Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• F45 Training: F45 is a globally franchised functional training brand with a large APAC and global footprint. While it competes for the same boutique-fitness consumer wallet share rather than the same modality, F45's franchise model, group class format, and international expansion playbook make it a closely comparable peer for franchise unit economics and brand scaling dynamics.
• Barry's Bootcamp: Barry's is a premium boutique fitness brand with a global studio network and a strong digital offering. Although its modality is HIIT rather than Pilates, it competes directly for the same premium urban consumer and offers a benchmark for boutique fitness pricing, digital monetization, and brand-led international expansion.
• Orangetheory Fitness: Orangetheory is a global boutique fitness franchise built on proprietary group workout programming. It competes with KX for premium fitness spend and shares a franchise-led, standardized-format business model. Useful as a comparable for international franchise expansion economics and member retention benchmarks.

Regional players

• 1Rebel: 1Rebel is a UK boutique fitness brand with studio and digital offerings targeting premium urban consumers. While UK-based and broader in modality, its integrated studio-plus-streaming model and premium positioning make it a useful regional comparable for KX's omnichannel strategy.

Emerging players

• Xtend Barre: Xtend Barre is a global barre and Pilates-inspired fitness franchise combining reformer elements with barre and Pilates formats. It is comparable as an adjacent boutique fitness franchise with similar group-class dynamics and franchise-led international expansion.
• FRAME (Fitness, Resistance, Advanced Movement & Exercise): FRAME is a UK-based boutique fitness brand offering reformer Pilates, barre, and yoga classes across multiple London studios, with a growing digital platform. It is comparable as a multi-format boutique fitness peer with both studio and digital subscription revenue streams.
• Pilatesology: Pilatesology is an online Pilates instruction platform offering on-demand video classes. It is comparable to KX At Home as a digital Pilates subscription service, representing the asset-light, at-home competitive vector KX is pursuing alongside its physical studio footprint.

Direct peers

• Club Pilates: Club Pilates is the largest reformer Pilates franchise globally, with 700+ studios primarily in the US. It is the most directly comparable peer to KX Pilates given its similar group reformer class format, franchise-led growth model, and dynamic, accessible positioning targeting a broad adult fitness audience.
• SLT: SLT is a US-based boutique fitness franchise specializing in reformer Pilates and Lagree-style group classes. It is a direct comparable given its small-group reformer format, premium positioning, and franchise-driven multi-market expansion — closely mirroring KX's studio proposition.
• Pilates Plus: Pilates Plus (formerly Pilates Plus LA) is a reformer-focused boutique fitness brand offering dynamic, high-intensity group Pilates classes. It mirrors KX's dynamic reformer Pilates positioning, small-group format, and premium pricing model.
