PILATES FRANCHISE FUSES TECHNOLOGY WITH FITNESS

Announcement posted by Studio Pilates 04 Feb 2016

A NEW ERA OF WORKOUTS BEGINS FOR AUSTRALIA

Studio Pilates International has this week launched a whole new way of keeping fit.  The fast growing boutique Pilates offering has introduced innovative video technology into the studio, allowing clients to view a 360 degree instructional perspective of each exercise on digital screens around the studio. The technology complements the verbal cues of an instructor, whose main focus is to modify and adjust each client’s technique on the reformer, and motivate them to get the most of their workout.


“The digital display screens allow instructors to correct clients on a one-on-one basis, without having to break the flow of instruction, which delivers greater focus and ultimately the best results to our clients,” co-founder of Studio Pilates, Jade Winter said.  


The launch also sees a host of new exercises added to the daily offering of challenging workouts.  There are now a total of 150 exercises - using every plane of movement, from lying to sitting to standing - across multiple workouts, to keep client’s bodies guessing.  And just when they feel they can’t keep going, a countdown clock appears on screen to push them through to the end.


The Studio Pilates blueprint has already amassed a large number of committed Pilates devotees, many surprised about how rigorous a Pilates workout can be.  But not only are they coming for the fast results they see, they are also coming  for the unique ambience of the glamorous studios, which are fitted out with polished floorboards, chandeliers and custom built reformers in its trademark black. High energy music greet clients from the moment they walk through the door, keeping the vibe uptempo and friendly.  


“It’s everything people are looking for in a workout,” says Winter “but nothing they expect.”


Exercise he claims, should be inspiring, not intimidating, which is why the studios are a “vibrant and full sensory experience.” The forty minute Pilates reformer classes are designed by physiotherapists  based on the most up-to-date scientific principles, and sequenced in such a way as to get the best results in the least amount of time.  


Winter’s entrepreneurial flair, along with wife, Tanya, who heads up the education division of the operation, have seen the franchise double in 12 months to 8, with a further 3 more franchises to come online in the first quarter of 2016, including the group’s first interstate operation, in Adelaide. Interest is strong in other strategic intrastate and interstate locations, as well as internationally.


“It’s a new era in workouts. The future of fitness,” said Jade.
