Club Pilates Madison West

Ownership

The Madison West location has been owned by Josh Schultz and his wife Paula since September 2019, making them local franchise operators. However, Club Pilates was acquired by Xponential Fitness, so the corporate ownership is non-local and PE-backed.

Local Sourcing

Equipment appears to be branded from national suppliers (Balanced Body equipment mentioned in LinkedIn profile) and supplies follow corporate brand standards with no evidence of local sourcing practices in search results.

Community Involvement

At the national level, Club Pilates has partnerships with Salvation Army for seasonal giving campaigns, but no specific community sponsorships or deep ties found for the Madison West location in available sources.

Local Workforce

A former Madison West employee reported unprofessional management practices including shifts removed without discussion, though training was described as decent. Broader reviews indicate mixed workplace culture issues across locations.

Revenue Retention

Franchisees contribute to national advertising funds (usually 1-3% of sales) and incur technology fees, with the direct parent being XPOF Assetco, LLC, meaning most revenue flows to corporate/parent company rather than staying local.

Local Presence

Website is entirely generic franchise boilerplate with location selector ('FIND A STUDIO NEAR YOU'), no owner/staff names, no Madison-specific references, corporate careers portal ('Become an Instructor'), and standardized template language. Zero local personality or differentiation signals present.
