PVOLVE Expands Franchise with New Studios in Illinois, Kansas, and Washington
PVOLVE, a burgeoning fitness brand, continues its impressive expansion by announcing the launch of three new studio locations in Naperville, Illinois; Leawood, Kansas; and Bellevue, Washington. This latest development signifies a commitment to offering innovative, long-lasting fitness solutions to communities across the United States.
The brand has made a significant impact in the fitness industry by redefining wellness with a method rooted in functional movement that emphasizes strength, mobility, and longevity. As interest in sustainable fitness solutions grows, PVOLVE responds to the demand for exercises that promote overall health rather than just aesthetic results.
The new studios will be led by passionate entrepreneurs who bring unique experiences and a deep commitment to wellness in their respective communities. In Naperville, Illinois, Kristen Rennell will spearhead operations. With a background in finance, operations, and commercial real estate management, Rennell has firsthand experience of the transformative PVOLVE method. “PVOLVE completely changed my relationship with fitness,” she stated. “It challenges you in a way that feels effective and sustainable at the same time. I’m excited to bring that experience to my community.”
Meanwhile, in Leawood, Kansas, Katherine Deenihan is expanding her presence in the fitness arena, having built a strong connection to the brand through its digital platform. After becoming an active member while living in Denver, she felt compelled to share her love for PVOLVE with her local community. Deenihan highlights the method’s adaptability, noting, “What excites me most about PVOLVE is that it’s a workout people can truly grow with.”
Megan Dann will also play a crucial role in bringing PVOLVE to Bellevue, Washington. Currently, a senior manager in strategy and implementation, Dann discovered PVOLVE through classes in Denver and instantly connected with its philosophy. She expressed excitement about the community-building aspect of the studio, stating, “The variety, the focus on movement, and the welcoming environment create an experience that keeps people engaged and coming back.”
As these new locations open, PVOLVE continues to prioritize community and wellness, with franchise president Julie Cartwright praising the new owners for embodying the brand’s values: “These owners represent the kind of passionate, community-driven entrepreneurs we look for in our franchise partners,” she remarked, emphasizing that their personal experiences with PVOLVE will aid in meeting the growing demand for function-based fitness.
PVOLVE’s approach combines live classes, on-demand programming, and virtual sessions, making fitness accessible regardless of location. This hybrid model allows members to engage with the brand in ways that suit their lifestyles, reinforcing the message that health and fitness should be as sustainable as they are effective.
Established in 2017 by Rachel Katzman, PVOLVE is recognized as the first clinically-backed fitness method focusing on the essential elements of health—strength, mobility, and stability. Collaborating with a Clinical Advisory Board of medical professionals and fitness experts, PVOLVE ensures that workouts are designed for times of change and aimed at improving overall physical functioning, not taxing the body.
The recent endorsement from world-renowned actress Jennifer Aniston, who termed PVOLVE as “transformational,” has accelerated brand visibility and garnered attention from a broader audience. Today, PVOLVE offers nearly 40 studio locations across North America, with over 50 more in the development pipeline.
As the brand continues to grow, its focus on creating inclusive spaces that empower individuals to prioritize their health and well-being will remain a cornerstone of its mission. To discover more about PVOLVE and find a studio near you, visit
