About Club Pilates

Club Pilates provides low-impact, reformer-based group fitness classes designed for individuals of all ages and fitness levels. The service offering centers on a modernized version of traditional Pilates that utilizes specialized equipment, including Pilates reformers, springboards, EXO-chairs, and TRX suspension trainers. These sessions are intended to improve core strength, mobility, and stability through full-body workouts led by instructors who have undergone extensive training across multiple disciplines. The business operates as a storefront model, emphasizing a semi-absentee ownership structure characterized by minimal inventory and a limited staff requirement. Revenue is primarily generated through recurring memberships for group classes, supplemented by introductory sessions and retail opportunities. The operational concept is designed for scalability, providing investors with an executive-level system that relies on a consistent, standardized program across all studio locations. Founded in 2007 in San Diego, the brand has established a global presence with more than 750 studios across four continents. It entered the Australian market in 2022, where the network has grown to approximately 30 units. As a major provider in the health and fitness sector, the franchise maintains a focus on making premium Pilates experiences accessible to a broad consumer demographic within a professional studio environment.

What franchisees & customers say

SCAMMERS! Absolutely unacceptable experience. I signed up for a free trial at Club Pilates Applecross, only to later discover they had been quietly direct debiting my account for 15 weeks at $32 per session — without any communication, confirmation, or consent beyond the trial. There were no reminders, no follow-ups, no transparency — just money disappearing from my account. When I raised the issue, they showed zero accountability and flat-out refused to provide a refund. This feels incredibly misleading and predatory. A “free trial” should not turn into a long-term financial commitment without clear, explicit consent and communication. If you’re considering joining, be extremely cautious and read everything — because they clearly won’t go out of their way to make things clear or right when something goes wrong. Would not recommend! PS - you can see their reply, their only response is to call me a liar! So unprofessional!! All of this could have been avoided by refunding what was rightfully mine!
