Franchise Owner Experience
Robert Bereny
Multi-Unit Franchise Owner, CA
Robert Bereny has spent his career in Hungary, mainly in corporate banking and venture capital – only recently moving into retail, owning 25 Nike stores in Hungary. With ambition to live and invest in the US and try a new career path, Robert discovered Club Pilates on a trip to Los Angeles in 2015. He wanted to find a service-based, consumer-focused business with the ability to run on an absentee model with minimal inventory management. He saw that the franchising opportunity presented not only a good investment opportunity, but allowed him to continue living in Hungary with his family. Now with multiple locations in Southern California open, Robert is glad he bought into a people-based business.
Ryan Ask
Multi-Unit Franchise Owner, VA
Club Pilates, to me, really fit with what I was looking for in a business opportunity because their approach and model is very simple and the return on investment opportunity is greater than other Franchise’s I was looking into. To break it down at a high level, I chose Club Pilates because I fell in love with the semi-absentee ownership model, the limited amount of employees needed to operate the business and the high margins on average the studios are projected to produce. After visiting the headquarters and the team for Discovery Day I knew it was a perfect fit. The corporate team has been by my side to support every step of the way and has always given timely responses to any questions. From securing my lease to sending someone out for my Grand Opening weekend, Club Pilates has been there to make sure I succeed…and that is exactly why I became part of the family.
