Club Pilates has announced its third UK studio will open later this summer in London at Wapping, following the successful launch of its first two studios at Bankside and Fulham Broadway.
The franchisor’s announcement follows news of its global growth of 1,000 studios, as it continues its franchise rollout in the UK with a long-term ambition of launching 50-75 studios in the next three to five years.
The Wapping studio will be operated by Deblankson Fitness Group, led by the founder Chief Richard Uku, who opened the first two London studio’s and owns the Master Franchise Licence for Club Pilates in the UK.
Uku, delighted to be stepping up the UK rollout, said: “Despite Pilates and particularly Reformer Pilates booming in London and across the UK, there are not many Pilates studios in the area, and we’re looking forward to serving the local community with a unique and engaging workout experience that’s a fantastic alternative to traditional gym workouts.”
Club Pilates says the Wapping location was chosen due to the area’s wider business network where partnerships may be tapped with synergetic businesses to grow the studio’s customer base and it is also well connected by transport links, making it convenient for customers from nearby areas to reach and enjoy its benefits.
The concept was founded in Irvine, California, U.S. in 2007, to offer full-body Reformer-based workouts that integrate a mix of cardio, strength and interval style training, suitable for all ages and fitness levels.
Club Pilates adds that its studios break away from the elitist perception of Pilates, to offer accessible and diverse class options with eight different formats and four levels to choose from. Its most popular classes are Cardio Sculpt, CP Suspend and Reformer Flow.
The brand says is also distinguishes itself by enhancing the 50-minute class experience with 11 different pieces of equipment. It has also introduced a proprietary 500-hour Teacher Training Programme, ensuring Pilates is accessible to everyone, fostering community, and delivering holistic fitness experiences.
‘A myriad of health benefits’
With classes available every day of the week, Club Pilates highlights that enthusiasts can expect a myriad of health benefits from Pilates including increased flexibility, improved posture, enhanced core strength, stamina, and an overall contribution to healthier, happier lives.
Club Pilates is a part of Xponential Fitness, a global franchisor of boutique fitness brands such as AKT, CycleBar, Pure Barr, Row House, StretchLab, and YogaSix, with locations across 23 countries.
