Grounding quotes
  • “Our Q1 same-store studio sales were down 6% overall and down 4% for Club Pilates, which was a modest change from the fourth-quarter decrease of 3% in Club Pilates. These sales results, while below our standard, were expected given several factors I'll discuss shortly”
  • “Importantly, we have seen signs of stabilization as we reaffirm our 2026 guidance.”
  • “This is all positive progress, but let me talk more about our same studio sales, where we have spent considerable time focusing on the drivers of our trends.”
  • “I think we can make some really good progress over the next couple quarters.”

  • Adjusted EBITDA fell to $20.4 million from $27.3 million year-over-year.
  • Equipment revenue dropped 61% and merchandise revenue fell 90% year-over-year, reflecting fewer studio openings, lower license sales, and the shift to an outsourced retail model.
  • AUV declined to $662,000 from $685,000 year-over-year.
  • Franchise revenue declined 6% year-over-year to $41.2 million, driven by same-store sales declines and 2025 brand divestitures.

“Our Q1 same-store studio sales were down 6% overall and down 4% for Club Pilates, which was a modest change from the fourth quarter decrease of 3% in Club Pilates. These sales results, while below our standard, were expected given several factors I will discuss shortly in addition to the challenging year-over-year comparison with Q1 2025, which included 6% total company and 9% Club Pilates same-studio sales.” Michael M. Nuzzo, CEO
