The Best of the Best Franchises list features Club Pilates, Pure Barre, StretchLab and YogaSix, ranking all four brands as number one in their respective industry categories of Pilates, barre, assisted-stretching and yoga.
Pure Barre Franchise Owner Hilary Sherman from Decatur, Georgia spoke of her experience as part of Pure Barre’s industry leading system, “I think for me it’s the level of support Xponential and Pure Barre give its franchisees. Not only do they have resources and tools that are readily available, but they’re also incredibly approachable. They get right back to you. And the consistency in the brand for me demonstrates good operational support and infrastructure.”
Making the Top Franchises for Multi-Unit Owners list in Entrepreneur are Xponential Fitness brands’ Club Pilates at No. 51, Pure Barre at No. 78, StretchLab at No. 110, CycleBar at No. 148 and YogaSix at No. 150. The Top Franchises for Multi-Unit Owners list recognizes companies with the most compelling multi-unit ownership opportunity.

I have been riding that train and it’s been successful, so I’m not going to stop.”
“These prestigious accolades for half of our brands are a true testament to Xponential’s strength and innovation in the boutique fitness industry, and is only possible through the dedication, creativity and hard work of our talented franchise partners and the hundreds of thousands of studio team members who are the heartbeat of our brands,” said Sarah Luna, President of Xponential Fitness. “We are still in the early stages of global growth and development; and are excited to see where all our brands and franchise partners can build fitness communities with our industry-leading boutique fitness offerings.”
