The Concept
Club Pilates is the largest Pilates franchise system in the United States and one of the largest globally. Founded in San Diego, California, the company transformed Pilates from a niche training method into a scalable boutique fitness model through group reformer classes and standardized programming. The brand is owned by Xponential Fitness and has become one of the most recognizable names in boutique fitness.
The concept focuses on accessible Pilates instruction for members of all fitness levels. Studios generate revenue primarily through memberships, private sessions, and retail sales. Franchisees receive site-selection assistance, training, marketing support, and operational systems designed for multi-unit expansion.
Main Questions
Do I need Pilates experience?
No. Club Pilates is designed for owner-operators and investors alike. The company provides extensive onboarding and operational training.
Many franchisees come from corporate, healthcare, education, or finance backgrounds rather than fitness.
The franchisor places significant emphasis on hiring qualified instructors rather than requiring owners to teach classes themselves.
How does a studio generate revenue?
The primary revenue source is recurring memberships.
Additional income can come from private sessions, teacher training programs, retail products, and specialty workshops.

Most studios require site selection, lease negotiation, permitting, construction, equipment installation, and instructor recruitment.
A typical development timeline can range from six to twelve months depending on the market.
Franchise support teams assist throughout the process.
Can I own multiple locations?
Yes.
Many Club Pilates operators own multiple studios, and multi-unit development is common throughout the system.
The model is designed to support regional portfolio growth.
