Club Pilates Brings Popular Practice Back to its Roots with First Manhattan Location

NEW YORK, Feb. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Big Apple is in store for some even bigger developments. Club Pilates, the nation's largest Pilates franchise, announced today that it will be bringing Pilates back to its birthplace with its first Manhattan opening in Tribeca on Thursday, February 15.

In fact, Club Pilates anticipates the opening of 18 studios in Brooklyn, Long Island and Queens over the next six to 18 months in addition to seven more locations slated to open in Manhattan before mid-2019. These openings would bring the brand up to 25 studios in New York State.

"Joseph Pilates brought the practice of Pilates to New York City in the early 1920s and we are proud to say that we are bringing the workout back to its roots," said Anthony Geisler, CEO of Club Pilates. "The past two years have been unbelievable for our brand's growth and expanding our footprint in the Big Apple is just another testament to our strong business model and loyal following of Pilates enthusiasts."
