Studio Pilates International franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: Studio Pilates International does not disclose franchise profit or revenue. Its most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-backed earnings figure for Studio Pilates International — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing; the fees, litigation and outlet churn Studio Pilates International's FDD does contain are on this page. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Other franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
Studio Pilates International lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
Studio Pilates International's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2023) discloses no litigation in Item 3. That is a real signal rather than a gap: the FTC Franchise Rule requires a franchisor to disclose material litigation involving itself, its predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 in a current filing means there was nothing it was required to report. It is worth reading alongside the churn numbers — a system can have a clean Item 3 and still be losing franchisees, which is what Item 20 shows.
Studio Pilates International closures & failure rate
Before you sign, Studio Pilates International 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 Studio Pilates International's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a franchise 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. Studio Pilates International's latest tables show a growing franchised network. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 0%. Net franchised outlets moved +1 to 4 in the latest reported year.
Who owns Studio Pilates International?
Studio Pilates International's franchise is offered by Studio Pilates International USA Corp. — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2023), 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.

Studio Pilates International franchise — frequently asked
Who owns Studio Pilates International — who is the franchisor?
Studio Pilates International's most recently filed FDD (2023) names Studio Pilates International USA Corp. as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself. A registry filing names the franchisor, not necessarily its ultimate parent company.
How much does a Studio Pilates International franchise cost?

That price is the franchisor's own estimate of what it takes to open, not a quote. Against category peers it sits in the lower quartile (median $227,750).
How much profit does a Studio Pilates International franchise make?
Studio Pilates International makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-disclosed revenue or profit figure for Studio Pilates International at all — and profit would never be disclosed even where earnings are, because it depends on your rent, labor and how you operate. Any profit figure quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure.
Does Studio Pilates International disclose financial performance (Item 19)?

Are there lawsuits against Studio Pilates International?
No — Studio Pilates International's most recently filed FDD (2023) discloses no litigation in Item 3. Franchisors must disclose material litigation involving themselves, their predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 is a genuine signal rather than an omission.
