We are thrilled to be re-signed for our next 10 year term…Out of all of my different careers this is by far the best thing I have ever done and I truly love what I do! The IM=X® Pilates franchise allowed my husband to quit his job, and we have lived solely off our IM=X studio’s income for the past 10 years with a great lifestyle and more freedom.”

Rhonda Webber, Owner, IM=X® Lake Oswego OR

Consumers are embracing the low-impact, high-results workout known as pilates, currently one of the fastest growing fitness trends in the nation. IM=X® has updated the classic pilates method with modern gym practices by adding more cardio work, offering classes tailored to client’s fitness goals… And there is an added bonus: Franchisees are entitled to certifications annually which can be used in any manner they choose for employees.“

What you get is what worked over time and the critical tools to will make it work for you.”
