About Club Pilates Franchise

Born in San Diego in 2007, Club Pilates has expanded around the globe, bringing Pilates to hundreds of thousands of people. We serve up over eight million workouts each year to our dedicated members…and we’re just getting started.

Pure to Joseph Pilates’ original Reformer-based Contrology Method, but modernized with group practice and expanded state-of-the-art equipment, Club Pilates offers high-quality, life-changing training at a surprisingly affordable price.

We believe that Pilates is the path to a fuller, more satisfying physical existence. We believe that being in control of your body helps you to be in control of your life. And best of all, we believe that you can start anytime.
