Club Pilates

Own a Premium Wellness Business with the World's Leading Pilates Brand

Club Pilates has transformed reformer Pilates into one of the most successful fitness franchise concepts in the world. With more than 1,400 studios across 24 countries and nearly two decades of proven performance, the brand has built a loyal global following by making premium Pilates accessible, welcoming, and results-driven.

As a franchise owner, you are investing in far more than a fitness studio. You are joining a globally recognised wellness brand with a proven membership model, industry-leading support, and the opportunity to build a scalable business in a rapidly expanding UK market. Whether your goal is to own a single studio or develop a multi-unit portfolio, Club Pilates provides the systems, expertise, and brand strength to help you achieve long-term success.

Why Invest in Club Pilates?

• Join the world's largest reformer Pilates franchise, with more than 1,400 studios operating across 24 countries.
• Benefit from a membership-based recurring revenue model targeting 300 active members within the first 12 months and projected annual revenue of £900,000 by year three.
• Receive comprehensive support covering site selection, construction, recruitment, marketing, sales, operations, and ongoing business development.
• Capitalise on the booming UK wellness market, with the Pilates and yoga sector valued at £1.1 billion and participation continuing to grow rapidly.
• Build a scalable business with strong multi-unit potential, reflected by the average Club Pilates franchisee operating 2.9 studios globally.

"What attracted me to Club Pilates was its strength. Strength in the number of successful franchises and the network, strength in the business model and fundamentals of the fitness industry and most of all giving strength back to our members with Pilates for everyBODY."

Why Club Pilates Stands Out

Club Pilates has earned its position as the global leader in reformer Pilates by creating a premium member experience that drives long-term engagement and retention. Every studio delivers a consistent, high-quality experience built around small class sizes, expert instruction, and a structured pathway for member progression.

Classes are intentionally capped at just 12 participants, allowing instructors to provide personalised guidance while maintaining the energy and community feel that members value. With seven distinct class formats and four ability levels, members remain challenged, motivated, and engaged throughout their fitness journey.

The brand's commitment to excellence extends to instructor training, which is widely recognised as one of the most comprehensive in the industry. This ensures consistency across every studio while protecting the reputation and quality standards that have made Club Pilates a trusted global name.

Most importantly, Club Pilates creates an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome. From complete beginners taking their first class to experienced practitioners looking to deepen their practice, the brand has built a model that appeals to a broad and growing customer base.

Financial Opportunity

• Membership-based recurring revenue model.
• Target of 300 active members by month 12.
• Projected annual revenue of approximately £900,000 by year three.
• Strong potential for multi-unit ownership and long-term portfolio growth.
• Operating within a UK wellness sector valued at approximately £1.1 billion.

"As a Club Pilates owner, I have seen firsthand how powerful this brand is in the UK. Members love it, the business is robust, and you truly feel part of a global movement that is transforming wellness."

A Day in the Life of a Club Pilates Franchisee

Club Pilates franchisees operate as business leaders rather than instructors. Your focus is on growing the business, developing your team, and creating an exceptional member experience.

A typical day may include reviewing membership performance and retention metrics, meeting with studio managers, supporting local marketing initiatives, building community partnerships, and exploring opportunities for future growth. Franchisees work closely with the Club Pilates support team while leading their own high-performing teams within the studio.

The operational systems are already in place, allowing owners to focus on leadership, strategy, and business development rather than day-to-day class delivery.

Comprehensive Support & Training

Before opening, franchisees receive guidance on studio design, construction management, recruitment, staffing, instructor certification, sales training, digital setup, and pre-sale marketing campaigns designed to build momentum before launch.

Following opening, support continues through operational coaching, performance reviews, digital marketing assistance, management development, sales training, and access to the global Club Pilates network.

5 Key attributes of a Club Pilates Franchisee

• £100k+ liquid capital required
• Leadership experience
• Sales and marketing mindset
• Passion for health and wellness
