BODYBAR Pilates to Open in Tennessee

BODYBAR Pilates, renowned for its high-energy reformer-based classes, is set to launch its inaugural studio in Tennessee this coming fall. Situated at 995 Meridian Blvd., Suite 100 in Franklin, this exciting new facility aims to redefine fitness in the region. Scheduled for a grand opening on October 26, 2026, the studio promises to bring a fresh and invigorating Pilates experience to the local community.

Creating a Community Hub

In anticipation of the grand opening, BODYBAR Pilates is offering a limited number of founding memberships. This exclusive opportunity provides early sign-ups with a lifelong discount of up to 15% on their memberships, priority booking, and a complimentary class to enjoy before the official opening day. Moreover, the studio intends to host several community-oriented events in the lead-up to its debut, allowing locals to familiarize themselves with the vibrant workouts and dedicated staff.

One of the highlights is "Sip & Shop at BODYBAR Franklin" on September 23, where guests can unwind after work with a selection of Prosecco, wine, and light bites while participating in raffles. Additionally, there will be a collaboration with 111 Motorclub on September 26 for a free mat Pilates class, focusing on core strengthening and mobility.

Other events include studio tours taking place on September 24 and October 2 and 3, giving potential members a sneak peek of the facility. Interested participants can easily RSVP via phone or email, while walk-ins are also welcomed.

Welcoming New Owners

Leading the charge of this new BODYBAR studio is Brenda Warkow, a first-time franchise owner with a rich background in financial services and sales management. After many years in corporate environments, Brenda sought a career that balanced her passion for fitness with her personal life. Following her first encounter with BODYBAR Pilates, where the engaging classes captivated her, she decided to embark on this new venture, aiming to bring the innovative practices of BODYBAR to her community.

"I'm incredibly honored and excited to be launching BODYBAR's first location in Tennessee," said Brenda Warkow. "The unique approach to Pilates and the engaging atmosphere made me realize that our community would truly resonate with what we have to offer." The studio promises a welcoming environment catering to individuals of all fitness levels, utilizing advanced equipment like the tower, chair, and jumpboard.

State-of-the-Art Facility

With a spacious 2,900 square foot area overflowing with natural light, the Franklin studio will feature a 900-square foot retail section along with 14 reformers and a private room designated for one-on-one training. BODYBAR specializes in athletic Pilates classes led by certified instructors, promoting well-being and strength across a broad spectrum of fitness levels.

"2026 has been a significant year for BODYBAR Pilates, marking groundbreaking milestones in our expansion," explained Kamille McCollum, Chief Brand Officer and co-founder of the franchise. "With the opening of our 100th studio in Fort Worth, we are poised to expand into 28 states by year-end, including Indiana and Nebraska. We're proud of our franchise owners like Brenda, who contribute their passion and determination to our studios' success."

BODYBAR Pilates continues its impressive growth across the nation with over 23,000 members, 70 studios in development, and 13 openings projected by year-end. Brenda also plans to bring a second studio to Brentwood by late 2027, further extending BODYBAR’s reach in the Tennessee fitness scene.
