💵What You Came For

The numbers of an average Club Pilates franchise

Average Revenue

$984,000

Average Profit

$246,000/year

Margin

21%

The average Club Pilates studio generates approximately $984,000 in annual revenue, based on 849 qualified locations. Top-performing studios in the first quartile average over $1.3M, while even the lowest quartile still averages around $686K, showing a wide but healthy revenue distribution. Roughly 48% of studios meet or exceed the system-wide average, indicating strong consistency across locations.

In terms of profit, well-run Club Pilates studios typically see 20–30% EBITDA margins, depending on rent, staffing, and local market conditions. That puts estimated annual owner profit in the range of $200K–$300K+ for an average studio, with higher potential for top-quartile performers.

📦 Cost Breakdown

Club Pilates requires an initial investment of $385K–$839K, driven mainly by location and build-out costs. Most owners use SBA or bank loans, typically putting 10–30% down and financing the rest over 7–10 years, which helps reduce upfront cash needs.

🤔 Would I Do It?

Maybe — but only with the right expectations. This is a hands-on, owner-operator business that depends heavily on strong marketing and community engagement. To maximize returns, you need to be involved, and hiring great instructors is the single biggest factor in success. In my view, it’s a solid business if you want to be active, but not ideal as a passive investment.
