“I’ve always been a fitness enthusiast, but Reformer Pilates has truly changed my life,” said Barbara Benz, franchise owner, BODYBAR Pilates Royal Palm Beach. “I’ll never forget my first BODYBAR class – I sat down at my Reformer and saw the saying ‘get comfortable being uncomfortable’ on the wall. Those words spoke volumes to me. Trying something new can be intimidating, but I believe it’s how we grow, and opening this studio is part of that journey for me. I want it to feel like a sanctuary for our members to feel good, make friends, have fun, and establish a community. I’m thrilled to be opening this summer and can’t wait to share BODYBAR’s experience soon.”

Founded to redefine fitness, BODYBAR Pilates’s mission is to cultivate a balanced, athletic, and real community. The Royal Palm Beach studio will span 1,920 square feet, have 12 Reformers and offer BODYBAR’s signature athletic Pilates classes. These are led by certified instructors and designed to support strength, balance, mobility, and overall well-being for all fitness levels, using state-of-the-art Pilates equipment.

“We’re pleased to be expanding our presence in Florida, one of our key development states,” said Kamille McCollum, chief brand officer, president, and co-founder of BODYBAR Pilates. “Partnering with new franchise owners like Barbara, who embody our values and have a passion for connecting with their communities, makes our debut in Palm Beach County especially meaningful. We look forward to supporting her success.”
