Own a STRONG
Launched in Australia in 2019, STRONG Pilates is a high-intensity, low-impact workout that combines Pilates-inspired strength training with cardio on the Rowformer or Bikeformer, delivering a hybrid workout on equipment exclusive to STRONG.
The first STRONG Pilates studios in Poland will open in 2026.
123+ studios. 14 countries. One global experience that is down for more. Always.
A CATEGORY OF ONE.
There's fitness, and there's STRONG. We built the first workout to fuse strength training, Pilates, and cardio into one 45-minute session. No competitor has it. That's not a tagline, it's a business advantage.
When you own a STRONG studio, you're building STRONG humans and a connected community that can't be compared to anything else.
SUBSTANCE, NOT HYPE.
We didn't chase a trend and slap a logo on it. Founders Michael Ramsey and Mark Armstrong saw a gap in the fitness industry for a long term, sustainable, safe, low impact model which led them to our unique concept.
Every movement in our programming is backed by real training science and real results. Same goes for the business behind it.
Site selection, studio design, marketing, performance, member acquisition & retention, academy-trained instructors - it's all been tested, refined, and handed to you ready to run.
BUILT FOR PROGRESSION, NOT PERFECTION, BUT ALWAYS INNOVATING.
Fitness never stands still, and neither do we. It's a fast moving industry and that works for us because innovation is at our core. Our programming evolves. Our technology advances. Our systems get sharper. Our support doesn't stop at your studio opening - it keeps going as you grow.
A MODEL BUILT TO PERFORM.
Proven demand. STRONG Humans keep coming back for a workout they can't get anywhere else.
Streamlined operations. From studio fit-out to class programming, to marketing & performance support, we've done the hard work so you can focus on running your business.
Academy-trained instructors. Every trainer is certified through the STRONG Academy, consistent quality, every class, every studio.
Marketing that works. Global brand, local execution. You get the brand equity, the assets, the strategy, and the community behind you.
Real support, always on. Franchisee relationships aren't transactional. We're in it with you. Your success is our success.
COMMUNITY THAT COMPOUNDS.
STRONG isn't just a workout - it's a community. A genuine one. Members lift each other up in class, instructors are in your corner, and that same energy carries into our franchise network. You're not opening a studio alone. You're joining owners who trade notes, share learnings, and push each other forward.
Down for more? Let's chat.
You're not just opening a boutique fitness studio. You're building a business inside a genuinely one-of-a-kind category - with the systems, support, and brand power to back you up.
Why Xtreme Brands?
You are joining a network with operational experience built across more than 200 locations. STRONG Pilates has joined the Xtreme Brands portfolio as its third brand, developed alongside Xtreme Fitness Gyms fitness clubs and Xtreme KiDS active play centres.
With us, you are not starting from scratch. Over the past 10 years, we have learned how to build, grow and scale franchise networks. We have created the processes, operating standards and support framework that more than 200 franchise partners now rely on.
As many as 44% of them go on to open additional locations, which is the best proof that our system works.
We are applying this experience to growing and scaling the STRONG network across Poland, and in the future across the CEE region as well.
As a STRONG partner, you will benefit from more than brand recognition, know-how and processes. As an organisation that has already opened more than 200 locations across two franchise concepts, we will support you with our knowledge and experience. We will help you grow your local business and give you opportunities to develop within our network.
Because we are part of a franchise, we grow faster, scale the business faster and can do things we could never afford if we were running the business on our own.
