Walla Launches in Canada, Empowering Fitness Studios to Achieve Predictable Profitability with AI-Driven Performance Partnership

Toronto, ON / Aug 14, 2025 / Walla

Walla, the leading AI-powered platform for boutique fitness studios, today announced its expansion into the Canadian market. This launch marks a significant shift and new standard for the fitness industry: Studio Performance Software. Walla is positioning itself not only as a tool for streamlined management but as a strategic partner dedicated to driving confident, profitable growth for studio owners everywhere.

For years, studio software has existed to facilitate business management, creating a reactive system for schedules, memberships, and reports. It has always placed the burden of growth squarely on the shoulders of the owner. Walla’s platform represents a fundamental shift. We believe management is a prerequisite for entry; strategic growth is what truly defines success. Our intelligent platform is a proactive partner that doesn’t just manage your business; it helps you outperform.

Walla’s proprietary, cutting-edge AI technology delivers a level of business intelligence. It provides predictive insights into member behavior, enabling studios to retain more members and anticipate potential loss. By automating lead generation, personalizing marketing campaigns, and simplifying sales processes, Walla’s platform ensures every fitness class and wellness experience is optimized for attendance and every opportunity for growth is captured. Utilizing this proactive approach to studio management frees owners from administrative burdens, empowering them to focus on the community and their impact.

“The era of simply running a studio is over. In an industry questioning what’s next, we are entering a new age of profitable, predictable, and confident growth,” says Doug Hecht, CEO & Co-founder of Walla. “Our expansion into Canada is about providing studio owners with a partner that helps them get ahead. The studios making this leap with us aren’t looking back, because they’ve discovered that with the right partnership, their potential is limitless.”

Walla’s platform is already trusted by a diverse range of studios and wellness operations, from yoga and Pilates to barre and HIIT, including Red Light Method, The Bunny Hive, Elevate Training, The River Yoga, and more. These studios have seen significant growth and improved profitability since implementing Walla. Walla is fully scalable for multi-location and franchise operations, and is committed to equipping Canadian fitness professionals with the strategic advantage needed to build stronger, more resilient businesses.
