A Smarter Way to Begin Your Club Pilates Journey
We've recently introduced a new Territory Reservation process, designed to give prospective franchisees greater flexibility when beginning their Club Pilates journey.
Instead of committing to the full franchise fee before securing a location, you can now reserve an exclusive territory with an initial £10,000 Territory Reservation Payment.
This gives you the confidence to move forward while working alongside our experienced franchise development team to identify the right opportunity.
During the reservation period, we'll support you with:
- Confirming your exclusive territory
- Property search and site sourcing
- Site evaluation and approval
- Initial studio planning and development discussions
Once a suitable property has been identified and approved, you'll progress to signing the Franchise Agreement and paying the remaining balance of the franchise fee.
Most importantly, your territory remains exclusively reserved throughout this process, ensuring no other prospective franchisee can secure or progress within your chosen area. We believe this creates a smoother route into business ownership by allowing you to secure the opportunity first while making the larger financial commitment only once the right site has been found.
The Investment
| Investment: | Approximately £400,000 – £500,000 (including franchise fee, build, and working capital). Initial Franchisee Fee: £10,000 Territory reservation Fee: £10,000 Franchise fee: £60,000 (incl. territory reservation) |
The Ideal Franchisee
We are seeking commercially minded individuals or partnerships with strong leadership capability and an interest in health and wellness. Prior fitness experience is not required.
Ideal franchisees are:
- Strong operators with a focus on performance and growth
- Effective leaders who can build and manage teams
- Committed to following a proven system
- Motivated to scale into multi-unit ownership
Testimonial
What attracted me to Club Pilates was its strength. Strength in the number of successful franchises and the network, strength in the business model and fundamentals of the fitness industry, and, most of all, giving strength back to our members with Pilates for everyBody. Our members come back for the difference it makes to their lives.
Al, Club Pilates Franchise Owner
