Location Details
Shop 2A/ 2 Alice St
Located in Mittagong with ample parking, the studio sits in a small shopping street alongside a busy post office and popular café, offering strong visibility and convenient access for clients.
Potential
The studio currently runs 34 classes per week, with strong potential to expand. No weekend classes are offered yet, creating immediate growth opportunities. Additional potential lies in introducing specialised classes, incorporating different equipment, and tailoring programs to new client groups. The business offers flexibility — work in the studio as an instructor or run it under management while building on its strong foundations.
Skills
To work in the business as an instructor, a Reformer Pilates qualification is essential, with a Diploma strongly recommended to adapt and modify exercises for a wide range of clients. Beyond teaching, an understanding of business operations is valuable — including marketing, social media engagement, and financial planning — to help grow the client base and maximise the studio’s potential. Strong people skills, leadership, and community connection will further support success.
Hours
Hours are flexible and depend on the individual’s availability and commitment.
Lease
The lease is a 3×3; we are 2.5 years into the first term, with a verbal agreement that it can be transferred.
Employees
We have 6 casual employees, with an additional 4 instructors available to cover classes as needed.
Reason for Sale
The sale is not due to business performance. We purchased 2.5 years ago but are now relocating interstate to be closer to family.
About the Business
This compelling advertisement presents an exceptional turnkey business opportunity for aspiring Pilates instructors in the picturesque Southern Highlands region of New South Wales. The Freeform Pilates studio, strategically located in Mittagong's vibrant heart, represents a rare chance to acquire an established wellness business with tremendous growth potential.
The studio boasts five premium Allegro 2 Balanced Body reformers, representing a significant investment in top-tier Pilates equipment. Beyond the reformers, the facility includes comprehensive auxiliary equipment such as jump boards, boxes, weights, therabands, and foam rollers—everything needed to deliver diverse, engaging classes. The thoughtfully designed space maximizes both functionality and aesthetic appeal, creating an inviting environment for clients of all fitness levels.
What sets this opportunity apart is its thriving community of loyal clients, many of whom have maintained their memberships for years. Under new ownership just two years ago, the studio has experienced remarkable expansion, with class offerings doubling during this period. This growth trajectory demonstrates both the strong demand for quality Pilates instruction in the area and the business's solid operational foundation.
The studio currently operates with a team of six experienced instructors, providing stability and expertise that would benefit any new owner. This established teaching staff ensures continuity of service and maintains the high standards that clients expect.
Positioned in Mittagong's bustling center, the studio benefits from excellent visibility and accessibility. The location places it within a growing wellness ecosystem, surrounded by complementary health and fitness businesses that create natural referral opportunities and collaborative partnerships.
The current owner operates the business remotely, demonstrating the studio's operational independence and systematic approach to management. This setup offers flexibility for potential buyers who may wish to maintain similar arrangements or take a more hands-on approach.
The flexible 3x3 lease terms and landlord's openness to transfer provide additional security and negotiating power for serious buyers, reducing typical barriers associated with commercial property transitions.
This opportunity represents more than just a business purchase—it's a chance to step into a community-focused wellness enterprise with established systems, loyal clientele, and proven growth potential in one of NSW's most desirable regional locations.
History
The studio has been under my ownership for the past two and a half years, and prior to that, another instructor had it for five years, with many clients remaining from the original roster. We have developed a robust partnership with the physiotherapy clinic across the street, creating a symbiotic relationship.
