We are delighted to have supported Studio Pilates in securing their latest site in Bristol, marking another step in their continued expansion across the UK.

Studio Pilates has built a strong reputation for delivering a premium, reformer-based Pilates experience, combining high-quality instruction with a clean, design-led studio environment. The brand continues to resonate with a growing audience seeking structured, results-driven fitness in well-considered spaces.

Bristol represents a natural next move for the business. The city offers a strong demographic fit, with a health-conscious customer base, a large professional population, and a well-established appetite for boutique fitness concepts.

The Opportunity

The brief was clear.

Secure a site in a strong, high-footfall location that aligns with the brand’s premium positioning, while ensuring the fundamentals of the space worked operationally for a reformer Pilates studio.

As with all fitness-led uses, key considerations included:

Floorplate efficiency and usable trading space
Ceiling heights and overall feel of the unit
Power and services requirements
Visibility and accessibility

Alongside this, it was critical that the location itself supported the pricing and positioning of the brand.

Our Approach

We worked closely with Studio Pilates to identify and assess suitable opportunities, focusing on locations that offered the right blend of footfall, affluence and long-term growth potential.

Each site was reviewed not just on headline terms, but on its ability to deliver commercially once operational. This included:

Assessing the strength of the pitch and surrounding operators
Reviewing the configuration of the unit and its suitability for the model
Providing input on commercial terms and overall deal structure

Our role was to ensure that the site not only looked right on paper, but would perform in reality.

The Result

The Bristol site provides Studio Pilates with a strong platform in a key regional city, supporting their wider rollout strategy.

It is a location that aligns with the brand, works operationally, and positions the business well for continued growth.

Looking Ahead

Studio Pilates continues to expand across the UK, with a clear and consistent model that translates well into the right locations.

We are pleased to have supported them on this acquisition and look forward to seeing the site open and trading successfully.
