Club Pilates is gearing up for a major push in Michigan, Maryland, and New York after locking in a large multi-unit agreement with New York area developer Saber Ammori. The deal hands Ammori's franchisee group, called Renew Fitness, rights to 70 additional studios and boosts its potential footprint to 84 Club Pilates locations. Ammori already owns and operates roughly 14 Club Pilates studios in the New York City area.
The announcement was shared with the press on June 22, 2026 and reported by Franchising.com. In that statement, Xponential Fitness CEO Mike Nuzzo called the agreement "a testament to the brand's strength, economics, and staying power."
Ammori is the managing member, co-CEO and co-founder of Wireless Vision, a retail operator that says it manages hundreds of T-Mobile locations nationwide. Company materials list more than 500 store locations and thousands of employees, underscoring the scale of Ammori's existing retail operations, according to Wireless Vision.
How Renew Fitness Will Grow Club Pilates
Ammori and investment partner Cohere Capital have teamed up to form Renew Fitness, which is tasked with operating and developing existing and future Club Pilates locations. That structure pushes the franchisee group's potential to 84 studios and places it among the brand's largest multi-unit owners. The company statement says Renew Fitness will acquire and develop studios in and around Michigan, Maryland, and New York, as reported by Franchising.com.
Scaling Strategy and Industry Context
Club Pilates was founded in 2007, is headquartered in Irvine, California, and sits under the Xponential Fitness umbrella, according to Club Pilates. The brand also highlights a 500-hour instructor training program for its studio staff.
This year has already brought several large multi-unit moves for the concept. For example, the Orange County Business Journal reported a 127-studio development agreement with Riser Fitness in April 2026, and PR Newswire covered Aligned Fitness's recent acquisition of six Club Pilates studios in Ohio, underscoring a broader franchise scaling trend in boutique fitness.
What This Means Locally
For local communities, the agreement could translate into more boutique Pilates studios popping up in suburban shopping centers and busy urban corridors as Renew Fitness converts retail space into walk-in studios. Corporate filings already show Club Pilates LLCs tied to Ammori in Michigan, including a record for Club Pilates Oakleaf Town Center LLC that lists Saber Ammori as manager at a Birmingham address, according to the Florida Division of Corporations.
Club Pilates did not provide specific studio opening dates in the announcement. Prospective franchisees and community members can find franchising information and updates on the company's franchise portal and Xponential's pages, according to Club Pilates.
