Bay Area Welcomes Third Pvolve Studio Location

Pioneering Functional Fitness Franchise Awards Latest License to Continue Northern California Expansion

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pvolve, the fitness franchise that pairs functional movement with resistance equipment to build strong, mobile bodies, announced today a new studio signing for the San Francisco area. This latest agreement brings the total number of studios in development across the market to three, with the new studio set to become the second of the three planned locations. The first two were secured this past spring by local entrepreneur Venetia Vonich, who is now teaming up with her friend and business partner, Lupita Romero, to help expand Pvolve's reach in the area.

Venetia, who has spent the last decade working in pediatrics at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital in Oakland, was the first to discover Pvolve. She was captivated by the method's ability to aid in her recovery from a back injury, ultimately leading her to pursue ownership of the franchise's first two Bay Area studios.

Inspired by Venetia's enthusiasm and the remarkable benefits of the Pvolve method, Lupita, an ultrasound technologist, quickly became an avid user of the brand's online workout experience. After seeing the transformative impact it had on her own health, including improved posture, reduced back pain, and enhanced overall wellbeing, Lupita decided to join forces with her best friend to deepen Pvolve's roots in their community.

"Venetia has always been a source of motivation for me, both personally and professionally," said Lupita. "When she introduced me to Pvolve, I was immediately struck by how effective and sustainable the workouts were. It wasn't an easy decision to start my own business, but having my best friend by my side every step of the way gave me the confidence to move forward."

Recently the brand made headlines after announcing the results of a University of Minnesota Clinical Study, which looked at the impacts of Pvolve on chronic lower back pain. This marks the fourth clinical study that Pvolve has taken part in over the last several years; a part of the franchise's effort to validate its efficacy and further the understanding of functional fitness and its full range of health benefits.

"Venetia and Lupita's deep connection and shared commitment to health and wellness are exactly what make them the perfect partners to bring Pvolve to the Bay Area," said Julie Cartwright, President of Pvolve. "Their passion for helping others achieve lasting fitness results aligns perfectly with our brand's mission, and we're excited to see the positive impact they'll bring to the local community."

Cartwright credits the efficacy of Pvolve's signature method and its partnership with world-renowned actress, producer, and director, Jennifer Aniston, as the reason the brand has been experiencing explosive growth. In addition, the franchise offers a multi-revenue stream business model, proprietary equipment, and hybrid class experiences that further fuel its expansion.
