PVOLVE Expands with New Studios in Virginia
PVOLVE, the innovative fitness franchise that is reshaping how individuals develop strength, mobility, and stability for long-lasting movement, has recently opened two new studios in Virginia's Richmond and Tysons. This expansion marks a significant milestone in PVOLVE's journey to promote movement longevity through a unique fitness methodology.
The Short Pump Richmond location is spearheaded by Vikas Kapila, a seasoned management consultant and entrepreneur who has previously successfully operated StretchLab franchises. His extensive experience and passionate commitment to fostering a supportive community make him well-suited to lead this venture. Vikas aims to take PVOLVE's innovative Method to enhance the health of both individuals and the broader Richmond community.
On the other hand, the Tysons studio is co-owned by Mona Keshtkaran, a respected nutritionist and functional medicine expert, along with Shahrad Shadman, a leading cardiologist. Their combined expertise in health and wellness provides a holistic and clinical perspective to the operational strategies of their studio. Mona and Shahrad are committed to helping people adopt a proactive approach to their health, inspired by PVOLVE’s strong focus on functional movement and longevity.
Julie Cartwright, President of PVOLVE, expresses enthusiasm for the new studio openings, stating, “Richmond and Tysons are exciting additions to our franchise. Vikas brings invaluable wellness knowledge and franchising experience, while Mona and Shahrad provide a unique health-conscious perspective that amplifies our clinical distinctions in the fitness landscape.”
The PVOLVE Method
PVOLVE stands as the first clinically-validated company dedicated to Movement Longevity. Its Method integrates three key pillars of longevity training—strength, mobility, and stability—into every class offered. Utilizing proprietary tools and techniques, PVOLVE provides signature workouts such as Functional Weight Training and Sculpt sessions, which aim to transform physiques while ensuring that women can move better and longer.
Founded by Rachel Katzman in 2017, PVOLVE has gained valuable insights from a Clinical Advisory Board composed of experts in physiology and biomechanics. Notably, actress Jennifer Aniston, who partnered with PVOLVE in 2023, has praised the Method's transformative power, calling it a “game changer” in her fitness journey.
With a rapidly growing franchise network, PVOLVE is making significant strides in cultivating a differentiated fitness experience that focuses on body transformation and movement longevity. This strategic approach not only boosts member retention but also strengthens the business model for franchise owners across the continent.
Currently, PVOLVE boasts over 45 locations throughout North America and is actively developing more than 30 additional studios. This robust expansion ensures that communities have access to wellness programs that inspire and empower them to embrace healthier lifestyles.
In summary, PVOLVE is excited to bring its transformative fitness experience to Virginia, and both community members and health enthusiasts can anticipate engaging and dynamic workout sessions at these new studio locations.
