IRVINE, CA – Club Pilates, the largest premium boutique Pilates brand, announces the historic milestone of its 1,000th location opening in Portland, Oregon. This studio joins an expansive global network of Club Pilates studios, each offering effective and low impact Reformer-based fitness routines to people of all backgrounds. The 1,000th studio opening marks a significant achievement in the brand’s commitment to helping members feel their best and live life to its fullest. The experience offered at Club Pilates continues to resonate with the brand’s growing member base and studios across 12 countries.
“From 30 open locations in 2015 to opening the 1,000th nine years later, this milestone is a true testament to the incredible growth the brand has experienced and the impact Club Pilates has in the lives of our members and communities across the globe,” said Mike Gray, President of Club Pilates. “We’re thrilled to celebrate this moment with Club Pilates Grant Park, which is particularly serendipitous, as the franchise owners are one of our earliest franchise groups, opening their first studio in 2013, and have partnered with us extensively to become our second largest franchise group in the Club Pilates System. This celebration would not be possible without the inspiring dedication of our franchise partners, studio teams, and corporate team alongside our proven business model, which has helped continue to propel our growth forward and change lives.”
“We’re absolutely thrilled to hit this milestone of opening the 1000th studio. It’s been an incredible journey over the last 10 years since we opened our 1st studio which was the 13th location for Club Pilates. Seeing the brand grow and bringing Pilates to so many people worldwide has been truly inspiring,” said Keely Watson, Franchise Owner of Club Pilates Grant Park. “We’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to make Pilates accessible for our members and provide our staff with chances to grow in the industry across our 30 locations in two states. With our amazing team of 400+ and the support of the teams at Club Pilates and Xponential Fitness, we look forward to bringing Pilates to even more communities with 45 additional studios currently in development.”
The brand’s growth is driven by consistent consumer demand for the incredible benefits of Pilates. Club Pilates delivers on this demand through a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere and a variety of classes taught by experienced certified Pilates instructors. By modernizing Joseph Pilates’ original Reformer-based Contrology Method, Club Pilates is the modern way to practice Pilates with group practice options and expanded equipment that caters to a variety of needs and abilities. The growth has allowed the brand to open in 45 states and every major market across North America, including urban and regional areas.
Club Pilates continues to also experience remarkable international growth, announcing in mid-July last year its first Master Franchise Agreement in France. This deal builds upon the brand’s growing platform of studios across Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Australia, Dominican Republic, Kuwait, Portugal, Spain, the UK, and Germany with more agreements in development in Austria, Ireland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Qatar, New Zealand, and Switzerland.
To celebrate the milestone, studios nationwide will be hosting a Club Pilates Millennia Party to share a moment with members, staff, and all those who have contributed to the growth and success of Club Pilates, along with celebrating their own studio milestones where members are encouraged to celebrate their accomplishments and goals.
