How much does a Club Pilates franchise make?

Club Pilates is one of the franchisors that answers this on the record: its most recent FDD makes an Item 19 financial performance representation — actual unit earnings figures, disclosed by the franchisor itself. The headline figure is $987,810 in average unit revenue — read it alongside what Item 19 says about which units it covers (often only mature or top-performing locations).

Club Pilates franchise profit vs. revenue

Revenue is not profit. An Item 19 almost always reports sales — what a location takes in — not what an owner keeps. Out of that number come Club Pilates's 8% royalty, the ad fund, rent, payroll, supplies and debt service. No FDD tells you a Club Pilates franchise's profit, because profit depends on your site, your rent and how you run it — so treat any "Club Pilates franchise profit" figure quoted elsewhere as someone's estimate, not a disclosure. On $987,810 of revenue, a 8% royalty alone is about $79,025 a year before any other cost.

Club Pilates lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)

Club Pilates's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026) does disclose legal proceedings in Item 3 . Item 3 is the item where a franchisor must put its material legal history on the record. Two things it is not: it covers the franchisor and its predecessors, parents and affiliates, so a disclosed case is not necessarily a suit against Club Pilates itself; and a disclosure is a fact, not a finding of wrongdoing — most entries are contract disputes with former franchisees, which every large system accumulates. Item 3 of the source FDD describes each case.

Club Pilates closures & failure rate

Before you sign, Club Pilates will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what Club Pilates's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a fitness of this kind.

The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. Club Pilates's latest tables show a growing franchised network. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 0.3%, against a fitness median of 5.4% — at or better than the category. Net franchised outlets moved +150 to 1,179 in the latest reported year.

Who owns Club Pilates?

Club Pilates's franchise is offered by Club Pilates Franchise SPV, LLC — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2026), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at MN CARDS; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.
