BODYBAR Pilates Franchise Reaches Major Milestone – Signs 100th Agreement

Growth of the Boutique Fitness Brand Continues with 15 Additional Studios in Development

Fort Worth, Texas – (September 9, 2024) BODYBAR Pilates, a leading Pilates franchise, proudly announces the signing of its 100th franchise agreement. This significant milestone is marked by Sarah Chaves, who initially joined BODYBAR as the brand’s 10th franchise owner and will now expand her presence in the Tampa Bay area with a second studio and will hold the distinction of becoming the brand’s 100th studio location.

“Becoming the 100th franchisee of BODYBAR Pilates is an incredible honor, especially as someone who has been with the brand since it was just beginning to grow,” says Sarah Chaves, BODYBAR Pilates franchise owner. “I’ve seen firsthand the positive impact our studios have on the community, and I’m thrilled to bring another location to Tampa Bay.” 

Reaching the 100-unit mark is a milestone that less than 20% of franchises achieve. BODYBAR Pilates continues to gain momentum, with an additional 15 studios expected to open before the end of the year.

 “Reaching 50 locations open and 100 locations sold is a testament to the strength of our franchise model and the dedication of our franchisees. Our momentum is not just about the numbers, but about enriching communities and expanding the reach of our fitness community nationwide,” says Matt McCollum, CEO of BODYBAR Pilates. “With our ambitious expansion plans, including 15 more studios opening this year, we’re excited to continue providing business opportunities for passionate entrepreneurs.”

In addition to this milestone, BODYBAR Pilates recently ranked No. 276 on the 2024 Inc. 5000 list. This marks the brand’s first appearance on the prestigious list, further solidifying its place as a rapidly growing force in the fitness industry. As BODYBAR Pilates continues to grow, the brand remains committed to its mission of building a balanced, athletic and real community through its unique approach to Pilates. With each new location, BODYBAR brings its fiercely effective workout experience to more individuals, helping them discover their physical potential and enhance their overall well-being.
