page is deliberately absent — real figures arrive from the recovered-revenue ledger, with a method, when they're earned.
