Company Description

Laurie Gatlin founded Bodybar Pilates in 2012 in Fort Worth, Texas. Franchisees Matt and Kamille McCollum, husband and wife, eventually went on to become Bodybar’s brand leaders, with Matt as CEO and Kamille as president and chief brand officer.

The Pilates concept has found success with the increased interest in reformer Pilates, a subset of Pilates that activates core muscles and strengthens the body through the use of reformer machines. The brand prides itself on accessibility, with a diverse range of class formats for people of all fitness levels and Pilates backgrounds. The company set up in-home real estate support services in 2026.
