Reformer-Based Pilates Studio Selects Popular Mixed-Use District for Their Inaugural Location in Tennessee
FRANKLIN, Tenn. (June 29, 2026) – BODYBAR Pilates, a boutique fitness brand known for its reformer-based group classes, will open its first Tennessee studio at Meridian Cool Springs, a popular mixed-use district at the heart of Franklin’s Cool Springs area, in fall 2026.
The fast-growing fitness franchise will be located at the entrance of Meridian Cool Springs off Carothers Parkway, across the street from the district’s lively green space and prominent restaurants: Little Hats Market and Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream. Conveniently situated off of I-65, Meridian Cool Springs offers an ideal location for professionals and visitors to gather. This will be the district’s first retailer to offer the popular reformer Pilates class, putting it within easy reach of people who live and work nearby.
“BODYBAR Pilates fits in perfectly with our shop, dine and work design,” said Mark Traylor, director of retail at Boyle. “We’ve built a premier community in Williamson County based on connection that conveniently offers everything guests need in one place. BODYBAR Pilates mirrors our other recent additions to enhance visitor experience and bring new options to the greater community.”
Classes at BODYBAR Pilates Franklin are built around the BODYBAR Method, which uses Pilates to build strength and endurance with the energy of a true group workout. The studio is built to help members find their inner athlete while joining a community that pushes and supports them.
The 2,900-square-foot studio will house 14 reformers and more than seven class formats, from the signature Reformer class to Reformer Jump, Reformer Chair, Mixed Equipment, Classic, Power Tower and Stretch & Balance, giving newcomers and seasoned athletes alike a class to grow into. An in-studio boutique will carry premium activewear and lifestyle products, mixing well-known favorites with smaller, harder-to-find brands.
“I’m thrilled to bring BODYBAR Pilates to Meridian Cool Springs,” said Brenda Warkow, owner of BODYBAR Pilates Franklin. “It’s a special space in a location unlike anywhere else in the area, and I can’t wait to open the doors. My hope is that everyone who walks in feels welcome and leaves a little stronger than when they arrived. This is a one-of-a-kind studio in a one-of-a-kind location, and I’m proud it will be the first of its kind in Tennessee.”
