BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Pilates Studio
Clinical Rehabilitation & Fitness Pilates
Ref. CO174
Location : Dublin
Asking Price : GBP 795,000
This business is a well-established fully equipped and popular Pilates studio located in an affluent area an operating with Certified Pilates Teachers. The studio provides an excellent environment for instruction from a professional team of caring qualified instructors. The vendor is a 2nd generation Pilates master and with this skill plus the experience and knowledge of the whole team it achieves 85% of new business via referrals from satisfied clients. Standards are consistently high and has led to these referrals.
The business provides three services
Fitness Pilates group classes
Clinical one to one sessions
Pilates certification
The studio opened in September 2011 and was profitable from day 1. The owner suffered her own personal experience with back pain and sought a solution that would work, subsequently developing this business.
From inception the owner sent out flyers and immediately attracted 110 clients. The business has grown year on year since the launch through the good services etc. that are on offer .
The brand name of the business is well known and respected in the pilates industry. Many referrals are gained from hospitals and physios who recommend their patients to do pilates.
The business has intelligent apps, IT systems etc. to stay connected with clients.
Exercise programmes are tailored specifically to the individual s needs and adapted as the person develops. Designed to help each client achieve the correct balance of flexibility and muscle tone from body sculpting to re habilitation and injury prevention to better coordination and endurance. Clients leave a session with greater body awareness and control and a reduced level of stress.

Expansion Potential
This sector is a booming industry with a very good market outlook. Focused marketing and new thinking to go beyond the present owners vision could gain 100 percent growth.
With focussed thinking a future owner could double the business. Space is currently under and the vendor feels that Clinical Pilates instructed on a 1 to 1 basis could add to profitability.

Two therapy rooms are available to rent out or hire staff for services such as massage, physio etc. With the existing opening hours there are 144 hours per week eg. if rented 50% of the time at 10 euro per hour being 720 euro per week that would be 37,500 euro per annum. There are excellent relationships with hospitals and clinics to achieve these extra clients.

Currently there are 50 classes spread over the 7 day week operating at 68 70% capacity, more classes could easily be added for additional growth.

The successful buyer would need to think on a new level possibly licencing the brand name and creating a franchise model.

Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
