About Us

Founded in 2007, Club Pilates is a boutique fitness studio that specializes in Reformer-based strength-training classes for anyone, at any age or fitness level. The company is experiencing rapid growth and expects to have 650 locations open by the end of 2019. Across the country Club Pilate has more than 2,800 instructors teaching over eight million workouts each year to our dedicated members…and we’re just getting started. Pure to Joseph Pilates’ original Reformer-based Contrology Method, but modernized with group practice and expanded state-of-the-art equipment, Club Pilates offers high-quality, life-changing training at a surprisingly affordable price. Club Pilates is ranked as the Fastest Growing Fitness Franchise in Inc. Magazine’s Inc. 5000 and 500 two years running and Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2019 Franchise 500 for the third year running.

Local owner, Abby Phelps, opened Club Pilates Lincoln Park in October 2016 as the first Club Pilates in the Chicagoland area. The studio’s community and the excitement about Club Pilates grew quickly in Lincoln Park which eventually led to Abby opening her second studio, Club Pilates North Center, in April 2018. Between the two studios, we have a community of almost 800 loyal members and clients! Abby will open her third studio, Club Pilates Wicker Park, this summer and our team looks forward to deepening the Club Pilates love in Chicago!
