Yes. A Pilates studio can add recurring revenue by referring interested members to licensed telehealth care, including GLP-1 weight management, and earning a fixed marketing fee for each person who signs up and stays active. You share a QR code or personal link, a licensed provider and pharmacy handle everything clinical, and the fee lands in your bank account every month for as long as that customer keeps using the platform.
This is a referral opportunity, not a medical service. Your studio never prescribes, stocks, or ships anything. Below is how it works and why it fits a Pilates business.
Why this fits a Pilates studio
Pilates clients already come to you for a structured, body-aware approach to their health. Many of them are actively working on strength, mobility, and body composition, and some are curious about medically supervised weight management options they have seen in the news. When a member asks where to start, you can point them toward licensed telehealth care instead of shrugging or sending them to search online.
You are not giving medical advice or making promises. You are simply making a resource available and letting the licensed clinical side take it from there. Every request is reviewed by a licensed provider, and not everyone qualifies, so your role is to open a door, not to decide who walks through it.
Because Pilates studios tend to build long relationships with a loyal, health-focused clientele, the recurring nature of the fee matters. You earn month after month for as long as each referred person keeps actively using the platform, not just once at signup.
How the referral actually works
The mechanics are simple. MedStands gives you a QR code and a personal link. You can print the QR code for your front desk, your locker area, or a flyer, and drop the link into an email or a member newsletter. When someone scans or clicks and signs up, they are attributed to your studio automatically.
From there, licensed providers do the prescribing and licensed pharmacies do the fulfillment, refills, and shipping. The platform is LegitScript-certified. MedStands is not a medical practice and does not prescribe. Your studio has no clinical work, no inventory, no prescribing, and no fulfillment, and you never touch medication at any point.
That separation is the whole point. It lets a fitness business benefit from the interest around GLP-1 care without becoming a medical provider or taking on medical responsibility.
What you actually earn, and what it costs
The earnings are a fixed marketing fee, set in advance, paid to your bank every month for as long as each referred person keeps actively using the platform. It is not a commission, not a cut, and not a percentage of anything. It is a flat fee per active customer, decided up front so you know exactly what a referral is worth.
Joining costs nothing. There is $0 to join, no setup fee, no monthly fee, and nothing to buy. You are not stocking a product or committing to a franchise. You add a QR code and a link to a business you already run, and the recurring fees build from there.

Two ways to participate
If you own or operate the studio, the partner path fits: you earn a fixed marketing fee per active customer referred through your studio. If you are an instructor, a wellness marketer, or someone who influences several studios, the affiliate path pays recurring lifetime marketing fees on the people you bring in. The model is closely related to how yoga studios can earn from member wellness referrals, so if you run both disciplines the same approach carries over.
Either way, the day-to-day stays the same: share, attribute, and let the licensed clinical side handle the rest.
Common questions
Does my Pilates studio have to pay anything to join?
No. It is free to join, with no setup fee, no monthly fee, and nothing to buy. You add a QR code and a personal link to your existing space, and there is no ongoing cost to keep them.
Do I have to do any clinical or medical work?
No. There is no clinical work, no inventory, no prescribing, and no fulfillment on your side. Licensed providers do the prescribing and licensed pharmacies do the fulfillment, refills, and shipping. Your studio never touches medication.
Who decides if a member qualifies for treatment?
A licensed provider does. Every request is reviewed by a licensed provider, and not everyone qualifies. You cannot influence who gets treated, and you should never suggest that any specific person is a good candidate. You simply make the resource available.
Is the fee a commission?
No. The fee is a fixed marketing fee set in advance and paid monthly for as long as each referred person keeps actively using the platform. It is not a commission, a percentage, or a share of sales. If you want the distinction spelled out, read is a telehealth referral fee a commission.
