KANSAS CITY, Mo. – BODYBAR Pilates (BODYBAR), known for its use of core Pilates principals with a modern twist, announced today that it has signed an agreement to raise the bar in Kansas City with its first Midwest location. The Reformer Pilates studio concept that has become a health and wellness hit in the Dallas – Fort Worth area is now elongating that enthusiasm into Kansas City. Blending its focus on strength, toning and modern movement with a warm, welcoming, spa-like environment, BODYBAR creates an unmatched Pilates experience centered on fostering a destination where a community of members can come together daily to maintain sound mind, body and spirit. “I was initially drawn to BODYBAR for its commitment to facilitating a positive environment in every studio,” said Julia Rew, owner of BODYBAR Pilates in Kansas City. “That welcoming, people-first mentality is not only crucial to the client experience, but also to the satisfaction of employees. Plus, as a fitness enthusiast myself, I’m really excited to help others in Kansas City achieve their personal health and wellness goals through BODYBAR.” Rew brings a unique background to BODYBAR. After growing up in Kansas City and getting an Associate of Science in Photography from The Art Institute of Philadelphia, Rew worked as a photographer in cities across the country. She moved back to Kansas City in 2015 and began working for her family’s construction company where she held various roles in sales and management. Now, Rew looks forward to leveraging her knowledge of the local community, experience in management and passion for fitness as she launches the first BODYBAR Pilates studio in Kansas City. The new BODYBAR location will be the first in the Midwest. Using core Pilates principals, each 40 to 50-minute BODYBAR Pilates class is designed to provide a full-body workout that is high-intensity, low-impact and perfect for increasing flexibility, muscle strength, posture and boosting overall health. Whether a member is a 70-year-old wellness guru or a 25-year-old who is just getting started, the BODYBAR workout can be customized to meet everyone’s personal fitness goals. “At BODYBAR, we’ve worked to build a fitness concept that values community at its core and our franchisees play a pivotal role in fostering that community,” said Matt McCollum, CEO of BODYBAR Pilates. “Julia has the passion, mindset and drive to ignite the Transform Your Body, Transform Your Life movement in the Midwest and we look forward to growing with her in Kansas City.” From single-use equipment that is disinfected between each workout, to appropriate spacing of the reformers and ample time between classes, BODYBAR’s steadfast commitment to the safety of its members and employees remains top priority. Furthermore, it recently launched its virtual platform, BODYBAR Live. Those who do not currently feel comfortable stepping into the studio can book live streams on the platform or access pre-recorded classes on-demand. With the virtual class option and strategic number of reformers in-studio, BODYBAR franchise owners can maximize revenue and hold a competitive advantage over others in the Reformer Pilates space. Halfway through the year, BODYBAR remains on target toward its goal of signing 25 agreements and 50 units before the end of 2020. Key expansion territories across the United States include Austin, Houston and San Antonio in Texas as well as Kansas City, Oklahoma City, Phoenix, Tampa Bay and Salt Lake City.
