The Australian Pilates brand offers franchise opportunities throughout the UK & Ireland
Studio Pilates International has launched the first of three new franchises in the UK and is seeking to expand nationwide. Since opening its first franchise in 2012, the pilates brand now has in excess of 100 studios operating, opening soon or reserved across five countries – Australia, New Zealand, China, USA and the UK, and will open in Canada in early 2024.
Studio Pilates International was co-founded by husband-and-wife duo, Jade and Tanya Winter, an ex-Olympic swimmer and qualified physiotherapist. They saw a gap for a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to Pilates and founded the Studio Pilates International brand.
Jade and Tanya have taught over 55,000 classes and as a result, have been able to refine the requirements of an instructor. Every Studio Pilates International workout is led by a qualified instructor to ensure a safe workout for every client.
The 40-minute workout makes strong use of audio-visual technology to augment the experience. Television screens play clips of the exercise being performed correctly with voiceover instructions. The studio is fitted with hardwood floors, a signature chandelier and beautifully crafted furniture that appeals to all clients.
The brand is a turnkey business and as such, is seeing a strong return on investment with around 30 percent of franchisees owning more than one studio. Not a single Studio Pilates studio has been closed as a result of the pressures of COVID-19, or those financial issues that were subsequently faced by the fitness industry.
The brand provides significant support to franchisees in terms of training and operations. Financial assistance is available.
