Australian fitness franchise combines Pilates, cardio, and strength training using patented equipment to redefine global wellness.

  • STRONG Pilates launches the campaign "More Than Pilates"
  • Over 150 studios planned for the U.S.
  • 94% member satisfaction with STRONG's fitness solutions.

In the fast-evolving landscape of fitness, STRONG Pilates is carving out a distinctive space—not as just another studio, but as a transformative force. Through its latest campaign, More Than Pilates, the brand redefines conventional Pilates by integrating high-intensity cardio and strength training, creating a full-spectrum fitness experience that challenges traditional norms. At STRONG, Pilates is no longer confined to reformer stretches; it's a dynamic approach to achieving strength, vitality, and total-body wellness.

Co-founder Michael Ramsey captures this evolution best. Since launching in 2019, his vision has been clear: not to tweak the existing model, but to completely reshape it. As STRONG gears up to open its first location in the United States, the question arises—can an Australian-born brand revolutionize global fitness? The answer appears promising. STRONG isn’t following trends; it’s setting them, backed by proprietary equipment like the Rowformer and Bikeformer and an ever-evolving programming model.

Recent marketing insights affirm the brand’s momentum. Eighty-four percent of STRONG members globally say the studio meets all of their fitness needs, underscoring the success of its holistic model. With many members training four times a week or more, the brand’s loyal following reflects not only its effectiveness but its ability to foster a powerful community. The campaign rollout includes strong social media engagement and immersive in-studio activations, amplifying its message and global reach.

As the brand expands internationally, it’s clear this movement is about more than physical growth. STRONG Pilates is reshaping the industry for both franchisees and members, delivering innovation, support, and a uniquely compelling vision. The #MoreThanPilates campaign is more than a slogan—it’s a rallying cry for those seeking a bold, results-driven approach to fitness. With its momentum building, STRONG is set to redefine what the future of fitness looks—and feels—like.
